2023 NBA Playoffs - Other Teams

I have no clue who the hell wins this thing.

 

[Hoop Head]

Jokic is for real. If the Nuggets are healthy, I think they win the series.

There is a chance Tyler Herro could return for the Heat. He was working out before game 7.

Herro could swing the series. He's a scorer and it looks like they're planning on a game 3 return, which could give Miami a big emotional boost for their return to Miami. Kind of crazy how he suffered an injury in game 1 and it was mentioned he was done unless the Heat could make the finals and here they are. His offense would be huge for the Heat and take pressure off everyone.

Maybe. I have no doubt that Miami at full strength would crush Denver. But it depends on how much the health issues affect them.

One advantage that Miami definitely has is going to be mental toughness. They had to run a gauntlet of better teams than Denver, and do it while overcoming quite a bit of adversity. I can see Denver folding up if they have any unexpected trouble, but not Miami.

Phoenix, IMO is better than any Eastern Conference team this year

This Heat run has been amazing.

Nuggets in 5.

Stamp it.

Jalen Brown for the series
56/134 for 42%
7/43 from 3
25 turnovers

He’s wanting 50 million a year. Hi and Tatum fall apart every year in the big games. It’s gonna be an interesting offseason in Boston

I thought Barkley nailed it the post game when he said they play "hero ball". When they are cold, they don't have a base offense they run that could get easier shots. If there is an offense, they blow it off when they get the ball.

IDK. I was watching this series. Both teams had trouble scoring. But both teams brought it in energy, defense, and speed. I think our team speed doesn't stand up. We have talented guys, but seem to always get beat on long rebounds, etc. I look forward to having the opportunity at replacing up to ten guys on the roster, possibly more. Denver has two guys that work in tandem at the top of the sport. We don't have anything to counter that. We better blueprint a way.

I'm going with the Nuggets in the series.

What the Heat have going for them is their defense and Erik Spoelstra. He is a brilliant coach.

That zone ain’t gonna work against Denver. Denver is unreal against a zone defense. They pretty much score every time.

I wasn't looking forward to a Celtics-Nuggets series because I think the Celtics would have tried to maul Jokic.

The Heat-Nuggets should be a good series to watch.

 

[95pro]

This will come down to who makes the most 3's. Nuggets are more consistent, but the Heat can get hot too.

 

[Mainstreet]

Tip-off for game 1 of the Nuggets-Heat Finals series about to begin.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Nuggets are off to a 14-9 lead heading into a timeout.

 

[Phrazbit]

That was a dangerous foul by Murray.

I thought maybe he stumbled, not sure though.

Nuggets are just a machine.

Nuggets are just a machine.

The Nuggets have all five of their starters locked up for next season, probably for 2024-25 as well.

MiamI is not in Denver’s league.

 

[Mainstreet]

Adam Silver doesn't want Ja Morant information to interrupt the Finals, likely the same with head coaching announcements.

Nuggets need to wrap this up in four.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nuggets lead 59-42 at halftime.

 

[SeattleCardinal]

Miami is capable of getting hot, but they look badly overmatched against the Denver machine.

Um, this seems like a problem. It's the same guy, right?
