Topic: 2022-2023 NBA Season - Draft Day to Playoffs

[noob]

50+ points per game for the undrafted players of the Heat. that's the major difference.

parang drafted players are not guarantee for teams to succeed 😄

[noob]

The Heat players and coaching staff are already on a flight to Denver after Game 7 in Boston. Yup, NOT going home to Miami, but going directly to Denver.

I'm thinking they went early probably to acclimatize to the 5,000+ ft of elevation in Denver.

The MIA Heat is a championship winning organization.  They know that they haven't accomplished their mother of all goals.

Yung mga katulad lang naman ng ganitong team ang proud sa Conference at division Championships eh.

2023 NBA Finals Schedule (PH time):

Denver won the season series against Miami, 2-0. Miami has not also beaten Denver since the 2019-2020 season.

Playoff Jamal v. Playoff Jimmy? But the bigger question is who can defend the Joker.

The Denver Nuggets, who will be making their first appearance in the NBA Finals, were installed as -360 favorites over the Miami Heat by Caesars Sportsbook on Monday night.

per ESPN.

Looks like the odds are really stacked up against MIA. 

[Verbl Kint]

Miami was +1400 to win the championship after White's buzzer-beater (baka ngayon mas mababa na). 

That is 14 to 1 odds, which is not a bad deal considering how gritty, hardworking, and well-coached the Heat are. 

Kung tumaya ka ng ₱100, ₱1400 yung panalo, puwede ng isugal.

Yung ginawa nila kay Williams, sa depensa parang zone sila at naka boxed-out, halos hinde na tumatalon mga miami for rebound..

Wag lang ma foul trouble si bam maganda ang pick and roll nila at dish out sa open three.. at pag gumana 3s nila may kalalagyan ang nuggets.. 😁

Jimmy Buckets has been on this stage before but they lost.  Bam, Herro, Robinson were just too raw back then.  Now they are back.  I don't think Jimmy Buckets will let go of this chance. They may have lost Herro due to injury but they found a gem in Caleb who in my opinion is a lot better than Herro.

This just might be their only window to win it.  They will do whatever it takes to capture this championship. 

IF they win it all this just might be the best Cinderella story in the NBA.

actually they may have opportunities in the future as the new CBA prevents the build up of super teams

nuggets 1st 5 are all above 40% on 3 point shooting, bruce brown & caldwell-pope were underrated on defensive end (drafted by detroit) to slow production of jordan's long lost son..   & hindi rin nagtatalon si joker for rebounds & still avg. tripple double throughout the playoffs, jamal murray can't be stop offensively, jimmy butler sometimes fade, hindi araw-araw pasko kung aasa sa 3point shooting ang miami, remember, tsiken nuggets held the powerhouse lakers to zero win, while miami lost 3 to boston, bulingit pa players ng miami..
Llamado dito nuggets even in fast pace game..

perhaps but Jimmy is already turning 34.   He is the prime mover of this team. Without his leadership on and off the court, this team will go nowhere.  Bam and the others are just entering their prime.

(AP] - Preview capsule for the NBA Finals, which start Friday in Denver:

East No. 8 MIAMI HEAT (44-38, 12-6) vs. West No. 1 DENVER NUGGETS (53-29, 12-3)

Season series: Nuggets, 2-0. Denver’s two victories came by a combined nine points, with a 124-119 home win on Dec. 30 and a 112-108 victory in Miami on Feb. 13.

Storyline: The Nuggets have cruised to the first NBA Finals appearance in franchise history behind Jokic, the two-time NBA MVP who is averaging 29.9 points, 13.3 rebounds and 10.3 assists in the postseason. The Heat are here for the seventh time, though this is their most surprising trip. Minutes away from missing the playoffs entirely, they went on to become the second No. 8 seed to reach the finals, joining the New York Knicks in 1999.

Injury watch: Miami’s Tyler Herro, out since breaking his hand in the postseason opener against Milwaukee, has been working out in hopes of playing in this series. Herro is reportedly eyeing to return in Game 3 of the Finals.

Numbers of note: The Heat haven’t won in Denver since Nov. 30, 2016. ... Denver is 8-0 at home in the postseason and has won six straight overall since being tied 2-2 with the Suns. ... The Heat have won Game 1 on the road in all three series thus far. ... In Jokic and Murray (27.7 ppg), the Nuggets have two of the top nine scorers in this postseason. Butler (28.5) is seventh. ... Miami’s bench has outscored its opponents by 213 points in the postseason. ... The Heat lost their past two home games after winning their first six of the postseason.

Prediction: Denver is a nine-point favorite in Game 1, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. But with the Nuggets perhaps rusty since finishing off the Lakers on May 22, the Heat may have another chance to open with a road win. Even if they do, this time it won’t matter. Jokic and Murray are on too much of a roll to be stopped now. It took Denver a long time to get to the NBA Finals, but it will be worth the wait. Nuggets in 6.

Ngek.  The coach who despite having loads of talent at his disposal eh he still managed to underperform.

Utusan mo ba naman si Ayton na bantayan si Giannis at Joker mag isa eh ewan ko na lang.

Sabagay under perpetual rebuild naman ang DET so I think they got the right coach in developing their talent. Si Monty ang nag develop sa mga younglings ng PHO before they were shipped out in various trades.

[stevesonk]

umayaw na eh sa unang offer, iba talaga si tom gores.., "i'LL give you an offer you can't refuse.., it's either your signature or your f*ckin' brain in this contract" 

[synchro_01]

Mahusay naman sa talent development si Monty.  Questionable lang talaga mga defensive strategies nya when asked to perform in the playoffs.

 

[stevesonk]

perfect fit for a young team in process of developing players, hoping to clinch a play-in tournament, but i still prefer charles lee (asst.coach in milwaukee) maybe tom gores want big names in his team to attract free agent players for LCA to be filled, we hope for the best..
or maybe arn tellem is the guy who pursuade him..
