Not Being a Joker, We Need A The Finals Thread

Wilt never fouled out. (But should have against the Knicks in the finals, I'll get over it some day).
Good job Denver,
winning easily while getting little from Braun (that hype train was out of control)

Probably not much since the Heat have him for 2 more years after this at reasonable money.
It’s not Canadian wildfires causing fallout across the mid-Atlantic, it’s the impact from Caleb Martin crashing back to Earth.
I love that it was Wade who was made to stare at the impending doom, nothing he could do about it, and then just bends over, deflated. Much like tonight!
Anyway, the thing with Denver is that, you could take Jokic off the team and they'd still be a playoff team. Not a favorite by any means, but they'd make the playoffs. The roster is really deep and defensively solid.
Even with the refball and a bad Murray game Denver still wins and in total control of the series.
Miami’s Undrafted starting backcourt had 2 points in 38 minutes, going 1-10, 0-7 from three.
Miami cools off dramatically from three, at 8-25, with the starters going only 4-15.
Denver goes 12-24 from three, 12 more points from behind the line in a 13 point win.
Murray 12 assists for 0 turnovers.
Gordon 27/7/6 points on 15 shots, with a plus 29. He neutralized Butler’s 25/7/7.
Bruce Brown would have been a great add for the Celtics this year. Denver put the ball in his hands in closing time, and he came through big time. 21 big points on 8-11 shooting.
This Nuggets team is getting more and more likable as they repel the Heat bullshit over and over again.

Good question, not a great contract
After this playoff run, maybe they move Herro + Lowry's last year for an expensive star like Beal.
Wizards are in shake-up mode
I actually would be worried about Beal getting healthy and being acceptable on defense if he played for Miami.
I agree a competitive environment, like Miami, would give his career & defense a jolt
Miami is the one team that could live with a concentration of 3 high-paid players (Jimmy, Beal, Bam) since they have the guts & system to play unheralded players.
Finals have been two days off between games for awhile now iirc. Maybe 10 years?
Looks like the NBA negotiated the two days off between games for The Finals with the network a couple tv deals ago.
That'd make sense, except there were also 2 days off between games 1 and 2, both in Denver.
