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.
It's a Cinderella story for the Heat. No one expected them to reach this level, yet they have made it to the NBA Finals. It's not just Jimmy Butler; many undrafted players have helped him achieve success. Players like Gabe Vincent and Caleb Martin have been consistently productive on both the defensive and offensive sides.
I have a feeling that what the majority is expecting may not actually happen. They believe it's a mismatch, but we might witness a very interesting series. Who knows, Miami might once again surprise the majority of us.
Jimmy Butler on Playoffs is a monster. I don't believe in the mismatch when Heat matchup with a strong team because they beat the top 1 and 2 seeds in their conference. They are really strong! They are just underrated because most of the Heat roster is undrafted and not top pick in NBA draft but overall, They have the same balance line-up with Nuggets with the same main star that is thirsty for a championship. I doubt that Nuggets can get an easy win with a team that shows resiliency in all of their matches despite they are always the underdog. I will still bet to Heat on Game 1 but with a handicap since they are on Nuggets home.
I really feel that this is a close fight not an easy match as most people expect.
