don't forget the three free throws they gifted Jokic, when Bam didn't touch him. Plenty of bad call both ways.
Game one was one sided on the personal fouls
15 on Miami, 8 on Denver - including not giving Miami a clear path, when it obviously was.
Game 2
22 on Miami 21 on Denver.
Game two wasn't officiated well, but it was closer to "even" than game one. If the Nuggets only lost because of an evenly officiated game, what do we say about game one?
Also I'd point out that after 2 games, Denver is +20 on free throws.
+18 game 1
+2 game 2
Hard to feel like Miami was clear beneficiary of officiating when the other team had fewer fouls and more free throws (which Denver did in game 1 and 2).
Calls on Denver weren’t called either. As you say, who cares? It wasn’t called. Butler stepping out of bounds wasn’t either. Jokic travel on his coast to coast bucket wasn’t either.
So were others. It’s called basketball. You get some calls you didn’t deserve. They get calls they didn’t deserve. I’m glad refs didn’t review or there wasn’t a challenge. But it was only obvious on the slo-mo replay.
credit to coach Spo for the adjustments. hoping Heat are turning over from the shooting slump the past games (except that gm7 win). 48% on 3s!! Joker 41pts but just 4ast and Miami shut down the other Nuggets and still below their pts ave. we can breath easily going back at home. more oxygen can mean more for aging Jimmy. also thank you Gabe! keep it up!
Heat- Bam was really good. Hopefully he doesn’t play like that all series. Butler has a scary game still in him. They play with an intensity that we apparently didn’t care to meet tonight. Got me nervous.
Nuggets – Jokic is perfect except he is missing the intimidation factor. His humility and attitude keep the hopes of the opposition alive. Maybe he grows into that. CB gets it. Porter doesn’t. I’m not convince Porter can be consistently engaged to be a great basketball player. Ding dong hello it’s the fucking finals! We looked entitled tonight. Hopefully this puts the fear of God back into our game.
i dont know why humility (Jokic) is bad for him if i read that right. but i like nuggs fans better than, say celts and knicks. those really feeling entitled ones.
Thoughts to come later, but right now I give all credit to Bam.soundas like your giving all credit to bam.bams a good player not great.top 20 player all credit to him for that
Great 1st and 4th. It was enough tonight. Still feel like we are going to need Jimmy to be more aggressive as this series goes on. 5 ft’s for Jimmy isn’t enough.
bams goaltending not called

LoL. Love hearing the fans say their team looks entitled. They sound a lot like the Celtics fans.
We've got them right where we want them!
cant find their website
I caught a big chunk of this game! Thoughts to come later, but right now I give all credit to Bam
all y do u say that,u must mean alot
yes, I don't literally mean he was the only person on the Heat that gets any credit. It's called a "figure of speech"
Thoughts to come later, but right now I give all credit to Bam.soundas like your giving all credit to bam.bams a good player not great.top 20 player all credit to him for that
sigh. conversations like this are why I hate the internet
Yup
AWESOME TEAM WIN!!! I'll take a hard working unselfish team like the Heat any day over a bunch of primadonnas (Suns, Lakers, Warriors, Celtics, etc.).
GO HEAT!!!
need others to chip in cause jim is not superman anymore
Hoping, Tyler picks up where he left off before he broke his hand.
if 3 players out of these 5 plays well, then we have a chance : strus, vincent, duncan, lowry, martin.

Gutted it out. Not sure how we do it, but glad we keep doing it.
Great 1st and 4th. It was enough tonight. Still feel like we are going to need Jimmy to be more aggressive as this series goes on. 5 ft’s for Jimmy isn’t enough.
Jokic got his 40 we got a W!!!
is Denver beatable? YES and YES.
Nuggets stopped my heart for a second! But Heat get the win! Lets GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
What say you now naysayers?
zachs happy with ecf banner
And a lot of folks saying get Duncan out. Sound familiar?
6 foot 8 and finally using his length to attack the rim! That's a game changer!
Duncan's ability to put the ball on the floor and attack the basket was literally making my jaw drop
great 3rd qtr no doubt.he was very bad in game 1
