By progressing this far in the NBA playoffs, the Miami Heat stunned the whole basketball world, but the Denver Nuggets are unlike any opponent this squad faced in the East. The Nuggets have found their stride under Nikola Jokic’s leadership, playing as a cohesive unit wholly committed to the game plan.
The Joker dominated in Game 1 in the manner of old, and Miami could not stand up to him. The Heat will need to change and hope for a different outcome on Sunday because they are currently behind the series 1-0. Jimmy Butler is not in the business of offering explanations, anyhow.
Being the underdog is nothing new for the Miami Heat club, but no one is choosing them to defeat the Denver Broncos, who are superior in almost every way. However, if the Heat start making shots once more, things might get interesting. Butler will also need to increase his attacking effectiveness.
According to Charles Barkley, the Miami Heat’s journey to the title would be the best run by an underdog in history. Jimmy Butler undoubtedly recognizes the chance that is in front of him as he is only four victories from a championship. It would be a pity for it to end like way without a meaningful fight after all the effort put into securing this season and making this playoff run.
This weekend, expect Miami to play with a lot of grit because another defeat of this magnitude might eventually be the one that seals the deal.
