The Nuggets were smart to just let Bam get his. He's not a player who is going to beat you by himself.

The Nuggets were smart to let the Heat shoot 30% on wide open 3s instead of 60%.

I wish we thought of that!  :o

Tyler Herro will be back by Game 3 or 4 and provide a spark for them.
I expect Herro will be a dud like Jameer Nelson was for Orlando in 2009. Jameer only hurt the Magic. I expect Herro to do the same for MIA.

MIA better off playing their healthy, in-form and ready to play guys instead of a guy who hasn't played for 6 weeks and is trying to play himself back into game shape / game sharpness. A guy whose game is entirely reliant on being 95-100% game sharpness to be anyway effective due to his reliance on outside shooting and inability to impact the game defensively or rebounding wise is almost certainly going to struggle while he works his way back into shape.

This Denver team is phenomenal and deep. Got off to a bad start, saw Miami's shooters be red hot. And what do they do? Fight back and counterpunch. From down 12 to now just 3.

Wish the C's had an ounce of that fight and mentality this postseason.

Denver did it last round too against a Lakers team with Lebron + AD + the refs + media. Swept them

And now Denver is up 10. A ferocious 22-3 run from them.

Meanwhile Spo has kept Bam and Jimmy each on the bench for a while. Guess he's also a bad coach  :P

What a run by Denver

27-6, but also it was a 21-6 run to start the 2nd with Jokic ON THE BENCH.

I love Jaylen but like, when Tatum was limited he absolutely wet the bed in Game 7. Meanwhile a guy like Jamal Murray is just out there taking charge and leading a run while Jokic's out. Murray isn't turning the ball over a bunch either. Smart plays. Denver is deep.

Miami are doing a pretty good job keeping Denver out of the paint. C’s would be down double digits with this defensive intensity.

The refs are screwing Denver over big time this quarter. Good job by Denver keeping their composure so far.
