I don't think there are many players who can keep Jokic. I don't think Bam Adebayo can defend Jokic.
Denver Nuggets will be champions this year.
I think the series will end 4-2 or 4-1.
4-2 or 4-1 yeah that's most probably NBA fans are thinking right now. It feels like Miami Heat is underestimated again in this match up, but Denver is a much better team than the Celtics for sure. I'm curios about what percentage does the ESPN analytics are going to give the Heat this time. If they gave the Heat 3% against the Celtics, they might give the Heat like what 0.3% this time against the Nuggets? because like I said and majority will agree to it that the Nuggets it's a more explosive team than the Celtics. I don't see someone from the Heat who could put a clamp on Jokic and Murray. These 2 superstars are playing on another level that no one in the NBA today have ever played like them so far. Also, there is no lead that is safe for the Nuggets as long as there are time left in the clock. Murray or Jokic can heat up anytime at some point in the game even with a slow start. Saw it many times throughout the course of the post season.
I read similar predictions when the Heat played the Bucks, stating that no one can stop Giannis. However, in reality, the Heat did a great job on him, resulting in a big win for the Miami Heat. On paper, it may seem obvious that the Nuggets would dominate, but at the moment, there's nothing I can criticize about the Heat as they have reached this level of competition from being the 8th seed in the regular season.
You may be right about this, but it won't mean much if you take precautions only for Jokic on the team.
Because Denver's roster is very very better than the Miami Heat.
That's my opinion.
