    watch the double parades MIA/ FL about to pull off both as an 8th seed! And both knocking off Boston the best teams .

    Why do you think it's a fluke season? You don't see them next year being this good?

    denver played a pretty short rotation all year and everyone has been healthy throughout the playoffs. given mpj and murray's history, that's unlikely to happen again. i agree that it's a magic denver season, so they really need to take it home.

    Denver made every freakin big, timely shot (even circus ones) they needed against us. I mean EVERY SINGLE ONE. I doubt they can do it again, still, i have them winning.

    Mike Malone is offended and will rant how everyone loves the underdog Heat while his good team is being ignored...

    Update: “Probably not," Miller said when asked whether the casuals will tune in to watch the 2023 NBA Finals. "Not unless probably after Game 3 and 4 if it’s 2-2 and interest starts to build, but again, Denver-Miami is not sexy.

    Miller is OFF Malone's Christmas list, how dare he?!

    NBA ref Eric Lewis not assigned to any of the 2023 NBA Finals games probably because his team was eliminated last Saturday...

    Because They are the Denver Nuggets, they don’t act like they’ve been here before. All they did was bash the media about how they always talk about the Lakers and not the Nuggets. Even though every single media outlets picked them to beat us all I heard from them was they don’t talk about us they only talk about LeBron and the lakers . I remember my first beer too :) actually I don’t ! I also don’t think Joker and Murray Will have another great season like they are now ! Idk ! I just don’t like em .

    Exactly! Specially the 3 pointer that joker shot from back of his neck and it went in ! Wtf ! Pure luck ! I hope they get beat ! I love to see the disappointment on jokerS brother’s face in the stands when MIA wins this .

    call me crazy ! I think MIA/ BOS was the real NBA finals !

    Which one?? There were 3 impossible, well guarded, from way > DEEP ones that went in over the course of the series. On top of everything else he did greatly contributing to their win.

    Either way it’s gonna be a good one! I couldn’t care less who wins ! Boston is dust and that’s All I cared about ! I couldn’t stomach another Boston finals ! Denver wins, good for them, they finally put a trophy in their Empty case, MIA wins they fully deserve it and it will be an unbelievable story to knock out Mil/Bos/ And win it all .

    there was a late 4th quarter shot that he shot from way beyond the 3point line that killed our comeback! We kept catching up to them until he shot that circus shot ! This was game 4 .

    i say denver in 6

    miami likes to play small and we all saw what happened in game 1 of the WCF. jokic had no problem with AD so he's going to feast on bam. the only reason i think it goes 6 is because i don't think murray/KCP/MPJ will shoot as well as they did against the lakers, plus miami has some great 3 pt shooters and herro may be coming back too
