What a bomb made by Jokic has got 41 points but still not enough with the 3-point lead win made by the Heat. The start of Heat was good and I think that Spo should always include Love there.

Now it's 1-1, when we thought that the Nuggets might sweep this series, it's different now. They will have to face a tough and hostile environment next game and the Heat has a good chance to get a win in their homecourt. Now, it's time for coach Malone to do the adjustments for the Nuggets.

Well, many have thought that this is going to be a sweep but not. We saw how Miami can really defeat the Nuggets and I think on game 3, the Nuggets are the ones that will have to adjust then.

It is good that Miami won game 2. Most of us thought that this will be a boring Finals series since the Nuggets are too much for the Heat. But Jimmy Butler and the rest of Miami showed us that they can compete with the top-seeded Denver Nuggets. I want to see what will be the adjustment of the Nuggets on their next game in Miami.

Nobody thought it would be 1-1 right? The early Q4 Miami made a remarkable adjustment and it looked surprising, but still Denver looked good to chase points but a few missed shots makes them behind and great finish from Miami to take advantage in game two, and games 3 and 4 will be at stake for Denver but they will again take the next game to regain the lead.

I guess Miami will be favored next game in their home now that they showed they can beat Denver. It will depend on what will be the adjustment on the side of Denver if they will take the lead again against Miami. But I think Miami will take the lead this since they have home-court advantage. I will still be betting on Denver though even if Miami gets the favorite on game 3.

A big shoutout to Coach Spo for the necessary adjustments. He's a brilliant coach. He's one for the books. Denver looks unbeatable from the outside, but Coach Spo makes them vulnerable.

Although the early lead by Miami was quick to have been erased by the Nuggets, everything turned out well for them in the end. Jokic proved to be once again a scoring machine, but he's very low in assists today. He's not functioning perfectly as a play maker, although he's once again showing how a giant can be a point guard.

Credits to Bam Adebayo and Gabe Vincent as well for a perfect play.

I feel like I'm happy that I was wrong assuming this game 2 will still be for the Nuggets. Now this is a finals game!

Yeah, kudos to Coach Spo. With all the team plays and adjustments on who's necessary to stop each of Nuggets players, he did really well.

Until the finals seconds of the game, I can say that all of them did well. Still the Nuggets also has done well and if that last shot was in, it might have been a different story and there's the OT but no, the Heat takes the game 2 and the sweep expectation from the Nuggets was just broken by the Heat.

Just a couple of minutes into the game but you can see that the Miami Heat have made a lot of adjustments which paid off for them to get an early lead. We’ll have to see how Denver adjusts to the new starting lineup and play style but I think they’ll probably be alright. Still, a good sign for the Miami Heat that they’re capable of getting out ahead.

Good win by the Heat, again just like how they did it against the Boston Celtics, it was a collective effort by the whole team and everyone contributed to both offense and defense. Bam Adebayo has one of his best games in this playoffs, although Jokic has big 41 points, but there are no triple double for him in this game.

Was that a holy shit game or what? Denver 1st home loss in the playoffs. Both teams led by more than 10 at 1 point in the game but Miami stayed focused and took game 2. WOW is all I can say.

Yeah I was going to say the same thing, it’s nice to see Miami having made some pretty sizable adjustments for this game, and hopefully something that will help make this a series.

I think it’s a testament to Erik Spoelstra and how good of a coach that he really is. regardless of how this all plays out, he’s proven himself and then some

This is definitely a closer game than the first one. It's halftime now and the lead of Denver is down to 6, but it seems Miami is always the struggling team. Even during those minutes in the second quarter when Denver is Jokic-free, Miami still couldn't minimize the lead. The Nuggets are still scoring.

This game 2 is probably still Denver's. I'll just wait for the Heat to have the homecourt advantage. Perhaps a + handicap for them will be worth betting on. Denver is really the more dominating team. They will probably remain the favorite even after changing courts.

It is very impressive to see Heat doing this great this season even in the absence of one of their most important players who is Tyler Herro. That is a big dedication example by them. They started the final series 1-0 behind against Nuggets maybe but I don't think this series will be easy for Nuggets either. I hope to see 7 games which would be lovely to watch.

There is less than an hour left for Game 2 to start. Caleb Martin's condition is still questionable. His score contribution has also been valuable for Heat. It feels like Nuggets will get another win home.

They might don't see the whole potential of their undrafted player if Hero is available on the rooster since for sure if he's available the minutes of those guys will be lessen and might they will not reach that far if they didn't maximize their potential. But the problem now is how they can maximize their rooster against Nuggets knowing that they are mismatch in height, also with defense and offense. Maybe this is big problem need to solve by their coach since if they didn't find ways to counter eat maybe they will be sweep by Nuggets just like what they did to Lakers.

Doc Rivers was already fired by Philadelphia earlier which already picked former Toronto coach, Nick Nurse as the replacement. I doubt Joel Embiid will want a trade. The rumors circulating are probably due to the past exchange of words between Nurse and Embiid. But these days, superstars will have a say on the team coach so I assume Embiid is okay with Nurse and both of them are already in good relations. Maybe a Gobert-Ayton trade is doable.

Monty Williams is already with the Pistons. Still, 3 championship teams are looking for a coach, Milwaukee Bucks, Boston Celtics, and Phoenix Suns. Very exciting and intriguing.

Well, Joel Embiid has a good relationship with Doc Rivers and by firing River Joel Embiid might want a trade, I think this is what the rumors are saying, but as I have said this is just rumors but what if Embiid really wants a trade, well we will see what may happen in the next season, surely they will get some NBA picks, and it could be a good window of opportunity to trade-off and that is if he really like to,

My picks for the game today are,

Denver Nuggets VS Miami Heat

The Denver Nuggets will be having a game with the Miami Heat at the Ball Arena on their 2nd game for the Finals right now there are no key injuries for the Nuggets while the Key injury for the Miami Heat is Tyler Herro (hand) and is out and can not play for the Miami Heat, it is not really looking good for the Miami heat moving forward into the finals if they can not likely find a chance in getting this around the Denver Nuggets then they will be in the same shoes as the Boston Celtics that they beat last Semi,

It was previously reported that Herro would return in game 3, but if that has changed and he will be back due to urgency, then we still have to carefully analyze his performance as it will be his first game after getting injured in the playoffs. We don't know what kind of game he can have and how it will affect the team. Honestly, I don't expect much even if he does return. What I would like to see is Jimmy being Jimmy, a superstar who can drop an average of 30+ points like he did against the Bucks.

I do not expect too much since it is his first game coming from an injury, but he is still a vital player for the Miami Heat. If he hits his outside shoots, he can disrupt the defense of the Nuggets, leading Jimmy to attack the paint more.

Another concern for Miami is that Caled Martin is listed as questionable in today's game. It is reported that he missed practice due to illness. He might not play for Miami today. He did not contribute well in Game 1 with a measly 3 points, and 4 rebounds in 25 minutes of game time. But he is averaging 13.5 points and 5.6 rebounds in the postseason. His performance will be missed if he ends up not playing tonight.

Splash brother era is already over since most of the players now can shoot accurate 3 pointers.

They are already at the end tail of their career. Steph is 35 and Klay is 33 with injury. They had a good run and dominated for almost a decade. They can still be competitive, but it is time that the young stars of Golden State to take over.

It's been an interesting match so far. The Denver Nuggets have really impressed this season. If you win 4-0 in the semi-finals, that also says something. And in the first game of the final they won very easily, we can say. The fact that the game was in Denver was of course a big advantage. Basketball is a sport in which the audience at home can be extremely important because almost the entire stadium is full of home supporters. It is also remarkable that there are almost never problems between the supporters. They should take that as an example in other sports.

They are truly impressive. The Denver Nuggets as the first seed in the season with 53 wins and just 29 losses while most of them are Jokic-less whenever he tries to rest or the management not letting him play to avoid unexpected injuries.
Regarding the homecourt advantage, I don't want to underestimate the Miami Heat because they are also good on the road. Their two stolen wins can from the TD Garden of Boston Celtics which was actually shocking, this is why I don't want to go as far as -9 when it comes to betting for the Nuggets. I mean, the chances of the Nuggets winning are high, but covering the spread will be difficult because the Heat doesn't give up easily, especially on the defensive end.

Game 2 later, we will see if the Nuggets can perfect it at their home before they go on the road to Miami. They cannot give up one game here to avoid a rough road ahead with their confidence being broken. To the gamblers here, good luck.

I recently saw a documentary on Netflix about the NBA competition and how the stars had all the trouble in the world to qualify for the Olympic Games in the years from 2002 to 2008. In the end, under the influence of Kobe Bryant, the To lead Americans to the title at the Olympic games in 2008. This competition was so strong for a while that it was not allowed to let players from the NBA compete for America at the Olympic games. Isn't it actually the opposite of a form of competition falsification?

Today is the only chance for Heat to keep their hopes up, if the series goes to 2-0 it's over mentally. They have to play extraordinary today. If they shoot bricks again behind the three then they have no chance. Martin, Robinson and Strus were unrecognizable in the first game. They can't rely on threes only. They should score from the paint and go to the free throw line more often. Heat gave up early in that game, they can't do that again. Nuggets rested well, now they are focused on winning the title and they know this is the most important game of the series. My money would be on Nuggets though.

Money towards the Nuggets is definitely a wise thing to do as in every angle we try to see, it is always the Nuggets who have the higher hand but considering that their ML is low, you need to have some handicap so that your profits are somehow higher compared to the money line. Besides, the Finals should be more fun and entertaining if both teams are competing fair with each other but I'm afraid that in this case, it will be too much too ask.

Regarding about that, I will try to bet during live games to enhance my chances and I'm certain enough that it would be the Nuggets who will take the win in the 2nd game. But we will see what will happen in the first quarter though.

Yes, I do agree that this is a crucial game for the Heat. They haven't been in a situation like this before, in all of their series, they usually take game 1 and win. But this is very different situation now, if they lost then 2-0 going back to their home court and then all the pressures will be on their shoulders.
They will have to find a way to score in the paint, go to the free throw line. They shouldn't allow the Nuggets to control the game from the very beginning and then they do the catch-up. Jimmy will have to score and be their main offensive man in the first half.

The Miami Heat definitely needs to win this game and make it 1-1. Otherwise, if the Nuggets go up by 2 games and it is going to be very hard for the Miami Heat to actually make a comeback. Considering the fact that the Nuggets are actually stronger on paper compared to Miami Heat, I believe Miami Heat is not going to give them any chance to win the second game. Miami Heat should be the aggressive one in this game. They should not let the Nuggets go ahead because if Miami Heat is interested in playing catch up they are not going to succeed in my opinion.

Even without Nikola Jokic, Denver Nugget scores very easily and the other players do not have trouble scoring. Solid defense by Nikolo Jokic is more important for the team right now. Jokic's defense is not missing anything more valuable than his score, anyway, scoring points is for Denver right now. I can say that Denvar Nugget is still solid and comfortable in the top five. Forwards Bruce Brown, Michael Porter score well, both defensively is very well. Jimmy Butler said that Nikola Jokic was a good defender. I think he may be underestimating his other abilities because he can't score much, he is a player who plays according to his team according to his place, but I can say that he is a complete player for Jokic.

Yes, the early part of the should be a competition and not just allow Nuggets to over dominate them, the thing in game1
they allow the core players of Nuggets to establish the confidence.

If they will let that happen again without any competitions, Nugget will just do it again and again. They need to adjust and not to throw the ball.

Heat needs the best performances to everyone in trying to tie the series, else the chance that they might be swept is possible.
