The Double Double

Conference Finals Thoughts - Heat and Nuggets Lead 3-0, Chaos In Boston + Finals Talk


Listen Later

The Conference Finals have not gone the way almost anyone would have been able to expect. The Denver Nuggets have been a great team all season, but a 3-0 lead is definitely unexpected especially given AD's 29/14 averages through these first 3 games. The Nuggets have played incredibly as a team, and Jamal Murray is showing the league the ceiling he can hit in the playoffs. In the East, the Heat have surprised the world by taking a 3-0 lead over Boston, who look demoralized and without an answer for the Heat role players. Jimmy Butler had an excellent game 1, but the play of their undrafted players has been incredible, and they have beaten the Celtics handily as a team. The future of the Celtics seems a bit less certain, as the Jays will be set to be paid a combined $600 million in their next supermax contracts. The Heat and Nuggets will be a very entertaining NBA Finals despite the conversation that's been had about poor ratings. These teams are excellently run and the way they play the game is just fun to watch. We will be back with more playoff content as these series get wrapped up. Enjoy!
