Denver, the media & the public thought Nuggets sh*t don't stink....judging the series & a fatigued Heat team from 1 gm. Everybody thought the series was over & Heat going to be swept. Series was far from over. Miami were yet to give their best punch. Well there's their punch & series just started!
Denver cool, calm, stress free & overconfident after game1. Malone now in the locker room stressed as f*ck telling the team they somehow now have to get back home court advantage in Miami lol.

Ref stats meant absolutely nothing. There was nothing in those records and stats individually or collectively that mattered. They seemed to be on Denver the 1st half & Miami looked to be in trouble. I almost turned my tv off as i've seen this bad movie before. but 2nd half Zarba and crew started to give Heat the calls & they helped bring it home. I thought it wld have been a Heat blowout had they not intervened as Miami were coming for their throats & shooting lights out w/ a quick 11-0 lead.
The Miami win was a good middle finger to the media and majority who thought this sh*t was over. That it was going to be a sweep. Denver too tall, too deep, too talented blah blah. F*ck outta here. Heat beat the taller and more experienced Bucks, Beat a taller and more experienced Boston squad & also a taller and more talented Knicks team. They let 1 game determine Miami & the series & Denver ate that sh*t up and were over confident. Now look wtf happened when Miami got their legs under them.....48.6% from 3 & 48.7% from the field. Take ya brooms and shove them...

This game 3 is a crucial game. When the NBA Finals have been tied 1-1, the winner of Game 3 has gone on to win the series 32 out of 40 times (80%). Winner of gm3 only has to win 2 of 4 games while gm3 loser will need to win 3 out of 4 games.
I Expect Tony Brothers to be assigned gm3. If i can remember Brothers, these playoffs, has been sent to help either end series or win games for the team that eventually wins the series. Only 2 times these PO's did Brothers ref and the winner in that particular game did not win the series and that was in the PHX/DEN & LAL/GSW series where PHX & GSW won those games. Brothers has pretty much ref'd every series apart from 1 or 2 (i think, will have to recheck). If Brothers is sent in it will be interesting if this pattern will continue to hold true. Foster was just sent in 3 games ago in gm7 Bos/Mia series. I think he'll be sent in a little later for another crucial game to either extend or help end the series - i predict game 5 or game 6 (i have this going 6 games).
Since i have Miami for the series i'm most likely going to play Heat regardless who they send. But if Brothers is ref'ing i'm more confident w/ Miami.

Denver turns up for gm1s. The following gm that winning margin shrinks significantly.
Gm3 @MIN: 120-111 ..... 9pt win
Gm3 @PHX: 114-121 ..... 7pt loss
Gm3 @LAL: 119-108 ..... 11pt win
= GM3: Ave 10pt win
As we saw gm2 winning margin for Nuggets shrinks significantly. Losing outright to Miami & for the 1st time losing a gm2 these PO's.
Denver winning margin goes up frm gm2 by couple of pts for gm3.....then win or lose shrinks significantly to 4.3pts for gm4's. The only difference this time round is Denver isn't traveling on the road to a gm3 up 2-0. Series is tied w/ pressure on them to try & steal home court back. If Denver wins it's most likely by 10+pts seeing how dangerous Miami are in the 4Q's....anything less in Miami cld mean a Heat win.
Miami's gm3 a total contrast. They've been all blowout wins.
Vs Bucks: 121-99 .... 22pts
Vs NY: 105-86 .... 19pts
Vs BOS: 128-102 .... 26pts
= Ave 22.3pts
Heat sure do love being back home. First home games for Miami, that crowd's rockin'....Heat players get to rest, see their families, bone their wives, GF's & side pieces & eat some home cooking. Remember Miami have not been home since May 29th as they flew str8 to Denver from Boston. That's a week & 3 days away from home. Miami also didn’t get to play on their home court for Finals in the bubble, This will be the first home Finals match since 2014.
I'll be back in about 12hrs to do ref stats.

Big game. Winner wins it all. First game for Miami at home & first finals game since 2014. Miami were fortunate to take 1 game in Denver considering their bodies were still rejuvenating from the 7gm series. 2 days well needed rest is huge for the team. The crowd will be loud & Heat will feed off that energy. All pressure on Denver to answer back. They've never been tested so we get to see what they're made of. For me Miami are the more tougher and tested team. They have history & scars in the finals. Nuggets are newbies, have not gone through heartache, just doesn't bode well for them. They still gotta earn their right to hold that trophy. Miami has earned it. They've toppled the top two teams w/ what they have. Took a game in Denver already when nobody else has.
As we speak ref assignment just released and as predicted, yet again, Brothers is indeed assigned for this game. I've no time to do the stats now but as i mentioned Brothers helps end series for the team that eventually wins it all. Since i have Miami winning it i believe the right play here is Miami Heat.

Not sure this is how the temperature in the locker room is — these guys are pros, they know what it takes to win a playoff series and how difficult it is to win a title. Malone said after their game 1 win that they hadn’t won anything yet. Stressed as fu*k likely not the vibe in the Nuggets camp. Should they lose game and are suddenly behind in the series, having to play a game 4 in miami would call for a more stressed vibe. Just my two cents.

Fukkk, im blinded by Denver, i already feel like im losing tonight

Brothers: Home 5 - Road 6
Tiven: Home 6 - Road 4
Scott: Home 4 - Road 2
= Home 15 - Road 12
Brothers: MIA 3-0 - DEN 1-1
Tiven: MIA 1-1 - DEN 2-1
Scott: MIA 2-0 - DEN -
= MIA 6-1 - DEN 3-2
Brothers & Scott ref'd gm6 of MEM/LA series. LA won @ HOME by massive 40pt blowout to close the series 4-2
Brothers & Scott ref'd gm3 of MIA/BOS series. MIA won @ HOME by 26pt blowout to put Miami up 3-0
This is what i wrote about Brothers & crew in gm3 Bos/Mia series:
"From what i see they're sent opposite to Foster extending series - These refs help end series for the team that's up. Home/Road stats aren't substantial perhaps because it's not about road/home for these refs but about ending the series for the fave team or team that's up wether they're on the road or home."
And as i stated above:
"If i can remember Brothers, these playoffs, has been sent to help either end series or win games for the team that eventually wins the series. Only 2 times these PO's did Brothers ref and the winner in that particular game did not win the series and that was in the PHX/DEN & LAL/GSW series where PHX & GSW won those games."
Apart from those 2 games mentioned Brothers has pretty much ref'd in every other series. & every other game the team that won when he ref'd won the series.
So if you take the ref stats by face value you'd take MIA @Home in a Blowout. We know that the league are not making things as obvious or blatant as they used to. And i've generally gone against these obvious plays. But i'm riding this one out simply because i believe Miami will win the series.
I just saw line move up a whole point. Love this movement. Everybody on Denver as predicted. And why wouldn't they. Public think no way Denver, the better, deeper, more talented team, would never lose 2 in a row, especially since they consider them to be road dogs. Sets up for public bloodbath.
