Great to see that the Heat have come to play. Plenty of whistle in the first half, but so far credit where credit's due - the Nuggs are going to have to work for this.

There were some good looks in those 15 that just didn't drop. The Nugs looked shaky, but the Heat should have capitalised further than they did. Not being up by 10 or more at the break could cost...

You can sense the nervousness around Nuggets tonight. Just one 3 point shot in the first half? I think they need to calm their nerves and they can still seal it tonight. It’s only a 7 point deficit.

Agreed they could’ve done better and I’ve seen some great halftime shows in my time (they could’ve showcased a local step or dance team for example, love when they do that) but it really isn’t about that (to me). I’d be trying my damndest to get a beer/food and not miss a thing.

I followed NBA largely because of Michael Jordan. After so many years, I lost an emotional connection to the sport, even though I appreciate it. When a game is on, I have no idea who I'm supposed to root for. And live NBA games are currently free on YouTube for my region!
Any tips on how I can pump myself to watch the game(s)?

If you’re not a fan of any particular team, just read up a little about Nikola Jokic (he plays for the Nuggets). He was a second round pick in the draft but I feel he has been under rated thus far in his NBA career. He has been significant in getting Nuggets to the finals & has put some impressive numbers in the finals so far!

Jokic should stop passing the ball when he's in the post. He should start cooking the defense.
Definitely time for it. Bam let alone any other Heat defender can't stop him when he backs him down
I've been going to Nuggets games since 96. I never thought we'd ever get this close.
You’ve got me beat by a couple years. I’ve only been waiting 23 years for this moment… I wish I could’ve been there tonight.
Congratulations.
Looking forward to the Nuggets winning their first finals series - wish I could have somehow been in Denver tonight :)
Exciting series so far. Hopefully, it goes all the way to game 7!
I'm rooting for the nugs, but am also rooting for a game 7
Denver 1/15 on threes in the first half. They should stop chucking treys and score in the paint. They outsize the Heat.

Denver getting cold feet
Missing some shots they shouldn't be taking
Why have I never heard of Etsy being an NBA sponsor? Is this new?
Less than 50% from the line for the Nuggets, something you normally might only see in a college game
Aaron Gordon has been amazing last couple of games!
That block was so mean.
Congrats to the nugs, well played throughout the playoffs
NUGGETS ARE CHAMPS!
Nugs got this in the bag
Strus and Lowry doing their best to keep the Heat in Q1.
Kind of wild that Jokic missed MVP this year only to get FMVP instead.
Heat definitely aren't giving up, props for that
Nice that Porter started strong with the foul trouble for the Nuggets.
Some of these first half fouls are looking pretty suspect (from a neutral raptors flair perspective)
Miami clawing their way back to make this a series
As a 2010s-Bulls-fan, I'd love to see Jimmy get a ring here. What a finals performance that'd be. Long road to get there, though...
Sloppy scrambling by both teams to end the first half. Lowry is the GROAT. For the halftime show, a lady is riding a tall unicycle and balancing a whole bunch of bowls on her head. I would be upset if I paid $400 usd for this.

Jokic starting to get aggressive. Good move, he needs to take over. His team is too iffy.
Neither team is shooting well at all tonight, if anyone gets hot that could be the difference here
They're so sloppy
Denver isn't just shooting themselves in the foot, they're shoving their whole damn leg down the barrel. This is comical
Denver is 2 of 20 in threes. They are COLD.
Fourth quarter coming up! 71-70.
I think Denver will settle down and start hitting some of the shots. I expect Jokic to take over and finish this.
Kyle Lowry is unreal!
Both teams gone cold with 6 minutes left
This has become a street fight. Frantic, panicked, electric.
Great challenge that should get over turned.
Call stands!
RIGGED!
Jimmy just lost the heat the game

Freethrows and possession! YIKES!
I think this is it. 5 point lead and 14s left.
Yeah for sure. Terrible play by jimmy at the end
Miami with 8-0 run. Nikola, stop passing the ball.
What the hell is Stan talking into her ear for?
