    Default Do you think Miami has a chance against Denver?

    I'm thinking Denver in 5, it's just not a good match-up. Miami has had a much easier road to get to the finals , beating the Bucks with an missing or likely limited Gianis , the Knicks and a Celtics team who have a rookie coach and seem to lack roster depth compared to last season. Denver on the other hand beat a good Wolves team , Booker and KD, and a red hot Lakers team.

    I think the key guy is Jamal Murray. Is he going to dominate or will the Heat stop him? Can Butler defend him well? I am leaning towards Nuggets in 6 but this will be a great series. Spo is the better coach. Heat have a slightly better bench but Nuggets have a better starting 5. It should be a fun one.

    Butler would be guarding KCP and Brown though.
    Also Denver's wings Porter and Gordon have have size.

    The Kings took the Warriors to 7, the Knicks beat the Cavs, the Lakers beat the Grizzlies, the Heat beat the Bucks and Celtics.

    I think anyone has a chance against anyone this year.

    This.

    Butler should be able to give Murray enough trouble and Bam should be able to bully Jokic a bit.

    I have Denver winning, but it would surprise me if Heat couldn't at least get a homecourt win or two.

    People still underrating Miami

    Denver should be favored and deservedly so but I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the Heat win it all. They have a chip on their shoulder, they're gritty and mentally tough. They're great in close games...I won't predict in how many games but I really like the Heat's chances.

    Absoutely NOT. Miami couldn't beat Phoenix or the Lakers either.

    I think Denver in 5 as well but I don't think Miami had an easier road to the finals.

    Denver's size will be tough for Miami to deal with, plus home court will be a factor and the Nuggets have that advantage

    Maybe I'm wrong, but the heat seem like they are getting by with a lot of smoke and mirrors, I will gladly play them over Boston.

    Unhappy Re: Do you think Miami has a chance against Denver?

    Sure.

    They’re very well coached, very well disciplined, and have great chemistry.

    But they were already small with Love.

    Now they’re even smaller, especially on the glass, without a healthy Love.

    So yes… but …

    …. It’s just not a very good chance.

    Facing the Heat in the finals seems easier than getting furniture from Frankie and Johnny's , Let heeer have it

    Hahah yeah.

    Denver might be a legit mismatch, but the Heat has been surprising in the playoffs overall.
