  1. It's a given that the Joker is the best player. But this is a team sport. What is scary for Denver is, Spo has more experience, the heat combined has more IQ, I mean if u look at kcp, brown, porter jr and big Bubba gordon, no way they have more IQ than the heat shooters. In other words, the heat has more play makers. The heat has more permutations on their plays of their play makers than Denver. Denver only has two. Overtime, the defense can learn. Spo has seen it all, no matter how amazing Murray and Joker are, if spo figures them out then the well might be dry for Denver. For Denver to win, Malone has to really learn on the fly. He has beaten good coaches, but he is new to the finals, and he has to beat Spo who will try everything and he is a great coach. Look at Spos eyebags. It shows that he is trying to figure everything for his team. Let's see.

  2. Nuggets went numb. That wasn't finals basketball that was trashball. Get it together because Game 3 is crucial. Game 2 was but they didn't cut the crap. Nuggets y'all better pack on the seasoning. Win it brilliance wins

  3. The more I watch the more I see Joker winning an Oscar… flop so much… little Gabe Vincent ain’t moving that mountaintop an inch… but he can play bully ball and lower his shoulder and body into Gabe all he wants… uses his off hand to push away the defender a lot… I’m glad the heat brought it to them… Heat will win it all! Go Heat!!!
