NBA Playoffs...

The Heat won the first quarter 21-20? 😭

Dude I'm sure you're just trying to get underneath somebody's skin here something but pick a different battle. You're not making any sense here. 😘
Denver scored 20 in the first with Love in the game. Denver scored 35 in the 2nd without Love. Denver scores at will when Love isn't in the game.

Now you bring Drago back in. Murray seems gunshy firing from beyond the arc rather than dribble driving and missing closer looks in.
 
Spo should have gotten creative and found a way for both Love and Martin to be on the court. Spo will do it next game. He's always late.
 
Joker and Murray both with pedestrian nights. Nuggets win by 13. I'm telling you man this Heat team is probably the fourth best team they faced in the playoffs.

Denver, as pointed out by Van Gundy, doesn't miss a mis-match. If you're going to have Robinson in there for scoring Denver will continually go to Brown.

Butler said he's gotta be better. If that was better, he's still not good enough and I'm beyond convinced he's far from 100%.

Kenny Smith made a valid comparison postgame on NBA TV, Denver is this decades Spurs. Motion, passing.

The problem when you win, everyone wants to get paid. Let's see if they can keep this group together.

Bruce Brown will be gone next year but as far as the core goes nobody's going anywhere.

There's an outside shot MPJ gets traded eventually but it would be for another max player.

Denver is really hard to defend. You watch other teams and players go to their spots hoping to get the ball
if the pg drives and kicks it out, or they get a ball screen. Denver is in constant motion, you never know who
is going to dive to the basket. One possession KCP might be baseline, other possession free throw line extended.

It's a well coached team....Spo is helpless, they don't have the man power to stop it.

I agree that Denver is a well oiled machine and Malone is pushing all the right buttons. But Spo is blowing it with personnel. The first game Denver scored 29 points in the first quarter w/o Love. In the next 3 games 23, 24 and 20 in the first quarter with Love. Spo needs both Love and Martin starting. and playing as many minutes as possible. Strus is brutal.

Yeah Bruce Brown is gone next year but the core will be together for the next few years.
