Liked how the Nuggets responded to that stretch of horrible officiating at the start of the 4th quarter.

Seems like the Heat just don't have enough in this series after a legendary playoff run.

the Heat have no one to matchup v. Murray

While it annoys me to no end that the Heat always come back down to earth after they beat my team it was an all time impressive run. The talent doesn't even remotely match the results.

What an intense 2nd half. Just two teams giving it their absolute all.

Not really sure what the refs saw with that Butler replay review but it ended up not mattering.

Did anyone else see the nuggets owner being interviewed during the trophy presentation?

Why was he talking to Lisa Walters’s ear? Where did he think the mic was?

I actually think this needs to be looked at some more (it won't be).

The commentators were sure it would be overturned, everyone who saw the clear as day video footage was sure it would be overturned, yet the 3 professional refs just decide "Nah, let's make the game more interesting".

Mark Jackson even half joked that he could make a case for a flagrant for Jimmy for kicking Gordon in the nutsack, which is obviously crazy, but still how the fuck doesn't that get turned over?

I'm no conspiracy theorist for the ref's and tend to think the ref's screw everyone over more or less evenly, but seriously where is the explanation for that foul standing? That one to me can only be explained by the refs wanting to spice the game up. Which is a real shit situation if that is the case.

Miami were amazing this play-offs and should absolutely hold their heads high. Never gave up and played hard AF. Props.

prob so high on adrenaline and angel dust he thought she was just another night club tramp he needed to talk to over the music

Every challenge should be reviewed back in New Jersey by a panel of 3-5 officials. Give them a time limit of 2 minutes. Majority vote wins. Make things more consistent.

Kitchener's own!

I told my oldest that they weren't going to overturn that call and he was incensed. There would have to be zero contact for them to admit they got it wrong.

This one is for you, Alex English

[spike]

Still 11 franchises that haven’t won it all.

[Monkey_Driven]

The whole "first Western Conference team outside of CA and TX to win it all since the Sonics" thing is pretty crazy until you realize the Spurs/Lakers/Warriors have won a total of 20(!) of those titles.

[Farmer John]

I'd probs be staying quiet on that one tbh.

I like to share that if only to break the stereotype that we're all nice and polite.

Glad the Heat dodged that bullet.

Sucks to be Chris Paul except for, you know, all the money

Wow, there's a legit Jaylen Brown rumor about a sign and trade on Twitter from an account that gets it right.
