Aaron Gordon on the Heat: “They fight. The scrap. They have no quit in them. They play fearless. They’re disciplined. They’re well-coached…we’re not looking at their seed or the story around it. All those guys have game, and we respect it.” – 4:10 PM

Thoughts on Nuggets-Heat:
– This is a matchup Denver should dominate
– Nikola Jokic will cook Bam Adebayo
– Jamal Murray could have a monster series
– Eric Spoelstra is scary in the playoffs
– Tyler Herro is the X-factor
– Aaron Gordon should be a good matchup on Jimmy Butler – 11:14 PM
