2022-23 NBA Season THREAD (2023 Playoffs Talk)

[Scoot26]

I generally don't complain too much about refs because there are always blown calls that go both ways every game.... BUT... I feel like the Nuggets really got screwed yesterday.

In the 3rd Q, Butler stepped out of bounds on a pass to Vincent, which wound up being a 3.

early in the 4th, there was that one offensive foul on Jokic where Vincent fell down... I don't think Vincent tried flopping, it just looked like he tripped or something, and it was called on Jokic. In a span of 1 minute, the Nuggets had like 4 fouls called on them, with this one being the one that seemed to get Denver really frustrated. When Miami was making a run, this one, I think, prevented Denver from stopping it.

Late in the 4th, that was an obvious goaltending by Bam on the Murray floater.

Those 3 calls, imo, really helped propel Miami in winning the game.

I agree. Felt like the calls were in generally favorable to Miami vs Denver.

They won only by 3 points. Hit a bunch of threes.

There wasn't a large FT disparity, so I mean it remains of question of can Miami keep it up?

Miami has gone as their 3pt shooting has gone. Calls favored them this time, but I don't think Denver is winning by 10+ points or something if the calls go the other way. Murray's hot shooting at the end is what made it a 3pt game, but hard to beat the Heat when they're shooting nearly 50% from 3

Still feeling confident the heat win in 7?

80% of the time the winner of game 3 when it’s tied 1-1, wins the series. And now the nuggets have home court advantage again

So LeBron owns like 20% of the 2-1 comebacks?

I had the Heat in 7 before the series started so I’m sticking to it. Am I overly confident about it? Not really

Michael Porter Jr. and KCP have been dog shit this series. If they get it together, this series won't even be close.

2019 draft class kind of sucks.

Watching Max Strus suck it up in the Finals just make it that much more annoying that he lit up the Bulls in that play in game and basically won them the game

Tbf, the playoffs are probably better for it. What the Heat have done has been fun to watch and the Bulls likely would have been embarrassed in the 1st round.

Think this teaches teams to shy away from signing him?

Nah. Charlotte will give him a lot of money.
