We will have to see how Frank Vogel will fit on the Suns roster. What he had to bring though is that he has the championship experience, specially handling stars. So he might bring a fresh set of mindset amongst the Suns team as they are in a disarray with so much drama as well. For sure, maybe Ayton is willing to stay for at least a year.

As for the game 1 result, I'm sure majority is not surprised on how dominant the Nuggets inside and outside. Aaron Gordon seems to be enjoying his first finals appearance and wanted to make the best out of this experience.

If the Heat players keep shooting like they did in Game 1, they won't have a chance to win the Finals series. Just look at their stats. Strus missed all 10 of his shots, Martin scored only 1 of 7, and Robinson scored 1 of 6. If these players had scored at least half of their shots, the outcome of the first game might have been different. So it seems to me that the Heat needs to think not only about stopping Jokic but also about not screwing up on offense once again.

game 1 was simply a game with an expected outcome, the bookmakers also already gave the Nuggets as the favorite and the odd itself already showed that this would be a game in which the Nuggets would win without having too many difficulties, the game data are very clear about the dominance of the Nuggets, in the first period the Nuggets won by a difference of 9 points, in the second period when one could expect some reaction from the Heat, there was not, they lost by a difference of 8 points, in the third period again the heat lost again, but this time they lost by a small difference of points, they were only 4 points apart and already in the fourth quarter heat recovered and they won by a difference of 10 points

even with this heat victory in the fourth quarter it is not convincing that in game 2 they will be able to obtain a better result which in this case would be a victory, on the contrary I see the Nuggets coming into game 2 with more determination to crush the heat and so I will follow the bookmakers who are giving the Nuggets as the most likely winner in game 2 and with that odd of @1.25 it is something very difficult to see any surprises, so I think that the Nuggets will win this game, no I see the heat managing to stop the Nuggets

Yep, that's how the first game ended, Aaron Gordon has all the mismatch in that game and it seems he is enjoying every bit of it against his smaller defender. Not only Lowry but even Jimmy Butler try to guard Jokic, and the double team was kinda late as Jokic using his court vision was able to spot the open man for a good 3 point shot percentage.

That's why it's a total shock for the Heat in game 1, they didn't expect this kind of game from the Nuggets. Maybe because they are used on the East kind of play. But Denver has so many offensive weapons in this game that it seems the Heat lost the game in the first 3 quarters already. So hopefully knowing how good coach Spo on making adjustments, we will see what is their game plan next.

It's not overreacting, it's the fact of what we've seen in game 1 and don't get me wrong I have heard about these "adjustments" already since the Lakers was overwhelmed with how strong the Nuggets is. We all even thought the Lakers have figured out how to beat Nuggets by putting a clamp on Jokic, we thought  Rui was the Laker's x factor in defeating the Nuggets but everyone is wrong. Jokic is just a very good basketball player with a high IQ. I'm not under estimating coach Spo and the Heat, I am just appreciating how monstrous Jokic and Murray and the whole Denver squad this year. Also, the Nuggets may not have to make "A LOT" of adjustments because the Heat simply cannot stop Jokic. Again, that's a fact, not overreacting.

I watch a sports show daily called TheHerd on FS1. They posted an interesting stat about Denver and Miami. Since the bubble year, Denver is 13-2 vs Miami. Jimmy Butler and Bam are going to really have to play hard to have a shot in this series.

I also like the fact that Monty Williams picked up a job within a month. Very good coach IMO. I don't know if it was his coaching or players egos in Phoenix.

I don't know what the management of the Phoenix Suns want because they have fired a great coach like Monty Williams while he was in charge the Phoenix Suns have always performed quite well in every NBA event.
But now Monty Williams has signed a new contract with the Detroit Pistons and is the most expensive coaching contract in history.
I'm sure Monty Williams can do quite well and turn the Detroit Pistons into an even greater team.
It looks like later if the Detroit Pistons can develop properly under the tutelage of Monty Williams then Phoenix will surely regret what he did for the dismissal of Monty Williams.

That's how it is though, the first casualties will be the coach because they are the face of the team and every moved the coach make really affects the team itself. Just like in this case, they have taken the risk to get Durant in return of their good players going into the Nets. And this might not set good with some of their players though, in my opinion.

And it's good to see Monty finding a new home, I think he will rebuild Detroit Pistons, it has the potential to be great, young players, just needed someone that could mentor them and bring the best of each players. For sure the future is bring for the Pistons now.

I’m not sure how I feel about the Phoenix Suns signing Frank Vogel to a multi year deal. They desperately needed a new coach and I think Vogel is a great guy who did great things with the Pacers (and even the Lakers in the bubble), but his ending with the Lakers was pretty bad. He’ll have to prove himself but he’ll have the roster to do it.
