    there might be a rematch next season, if the Heat trade Lowry/Herro/picks for Lillard.

    Love the nuggets. I knew they were going to be the real deal years ago

    I don't see a guy coming back from injury (most likely too soon) being enough to make up the difference between what we've been seeing and the Heat winning this game. I guess we'll see soon enough though. Denver is an 8 point favorite tonight. Vegas has the Nuggets between a -335 and -355 favorite on the money line which means they project them as having better than a three to one chance to win tonight.

    Zeller getting 4th quarter minutes in a do or die finals game is a bold decision

    Had Boston finished off Miami in Game 7, everyone would be so high on Butler and down on Bam. I'm guessing after the finals, some will overreact in the other direction.

    This may be the case with other guys coming off exceptionally good or bad series. Buy low, sell high!

    No question that the playoffs are officiated differently.
