Denver v Miami

 

[Iceman!]

They at least made the finals having taken a commanding series lead against the Warriors.

I agree, some of it is on the players but just look at the way they have been playing since making the playoffs. It's completely disjointed.
Mazzulla is seriously a shocking coach. It's really not even a debate. The bloke inherited one of the most talented rosters and turned them into the Philadelphia 76ers.

He will certainly be fired hours after they get swept on Wednesday morning.

No one is arguing that, but suggesting he is the sole reason is too kind to the playing group.

This core has issues that they are still yet to fix, until they do they will always be somewhat exposed in play offs.

[NSWCROW]

We look like shit and we're only down 6

That's something, i guess

 

[NSWCROW]

Horrible

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

We look like s**t and we're only down 6

That's something, i guess

Was just coming on to say I reckon Nuggets win this game.
Not playing great and only down 6. Whereas LeBron had to have a career best 1st quarter to get the lead.
Don't think he can maintain that for 4 quarters and he ain't scoring 80pts.
Having said that, he's continuing on with it so far.

 

[NSWCROW]

OH MY GOD !!!

 

[peternorth]

Jesus joker travelled twice and hits a fall away 3 on the buzzer. Freak

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Holy ****!

He can’t sustain it. Can only go one way.

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Bron having some kind of game.

 

[peternorth]

Foul whistled. Finally

 

[Cripps 'n' Blue Bloods]

Seems like a bit of delaying the inevitable. Even if he maintains it this game and gets them over the line, he isn't going to do it for 3 more games.
I guess it saves face from getting swept, which is probably all he cares about.

 

[Iceman!]

At his age, with a cooked foot and he is dragging this team along. Incredible performance.

 

[peternorth]

Yay a foul

 

[DT_35]

Foul? Lmao

 

[DT_35]

LOL what the f*** is that rubbish

 

[stewie griffen]

Love a delayed whistle

This is how you earn a wheelchair in basketball. Old man carrying too much.

Michael Malone assessed with a technical foul.

 

[DT_35]

Jokic pushed and jersey grabbed, no foul.
Straight down the other end, soft foul call
