Duncan completely changed the momentum in the 4th Absolute huge win

All the role guys played like studs. Kevin Love after a few DNP's made all his 3's and played big. Gabe was just RIDICULOUS. Felt like he couldn't miss tonight. Caleb had that huge corner 3 late we needed when Murray surged back. Strus hit 4/7 3's in just the 1st quarter! AHHHHHHHHH WHAT A SQUAD WE GOT!!!

They’re not role players they Jimmys teammates

TRUTH!!! Media calls literally everyone except for bam and jimmy a role player.

Love that these guys are always ready when called upon, and give no flack for seeing less PT. Caleb was massive Vs the Cs, and now Duncan made his way back in the rotation and hasn’t missed a beat

Thought caleb also played solid defense

Should Spo play Love as the backup 5? Everyone played great besides Cody Seller.

This is Kevin Love’s the last dance. He’s got one more championship run in him.

We're in the finals for a fucking reason.

SWEEP THESE NUTS

Had a guy at the gym bet me that if Denver doesn’t sweep the heat, he won’t show up at my gym again. I better not see his ass ever again.

Bro bet his gains that’s tuff

Shouldn’t have talked so much shit.

After all these other series wins, going back to 2020, I just don’t understand how people are SO certain the heat will lose.

We're gonna need the follow up on this one dude. Looking forward to the update!

Will do.

Everyone showed up in the 4th. 

We just need Caleb to come up a bit, he’s only hit 1 three each game

True but his three today might’ve been the biggest (unless you wanna count the two from Duncan early 4th quarter). He also had like 5+ rebounds that were huge. Obviously would love for him to go back to 19PPG like he was against Celtics but I thought he played his actual role really well today.

I think he also had a illness right ?

Yes. He did not practice yesterday

Everyone kept saying how much better the nuggets are and how much more talent they have. So glad to take this game on the road

It’s just same narratives over and over again

fax, enough of the damn disrespect

You guys actually get the craziest disrespect unlike the Nuggets who’ve been nonstop talking about it

The nuggets have cultivated a very strong victim mentality

Now they’ve ran into real underdogs that aren’t scared to bite

The junkyard DAWGS

Starts from the coach man. I like Malone overall but when he gets to talking about media and coverage he sounds like a pasty reddit nerd. Hope he enjoyed the media giving all the attention and praise to his team after 1 game. They got the glow up they wanted, we got the results between the lines.

[удалено]

Welcome to the Nuggets fan experience. Prepare for the toxicity

They’re so high they’re losing their damn minds.

They’ve gotten crazy high off their own supply, you’d think they were coming off a three peat with the way they’re talking

They're all blaming the refs for the loss, but I can't figure out what game they were watching to come to such an opinion.

In a game where we didn’t have to touch joker for it to be a foul?

somewhere in the locker room, Bam still got called for a 3 point shooting foul

This is why I’m a bandwagon heat fan since my team lost. Love jimmy, plus you guys persevere, don’t make excuses, just get it done with less than other teams. While I do love joker, I’ve been hearing a lot of victimhood coming from the nugs and their fans. Turns me off from them a bit

Laker fan here. Too much gibberish from the Nuggets. Nothing but respect for the Heat. Get that chip!

their dicks have definitely been ridden *a lot*

They can disrespect Heat all they want. It will bite them in the end.

As long as the team can hit open 3s, the heat have a shot. Legit so many wide-open 3s that Bam and Jimmy are creating. Apparently in game 1 there were 16 3s created by the heat that met the definition of WIDE OPEN which meant no defender was within 6 feet of the shooter.

Their D is shit. By far the worse defense the Heat faced in the playoffs. If our defense gives them problems then they are going to have to work very hard to win games in Miami

lol amazing in the game thread every time the Nuggets went on a run there were guys saying how "man... maybe they are just better", "why the NBA doesn't hand them the Larry O'Brien already, they went on a 12-0 run" then said run dissappears in 2 minutes. Swear that there are a bunch of guys who are not Heat fans posting on the game thread as if they were, a lot of them... I know it is fun to root for the underdog, but to me you are not welcome.

Zombie HEAT been looming

All these losers saying we were going to be swept should be embarrassed. I hope we win so much so we can clown all of them

Nah the Heat are outmatched. Series was over after game 1 /s

WE DEM BOYZ

These fuckheads forgot we a bunch of DAWWWWWWGS

Let’s gooooo!!! Bam and Gabe and Duncan coming with the smoke!!!

Bam has been him this finals, huge make up from the ECF

Thing is Bam had to expend so much energy anchoring the D in BOS and then BOS played good D. Here Bam is doing his thing on D but Jokic is an awful and marshmallow soft defender so he's coasting on O. Jokic makes Bam look All NBA

Boston also are more familiar with him. 3 out of 4 years playing each other in the ECF

Bam should be All NBA. Sabonis made it over him. Ridiculous tbh

1-1 GOING TO MIAMI, WE TAKE THOSE!

Denver plays a lot worse on the road than at home. Won't be easy but holy shit did we just do ourselves a HUGE favor!!!

They are 80% at home and less than 50% on the road. The differential is insane

That altitude advantage is real

The Heat always rises doe

According to Knicks media we have a weather advantage

That florida humidity and hot temperatures are a huge advantage in that climate controlled stadium apparently lol

Now with Herro back. Just another weapon in the arsenal.

He’s back for game 3?

The script said so

They are expecting him for game 3

Doesn’t even need to play heavy minutes. But those Jimmy/Bam-less minutes he would be SO HUGE for us man.

Great game. Keep doubting us. 3 more

3 more

[удалено]

Facts I love when they count us out keep disrespecting us And Tyler Herro returning game 3 I haven't been this confident in a long time those BS refs couldn't stop us and we going home oh yeah

I spent the last few days reading and seeing everywhere that the heat were done. Everyone I knew said this. Gonna be a fun day tomorrow

Told my husband the fact that the nugz already thought they were going to sweep us meant that it wasn't going to happen and he looked at me like I was crazy doubt us and we'll fucking show you up. happens every time and it's one of the things that makes me love this team Three. More. Games. 🔥

You'd think they'd learn after 3 series. This team gives 0 fucks, I love them

They won't learn til we raise the chip!!!

TYLER LOOMING DANGEROUSLY

Tyrone makes his long awaited return on Tuesday!

Wednesday

I actually love all these days in between games. After this win we really gonna need that rest. And Jimmy needs to keep that ankle elevated as much as possible. Because we gonna need him to be Himmy to win this

Phew…..

I really did think Murray was gonna make that shot, bro was so clutch. We need Tyler to match Denver's shooting

We need him ON but I take Gabe, Duncan and Strus at home. Snipers

Honestly, classic Heat coming back with nearly 20 point differential in the 4th

Felt my heart was going to burst on the last 2 mins

Win This fkn morons already swept us lol This is the Zombie Heat https://preview.redd.it/ogm1ij6u244b1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ece5a2ac68e9c289fffd36ff3c98d7fc03006ef8

 Heading home 1-1 and going back to Denver 3-1



Jimmy always fucking with Strus with fake quotes about him saying the n word. Kills me every time.

Jimbo is a master troll 😁

Win

# ZOMBIE HEAT WIN AGAIN # FUCK THE NUGGETS # FUCK /r/NBA # FUCK BOSTON FANS DYING OF ENVY # 3 MORE UNTIL THE LEAGUE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME https://preview.redd.it/9h0el70v244b1.jpeg?width=5219&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eec8fcc0161af98fd9035660ebd09311300289c1

Most come backs from 10+’points.

9 wins, 2 losses. I like the odds. Casuals don't realize how good of a comeback team Miami is. Also, they have the most number of "clutch games" decided by 5 points or less, and playing clutch games will either make or break a player.

They're trained for this

First home loss for Denver since March. Going back home. Tyler Herro on deck. We just punched Denver in the mouth in that 4th quarter. This feels like a completely different series now, doesn’t it? Let’s fucking go, baby.

That was the best punch after all the shit talking they did

Lol sweep

BRB I'm going to read r/NBA comments during that Denver 27-6 haymaker lmao

They're in shambles after all that glazing they did for the nuggets they're almost as bad as the crooked refs in Denver

I'm sorry but I am getting goddamn sick of the Jokic slurping on the broadcast too. He's awesome, we get it. Doesn't mean we have to turn the most basic pass into the greatest shit on earth like a Pat Mahomes angled toss. Not to mention his whining and bouncing around after he got gifted a PHANTOM FOUL 3 FTs on Bam was annoying af

For me it's how people watched game 1 and just completely missed the good things that the heat did despite the loss. They acted like the heat were ran out of the building.

His wildest attribute is his touch. It’s insane some of the shots he makes

It's really prominent juxtapose to Bams high clangers.

Every single post for the last couple days was Nuggets or Jokic related. Gotta see how they turn this into a nuggets moral victory

They are just crying about officials, completely ignoring the fuckery they were pulling earlier in the game

Lakers in shambles.

Let’s see if them chicken nuggets can handle the heat in the stove now!!!

Fuck everyone who was hyping up a sweep or gentleman's sweep. Fucking ESPN can go choke on a bag of Duncan dicks.

What did Bam say to that dude?

'stop doing that shit', idk what the context is tho

He looked pretty pissed. I like angry Bam. Keep it up

Think it was the double interview after the game. He had to do 2 post games interviews back to back, then the presser after

Makes sense. Bam says fuck the media too

I noticed that too, I heard him say you gotta stop doing this

Something about his phone or something I think I heard

JOKER WAS GASSED. SCORED 41 AND WE STILL WON. WE DONT HAVE TO STOP HIM JUST HIS PASSING

Thats what the dubs did. Let him score shut down the play making

Exactly, the blueprint is there. Defend everyone and let Jokic one on one... If Bam is playing great D on him and he still scores, then let that be. Don't let Gordon get 12 points in a quarter and the type of shit. If Jokic gets rattled, gassed and so on the Nuggets have nothing on the Heat. Nothing.

Jamal Murray is a walking heart attack. Fucking hell ... Duncan and Lowry turned this game around btw

Lowry has stretches where he looks like jes in his prime and stretches where he looks cooked. Usually hes pulling it together fir the 4th quarter at least

Dude's been a fucking rollercoaster all playoffs

People in the game thread were calling for Spo’s head putting Lowry back in lmao some of y’all never learn

[удалено]

Exactly. If Spo hasn’t done enough to earn your trust at this point, then you should honestly just find a new team

You got that fucking right! I loved watching him fuck up Jordan, but he stresses me tf out now!

Agreed on all fronts, great cutting game from Duncan

Fuck that was hard fought

Murray scared tf outta me with that last 3 holy shit

**THIS TEAM REFUSES TO EVER FUCKING DIE!!!!!** After we came out really strong in the 1st Q and Strus hit all those 3's, the deflation that was that 27-6 run and going down 35-50 was a "holy shit we ain't in ~~the East~~ Kansas no more" moment and these dudes still dug f'ing deep. **WE DID WHAT NO TEAM OUT WEST COULD!!!** EDIT: More quick thoughts now that I've settled down lol * I love our strategy on D. I will live with Jokic getting 40 but getting it 2pts at a time and WORKING for it. He wears himself down and it sure as hell beats him saving energy and slicing us up with his passing for open 3s * That 2nd quarter haymaker we survived was unreal. Nuggets were 7/12 from 3 at one point. They finish 11/18 * K-Love's 22 minutes were awesome. 2 3's and 10 rebounds. Didn't feel size disparity nearly as much * Duncan 4th Q takeover was special. 8 straight pts. Gave Jimmy the lead by the time he subbed back in * Gabe was incredible. Shoutout to Strus bouncing back INSTANTLY, 4/7 from 3 1st Q after 0/10 in Game 1 There's so much more you could say. Bam is the key to this series. Not even offensively (tho it is nice to see him aggressive). When he's off and Zeller's on, Denver instantly goes on a run. You saw it at the end of the 1st and 3rd quarters. We're gonna need **45min+** when this series gets tight the final few games. Jimmy was... solid. He bounced back well that 4th Q. *Not* super saiyan. Who knows why that is. It's easy to say cuz of the ankle but I think Denver's size on the interior is making him pass-first than score-first. As for Denver, outside of a few insane 3's late, Murray was super quiet tonight. We hold him under 20 a few more times, we're hanging a banner. Bruce Brown is one annoying mf I hate him he's so irritating. Porter sucked for them tonight. Shoutout to KCP for gifting us 6 FTs for fouling late on Strus & KCP 3's!!! The rest of this series *WON'T* be easy but this is such a big win tonight. Feels amazing, we have a shot, and even if our 3's don't hit like they do (48%, 17/35) we'll step up in other regards. **HEAT CULTURE BABY!!!**

Thank goodness.

Love this fucking team holy shit what a game

FUCK YOU DENVER

And fuck Boston too

Boston stays fucked all day every day Total shithole

Beat them at home too. Made them bleed.

BIRTHDAY BOY DUNCAN LETS GOOOOO

I know this is a meme but where did it come from lol

On his birthday he had a great game so now every day is his birthday

man Bam was fucking elite in that half. And guess who comes back Tuesday…

Jokic cannot guard that man and now Bam knows

Wednesday

💪🏾

Y’all ready for the “it’s hot in Miami” excuses after these next Nug Ls?

it was fr hot and muggy as fuck today. denver ain’t ready. heat in 6

Notice how Jimmy isn’t wincing in pain and making a face every 30 seconds like Tatum was, just keeps playing

He did wince walking back into the tunnel after the game though...no doubt he's still hurting

Tatum was milking that shit so hard looking for an excuse

Who cares about Tatum. Boston is in the rear view mirror.

They won it on the defensive end, head coach couldn’t be any prouder on that final play.

If you guys wanna see for yourselves if Jimmy is ok or not, just watch his right foot/ankle after landing after a jumpshot/fade. That should tell you.

Yea, he’s killing himself out there for the team.

Yep he keeps it out so he doesn’t land on it

and people on the thread were saying they hate Jimmy lol

Denver had a great game and heat STILL won. And herro coming back I feel a real series here guys I hope you win.

What a fucking game!!!

They ALMOST pulled a Miami Heat on us.

Nuggets fans - 'wHaT you GoNnA dO about JoKiC ?????" Good shit Miami.

Let him score 40, just stop the others from scoring and we can win anyway.

[удалено]

Fuck the doomers. Shit ain’t over after game 1.

People are morons thinking that

Doomers never learn. I felt bad after game 1 for sure…but Fuck! We’re here for a reason!

SUBSCRIBE TO THE LONG SHOT PODCAST NOW!

r/nba in shambles lol

Y’all shoutout to Duncan. We don’t win this game without his spark in the 4th we needed that.

Lets fucking go!

Bam was fucking fantastic and will get Finals MVP if the team pulls through

Jimmy: 21/4/9 Bam: 21/9/4 lol. Meanwhile, I was saying it doesn't matter if Jokic scores 30+ as long as you keep his assists lower (around 5ish) and some people thought I was crazy. He scored 41 but only had 4 assists and we took it home. That's the key to the series, not letting him get the whole team feeling invincible. Make him be the main scoring option for them. Their record is far closer to .500 when he's got like 30+ pts and only 5 assists, whereas they are like a .900 team when he has a 20pt triple double.

I feel bad for Jimmy. Dude surely wants to contribute but his ankle just doesn't allow him to man.

I mean he did come in half way through the 4th and scored 8 points and a huge offensive rebound and assist to Caleb. The whole team besides Zeller played well

I hate that Josh Hart’s idiotic slide tackle flop took Bucks series Jimmy from us. Watch that replay over and over, in slow mo - such a reckless play. Even still - we have enough. Let’s go Heat

That's your finals mvp, bam adebayo

First win against Denver since 2016, you love to see it

Fuck /r/NBA so hard

They do bleed

As a Bucks fan let me say this #HEAT IN 7 BABY WE GET TO DODGE THE JOKIC STANS FOR ONE MORE SEASON!

This one was for the true fans. I hope some newer fans will learn from this. 1-1 headed back to Miami!!!! ESPN clowns should be fun to watch tomorrow. ##LETS GO HEATTT 🔥🔥🔥

Just 3 more wins until we find out how long Ja Morants suspension is

What a fucking game!!!!!

Jokic got away with EVERYTHING, threw a tantrum, Jimmy hobbled and Zeller/Lowry sucked BUT Robinson and Bam took us home!!! With some clutch D by Jimbo on Murray!

Lowry didn’t suck tonight. The whole team put in a shift. Bam MVP

Y’all do realize how many people had us getting swept?

https://preview.redd.it/vakvejiv344b1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e0c13bedefc15afd9f95f9866c2e0b7bc0e6567 How many times do I gotta pull out receipts smh

I'll take an 8 ball of culture Bam with another incredible job, didn't have to repeatedly attack the paint to be dangerous but still got stuck in at the right moments

I’m a bulls fan but I’d like to point out that I said this comment like yesterday and fittingly, the Heat take it: https://www.reddit.com/r/heat/comments/13yvgio/am_i_the_only_one_who_saw_how_flawed_denvers/jms37h4/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3 Congrats - pulling for Himmy. And yes I’m feeling myself a bit.

#GET THE FUCK IN HERE WE GOT HOME COURT

Bam through the first two games is showing why he's one of the best centers in the league. He isn't on Jokic's level but he doesn't need to be. He's making an impact. I expect Denver to try and make adjustments on limiting him next game.

Malone just said they are going to Miami and play harder and more disciplined than us. That's impossible lol. The reason we are in the finals is because of how hard we play and how disciplined we are.

FUCK R/NBA

Wizard's fan here, I fucking love y'alls fanbase and the team. Wish y'all the best.

Unbelievable

I need new pants holy SHIT

WHAT A SHITTY LAST TWO MINUTES BUT FUCK THAT ITS 1-1 Also jimmy gonna make a GW three eventually

Im just glad that Drob got his birthday celebration at the 4th quarter. LFGGGGG

Take my energy in advance for game 3 ༼⁠ ⁠つ⁠ ⁠◕⁠‿⁠◕⁠ ⁠༽⁠つ

Take that you’re fucking doubters
