@on3 @JesseReSimonton So the guy who was considered by many the front runner before an injury at the very end of the season is gonna fall off so hard to not even contend but somehow his QB in a Jim Harbaugh offense is going to the ceremony. They really let anybody have a sports media job these days.

@HoopMuse @nuggets @StephenCurry30 @Giannis_An34 @KDTrey5 @KingJames @WarriorsMuse @BucksMuse @espn @NBAonTNT @NBA No question it's Giannis and I'm a LeBron fan who thinks guys like Giannis are a little overrated, but that series he was like something from another planet.

@Noahpinion Incredible how much ignorance there is of history that simply calling the two by different names can lead a majority to believe they are different, but I doubt 90% of the people who believe that could make an intelligent case about where one ended and the other began.

[Midnight Ride @MidnightRideYC]

@LegionHoops Dude is a great passer and shooter for a center but he's not even top 10 on defense right now let alone all time. He's also going to fall off a bit when the NBA isn't jonesing for a white star and letting him get away with murder on the boards.

[Midnight Ride @MidnightRideYC]

@BadSportsRefs Because there's contact while he's in the air the only way it can not be a foul is if Butler's kick out isn't natural to the shooting motion and it clearly is when you watch the play in context. Unfortunate spot for Gordon but not really anything there to overturn it.

[Midnight Ride @MidnightRideYC]

Everybody is going to blame Jimmy for underperforming this series and ignore Spoelstra stubbornly rolling with a starting lineup that never scored more than 26 and lost 7 of 10 in 1st and 3rd quarters. Handcuffed his own offense by refusing to adjust with Herro out. #MIAvsDEN

[Midnight Ride @MidnightRideYC]

These announcers are out of control. I wouldn't have been shocked to see that call overturned but that leg kick is not extreme or unnatural for a shooter moving sideways. #MIAvsDEN

[Midnight Ride @MidnightRideYC]

The Heat offense is so terrible the Nuggets are double teaming Duncan Robinson, so Spo replaces him with Max Strus who misses half his layups. I can't with this guy right now. #MIAvsDEN

[Midnight Ride @MidnightRideYC]

Erik Spoelstra giving Cody Zeller his first minutes to start off the 4th quarter up 1 #MIAvsDEN

[Midnight Ride @MidnightRideYC]

If this were the Dolphins vs. Broncos I think we'd still describe this officiating as "letting them play". #MIAvsDEN

[Midnight Ride @MidnightRideYC]

Weird how literally everyone but Erik Spoelstra can see that his starting lineup is absolute garbage on offense and he keeps forcing his team to play from behind or lose leads by running this clown show out every 1st and 3rd quarter. #MIAvsDEN

[Midnight Ride @MidnightRideYC]

Nuggets fans are sure the refs are against them meanwhile Jokic still getting away with this kind of nonsense all night. He's just a lazy white Draymond Green if Draymond were 5 inches taller and could shoot.

[Wildes @kevinwildes]

No call but Joker flirting with a flagrant

[Midnight Ride @MidnightRideYC]

@W4ntedJay Bro his body was on the way up that's part of the shooting motion.

[Midnight Ride @MidnightRideYC]

That foul Lowry took was clearly a shooting foul. 2 or 3 point swing right there. For all the complaining about close calls going against the Nuggets, it's been the calls that got missed against them down the stretch of the 2Q that have kept them from getting blown out. #MIAvsDEN

[Midnight Ride @MidnightRideYC]

Even when the Heat are getting a favorable whistle to extend the series Jokic still gets away with elbowing dudes in the neck and shoving on every contested rebound. Don't think I've ever seen a star with a lazier game. #MIAvsDEN

[Midnight Ride @MidnightRideYC]

Nuggets fans losing their minds over the refs finally calling one game for the Heat the same way they've been calling it for the Nuggets all series up till now is my jam. #MIAvsDEN

[Midnight Ride @MidnightRideYC]

That's a bad call on Murray, but call it a makeup for the two hand shove he gave Robinson on the other end that went uncalled. #MIAvsDENDuncan

[Midnight Ride @MidnightRideYC]

Erik Spoelstra watching his starters miss a dozen shots in a row (again) with Duncan Robinson on the bench vs. Mike Malone watching his small lineup get cooked by Bam Adebayo with Thomas Bryant on the bench. #MIAvsDEN

[Midnight Ride @MidnightRideYC]

@MiamiHEAT Somebody get ahold of Spo. The Nuggets can't be shut down. They have to be outscored. Your only win is also the only game you topped 100 points and 35% from 3. Giving Duncan 15-20 minutes off the bench when it's already over to start guys like Max and Gabe simply won't cut it.
