This one is going to be hyped considering first game in Miami in the series. I expect the team to play hard, like they always do. They just need the shots to fall. Let's go HEAT!
Every game in this series will be completely different. If the Heat can jump out to an early lead and the crowd gets into it, I don't know how much pressure the Nuggets will be able to handle. Remember, Denver has had a relatively easy time of it until now. The question is: how will they perform under pressure? We already know how the Heat team handles pressure.
Lots of media outlets are putting the onus on MPJ to get more active and be aggressive and take more shots. If those shots are contested and off the bounce rather than an assist (from joker) ... we'll take those all day!!! ... Joker is around 60%+ in FG% ... MPJ is in the low 40% in this postseason ... love Coach Spo's gameplan
I called that one before this series even started. MPJ is a talented but low energy player making a 9-figure salary, that dude is fresh meat for this heat squad
I recently went to NBA.com and found the infamous "hustle stats". Heat are top-3 in everything, and usually #1. Golden State averaged more "screen assists" (Heat were second) and Boston had more "contested shots" (Heat were second). Otherwise, the Celtics were usually 2nd place to the Heat, and Denver was usually around 5th or 6th.
I've been saying it for the last two rounds, the team that deflects more passes, hustles for more loose ball rebounds, and dives after more loose balls will win this game. Based on the way Games 1 & 2 went, I like our odds
2 days rest and home court so here's hoping Jimmy has that game. But more than anything else a W is much, much better. Go Heat!!!!

GO HEAT!!!
I'm predicting one of either MPJ or KCP to literally piss their pants
Heat eats pressure as a dessert
Good luck. I will enjoy the game, any result is ok.

We haven't yet seen the best of Jimmy in these first two games. If Jimmy comes out in full force, look out.
