Inside the NBA Previews Nuggets vs. Heat NBA Finals

And a little preview for you, by the way, they met twice in the regular season. Miami hadn't beaten them since the Obama administration. Nuggets won both this year. Both last year. But one by five and one by four this year. The Heat have lost their last six at Denver. Yeah, well, you can go ahead and put seven and eight in game one and two. Yeah, it sounded like what you said before this series. Thank you, Ernie. Hey, hey, listen to that exact thing. Yeah, they got no change here. Hey, let me tell you something. Tell us something. The best team didn't win this series. Hey, you always. But you say the best of seven. You have always said the better team always wins in a best of seven. The Miami is not better than Celtics. I'm just telling you that. No, no, no. Hey, listen, I'll stick by what I said. No. The better team did not win this series. No, they're not more talented. They got more talent. You're right. The more talented team did not win this series. Yes, but the better team did. If you want to say that. But the team that had more talent didn't win the series. Now, the difference is going forward with the Nuggets. They're not going to have these peaks and valleys. They're going to play. They're not going to come out there and just jack up threes. And just like if we make them, we're going to win. I've told Darnley, I have not changed any opinion about the Denver Nuggets. I said when the playoffs started, they're going to win the championship. I cannot wait to get to Denver. And first of all, they got a really good break tonight. Because a deceptive would have been a now Jason Tatum injury thing. But I think it worked out perfect for the Nuggets. It'll definitely be a tall task for Miami Heat. But, you know, you said they only won by four or won by five. That concerns me. You know, this is a. You don't know the situation, Shaq. It could have been back to back and stuff like that. You just don't know the situation. Yeah, you do. No, no. Yeah. No, if they're so. You don't even know who played. I don't care if they're so mighty. They would have won by 15, 20 point four or five concerns me. First game in Denver at the end of December. Exactly. Joker had triple double. KCP had 20. Murray had 14. They shot 59 percent. You're talking like it's going to be a beat down, beat down. Here are you. Hero had 26, 10 and five. Hero could return in this series from Chris Haynes. Had a had this ramping up workouts expected to make his return at some point during the finals, with game three being the likely target. League sources tell C. Haynes in the second game in Miami in February. Joker had 27, 12 and eight. Jamal Murray didn't play. They shot 58 percent and one Butler had 24, 10 and nine screws. Twenty three. That's just a bunch of numbers. I'm throwing again, and that's all going back to February. Here we are. It's May going into June NBA fun. Again, it'll be a tall task of Miami. Joker is the best player in the league. He's playing great. Jamal's playing some inspiring basketball, but the bench, the Miami Heat, the others, the way they're playing. I'm not going to count them out. I would say there's mismatches everywhere. Vincent looks so good. I mean, again, same. It was very similar, maybe even more because Porter and Gordon, you know, with their size also create some mismatches. But obviously, Joker, the MVP candidate and MVP the last two years and could have won it easily this year. You have Murray playing like an all star easily. You will say, oh, they have mismatches all the way. But there's only there's only what happens in basketball. There's only a certain amount of possessions, you know, and so it's not like a football where you could you could dominate the clock with the amount of possession. You have to shoot the ball in 24 seconds here. So everyone has the same amount of possessions if you don't turn the basketball over. So if Miami Heat doesn't turn the basketball over and they play the way they inspired, they went, they that's what beat the Boston Celtics. Can they do that? The Denver Nuggets? Visually, you go, no, but the way they have played this playoffs, I would not count them out. Here's another nugget for you, OK? The last time Miami won at Denver, November 30th, 2016, 106-98, Joker and Jamal Murray both coming off the bench. That's hilarious. On that Denver team. The Denver Nuggets are a complete team. Yes, they are. They got. I don't get into the matter who the best player in the world is because, you know, Giannis is in that conversation and beat one MVP. Joker has been the best player in the playoffs. Caleb Martin. Joker's been the best player in the NBA playoffs so far. I will tell you this. Miami, they play hard. They play smart. They got a great coach. I do not see anybody beating the Denver Nuggets. All right.
