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.

I might have a slight different perspective to the game generally, The Nuggets were the better team obviously, individually and collectively as team, but It wasn't the Denver Nuggets defense that kept the Miami Heat at bay, but rather a really poor shooting night, while The Heat might have been force to take a number 3s, the missed way too much of them and even open mid range jump shots, Max Struss 0/9, Caleb Martin 1/7 and Jimmy Butler with only 14 shot attempts showed how disoriented the Miami Heat really were, The attempted at least 17 more shots than the Nugget and at least 12 more 3s too, but had only 2 FT attempt, that showed how unaggressive the Heat also were, they'll need to take the game to Denver aggressive and not just settle for the most open shots but rather the most likely to score ones instead.
Yeah, I do agree with your perception, not sure if this is the strategy of the Heat's team, to out shoot the Denver Nuggets, to somehow offset their height and to a certain extend their speed and their youth.

And perhaps they think that they can continue with the hot shooting they show in the last game against the Celtics. Everyone his hitting big shots that time, Struss and everyone. But it's a different story against the Nuggets in the first game, not only they shot poorly, but they also allow Jokic to post and involved his team. And then Aaron Gordon trying to be his prime version when he was still with Minnesota.

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.

And as expected by everyone, the Nuggets takes game 1 very easy if I may say that. And as I have said in my prediction, it's a blow out win, double digit lead advantage. Aaron Gordon was the X-factor in this first game and it seems he is enjoying the matchup whether defense or offense that the Heat is putting up on him. The last time the Nuggets lost, it takes a combine Booker and Durant to have a perfect night and beat them. I don't see anyone on Heat's caliber though, although it might take like Butler and Bam to really contribute big in their offense to offset the Nuggets in this series.

Butler and Bam were trying to lift the team, but it was the off-night shooting performances of the rest of the team.

they've been outscored by the Nuggets, that tight defense really bring that big impact to the outcome of the game, Nuggets fans
surely enjoy what they've seen from all the players who step inside the court. They provide what the team needs and give enough
rest for the core players and continue that great performances.

As far as I can tell about what happened in Game 1, only Bam have tried to lift the team because I don't know what happened with Butler. He seems to be tired about the recent series they've finished because instead of being the one who always try to penetrate the paint, I didn't see that much of Butler and his stats are actually much lower compared to his last 10 games. Fatigue might be a factor but who knows.

Yes, just one of those off nights perhaps, and surprisingly Bam has success early but it wasn't sustainable though as the Nuggets is pouring everything on the Heat's team. And then bad shooting night, Max Strus - 0 point, Caleb Martin - 3 points, same with Duncan Robinson. Those two are very important part of the team and yet they shoot poorly as compare to their game 7 win on the road against the Celtics.

So there are too many intangibles, lost my bet on this game 1 as I laid the line on the Heat to win.

Anyways, we will see what kind of adjustments coach Spo will give us in game 2, while they continue to rely on their outside shooting to offset the solid defense by the Nuggets inside? Or play deliberate and used the zone?

Speaking of my bet, here's mine.
Miami Heat -8.5 @ 2.01 + ML @ 4.2 vs Denver Nuggets
Just to avoid confusion I think the "-" is a "+" @2.01. Maybe @mirakal just made a mistake.  Wink

Yes, thank you. My bad and sorry for the confusion, I was surprised too when I saw that I have put a negative sign (-) when my real bet was a +8.5 Cheesy

It was a tough loss for the Heat for sure because they did not expected this at all, I mean about their performance that it would be this different as they are literally chasing the Nuggets for the whole duration of the game and if I recall it correctly, the Miami Heat did not even have a single lead all throughout the game which is another heartbreaking for them.

Anyway, congrats to all who bettors who rode with the Nuggets.

Butler is having a hard time to penetrate the defense of Nuggets since most of the players of Nuggets is very tall. You will notice his hesitation when he is already on the inside because he keeps passing outside without any intention to shot.

Adebayo just highlighted on this game because most of his teammates can’t attack aggressively the line up of Nuggets. I don’t know exactly how Heat will resolve the issue about the height difference but Adebayo is already occupied on guarding Jokic while he is the only one capable on defending the paint with the height advantage of Nuggets.

Decision-wise, the Denver Nuggets indeed got more chances to win in the first game hence why their odds is that low compared to the Heat. Even the bookies know the real chances of the Heat and it is not that great after all, that is why they are giving a tempting odds of 4.00

That said, I think I will just go under for now because the odds is somehow profitable for me while the chances is also good as I think it will be a close game with both teams on defensive mode. I'd be putting for the Denver but that 1.27 is not that much for me.

Regarding about Tyler Herro, his status has been changed because he is now likely to return in Game 2. We'll be seeing that one for sure.

And the Denver Nuggets won game 1 indeed it was a tight one but the lead stayed with the Nuggets from the beginning to the end of the game the Miami Heat is scoring the paint because of Bam Adebayo, if you have gone with the Nuggets I think you also got the win from them,

And regarding Tyler Hero, he will be available on game 2 because his expected return from the Miami Heat is June 4, so he can now play game 2 we got 2 days rest going towards game 2 then another 2 days rest going into game 3 I think this is a great opportunity for the Miami Heat to rest,



here is the result of my pick for today's game

Denver Nuggets VS Miami Heat SCORE 104 - 93 - WIN

From start to finish the Denver Nuggets' advantage was very viewable for this game Jimmy Butler defended and stop his points with just 13, points while Bam Adebayo and Gabe Vincent did a great job but surely it was not enough, Aaron Gordon got 16 points, Jamal Murray has a double-double of 10 assist and 26 points, and Nikola Jokic has a triple-double of 10 rebounds 14 assist 27 points for this game, the Miami Heat needs to prevent this winning of the Nuggets or else this will be crucial for them to take that deficit like the Boston Celtics did,





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.

Denver Nuggets easily won this match. Miami focus on Jokic in first half and he just had some crazy passes and was already up 10 assists just in first two quarters. In game 2 im expecting a little closer game but still a win for the Nuggets. This duo is so deadly once their both are hot its o most game over for everyteam.

Don't bet on basketball that often, but since this time it's the final it wouldn't be wrong to try a bet, just one bet on Jokic over 23.5 odds @1.89. It looks like that won't happen because until Q3 he still scored quite a few points, but in Q4 he was able to score more points and even became the top point scorer for his team in this first game. I think game two will still be a bet on him coming back and in game two the Nuggets are going to dominate the game again unless the Heat makes a significant change.

Those were actually good numbers.  I might throw a rebounding prop on jokic next game.  Odds aren't good enough to bet Denver and the over/under will be a mystery this whole series.  Jokic touch rare is so high that it's almost a given he will either hit his props on pts, rbs assists or a combination of all of them.  I missed with the over last night.

Yeah, so congratulations to the bettors who took the risk at -10.5. Nice catch there.
Aaron Gordon was damn aggressive in the first half, I guess he want that championship so bad because he had been in the league for a long time but now he is on a team that could possibly take in just 3 more games to win.
Jamal Murray was also phenomenal as most of his perimeter shots are going in. That's the Jamal we missed for 2 years after that knee injury.
Miami Heat on the other hand found their offense thru Highsmith but Butler really needs to come out if they want to win games on the road, I almost mistakenly assumed that he was injured because I cannot feel his presence.

Anyway, 1/2 for my single bets but I am happier with this bet builder that I won.
