After the G1 game of the NBA Finals, the Internet was full of all kinds of abuse against the Heat. The biggest factor is that the previously fierce Heat suddenly lost when facing the Nuggets. It can be said that one Gordon dominated the Heat's basket, and it is not an exaggeration to use one person to blow up the whole team. Not to mention the cooperation between Murray and Jokic, which left the Heat players without any parrying. Not to mention the core player Butler, who basically has no desire to attack at all. So it was only natural for G1 to lose.
In response to such a crushing defeat in the first game of the Heat, many Heat players suddenly missed James. Even many people said: if only the Big Three were there.
To be honest, James led the Heat all the way and basically the top few in the league in terms of overall strength. If James is still in the heat now, I am afraid that the overall strength will improve another level. But we all know that there was a big conflict between James and the owner Riley, which was also the biggest reason for James to leave the Heat.
It is worth mentioning that in a recent interview, Heat boss Riley said something like this:
One of the biggest players complained to me about coach Spoo and threatened me that he would leave if I didn't cut Spoo. I told him that his job was to play the ball well and that the coach could be fired, but he didn't need players to teach me how to do things.
The big name behind Riley is James, who has left the Heat since this incident.
To be honest, the fact that the Heat lost a game doesn't mean they don't have a chance. As Butler said in an interview, the Nuggets' highland home is terrifying. The biggest reason why the team lost was due to the weather, and there was no way to lose on the plateau.
So what do you think about the Heat and Nuggets G2 game?
