This made me laugh.

All Denver needs is a reliable #2. When that happens, Denver's win is guaranteed because #15 shows up 100% of the time. You cannot be better.

Has 2 teammates had a triple double in the same game in the finals before? Murray one rebound away.

Yeah for sure I don’t think he’ll actually be benched as he’s too important to the nuggets future. But yeah his leash got a little bit shorter tonight.

Hardest I've seen Bam work the glass in over 83 years.

Where the hell's this fire been?

Not sure. I knew lebron and Kyrie were the first teammates to each have 40+. I'd doubt 2 teammates have had triple doubles though.

Don't think so. Checked the #'s and I see 14 of them, but never in the post-season.

Reached that part of the series where Miami is allowed to maul the opponent. Prepare going forward

Murray wants it.

HeyRelaxGuy · 06-07-2023, 10:06 PM

Miami is too scared to even shoot and they toss that ball back and forth until somebody finally takes it ... only to miss.

[Wind] Nikola Jokic is the first player in NBA history with 30 points, 20 rebounds and 10 assists in the Finals. He’s responsible for three of the five 30-20-10 playoff games ever – two of those have come this postseason.

Best in the game 3 years running, gonna keep sayin it

NeedChapmans · 06-07-2023, 10:11 PM

Denver shot 51%. All three games; they've shot the same %.

The consistency from this team is amazing. Helps to pull 60 boards too!

Jamal Murray FMVP, don't @ me

Jokic. What a game.

GOATcards · 06-07-2023, 10:32 PM

Nugs now 3 games in with MPJ being a non-factor, has there also been a non-factor for Miami who's usually more of a factor?

bustsomewax · 06-07-2023, 10:33 PM

MPJ and KCP need to show up for just one game and this series is over. Denver is not even firing on all cylinders yet.

Outside of an incredible 4th quarter from Miami ... this has not been competitive. Denver has had leads of 21, 8 and 14 going into the 4th quarter.

Not my point.

If you've watched Denver at all this year you would know both those guys are important contributors. They have been totally absent on offense for the entire series.

Miami could easily win Game Four and its tied headed back to Denver and anything can happen in a three game series.

Denver needs those two to show up for at least one game.

pingbling23 · 06-07-2023, 10:40 PM

All I know is Miami needs to get nikola jovic some minutes. With a name like that he’s gotta be good.

But they don't you see ... because as I stated before; Denver has dominated Miami absent a single quarter.

If they do show up, well then that certainly is icing on the cake for what would be additional dominant wins; but Denver has proven that they can be just fine without them.

Not preferred of course.
