[Hoot Gibson]

If the NBA were rigged, then every championship series would feature teams from New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles to maximize the league's profits. Denver and Miami have played some of the best, most fundamentally sound basketball that you will see on any level during this year's NBA playoffs. 

Teams that trail 3-0 in playoff series are 0-150 in the history of the playoffs. Boston is more talented than Miami, but Miami has a much more experienced coach and the Heat has been the better team so far. 

If you haven't watched Denver play this season, then I encourage you to do so. Jokic and Jamal Murray are the best duo in the NBA. Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo are also a good duo, but they are not on the same level. I believe that the Nuggets will be too much for either the Celtics or the Heat. The Heat does not have enough size and depth to hang with the Nuggets and the Celtics lack the consistency and teamwork to beat Denver, IMO.
