Honestly, I want both Jimmy and Jokic to win, but either way this will be an amazing series. If Jokic wins the memes for Embiid will be funny, while also bringing him up to the all time great center conversation and if the Heat win, Jimmy is definitely a Hall of Famer I think.
And some people wonder why Jokić deservedly should've been a historic 3 time MVP. Look at what's happening when his team is finally healthy. Btw Jimmy is a HOFer regardless but yeah a ring really ups his legacy
@@donsnow8039considering the discourse around the nuggets this postseason and all the twitter coaches game plans for beating the nuggets, I’m just convinced nobody actually watched the nuggets this season. The amount of people who thought Jamal wasn’t gonna be able to sustain hitting mid-range fade aways was baffling.
nah, WHEN Jokic wins you mean, jimmy is getting abused in the finals and has ABSOLUTELY no chance of winning, no way in hell you actually think he has a chance, you have to be QUITE stupid
You know, the media and fan bases are fucked wheneven a supposedly big market team like Miami still doesn’t get talked about because they don’t have drama inducing superstars and just have a bunch of hard-working undrafted players or low round picks.
100%. Lakers/Celtics would have been boring as hell. Same narratives as always. Heat and Nuggets both have something very exciting to play for. Best playoffs in a long time.
No matter who wins i think its a great story *Nuggets* : 1st chip in franchise history, Jokic wins a ring and enters all-time convos *Heat* : 8th seed winning the chip, Jimmy gets deserved ring
Jokic wins a ring and enters all-time convos? No. we start at the best of this gen. but we also have other greats and the only think that will solve this is time.
This is one of those Finals where I'm very content whichever team wins. If it's Denver, it'd be their first ring in franchise history and it would elevate Jokic's already stacked career. If it's Miami, it would be the 1st 8th seed team to win a ring (beating BOTH 1st seeds in each conference) and Jimmy's first ring. It'll be one for the ages whatever the outcome may be.
no injuries? Heat have been without their second leading scorer (Herro). Jimmy is still dealing with that ankle injury (re-tweaked it game 7 and has played poorly since Knicks series). Oladipo is gone but not a huge loss. Also, don’t underestimate Heat role players as “catch and shoot” guys. They can nearly all cut and attack the basket. Caleb Martin and Vincent are great at creating their own shot too, Not to mention if Herro can come back by game 3. This could go either way
He probably recorded two, and released the one that ended up being the case. The takes in the unreleased video might not necessarily be terrible, but they won’t be relevant because the matchup they’d be describing wouldn’t have come to fruition.
If ya'll don't stomp out Miami in 5 there will be an egregious amount of slander from me. Cause you should be able to manhandle either of the teams that played tonight.
@@kyletucker3811 No one has a clue who you are so whether you decide to slander them or not, no one will care. Denver is a finesse team, not a physical one, so it's doubtful they will manhandle anyone but they certainly have the skills to outplay any team in the NBA.
@@kyletucker3811 officiating never favors the Nuggets, not even against Minnesota, they played 5 v 8 through the whole playoffs, you're underestimating the Heats ability to take advantage of bad officiating, they're still a huge market compared to Denver.
I agree with you in principle. I think, in reality, thought. If Miami wins, the sports media will still slander Jokic. They gotta get their views somehow.
Something to note is the size advantage Denver has. Caleb, their 4 is the same size and weight as KCP, a shooting guard. Bam is only slightly larger than Aaron Gordon. And Jokic is a 7 footer and MPJ is 6'10.
You could say the same with all the teams Heat beat so far. (Bucks: Giannis, Lopez, Portis. Knicks: Randle, Robinson. Celtics: Tatum, Horford, Williams)
@@burcopresents Thats only 2-3 players in each of those teams, in Nuggets everyone is big,even bench players except Bruce Brown but he is good defender.
I want Jimmy to take it in 7 in an OT game where him and Jokic both go nuts. Denver's most likely to have future opportunities and Jimmy and the Joker, along with Dame, are the 3 players in the league I see as being most deserving of getting a ring next for their contributions out of players with no ring. Denver's probably taking it, but ... That's what I'm hoping for.
If the mainstream sports media can't find compelling narratives for this finals matchup then they are as incompetent as they are butt hurt (it wasn't the Lakers vs Celtics for umpteenth time). This finals matchup is the stuff movies are made about
I know I'm a Nuggets fan, but Nuggets in 6. Denver is a lot more consistent than Boston and is pretty consistent for the most part. Plus Miami is undersized and Jokic should ball out as usual. That said, containing Jimmy isn't going to be easy even if he did cool off a bit at times in the Celtics series and Miami made it here for a reason. That said, we had a lot more time to rest up and we're a more talented team.

I would still prefer the Nuggets, since they are very media quiet and unrecognized. Jimmy Butler may be disliked by the media but he still loves toying with them
Im glad its a Denver/Miami finals. I remember seeing a couple uploads back, not just in the comments for both your channels but just online in general revolving the NBA, seeing “I hope its a Lakers/Celtics finals. NO ONE wants to see Denver/Miami”. Hope all the casual fucks seeeeeethe in not getting what they want lol, im gonna enjoy this series, grats to both teams and fanbases.
Lakers-Celtics in the next couple years would be interesting (don’t both franchises have the same number of titles). But Nuggets-Heat is a very interesting matchup too.
The Nuggets and Heat are the two best teams in the NBA right now. They both tore through the best teams to get here, and they deserve all the respect. Either team can win now.
Why would anyone outside of Boston want to see Boston more than other teams. Why would anyone other than Lebron fans and people living in LA want to see the Lakers in the finals?
@@DipsAndPushups Not a fan of either one personally, but for the reason I stated, I wouldn’t mind seeing those two square off. That said, this final matchup is excellent
@@DipsAndPushups This Lakers team actually has been entertaining to watch since the trade deadline, so I can sort of understand that. (Though I can also understand being tired of the team, and the Nuggets have certainly been MORE fun.) The Celtics, though, are just... a miserable watch on offense. Two guys playing bad 2000s iso against intelligent, modern defenses, while their teammates stand around gormlessly. (Except their bad shots are 3s instead of 2s. Modernity!) It's grotesque how they've devolved on both ends from last year, and even then they had stickiness/decision making problems. This is certainly the most watchable outcome of the conference finals!
I wouldn’t say both teams are healthy. Herro might come back game 3 and having oladipo out hurts. It’ll be tough but hopefully miami’s experience will help, but I’m proud of the what the heat have done so far. What a way to end it in Boston too.
A take hotter than your crush - if the Maimi Heat win the finals, Jimmy Buter will replace LeBron James' 2016 and Dirk Nowitzki's 2011 runs as the most respected championship of all time.
Denver not gonna make the mental errors or play as inconsistently as Boston did. Spoelstras a great coach, but sometimes talent and size simply win out.
@@jasonmoukala8909”sometimes” as in that’s the only factor. He’s saying that not only are the nuggets the most disciplined and skilled team in the NBA, but even if they aren’t playing their best game every night, they’ll probably still win those sloppy games just based on how good they are regardless
Nuggets are hungry. They swept the Lakers in four close games. They didn't have to. They could have dropped a game or two and justify it. But they didn't. I don't think at this point they will overlook the Heat. I think they will want to crush them, not play with their food at all.
@@bacardibum Bucks problem is pretty much on coaching, specifically on Bud. He has this 4d chess game on his head thinking "this thing worked, let's not do it again so our opponents will be always surprised on our next move".
We Twolves fans knew we weren't winning the series, they made easy work of us in the regular season. We just wanted to give ourselves a chance in spirit.
shoutouts to philly dropping butler and not making it past the 2nd round while butler has made it to 2 finals and an extra conference finals appearance
My predictions for the finals: Game 1-Nuggets Game 2-Heat Game 3-Nuggets Game 4-Nuggets Game 5-Heat Game 6-Nuggets I think Jimmys sheer willpower will force 2 games but i see no chance that they can even slow down Jokic
My NBA Finals prediction of a Nuggets-Heat matchup has finally come to fruition. Rooting for Denver to win it all this year, since they remind me of the 2011 Mavs in the sense that both teams are/were led by unathletic European big men who won the MVP without an all-star teammate and were overlooked by the media despite being at the top of their conferences. Plus, a small market team winning the chip is inspiring indeed.
Nuggets aren't underdogs. Nobody thought the Timberwolves were going to win. That was the easiest matchup in the playoffs. People thought that DeAndre Ayton would be playable and that CP3 could stay healthy for once. Turns out that wasn't the case so Suns vs Nuggets was 2 vs 5 instead of 3-4 vs 5 which still took 6 games. The Lakers were by far the best team the Nuggets faced and had opportunities to win in each game. If some things had gone the Lakers way, things could've ended up very differently. Still a chance to come back 3-0 when it could've easily have been 1-2, 2-1, or 0-3.
Who gives a rip? 😂 I'll tell you this though: the casuals that do tune in - even accidentally - will not be casuals after this finals. They will either fall in love with the beautiful basketball Nugs and the maestro plays. Or fall for the hard nosed never say die underdog Heat and their fearless leader. Nugs and Heat gonna convert a LOT of folk into fans.
@@noelramirez1551 Well yeah... NBAs gotta expect casuals to only tune in when their favorite laundry is on the court. But this is how fanbases get built. Across the land there were maybe six Warrior fans from the we believe era and a couple old heads from Run TMC, and then Steph Joined and they started winning and now they are one of the biggest fanbases in the NBA. Same will start happening with these teams. Also screw ESPN, I hope they go under lol.
@@myles2d129 the road to the conference finals was easier taking the 8th seed than the 7th…. I believe that, and I’m sticking to it 😅 And on top of that, he said we had no chance, and were going to get swept!
I honestly don't know which team I really want to win more. Miami has championships already, so obviously historically it means more to the Nuggets... But on the other hand, an 8th seed?!
He has to stay on top of his game for example me that I didn’t see the game, this video popped up and I found out right away who won the East. That’s how you get the algorithm in your favor and take views from your op content creators! The 305 came through in the clutch let’s go Heat
I really like both Jokic/Murray and Butler/Bam but I can only go with one. The Heat had been preparing all season long for this big stage, this ultimate test and now they’re ready. Let’s Go, HEAT in 6.
It's funny calling the Nuggets an underdog team when they were the first seed, but because of the constant disrespect by fans and the media they are legitimately underdogs. Honestly been this way for the past couple of seasons for them
Whats fascinating is that since MJ retired, there has only been ONE NBA finals without any of these 5 players: Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Lebron James, Steph Curry or Udonis Haslem. That was in 2021 (Suns vs Bucks).

I would still prefer the Nuggets, since they are very media quiet and unrecognized. Jimmy Butler may be disliked by the media but he still loves toying with them
Im glad its a Denver/Miami finals. I remember seeing a couple uploads back, not just in the comments for both your channels but just online in general revolving the NBA, seeing “I hope its a Lakers/Celtics finals. NO ONE wants to see Denver/Miami”. Hope all the casual fucks seeeeeethe in not getting what they want lol, im gonna enjoy this series, grats to both teams and fanbases.
Lakers-Celtics in the next couple years would be interesting (don’t both franchises have the same number of titles).
But Nuggets-Heat is a very interesting matchup too.
The Nuggets and Heat are the two best teams in the NBA right now. They both tore through the best teams to get here, and they deserve all the respect. Either team can win now.
Why would anyone outside of Boston want to see Boston more than other teams. Why would anyone other than Lebron fans and people living in LA want to see the Lakers in the finals?
@@DipsAndPushups Not a fan of either one personally, but for the reason I stated, I wouldn’t mind seeing those two square off.
That said, this final matchup is excellent
@@DipsAndPushups This Lakers team actually has been entertaining to watch since the trade deadline, so I can sort of understand that. (Though I can also understand being tired of the team, and the Nuggets have certainly been MORE fun.)
The Celtics, though, are just... a miserable watch on offense. Two guys playing bad 2000s iso against intelligent, modern defenses, while their teammates stand around gormlessly. (Except their bad shots are 3s instead of 2s. Modernity!) It's grotesque how they've devolved on both ends from last year, and even then they had stickiness/decision making problems.
This is certainly the most watchable outcome of the conference finals!
That "the f*ck*ng Minesota Timberwolves" at 1:27 came from a deep place of disbelief 😂
I wouldn’t say both teams are healthy. Herro might come back game 3 and having oladipo out hurts. It’ll be tough but hopefully miami’s experience will help, but I’m proud of the what the heat have done so far. What a way to end it in Boston too.
A take hotter than your crush - if the Maimi Heat win the finals, Jimmy Buter will replace LeBron James' 2016 and Dirk Nowitzki's 2011 runs as the most respected championship of all time.
no
I can breath easy for heat fans and jimmy now. Thank God 😮💨
Bro is quick with it
Denver not gonna make the mental errors or play as inconsistently as Boston did. Spoelstras a great coach, but sometimes talent and size simply win out.
Notice how you said “sometimes”
@@jasonmoukala8909”sometimes” as in that’s the only factor. He’s saying that not only are the nuggets the most disciplined and skilled team in the NBA, but even if they aren’t playing their best game every night, they’ll probably still win those sloppy games just based on how good they are regardless
Nuggets are hungry. They swept the Lakers in four close games. They didn't have to. They could have dropped a game or two and justify it. But they didn't.
I don't think at this point they will overlook the Heat. I think they will want to crush them, not play with their food at all.
@@shorewall the bucks and celtics have a lot of dumb players on their teams that can't shoot, denver doesn't.
@@bacardibum Bucks problem is pretty much on coaching, specifically on Bud. He has this 4d chess game on his head thinking "this thing worked, let's not do it again so our opponents will be always surprised on our next move".
I don't even watch basketball, but I've been very interested in this playoffs. Everyone loves a good underdog story.
tyler herro is a wild card. cant expect him to make a huge impact coming off of a broken hand, but he has the potential to really throw denver off
Perfect timing 🤞🏻
u making this before the game ended is funny asl
Bro the game ain’t even over yet 😭
We Twolves fans knew we weren't winning the series, they made easy work of us in the regular season. We just wanted to give ourselves a chance in spirit.
shoutouts to philly dropping butler and not making it past the 2nd round while butler has made it to 2 finals and an extra conference finals appearance
The game ain’t even over 😭
My predictions for the finals:
Game 1-Nuggets
Game 2-Heat
Game 3-Nuggets
Game 4-Nuggets
Game 5-Heat
Game 6-Nuggets
I think Jimmys sheer willpower will force 2 games but i see no chance that they can even slow down Jokic
Caleb Martin as a reserve? Lol bro when did you record this
dude your timing is impeccable
Bro recorded this vid after game 3 but the Celtics decided to delay it 😭😭imagine Celtics win tonight 💀
My NBA Finals prediction of a Nuggets-Heat matchup has finally come to fruition.
Rooting for Denver to win it all this year, since they remind me of the 2011 Mavs in the sense that both teams are/were led by unathletic European big men who won the MVP without an all-star teammate and were overlooked by the media despite being at the top of their conferences.
Plus, a small market team winning the chip is inspiring indeed.
The Nuggets are not the underdogs. They are the 1st seed team. Idc what the media was talking bout. The Heat are actually the underdogs.
the fact the heat are where they are should be a 30 for 30 episode
game still has a minute left dawg 😭
Bro it was a 20pt game with a min left. The game was over😭 idk why I keep seeing these comments. It’s not like it was a 10pt game with 2 min left🤦🏻♂️
Nuggets aren't underdogs. Nobody thought the Timberwolves were going to win. That was the easiest matchup in the playoffs. People thought that DeAndre Ayton would be playable and that CP3 could stay healthy for once. Turns out that wasn't the case so Suns vs Nuggets was 2 vs 5 instead of 3-4 vs 5 which still took 6 games. The Lakers were by far the best team the Nuggets faced and had opportunities to win in each game. If some things had gone the Lakers way, things could've ended up very differently. Still a chance to come back 3-0 when it could've easily have been 1-2, 2-1, or 0-3.
i am hoping for a 7 game series. both teams have an edge somewhere.
I hope the heat win would be such a dope story and would show the bulls timberwolves and 76ers threw sleeping on jimmy
Least viewed finals incoming, still gonna be entertaining as hell.
I mean I don't like the heat Boston Lakers or Denver and didn't watch a single game from those series so I don't doubt the views will be low
Who gives a rip? 😂
I'll tell you this though: the casuals that do tune in - even accidentally - will not be casuals after this finals.
They will either fall in love with the beautiful basketball Nugs and the maestro plays.
Or fall for the hard nosed never say die underdog Heat and their fearless leader.
Nugs and Heat gonna convert a LOT of folk into fans.
@@noelramirez1551 Well yeah... NBAs gotta expect casuals to only tune in when their favorite laundry is on the court.
But this is how fanbases get built. Across the land there were maybe six Warrior fans from the we believe era and a couple old heads from Run TMC, and then Steph Joined and they started winning and now they are one of the biggest fanbases in the NBA.
Same will start happening with these teams. Also screw ESPN, I hope they go under lol.
Just because it’s not the most viewed doesn’t mean the basketball being played isn’t good
@@fortynights1513 yeah that's what I was saying hehe
Did my guy make a lightning fast video or two seprate videos. Both options show a lot of dedication to the game. Keep up the good work.
Michael “This is the end of the play” Porter Jr
I’d call Denver more under appreciated than underdogs
HEAT GOT THIS , BAM IS THE KEY 💯
Don’t think I forgot you writing us off from the first round… saying we were going to get swept by Bucks!
#HeatNation
To be fair it wasn’t a bad take a the time. The heat lost to the hawks and then barely beat the bulls😭
@@myles2d129 the road to the conference finals was easier taking the 8th seed than the 7th…. I believe that, and I’m sticking to it 😅
And on top of that, he said we had no chance, and were going to get swept!
this was fast af 🤣🤣
No one is stopping jokic, bam is a great defending C obviously but it wont matter
I would be extremely surprised if it takes more than 5 games for the nuggets to win.
Good stuff!
Already uploaded! The results of the game speak for itself! Loll
Nba casuals when the number 1 seed performs good: 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Miami is like that kid that was late to the Exam but still aced it
Rocky Balboa vs Viktor Drago. I'm rooting for Rocky.
Remember Jokic in the 1st quarter of game 1 Vs Lakers? That's him this entire series
I honestly don't know which team I really want to win more. Miami has championships already, so obviously historically it means more to the Nuggets...
But on the other hand, an 8th seed?!
Big props to the Heat. Nuggets in 5
He has to stay on top of his game for example me that I didn’t see the game, this video popped up and I found out right away who won the East. That’s how you get the algorithm in your favor and take views from your op content creators! The 305 came through in the clutch let’s go Heat
I really like both Jokic/Murray and Butler/Bam but I can only go with one.
The Heat had been preparing all season long for this big stage, this ultimate test and now they’re ready. Let’s Go, HEAT in 6.
lol "both teams are healthy"
Jimmy - ankle
Gabe Vincent - ankle
Tyler Hero - broken hand
Victor Oladipo - RIP
It's funny calling the Nuggets an underdog team when they were the first seed, but because of the constant disrespect by fans and the media they are legitimately underdogs. Honestly been this way for the past couple of seasons for them
I swear Jokić could average 100 points 100 rebounds 100 assist and people would still say he’s not exciting
0:47 killed me
Whats fascinating is that since MJ retired, there has only been ONE NBA finals without any of these 5 players: Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, Lebron James, Steph Curry or Udonis Haslem. That was in 2021 (Suns vs Bucks).
