Butler's defense on Murray was really good, it helped having Love in the game so Butler could focus on Murray defensively.
Murray started slow and although he had his moments, I thought Butler was fantastic when guarding him.

| Now the pressure is on Denver. Let's go Miami. Take both home games. |

Draymond's prophecy comes true again. Can't let him have both. Scored 41 points but limited his assists |

Butler's just not moving right. He gave up that easy three to Murray in the clutch and had careless turnovers. My hope is he uses those days to heal and rehabilitate his ankle. Probably still swollen.

I caught the end of the game, I'm honestly surprised they didn't play him toward the end |

I stopped posting because I knew the Nuggets were going to go on another run. And, they did.
Just tremendous credit to the Heat. Role players stepping up and great coaching. I thought they weren't going to get swept. But, it's really good for them that they took 1 on the road where the Nuggets have looked unstoppable so far.
Let Jokic cook. You're not stopping him regardless.
A lot easier said than done because of his passing ability, but it worked and the got a win on the road on a bad Jimmy Butler game. |

Pretty much man. The defense was there. The setup was there. The series was lost in game 2 when Lebron decided to jack up 3 after 3. I think that told everyone their value is meaningless next to him. Dlo just checked out afterwards.

Riley Spoelstra Haslem Butler Bam
I need to hear some Spoelstra halftime talks or pre game for some mojo enhancement 
I was confident they would not let their foot off the gas on either side of the court until 0000
They have such a strong togetherness toughness.. I even imagined how well they must train themselves to avoid all distractions on and off the court.. they have been here before and they know how high the mountain was to get this far and are certainly not going to be giving up even if Haslem has to suit up  |

| Was a team effort to beat Denver in game 2. Look at the points distribution for the Miami players. Everyone got in on the scoring. |

I will bet Heat Culture is one of the best places for him to be. Depressed?.. (bleep) That they will send 8 players over to cheer you up.   |

Having a good coach helps to play that type of defense. Throwing the zone at Denver, blitzing Murray so he couldn't go off, giving Love some minutes. But gotta credit players and coaching staff for the team that plays hard and doesn't quit.

Lakers would’ve won regardless if dlo just had a good series. All we needed was 12+ points from him. I personally believe in the butterfly effect so gabe could’ve been shut down by Bruce too. Everybody plays different with different players. |

The Heat are doing this with their 2nd leading scorer Tyler Herro, who averaged 20+ ppg, not even playing.
I don’t think I can recall a coaching getting more out of a group than Larry Brown got out of the 2001 76ers |

Those 2001 Sixers team wasnt that good. The eastern conference was awful in those early 2000's.
Anyways, Miami just has the heart and the coaching. In my eyes, Denver is the better team but my heart says Miami. |

| Lowry just explained it was an important coaching move in Game 2 to change up the starting lineup by bringing in Love for size. Did not know a coach was allowed to do that before Game 4. |

| Is Spo tricking them with the word "Schematics" saying he thinks they are robotic or too rigid/predictable in rotations subs? Trying to get them to switch up what has always been working? |
