Heat opening tonight’s matchup vs. Nuggets with starting lineup of Rozier, D. Robinson, Butler, Jovic and Adebayo for the eighth straight game.
No Heat lineup has started more games together this season than this one. – 7:15 PM
Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
Very curious to see what the intensity level is like tonight for Nuggets-Heat. I do think Denver can sense the 1 seed is in play, and they know they will have to try harder against Miami than the last two matchups.
Still, Miami is tough always. – 7:13 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Heat again opening with a lineup of Bam Adebayo, Nikola Jovic, Jimmy Butler, Duncan Robinson,Terry Rozier. That lineup enters 3-4. By contrast, Denver’s starting lineup of Michael Porter Jr.. Aaron Gordon, Nikola Jokic, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Jamal Murray enters 31-9. – 7:00 PM

Michael Malone says an emphasis for the Nuggets is to get out in transition more. Scored just nine points on the break when these teams met in Denver. – 6:02 PM

Erik Spoelstra, when asked on how hard it is for teams to repeat as champion, as Denver is trying at the moment, “It’s been too long for me to even articulate.” – 5:51 PM

How tough is the West? Since Feb 5, the Celtics have the best record in @NBA at 13-2. The next 6 behind BOS all are in the West including the Mavs at 11-5 trailing NO, GS & DEN with OKC & LAL right behind. You play nearly 70% ball and you can’t gain ground. How sick is that? – 3:48 PM
