 What's the word y'all for the first time in playoffs? I'm recording this video upload the same night Let's let's see how it goes game to the NBA Finals just wrapped up Jamal Murray just took a tough shot Missed and but the Divin August always made that comeback in the last couple minutes. It was electric It is what we want in the NBA finals back in fourth swing superstar Performances a superstar who had been struggling all game long stepping up in the fourth quarter hit of some shots And of course I'm talking about Duncan Robison now, but for real Duncan Robison I cannot believe this man was getting in DnP coach decisions now most of it is warranted because he wasn't very good for the Better part of the regular season, but he went from DnP coach decisions to Basically becoming one of the best players on the court in the NBA finals game in the fourth quarter the whole playoff row He's been getting minutes. He you know, he's got the reputation of one of the best shooters in the league That's how he made 90 million dollars in that 2020 NBA finals run 90 million dollars to be a shooter He's shooting of course He's a threat, of course, but brother he's putting it on the ground what I've ever seen before and before here We see him have a nice two-man game with him and bad mother bio game That's one of the reasons he got paid, but now was more than just a two-man game with a bad mother bio It's curling. It's backdoor cutter. It's taking a few dribbles and going up strong and flexing Duncan Robison really did that today as a neutral fan. I cannot lie to you I'm happy. I'm happy with this outcome right now Because at the game one I was very skeptical about the Miami Heats Not their ability to win games because they they showcase Along the way that they can win in these high leverage games against really good teams But it felt like they would struggle to to keep the offensive firepower enough to keep up with the different nuggets and game To this is what air exposes one of the greatest and ever I was gonna say he's one of the greatest in the league You can argue he is the greatest in the league right now But it's one of the greatest ever because the game plan so it's full We had Kevin Love back in the line up and a Kevin Love stat line. I don't even know what it looked like Let me double check six and ten It won crazy But but the impact was there he makes that adjustment and they basically empowered the guys to continue to shoot You know that the same game plan that got them to this NBA finals They just steered too much away from it But I thought in that first quarter when they opened up on this crazy run They were doing a lot of actions that were not against Nikola Yolkic See a lot of teams going into a series against the different Nugs is gonna run Nikola Yolkic to high pick a roll put them into many defensive acts as possible and in the first court This game they kind of let them on a bio kind of chill and was running two-man games with some of the guards And that was very interesting and it opened the game up with who with Max Drewson a couple threes right off rip gave Vincent Hit a couple threes right off rip and I'm like, okay If the mind of here to go to win this game They got to shoot great from three points Which is something they've done for the majority's playoff series But in the first half I was very scared for the heat because I thought they looked like the better team if there was no scoreboard in this game And you was just going on that's you was going on with the eye test was it and look like the baby He were the better team in the first half and it went into half-time losing Losing I was like ma'am. They played what seemed like a near-perfect half I say near-perfect because they had a couple of really bad turnovers to start off the second quarter Whatever near-perfect half and they still down the different nuggies look bad for the first half and they were still up right now They went on a stretch that run where Christian Brown came in and did great things Bruce Brown came in and did great things Like they they had those moments that bitch stretch where it was like 16 to 3 run But for the most part I felt like in the first half the mind He looked like the better team and yet they were losing so I have a lot of hope Come second half because if they look like the better team in the first half and they're losing What better can they do and then the third quarter came around and Nicola Jokic was Given Cody Zella the absolute work I think he has 16 points in the third quarter long was the 18 But regardless Nicola Jokic again look like the best player in the world for that stretch And I cannot help but to think that the that the Cody Zeller minutes are gonna be completely zero come next game Because the runs that the Miami he could potentially go on with that bench or what had been successful for the first couple series where Their bench unit came in it didn't feel like it was a bench unit when Cody Zeller was out there against Jokic It was quick session. It was Bobby Q chicken ladies and gentlemen It was as easy I could be for the two-time MVP But the Miami heat and I guess Mark Jackson said this on the call in game one that if he was coaching Remember Mark Jackson for what it is. I know he's a commentator now a really good coach in this time He says ups and downs of course, but I would say for the most part really a coach He said that if he was coaching against Nicola Jokic He would make Nicola Jokic be the offensive star and in terms of score Take away every other aspect of the game for Nicola Jokic make him drop 40 Make him drop 50 and try to win we're preventing Michael Porter, Jr. Preventing Jamal Murray all these other dudes from the Tribune and in the mind He did exactly that Nicola Jokic at 41 11 and just for assists and five turnovers That that's it's so stupid this I don't mean that is a bad game because they have 41 points But the four assists the five turnover ratio is something that Nicola Jokic doesn't do They completely gobbled up all the passing lanes and that was that is one of the reasons That is the main reason for this team success that Nicola Jokic is a wizard with the ball He finds people on the cuts he finds the shooters He does all of this and they can fully get rid of all of that. They say Jokic give us buckets. He did He did exactly that but one man is not going with a basketball game is as much as we say we try to feel that way You know I'm saying with Bron do what he did for a decade or one man can't with a basketball game Well, I'll take the back one man came with a basketball game one man can't win a series of basketball games And Yoko's looking around for the most part of this game like man Okay, I'm gonna need somebody else and at fourth quarter came around Duncan Robeson one of his Individual was a 10-0 again. I cannot his individual 10-0 run and the different nugs is trying to figure out what to do Yoko's is still doing this thing. Jamarra comes off the bench for like eight minutes to go And he helped them put together a run. I was like no way if the Miami he blow this game reps It's right series is over now I know it's hard to say that right? It's hard to say that because a series don't don't start a tour routine wins a game But if you go in the last couple minutes of a game and you blow a game in the NBA Finders is the moralizer and maybe I should be saying that because it's the same Miami He'd seen a game of a game went a layup to to to Derek White in a game six They came out in the game seven to close it out So maybe there's no such thing as a must win for them a lit until it's literally a must win But if they would have blown a game I would have felt really good about different like it's a five now I don't really feel that way because Eric Sposter did his thing and the player stepped up The main changes in this one were where they were aggressive when it came to drawing fouls Jimmy Butler again I mean the gate and the team in general had two free throws last game the lowest and in big finals history Yada yada yada and his game Jimmy got to the line five times bam got his five free throws max juice drew a three-point foul Gabe Vincent drew one. Why did KCP foul 17 jumpshooter? That's what it felt like Cal Lara drew his and this was this has been the recipe for them Like you got to get to the free old recipe to win basketball games in general You got to get to the free throw line you gotta knock them down There and then they also nearly shot fifty percent from three. That's beautiful basketball and last game I think Bama by the way at twenty five points on twenty six shots where it felt like the different nuggets idea behind guarding them It's like hey, let them do bam. He gonna shoot like fifty percent on those mid-range jump shots fifty percent on twenty six shots We feel good because that mean what is okay? I'm not gonna get us a man So one point per one point per shot to um forget one point per shot attempt We like our chances against that even if we don't shoot well They didn't even shoot well last game um and they still ended up winning this one now You looking around like dang Michael Porter, Jr. He had a couple big blocks in game one today I felt like a few of the he got too fast to a few of them were like actually different nuggets in general You got fouling on jump shooting and a bunch of fast break fouls that didn't need to happen Where one of them was a game Vincent gave Vincent got a steal Bruce Brown and Christian Brown trying to get back at Christian Brown foul Just trying to contest the layup when it really gave it's a hat that all together They might a bio slipped the screen and dunked the ball and from the help side You got Michael Porter, Jr. Who just tapped them on our knock and I'm hard enough to prevent him from dunking the ball He still took the ball There was a lot of defensive miscues in this one and that's unlike the different nuggets at least in the playoffs like in The regular season they had the ups and downs offensively right I think to start off the first couple months of the season 21st and basketball and me I remember vividly me and the guys were talking about on the pot Like can you win a championship as good as this team could potentially be if this is your defense now all together once the season Got to the nitty gritty and got to the end they were a lot better than that and that's even with in January or early February they were struggling they lost like whatever many in the row their defense came together and the playoffs They had been really good defensively this game They felt lost where there is a few times in this one where there's miscommunications on the screen or whatever And I remember seeing Jamal Murray literally look at KCP like like do one of these like directional like trying to figure out What the hell is happening because this is not the same stuff that was happening in the first couple series I'm just happy we got a series at this point man I'm just happy we got a series at this point because the ball arena had been a place that nobody can win It was Albatraz It was like if you were coming in there when they've been out to two or the home court advantage from the fans or Yo kitchen the guys just knowing those courts and those rims better They have been unstoppable at this place and now it is a 1-1 series going back to Miami Miami just stole home court advantage y'all This is an 8c. We're talking about I'm gonna send a lot of stuff for people saying this is the fakest 8c in history regardless There's still an 8c. I know they were there one shot away from the conference finals last year And they were in the NBA finals a few years before that still they're a genuine 8c team and Tyler here wrote my play next game I don't know if that's a good or bad thing for the way this team has been playing over the last seven weeks without him But I'm just saying you need more offensive firepower potentially because this is another Okay, it was a 111 a 108 and 2023 that feels like a low scoring game this in my bucket I don't know. I've been saying this since Duncan Robinson got injured I'm not Duncan Robinson since Tyler hero got injured when we start that had a conversation Oh shit They bring it back or whatever whatever I am of the belief that you bring them back But you don't guarantee anything You don't guarantee that he's gonna start over Max Drew's even though Max Drew struggled in game one and shot 40% tonight But hit some big shots in that first quarter. You don't guarantee him a start You don't guarantee him that he's getting 30 minutes 20 minutes a game You play him in the flow just like you've been playing the rest of these guys in the flow last series Caleb Martin Damn, there was the Easter conference player of the year Easter conference MVP or whatever you want to call it He's he plays 21 minutes tonight, you know, you gotta run with whatever unit is working And this oh, this is actually the second game in a row with the Miami He went on the individual run when Jimmy Butler was on the bench starting the fourth quarter and then we like, okay Where's Jimmy? Obviously, I know everybody's he's showing the clip of Josh Hart in the second round in the playoffs When he got underneath Jimmy Butler and that's where he's praying his ankle whatever whatever his ankle's hurting him He won't say it completely, but we understand that but even with in he hit some big-time shots in this one And he hit some big-time shots And I'm a firm believer that if you struggle for three quarters, but you hit some big shots The old team when you had to go game Genuinely that I am a firm believer in that and I feel like we got that from Jimmy Butler Now if he didn't hit those big shots and he didn't and then they lost that we loud Jimmy What are you doing? But that's just that's just the way it works. You win a basketball game It's all praise you lose a basketball game as well It's just it's just the reality of sports in general Jimmy Butler started off this game on Jamal Murray and I thought he gave him some really good problems even on the last shot of the game I thought Jimmy Butler was reaching in and draw like to Intentionally foul because they're up by three the different nuggets are in the bonus I mean if you want to play the numbers game you play the free throws You're 90% free throw shooting team right now play a free throw game I he reached it They get the call and they play straight-up defense and forced to miss and I thought that was a case for the majority's game When they were matched up against each other so that the Miami heat might have found something offensively By allowing yokich to do yokich and not allow him to pass I don't know again the way these series goals in these games goals It's like how air exposure came into game to guns blazing with some new strategies I'm assuming Michael Malone do the same thing because these are two of the better coaches in basketball So only time will tell man. Let me know what you think. I saw a lot. Let's listen I was at a I was at a wedding in Toronto yesterday and everybody there knows me as a basketball guy And it's a gift in the curse right because everybody wants to talk to you about hoops because that's what they know you for and Everybody was saying like listen, I'm feeling Denver at four I'm feeling Denver in four and I was like, I can't I can't say that I have to give at least some respect to the Miami heat though I do believe like my prediction was the different others to win this series I can't say it's about to be a sweep because I feel like Spostra is winning you a game I feel like a Jimmy Butler can win you a game And I think we got probably a combination of that today that I couldn't say it was for is it five What one way or another it might be five it could be six I'm hoping for at least six for personal reasons and you understand that later down the line Just know that if if if there is a game six. I'm in Miami and I'm working so all you need to know I will see y'all soon
