Jokic scoring because he has to.  Not getting any help.  Murray is quiet and Porter sucks imho.
MPJ has had a poor playoffs. Disappointing.

Nice player. Has a lot of similarities offensively to a young Rashard Lewis. But he hasn't found any consistent role offensively behind J Murray and Jokic. I thought he looked better while Murray was out injured. Saw more of the ball. More shots. Too peripheral with Murray back in the lineup and dominating. MPJ doesn't find his shots within the offense anymore.

And he is not much of a defender so he can't make for the downturn on offense elsewhere.

Good courage by C Martin to keep shooting.

Malone with the Mazz special in letting that broken play run out, ending with a terrible shot. God that infuriates me so much

Was that not a goaltend?
I’d say that missed call had quite the impact

Wow what a great game by the heat in the 4th.  35 points in the fourth.  Just took home court back...I really don’t like the guys on the heat but I respect them.

Not really. If Denver’s others show up this series will not be close.

What a game by Miami. Ballsy effort all night

Hate to say it but both these teams are 100x more mentally tougher than the C’s. Even when another team makes a run the other side always fights back. C’s typically fold or just lose the game off it (remember late Game 2? Up 9, MIA ends on a 24-9 run with barely any resistance)

Is there going to be a thread about Malone not calling timeout on that last possession? It almost seems as if these coaches in the NBA trust their guys.

Miami barely survived despite being up double digits with 3 minutes to go.

Felt like we went through that. If the Cs just showed up….

It was disgracefully bad. But of course, the NBA cannot review those mistakes, because reasons…

What do you mean “not really.” Heat just stole home court and they are getting Herro back for game 3.
