On Monday night, everything will be on the line for the Miami Heat as Jimmy Butler and company try to avoid being eliminated in the NBA Finals by the Denver Nuggets at Ball Arena.
The Nuggets have a 3-1 lead coming into tonight’s game in Denver, and all signs point to Nikola Jokic leading the team to victory and winning the franchise’s first NBA title.
However, the Heat are as resilient a team as we’ve ever seen in the NBA playoffs and can never be counted out in a situation like this, especially considering they’ve already won one game in the Mile High City in this series.
That said, this series might not end tonight, with the Heat still having a chance to pull off another miracle in the playoffs.
NBA legend Charles Barkley believes that if the Heat can win tonight and ultimately win the series, it will be the greatest postseason run in NBA history via NBA on TNT.
If the Miami Heat can accomplish a comeback and win the #NBAFinals, will it be the greatest run in NBA history? 🤔
Chuck thinks so.

With the Heat being the underdog every step of the way and being the first Play-in Tournament team to make it to the Finals, Barkley might have a point, as it will be an incredible accomplishment for Miami to pull off this upset and win a title.
However, it will take a lot to make this happen, with the Heat needing to overcome a Nuggets team that hasn’t been fazed by any team they’ve faced in the postseason thus far.
Jokic is playing like a man possessed, and Jamal Murray isn’t far behind him as he’s making up for the time he missed over the last two years.
Although it seems like only a matter of time before the Nuggets win this series, it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that the Heat still have enough left to do the impossible.
