Knowing Erik Spoistra, one would expect Miami to play much better in the second game, but I must admit that the result of the game is a big surprise for me. Another thing is that Joker could not count on the support of partners in this match as in the first match, hence he focused more on scoring points than assisting his colleagues. Miami's close to 50% 3pt field goals is unlikely to happen again in these Finals either.

I was favouring Nuggets for this game honestly. I thought a scenario like this:

- Nuggets make the series 2-0 first.
- Then Heat make it 2-2.
- After that we would see a 3-2 and 3-3.
- At the end we would see Nuggets winning the series by 4-3 and winning their first ever championship also.

But Heat surprised me by winning Game 2 by only a 3-point gap. There wasn't actually a very impressive individual performance at Heat side. But there was when it comes to Nuggets. Jokic really did his best - 41 pts, 11 reb. This guy definitely deserves a championship because of his high effort throughout the season so far.

I was glad to win my bet for the evening, which was the Miami Heat + 10.5. I was a bit surprised that the Heat actually won. It was clear they were trying some new things out on offense and it worked out for them to get them the win and even up the series as they head back to Miami. Definitely makes things more interesting.

Strus, who was scoreless in game 1, stepped up and scored 14 points in this game. It was his 3-point shooting in the 1st quarter that gave the Heat the energy they needed to win the game. Gabe Vincent was also exceptional, contributing 23 points. Maybe in the next game, Martin will wake up and have an MVP-worthy performance. Imagine if all three of them have decent performances.

In game 3, the Heat are slight favorites, and I think they'll be ahead in the series after game 3.

Let's see about that but I do think there is a good chance because they are now approaching towards Miami for the games 3 and 4.

I'm a Heat fan but I cannot just disregard the Nuggets for being exceptional and unpredictable in the playoffs too as they also had a good run before they arrived in the Finals, just like what the Heat did. I surely hope that the Heat can somehow duplicate the performance they did last night where they overcame the Nuggets, finally.

Great job, in getting the underdog, I was really not expecting that to happen because the Denver Nuggets was really that great of a team for sweeping the Los Angeles Lakers but the Miami Heat have brought the unexpected to be a reality, Jimmy Butler's words have inspired the team in doing what is best and by looking at their defense they are doing a zone defense and letting Nikola Jokic the one to let him shoot the ball, while the other players of the Nuggets will always be in a double team, I think this will surely seal the Joker in creating a play,

Congratulations to those who won the bet in this second game, it was a surprise but it became fun so the next games will be even more exciting to look forward to, bets on the money line on Denver is no longer a guarantee of profit so the third game the odds for Denver will be better, I hope so.
Bet when the game is running, over 30.5 on Jokic @1.91 and Over 106.5 on Denver @1.83, and thought the second bet would lose as Denver had a dip in points scoring in Q4 but it ended up all green.

This is really an exciting final in my opinion, and you are right I was really excited I want to watch the next game now but unfortunately they need a break and the next game will be on June 08, I am excited in what play the Denver Nuggets will answer the Miami Heat in their next game and if they can stop or penetrate the zone defense of the Miami Heat,

The adjustment that I could see is for Jimmy Butler to trust his teammates. He doesn't need to be on guard with Jamal Murray, stick with Gordon because no Heat player had stopped him in Game 1 from being aggressive beneath the paint. Let Caleb Martin take care of Murray one-on-one and Butler should help in faking a double team against Jokic just to confuse their play.
Every detail of the game will be crucial here for the Miami Heat, small things can be big in the long run, creating stops and converting it will matter somewhere in the 4th quarter. Every little detail that can be fixed should be done early. Denver Nuggets will not joke around although they have the Joker. Grin
Jimmy Butler should know what to do because he already faced one of the elite teams the Lakers in the Finals bubble.
The question is when do Finals Jimmy Buckets will come out? He didn't touch the Conference Champion Trophy for a reason, he wants the bigger one but it won't happen if he will not give his all.

I am going for Denver Nuggets -8.5.
Good luck everyone.

I was surprised by the adjustment of the Miami Heat and how they managed to win against the Denver Nuggets is just amazing Erik Spoelstra really did something great with the gameplay of the Miami Heat, the Zone defense was very effective for the Nuggets and they surely let Nikola Jokic be the one man Scoring but they didn't let him make crucial Passes so instead of being the playmaker Jokic is a 1 man Scorer Scoring 41 points while his teammates didn't make more than 20 points for this game the and so the Miami Heat have sealed the Denver Nuggets, other players while the Miami Heat have managed to make a great play for game 2,


I have my doubts about that. I believe the spread will not change for the Nuggets, and they will still be favored by at least -8 points at home. We've seen a similar situation with the Boston Celtics when they were down 3-1 in game 5, yet they remained heavy favorites. The Heat, despite being considered underdogs by the public, have consistently defied the odds by winning games that people thought they couldn't. So, in all honesty, I believe the most profitable bet here would be to wager on Miami on the road, especially considering the attractive moneyline odds.

Well, I think you are right, I was never a fan of these two teams and I want to bet to win that could be a great time to get my bet on the team that is an underdog for this game, If the Miami Heat remain as the underdog for game 3 because of their great performance I will surely wager for them, but if the Nuggets would be the underdog for game 3 I will wager my bet for the Denver Nuggets I guess the Nuggets will surely have an answer for the next game, but will surely bet whoever the underdog would be,

Result of my pick today,

Denver Nuggets VS Miami Heat SCORE 108 - 111 - LOST

Now, we could expect lesser spreads than the first 2 games even if this series goes back to Denver. I don't really like the -8 to -10 options, I was just forced to take it as the money line is not really that profitable.  Cheesy
Suddenly, the game became unpredictable because of what happened tonight. What do you guys predict on Game 3? Are the Nuggets stealing one or the Miami protecting their home? It's not that easy to analyze it anymore.

He sure did. Max Struss first was damn good for the Miami Heat because whenever the Nuggets took the lead, they have a hard time tying it up. Now they started better and although the Nuggets gained the lead, they got the momentum back thanks to Duncan Robinson. Every piece of the Miami Heat roster must have this type of game, especially at their home to win the championship.

I lost my bet but it was definitely an entertaining one. Now, we could expect lesser spreads than the first 2 games even if this series goes back to Denver. I don't really like the -8 to -10 options, I was just forced to take it as the money line is not really that profitable.  Cheesy

Miami Heat just proved again that eliminated the first top seeded teams in the Eastern Conference and those two teams also being the teams with best record for the regular season,  I mean Milwaukee Buck and the Boston Celtics wasn't a fluke, they were just that good and deserved their winning.

They were a completely different team today, but then even though being unable to stop Nikola Jokic completely they did a huge load of work to restrict he's general impact, Kelvin Love was an influential addition to the line up, he did lift some duty off Bam Adebayo's shoulder and Bam was just as impressive as he was in the first game, Gabe Vincent continuing to join Bam in race to be a potential MVP candidate (IMO), while Max Struss was also able to find some rhythm for himself early into the game too.

And finally for me, I got to hit a betbuilder on some Player Props and lines, it's been a while for me to be honest, there have always been one sucker that doesn't get to play the entire usually minute either due to foul or a blowout scenario, it was a close call tonight too because Jokic almost fell short off the 11th rebound.

Jokic 40+ PRA / MPJ 15+ PR / KCP 1+ 3pts / Nuggets ML @1.75
I like this bro, I am going to tail it.  Wink


That royal duo is the worst thing for Miami because they need to guard outside and inside the basket in short they must have a good defender from inner cause once Jokic has the ball he can totally make a points in an easy way because there's not enough guard from the inner. And if we talk about outside shot then jamal murray can handle it and he can make a good shot.
If in game 2 Miami can't find the answer on how they will defend murray and jokic then for sure loss are weaving.

It was really their weakness I really don't know what adjustment the Miami Heat will do to stop these two, Jamal Murray is effective in both the paint and shooting in the deep, while Nikola Jokic was also effective in both the deep and mostly offensive and defensive inside the paint, and with those assists, I really don't see the Miami Heat having any solution from those plays for now, but Jimmy Butler has said that they only need to be active towards the game,

My pick for today's game

Denver Nuggets VS Miami Heat

The stake odds for this game are 1.29 for the Nuggets and 3.75 for the Heat, for this game the Nuggets are leading the Finals against the Heat, No injuries for the Denver Nuggets so far, while Tyler Herro can not play for the Miami Heat, for this game the Miami Heat would likely need to adjust with their gameplay and always be active in getting the ball if they do I think they can manage to outplay the Nuggets but it is really a hard play to do such a thing, so for my pick, I am going with the Denver Nuggets,

Jokic 40+ PRA / MPJ 15+ PR / KCP 1+ 3pts / Nuggets ML @1.75  X

I'm still salty about Strus going 0/9 from 3 in Game 1, so many open shots bricked, it would've been a clean sweep for me if he had made one.

---

Jokic played decoy in that opening quarter and still finished the game with 50+ PRA. He's averaging well over 50 PRA for the entire postseason, hitting 40+ PRA in 14/L16...can't see him slowing down anytime soon.

MPJ has hit 15+ PR in his last nine games, Heat starting Love instead Martin only helps him. I expect a positive regression from deep, 2/11, he's better than that.

KCP has hit 1+ 3pts in 7 consecutive games and 13/L16. As i've said before, he's going to get good looks, not worried about him one bit.

I did believe that Heat actually have a chance but after first game...Denver are really a class above them in this series and on Sunday night , I think the score will be 2-0 but I do see Heat taking at least 2 games until the end.

Also, if somehow Jokic will be guarded which is almost impossible and Murray won't have a big day , Heat might get this to game 7 and that would boom the odds all over again  Grin Grin
We witnessed the offensive difference between the two especially with the firepower they have and I do believe the Denver Nuggets will still win in Game 2, without any doubt. That +10.5 for the Miami Heat might stick around and even at their home in Game 3, expect them to be the underdog. All we can do is predict the right amount of lead the Nuggets will have to win our bets.

If Jokic is doubled someone will be opened and lucky are the Nuggets because they have an unselfish and good passer big man that will kick it out to the open man of the floor. Murray can do his one-on-one match with the number of arsenals that he has. The threats are KCP and MPJ, if these two start to get hot it will be over for the Miami Heat.

So what do you think guys? Nuggets again in Game 2? How about the spreads? How much will you take considering all -10.5 have won their bets in Game 1?

I still don't think the Heat are going to win more than one game this series and that's if they can manage to steal one.  I also think they have a tendency to keep games close when it comes down to the wire.  So with a 10.5 point spread, I'm taking the Heat with the spread for game 2.  I still think they're going to lose to the Nuggets, but I think they'll probably manage to chip away at whatever lead the Nuggets have down the stretch to manage to lose by only a few points.  Betting Denver to win just isn't worth it as far as risk/reward and that spread is too big to bet against.

Yeah, let's see, I'll probably go with the Heat at +7.5, still good odds at 2.01 currently. I'm seeing a hard fought game, not the same as game 1 as the Heat will have to adjust. So Jimmy will have to come out blazing and not allow the Nuggets to be comfortable again in the first 2 quarters.

If the Heat can manage to play defense and not allow 30 points or more in the first quarter, I think they will have a good chance to win.

But in any case the Denver team wins again, the score might be close that's why I think +7.5 might be a good bet for me.

It's hard not to imagine that the Miami Heat will not adjust to what needed to do, Strus and Vincent should have some adjustment by attacking either in the paint or beyond the arc. They are saying that the lights are too bright but let's see if that is really the case as I don't think that their performance will be the same. I'm saying both lower or higher than what they have played in Game 1. Also, Jimmy Butler should penetrate more in the rim as in the 1st game, he is having some doubts in attacking the rim.

The same point of view when it comes to the Miami Heat winning games, I don't think they have enough firepower to do so. Unless they will play hardcore defense that would rattle the Nuggets' plays.
Jimmy Butler is where it should start. His series against the Boston Celtics was phenomenal and he make a high amount of steals. In Game 1 of that series, he made 6 steals, 3 in Game 2, and another 3 in game 6. Every time he plays like a monster on the defensive end, the whole team starts to be like him, he is contagious and he has the power to bring out the best in his teammates as long as he is also playing better.
This will be a rough road for them as the Nuggets is one of the best offensive teams in the league. If the Celtics have Tatum and Brown this Nuggets team has the entire roster who can play better once they came out from the bench.

They had that run in game 1 that shows promise that they can catch up to the Nuggets. I think they cannot win more than one game in the series. Maybe 2, I am definitely sure the Finals will not go to game 7. The Nuggets are too strong on their home, so I doubt the Heat will be able to win on the road. But they can definitely win on their home. It depends on coach Spoelstra on how he can limit Jokic. Miami is a defensive team, maybe they can find a way that will limit Jokic and force turnovers.

Don't worry about that; they'll make adjustments in Game 2. There's no way they'll come out as flat as they did in Game 1. Let's expect a major adjustment, and it's unlikely that the Heat will shoot poorly from the three-point line again, considering their great percentage in the postseason. The undrafted players aren't performing as they used to, especially in terms of their contributions. So, let's hope that Martin and Struss will have a decent game in Game 2.

I am sure they will make adjustments, but the Nuggets are just too strong in their home. I doubt the Heat will be able to win. They have been impressive the entire post-season, but so is the Nuggets. I do not think the Nuggets have lost in their home this postseason.



Here is my bet.



Money line is probably the right bet.  -10.5 might be too much given the low scoring games that the Heat play.  No way could you lay on Miami the way they played last game.  I'm gonna stuck with some jokic props.  Taking pts, rbs, and assists all over whatever it is lol.  His ball usage is crazy.

I still don't think the Heat are going to win more than one game this series and that's if they can manage to steal one.  I also think they have a tendency to keep games close when it comes down to the wire.  So with a 10.5 point spread, I'm taking the Heat with the spread for game 2.  I still think they're going to lose to the Nuggets, but I think they'll probably manage to chip away at whatever lead the Nuggets have down the stretch to manage to lose by only a few points.  Betting Denver to win just isn't worth it as far as risk/reward and that spread is too big to bet against.
