NBA Thread 2022-23 Season

I would have fouled

 

[ssbriefcase]

Welp. Was wrong about the sweep.

You've got plenty of company out here

 

[SWC75]

I want the Nuggies to finally win but you can't under-estimate the Heat. That's what teams have been doing the whole playoffs.

 

[SWC75]

Maybe it's time to recognize Erik Spoelstra as a great coach. He won two titles with LeBron and seemed to be along for the ride. But he's kept that job for 15 years and he might win a third with this team.

Heat Culture making a comeback!

He is recognized as a great coach. Literally an all time great.

Had Nuggets in 5.

I mean, he’s a HoF lock and the only guy with a shot at Pop’s win record.

Anyone following the NBA in a legitimate way should have no issue putting him up there with the best coaches of all time.

He and KCP lost them that game. They both are not going to like that film.

yeah I think most currently believe he is the best coach in the league, that is anyone who actually follows and watches the NBA. Lot of people like to comment on the NBA, not everyone actually watches it

Could make a video of all of the Vincent and Butler flops and Adebayo moving screens

 

[Cusefan0307]

This was in the third quarter right?

This was in the third quarter right?

Not sure

 

[Cusefan0307]

Not sure

I think it was on Vincent's 3. I remember them coming back from break mentioning it. Full disclosure I went to bed at the end of the 3rd and thought Denver had that game in the bag. Looks like they played zero defense in the 4th? Is that basically it?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Reads like biased reporting but that loss may have rattled Denver.

NBA Finals: With Game 2 collapse, the Nuggets' good vibes vanish into thin air

Denver's Finals lead, perfect playoff home record and home-court advantage are no more.

Duncan Robinson went off in the 4th a bit, as crazy as that is. The defensive communication was bad and then Denver had some turnovers that compounded it. Malone was pretty livid and rightfully so. Murray got going late giving them the chance to tie but for the most part he was absent and I’ve already mentioned how poor MPJ and KCP were.

 

[Eric15]

What was the deal with that missed goaltend toward the end? Did the refs determine that the shot couldn't have gone in regardless, or was it just a blatantly missed call?

 

[Eric15]

It felt like every shot Joker took was a 3 feet baby hook in front of the rim. Arguably the best player on Earth is not going to have much trouble with that.

 

[Eric15]

Welp. Was wrong about the sweep.

I really felt like these first two were going to be a split, but I obviously had it backward. I envisioned the Heat stealing the first game and then the Nuggets being mad/desperate and blowing their doors off in Game 2.

 

[Cusefan0307]

I think this series is going 6 or 7 now.
