Nuggets vs. Heat Game 2️⃣ breakdown with The Lowe Post & The Hoop Collective 🏀

[@cmann517]

Woj knew Chris Paul was getting waived 😂 29:58

[@dereksupernaut]

in the playoffs, Jimmy Butler's Points (27) & Assists (5.9) with low Turnovers (1.9) is an awesome combination... fax!!!

[@Fl01892]

yeah send that fax

[@jarrods2932]

Zach: here’s all the reasons and statistics why the “make Jokic a scorer” is a dumb narrative Brian: no actually I like the dumb narrative

[@coreypnorris]

When did Duncan Robinson learn to dribble?

[@skatedurr]

[@PensFan35]

Played point guard in high school and the junior/d3 college he went to so there’s *some* experience there but he’s definitely spent most of his career playing the 2

[@djb3389]

Been dribbling the ball between his legs on the bench all year man got comfortable

[@WhereIsYourID]

Hes always done this stuff its just easy to forget because he was completely out of the rotation this season.

[@darrengordon-hill]

​@D J B He Got Game 😂😂

[@theblackpuma9]

The Lowry foul on the 3 was one of the most clear fouls.

[@turhanuner]

Even JVG and Mark "What happened to the game I love" Jackson called that a foul, and that tells smthng

[@nolanireland2522]

Windy and Lowe are a great combo. Two best NBA voices at the company

[@TheGreatMaChao]

yooo just last week i was thinkin a windy lowe crossover would be great

[@arsonal5907]

The collab I didn’t know I needed it 🥰

[@itshiho]

This just shows how much better Jokic is than Embiid. Embiid tries his best to get 40+ to win MVP and Jokic efficiently and easily scores 40+ when he can't get his teammates more involved.

[@1800LUNATIC]

Heat got every call tonight. Refs really didn’t want a sweep

[@kreativepley5010]

Not true. Calls were 20-10 nuggets til very late in game.

[@shorewall]

@@kreativepley5010 But which were questionable calls?

[@turhanuner]

The Jokic 3pt foul call was horrible too. Bam didn't even touch him

[@blablablaa14]

Actually, and I am not 100% sure because we only saw it once, Bam lightly grazed Jokic with his forearm on that play. I think it was a big much to call a foul, but I can see what they thought they saw and you're not supposed to touch anyone when shooting

[@maknavickas]

He touched his arm after the shot was released but it was not enough to be a foul for sure.

[@arsonal5907]

Next time need to hear a “WELCOME TO THE LOWE COLLECTIVE OR THE HOOP POST”

[@mattwhitely1067]

So glad Bryan mentioned that the refing was ridicolous against nuggets in this game with those 5 out of bounds calls in a row going to maimi when 3 clearly were off miami and they were going to get blown out and then some 50/50 calls and the goal tending.. Miami closed well but the reffing put them in a position to be able to have the opportunity to close and win this game.. of course despite all of that the nuggets had a chance to win still

[@blablablaa14]

There was also a KCP 3 that shouldn't have happened cause he literally jumped on Gabe Vincent

[@JORE4203]

The two biggest head scratching ref moments this game were the offensive foul by jokic, and the Bam fouling Jokic on the 3

[@crnisinliha6960]

really? so clear goaltend and jimmy pass for 3 out of bounds are not up there? i agree about Jokics 3pt attempt (yes by the book he did not leave landing space, but a really really soft call)

[@emoneyizhereson]

@@crnisinliha6960 It was horrible both ways. Bam got fouled multiple times with no call, Caleb got hit in the head on a driving layup, Lowry called for the push-off against Jokic when Jokic and Murray both do similar moves while dribbling, etc. So many missed calls on both ends, but that's not what decided the game

[@teledanhogan4237]

Please explain how three possession calls, a goaltending call and a foot out of bounds call in the final minutes all going against the Nuggets didn’t affect who won the game?

[@congahydra9996]

If I were to guess, the refs had money on the Heat.

[@jean-mariepincemin8710]

3-4 officiating mistakes, plus 50/50 calls that went the Heat way... That's a lot for a 3 point outcome... 🤔

[@user-dc7um4pr3f]

The Tyler Herro question really is a tough one. If the Heat go down 2-0, it's a no brainer that you play him. That said the nice thing is that Strus and Caleb Martin were awful in game 1. They played well in game 2, but Tyler Herro could get some run and play terrible and at least he won't get blamed if they lose the series if he has one bad game.

[@robotclark]

I'm a LAL fan, but I love this Heat team, the play the game the way it's supposed to be played. I would love to see Jimmy Butler get a chip.

[@maknavickas]

This can be said for both teams though, both of them have very little stupid possessions compared to other teams.

[@xvc15]

It's brutal when you understand that this is the best level of refereeing you can have in the NBA. Literally one out of every three calls is wrong...

[@mattwhitely1067]

Yep those 5 out of bounds calls in a row in the 3rd qtr all going to miami when 3 clearly were off miami blew my mind

[@blablablaa14]

That's not true at all. Not sure who you are a fan of. But the refs aren't trying to decide this series. The NBA doesn't care about these teams

[@shorewall]

@@blablablaa14 They don't want a sweep, that's for sure.

[@mattwhitely1067]

@@blablablaa14 Its not like that though an extended series they know is a good outcome

There's a sayin' that goes... "The arrogant never see it comin'.".

Are the Heat not also “nicked up” Brian????

[@DD-sr9xm]

Nuggs pulled out 4 close games in a row vs the Lakers for the sweep. They have been living on the edge for a while and this one went against them. It all depends on how they respond.

[@darrengordon-hill]

Amen

[@iamthejolson]

The KCP foul on Lowry was a legit call and I’ve not seen anyone credible question it

[@mattwhitely1067]

The calls I question were 5 out of bounds calls in a row straight to miami when 3 were clearly off miami in the 3rd qtr where they were about to get blown out those 5 possessions kept them in the game and then the goal tending as well

[@michaelmaniloff9297]

@@mattwhitely1067 the foul on bam against jokic was an absolute joke, 2 freebie Free throws In the 4th when you couldn't score. Makes up for the goal tending.

[@sp3949]

@@mattwhitely1067 Take the L and gtfoh… Jokic is darling of Refs who don’t allow anyone to touch him while he can shove and back any defender on him… U folks don’t have any credibility to question calls… please eff off

[@darrengordon-hill]

​@Michael Maniloff Was destined to be a questionable game after Miami "only" got 2FTs... FAR more questionable calls made/not made in G2 than G1... For G2, people are actually providing examples, not "history/common occurence"...

[@michaelmaniloff9297]

@Darren Gordon-Hill so this is the loser coping im gonna hear when KCP, MPJ, and Murray underperform the rest of the series and the Nuggets lose. Got it. This is the coping im gonna hear when the Heat erase an 8 point 4th quarter deficit on the road. Cool. Cool.

[@c2jones]

No one gets more calls than Jokic. He pushes off constantly and rarely gets whistled. In game 1, he pushed someone down to the ground. No whistle. He also got away with hooking Duncan Robinson and pulling him to the floor. Meanwhile, a much smaller Robinson got called for merely having his arm extended while driving on Jokic. They have "the most talent" and the altitude and the "best player." They're the #1 seed and were far better rested coming into this series. The Heat were coming off a grueling 7 game series, sleeping at hotels for a straight week and now in the altitude, so fatigue is expected. Butler's ankle has been sore and his father is very sick. Caleb Martin has the flu. Herro was their leading scorer. Denver has no room to cry about anything.

[@matthewrutters6842]

Gtfoh. He's not been getting calls for years, and even now it's only all-star level treatment.

[@ulyssesperez7182]

The "crossover" 🏀 no one expected.

[@ChadAaron-w3f]

Loathe to talk about the officiating? Why? Because then you have to admit to yourself what a sham this league is? Refball is disgusting to watch, but when it can determine the outcome in the most important game of the season? Laughable league.

[@alanpeterkuyathanos6631]

if herro doesn't get hurt, heat don't have the cohesion and ball movement we've had all playoffs. that said coming off the bench, in select situations, we could use his shooting. SELECT situations. but why fiddle with a rotation that's working

[@dbrav727]

Heat had an even more off game 1 than the Nuggets did. Media has to stop acting surprised that their wide open shots started falling

[@andrewhernandez4446]

If heat win this series we need a Long Shot Pod revival/crossover

[@oskee305]

Denver is lucky to be not be down 0-2. If the Heat's shots would've dropped in game 1, boy o boy! Heat in 6!

[@Troll-vj6sy]

Or you the Heat played a near perfect game last night an won by just 3 points. Could easily be down 0-2. See how that works? Boy o boy

[@scottlarock7924]

I love you guys. One editorial note. I'm getting a little sick of the word resiliency when it comes to the Heat. Can we at least dip a little further into the vocabulary bag?

[@kellyhone2612]

Very upsetting how the refs handed the heat 5 points in the second half. Missing Jimmy Butler stepping out of bounds before assisting on a 3 pointer and Bam’s Goaltending on a floater in the 4th quarter.

[@JM-zs5ds]

Very upsetting how the refs handed Jokic 3 points on that phantom Bam foul and the Heat shot a NBA Finals record 2 FT's in Game 1.

[@bigd8919]

Nuggets fans are going to start sounding like Celtics and Bucks fans from now on. “They’re not getting another one” They are NOT shooting like this again” Both teams had better records then the Nuggets.. -Bucks 58 Wins -Celtics 57 Wins - Nuggets 53 Wins The Heat have beaten the better teams already.

[@GlenSmithsWorld]

Agreed 💯

[@user-pm4ko9uk8g]

Spo has been playing mind games with those better teams. And the players has all bought in to do whatever it takes to win. Playing selfless. Zone back to man to man then to zone. It’s crazy how fast they switch at great efficiency confusing the opposing team

[@julio3275]

Nuggets are obviously better than the Knicks, are better than the Bucks with an injured Giannis, and are better than the Celtics, who were a regular season team with an inexperienced coach. It's cute the Heat won a game and I'm happy for them, but this is a re run of the finals three years ago. A well coached, talented team that ends Miami's run. Barring an injury to jokic or murray, this series is over in 6, if not 5.

[@darrengordon-hill]

​@julio AI won G1 @ LAL... ... but he's most famous for stepping over Ty Lue... 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@Neofilmcritic]

Celtics and Bucks are NOT better than the Nuggets. Stop the 🧢

[@AGHathaway]

If Jokic has been playing as a scorer for 3 quarters, he never has the energy by the 4th quarter.

[@darrengordon-hill]

This!!! It's a LOT of dribbling and body contact that goes into those Jokic makes - THAT'S where the "wear and tear" is. Conversely, that "touch pass" to AG was effortless....
