I hope the Nuggets win it all. It's always good to see a first-time winner in US pro sports.
They have golden opportunity. MIA handled Boston, but they were terrible, and the Heat are shorthanded. Joker, Jamaal and their excellent supporting cast should be too much for Jimmy
@canefan don’t count out the Heat. Their shooting has been lights out and not just this series. Jimmy will be a headache for the Nuggets defence. Throw a cagey guy like KCP but Jimmy will back him down. Throw a Porter Jnr and Jimmy will outsmart him. Brown will be a good option.
Bam is a different sort of player to AD. Bam likes the ball in his hands and is more of a playmaking threat. That’s a different defensive assignment for Joker.
Hopefully the Heat get the business done tomorrow and both teams will be rested before the start of the Finals.

@ACT-Crusader It will be fun to see what Spols cooks up to try and slow down the Nuggets offensive juggernaut. Given the Nuggets are middle of the pack defensively it could be a very high scoring Finals.

Definitely won't count them out. They are well coached and well drilled
-
Celts pull one out of the bag. Much better defensive effort.
-
If the Celtics didn't review that foul would the officials have overturned the 2 point call?

-
Amazing finish!
-
Man I hope heat go ahead they have shown great resilience hell of a finish. Would have preferred it finishing with Jimmys free throws
-
There’s going to be some nervy players from both sides tomorrow. A buzzing Celtics crowd, a Heat team that is down on numbers, a desperate Jimmy and Tatum trying to not fall again.
Head says Celts. Heart wants the Heat.

Nick Nurse didn't have to wait long. He will have a good squad to work with, Embiid, young up and comer Maxey, and a bunch of good role players. Harden looks to be gone and I think they are better off without him
-
If you're the Celtics why would you supermax Jaylen Brown?
He has awful handles, awful basketball IQ and comes up small in big spots.
I just don't see it.
@KiwiMurph he certainly had a Harden-esque type performance tonight. TO city.
As for his contract situation, unless they can find him a home in the West there’s no way they are letting him go to another East contender unless they get significant assets in return.
-
Yesss. Heat back to the finals. More importantly we won’t have to watch anymore Celtics. Can’t stand their offence.

I admire the Heat. But I hope Denver win

Celtics have been in a difficult situation for years. They have a group of very good players, but none of them are what I would consider super duper stars. And that includes Tatum
-
Tatum is pretty elite although not my favorite player. Rough to say he isn't a super duper star. Was in MVP conversations throughout the year. Taken his team to a final and conference final and had some pretty big games during that time. Embid/harden/cp3 over the years with worse stats in playoffs then reg season.
I'm not buying his jersey but he's elite.
Brown is a tough one they are dammed if they sign him as then they have no cap. But of they don't and get nothing for him it makes it just as tough.
