Denver Nuggets has been dominating the Miami Heat in the NBA finals, and this feed inside to Gordon really sums it all up. Who's been watching the NBA? Predictions for Monday?

    I predict Miami will try their darnedest to survive. While I am cheering for Jokic and the Nuggets, Miami has at least made most of the games competitive until the last quarter, so I won't count them out. I hope Denver closes it out in game 5 but I would not be surprised if it goes to game 6.

    Denver in 5 I think. Props to Miami for making the finals but they look gassed now.

      They made a serious mistake in not finishing off the Celtics. Nugs came in well rested while the heat were beat from the getgo

        Yep, and the Heats shooters all cooled off.

    I’ve only followed Denver since about 2014, and the idea that they’d be here to win the chip is still mind-blowing. I think those last 10 or so minutes of game 4 showed that Denver is as complete a unit as you could ask for as a coach or as a fan. A Nuggets win in 5 is oddly familiar - it draws parallels to the blowouts that regularly occur in our local AFL grand finals in Australia (go Cats!)

    I wouldn't have believed that Aaron Gordon would be the leading scorer in an NBA finals game. Jokic didn't even have that good of a game, and Murray had a really bad shooting night. I think Denver will take the series on Monday.

    It reminds me a lot of the Spurs vs Heat finals where the Spurs just completely outplayed Miami and whenever one player had a poor game, another player stepped up.

    People have constantly been burned counting the Heat out, but I think Q4 of game 4 was a lot different. Heat trying their best to close the 10-point gap while Jokic was out and not being able to - that's going to shake their confidence.
    I'm certain Spo has an answer for Gordon and the Heat will be ready for that specific scenario, but the Nuggets have proven to be flexible. They function as a whole unit and trust each other enough to change plans as the game unfolds. Nuggets in 5.

    I think it's over tonight unless Jimmy has one of those games. Happy to see Lowry contributing at least. Jokic, Murray, AG too good.

    I would have thought Denver finishes them off in 4, but I guess they wanted to lift the trophy at home.
