(1) denver nuggets (8) miami heat 2023 nba finals ft the joker and mommy butler

Damn they should sit Joker the whole game

heat should think about trying to win the non-jokic minutes

no it’s good

as I’ve been saying all year the jeff green minutes are where it’s at

Jokic water polo passes are the best

hello is anyone on ILH watching the NBA finals

i'll be caught up for the second half

the thing about sweden in june is the sun doesn’t really set so if you like to sleep the jokes on you

it’s moments like this when using a roster spot on udonis haslem seems most valuable

insane 3rd from Joker

do you think jimmy knows the finals have started?

glad to see him fulfill his childhood dream of watching a Finals game

I feel like if I were the best player in the playiffs, I’d have more than 10 field goals through 7 quarters. personally!

do you think jimmy just really loves playing in the eastern conference playoffs?

might have to make a "do not make fun of jimmy butler for doing so tempts fate" sign that i can tap

well as they say the Heat are very much "back on their bullshit" right now

might be time for denver to get the starters back in

heat can win any game if and only if they shoot 50% from 3, is the theme of this playoffs

lol Bam sold that pretty hard

Denver kind of self destructing.

amazing Miami is flopping their way into a road Finals victory

too many fouls

steam coming out of jokic's ears rn

nuggets trying out the “ do everything wrong” strategy

can't they look back and switch that block to a goaltend, the way they switch 2s to 3s and vice versa? or does it need to be reviewed in the moment since it was a live ball as it was played

no

ya even I think it was a goaltend

ooooh this might be a game still

in my opinion the Heat absolutely have to hang on to this lead

No timeout?!

such a weird game beginning to end

no Miami Heat playoff game has had any momentum or flow whatsoever

this has been their playstyle for this entire iteration of the team

my understanding of this series boils down to white elephant art vs termite art

silly game

gotta say for all the praise Christian Braun got in the 1st half he really blew it in the 2nd on defense

That goaltend call was big. Jamal got a good look tho at the end

the two Jamal 3s before that were amazing shots

maybe coaches should start using timeouts at the ends of games idk

watched this play live and gasped that he shot it with two wide open teamates

8 points on 3-5 shooting in the 4th for butler while facilitating the offense down the stretch

funny thread to read back

17-9-4 on 50/81 shooting for bam in the playoffs now w/ two street free agents as his back ups

23-11-4 on 54% shooting in this series while battling jokic for 40 mins per game

sabonis was third team all NBA this year… wonderful season for him but the heat have the guy who wins you playoff games

i know embiid is obviously a better basketball player than bam but the next time embiid is playing with that level of intensity and endurance in an NBA finals game (while putting up 20/10) will be the first

;) I was texting a heat fan buddy of mine at the same time so I was just getting a little riled up. I do like how he gets sleepy during the games tho maybe he should drink a coffee or something

Gabe Vincent's jumping 180 faceplant flop might usher in a new era of "trick flopping", but Bam is amazing.

The Heat are shooting 50% on Wide Open and 44% on Open threes against MIL/BOS/DEN. Their opponents are shooting 39% and 33% on those shot types!

Jimmy was just sitting there in the corner waiting for the ball. Boom.
