This Makes The Nuggets UNBEATABLE! (IQ Level 999)

This is the system that makes Denver almost unbeatable. Watch what happens here as the Heat trap the pick and roll forcing Murray to give it up. And look at the quick reactions of Jokic first of all, who goes middle to engage Butler essentially leaving Gordon alone who will also cut to the basket.
All of that is well but as we let it roll, you still need a perfect lob pass which KCP absolutely delivers for the jam.
This is a small thing but watch this transition developing. Jokic calls for Jamal to get the ball as he sets a screen for him to hit the gas pedal and attack.
As that happens Bam helps and this could be just a flip back to Nikola who pops out.
But on the opposite side look at the activity by Gordon who doesn’t just stare at that pick and roll by instead dives inside occupying the middle of the paint. And with everyone corralled in the paint, Gordon finds Bruce Brown all alone at the three point line for a wide open look that he knocks down.
You see how the Nuggets are in a constant motion and every player knows that their teammates will find them.
And this is just a ridiculous example. Follow Jokic on the pick and roll as he gets the switch with the much smaller Vincent.
And on the turn, he sees 3 bodies right in front of him. So how in the world did he process all of that in a split second while seeing Gordon cutting and throwing him an alley oop pass for the dunk. This is unbelievable and I need to show you this in full speed to see just how quick this reaction is by Jokic. This is just beautiful basketball and now you see why they never stop moving. The pass will be there no matter the situation.
You notice that Gordon is involved in some way in all of these.
He had a phenomenal game with 27 points on an incredible efficiency. Making plays all around, whether it was punishing the mismatch- continuing to do it in this game as well, or this amazing pass to find Murray cutting inside.
Speaking of amazing, Bruce Brown right here takes it upon himself to drive through the entire defense and finish with this stunning up and under against one of the best defenders and shot blockers in the league.
He was in attack mode to help his team win a crucial game.
Watch him make plays with the ball in his hands going strong for this layup. Or at the end of the game hitting this shot plus the foul to put the game away for Denver.
He actually led all Nuggets in the second half with 16 points when it mattered the most.
Who would have thought that Jokic and Murray would combine for 38 points while Brown and Gordon will have 46 in this game.
You see right here how big of an advantage the Nuggets have when the role players can give them a game like this and that’s on the road.
On the flip side, Gabe Vincent and Max Struss were a complete no show for the second straight game, and with those points lacking for Miami, the loss was inevitable.
The Nuggets are just 1 win away from winning the title, and I don’t know what makes me say this, but I see Porter Jr finally exploding at home with a great game after a horrific finals series so far, to eventually help his team seal the deal.
Let me know if you see them closing it out or the Heat fight back to make it interesting.
Talk to you in the next one. Peace out.
