Jimmy Butler showed up in plush blue slippers Thursday for what was officially called practice.
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic listens to a question during a post game news conference after Game 3 of the NBA Finals basketball game against the Miami Heat, Thursday, June 8, 2023, in Miami. – Jimmy Butler showed up in plush blue slippers for what was officially called practice. Kyle Lowry was trying to distract him during an interview session. Nikola Jokic continued to say how he doesn’t care about statistics. Jamal Murray talked about all the fun he’s having.
“They are one move, we are another move,” Jokic said. “I think this is the time where the players show what they’ve got.” And all of those 2-1 series leaders lost the finals. It’s happened that way six times in the last 10 instances, seven times in the last 14 instances going back to Miami’s rally past Dallas in 2006. A 2-1 series lead used to be automatic — from 1979 through 2005, there were 22 instances of a team going up 2-1. All 22 of those teams went on to win the title. But starting with the Heat in 2006, that 2-1 lead hasn’t meant a whole lot.
