NBA FINALS - PART 3
Two games deep, high altitude conspiracies and one win each. This years NBA Finals is looking really good, as Miami came out aggressive and took an early lead, they really showed that they're not your average 8th seed. Not at all. And it's not only Playoff Jimmy, it's their whole DNA.
To be honest, I thought it would be a 4-1 win for Denver after Game 1. Denver just looked like they're so much deeper and bigger as a team. But Miami has one thing you can't ignore, they got a whole team full of players who been overlooked plenty of times already, and they're here to prove everyone wrong. Including myself.
Duncan Robinson. That's one guy who's really up for the challenge, he went 1-6 for 3 points in Game 1 and then he turned it on when needed last game as he went 4-5 for 10 points. Ok, it's not 41 points like Jokic dropped, but those 10 points were key. All 10. Butler and Adebayo had 21 each, and Gabe Vincent finished with 23.
What was the biggest difference from Game 1 was that Miami made Jokic a scorer, and even tho he scored a series high of 41 points, it did change the flow. The so called supporting cast of Murray, Gordon and Porter Jr couldn't get in the same rhythm, and they to get back to Jokic facilitating for others rather than score in the 40's.
And just like LeBron, the NBA Finals will take its talent to South Beach for Game 3. And even tho I'm not the biggest Tyler Herro fan, I rather have him on the court than on the sidelines. Not only because of his fashion decisions, but I want the full squads to battle it out, and before the series they said he was aiming to come back for Game 3, and it would give Miami one more weapon. But from the last update it seems unlikely that he's suiting up tonight.
The pressure is on Denver to steal back home court advantage. I think Miami wins tonight just because I want this to go 7.
