[MNLonghornFUKM 8916]

Wow miamis in the bonus 2.5 min into the 4th

[Kermit 3160]

Denver going full regard.

he's making plays all over the floor, on both sides + the glass. he bodied zeller for 70 feet on a left handed fast break and then deftly scored a tear drop over a triple team, plus the foul. to act like he's merely overpowering some jag is just inaccurate.

that stretch as 100% Joker on Zeller, who really should not be playing at all in the damn NBA finals.  He was shit at Charlotte and his court presence speaks to the lack of quality bigs in the league these days.  Fucking wasted a roster spot with him and Haslem when could have plucked some 6'11 250 guy from college

[Firemans4Horn 18302]

Butler is so clutch

[Firemans4Horn 18302]

Dumbass defense

[shadow_operative 15932]

what a stupid foul.

101-93 miami after being down 8 to start the 4Q.

[gofuckyourself 8676]

Oh. My.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8916]

Wow…MPJ was put on a poster. RIP

[Pam Cummings 9696]

Bam has been MVP for Miami so far

[shadow_operative 15932]

this game is over. color me shocked. Miami putting on a clinic in the 4Q.

[Fastbreak 3996]

The heat have a deal with the devil. It’s the only answer…

Denver defense has been terrible. But Miami plays smart, well-coached offense and if they're making their shots they are tough.

[Mitch Cumsteen 18655]

Miami zone really taking Denver out of rhythm. 

And Denver isn’t a great defensive team. They haven’t been all year. Miami shooting a crazy percentage but they’ve had open looks all night. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

back to back denver threes cuts it from 12 to 6. 

Butler immediately answers, obviously.

Holy shit what a game. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

BANG!!!

[Fastbreak 3996]

KCP has what 5 fouls and has given up 12 free throws. Is that a record?

[shadow_operative 15932]

imagine if denver had the two points that they lost on the goaltending non call.

[gofuckyourself 8676]

Oh shit. What an ending.

They still would have lost?

Still a horrendous missed call though.

how is that not a foul on Vincent?

[ztejas 43741]

What a win. Miami role guys outplayed DEN's.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8916]

Awesome. Haha

[Pam Cummings 9696]

What a game. Miami gets their split.

oh shit i'm like two minutes behind on my dvr lol. 

[Mitch Cumsteen 18655]

We got a series. Miami is tough as nails. 

I can’t believe they didn’t foul up 3. Got away with one. That Murray three was damn close. 

[Fastbreak 3996]

Miami got way more from the role players. The last shot was close

Great game from the heat

miami should not try to find minutes for tyler herro unless they find themselves down 3-1. don't mess with this team.

valid point, it changes the choices down the stretch.  Heat  have so much heart, wow, Miami HeaRt.

Secret sauce tonigt - Kevin Love with 10 boards in 22 minutes, 3 offensive (most of any player).  His physical presence stymies Joker's interior dominance against scrubs & midgets, only 11 boards.  

Wouldn't it be crazyballs if the Heat take 2 at home? Play KLove 20-25 and your chances increase dramatically. 

[Vic Mackey 47305]

Terrell Davis not pleased lol

yes, Herro would disrupt the chemistry. They are playing a coaches dream, brilliant execution , looking for each other.

My thought was maybe they didn't want to let Denver set up a play to get a clean look at a 3.

We might have a series on our hands. 

Spo is a genius they played so well on defense down the stretch with some zone mixed in. Cool to watch. 

Miami home crowd is pretty dope too and sometimes Butler will catch fire. Also another ball handler in Herro comes back

[MNLonghornFUKM 8916]

Wonder which douche bag Bam told off after his interview with salters was

[Chewbacca 7793]

They still would have lost?

They wouldn't have needed to shoot a 3. You think Jokic could score down low with 10 seconds left? I do.

Anyone looks like a genius when your team shoots 90% for the quarter.

I wanted to know too.  Lol.  
 

That type of D and shooting like that?  You’ll win a lot of games.  Refs gave a couple to Miami but nothing egregious.  This is going at least 6.  Love it.

and that missed call where Butler's foot was oOb on the pass , IIRC they made a 2 or 3.   So Denver was screwed out of 5-6 points in the difference. Nevertheless, Heat was on fucking fire, so much confidence, brilliant choices and execution.

Kevin Love started and I know they were talking up how good he was playing but I donno about his offense.

Did grab 10 boards though

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Heat culture. The zombie that wont die

There's a thousand coulda woulda shoulda calls throughout the game though man. Can't just point at one thing that happened and say that was much of a game changer

 Well, he didn’t. Denver shot themselves in the dick plenty this game.

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

Miami should play 6'10 Nikola Jovic instead of Zeller. 

[Mitch Cumsteen 18655]

this is remarkable.

Rough math: Counting playoffs over 5000 4th quarters counting both teams in each game?

And you put down the most efficient one at this point in time?
