Even with the Heat trailing 2–1 in the NBA Finals to the Nuggets, Kendrick Perkins is sticking with his original pick to raise the Larry O’Brien Trophy.
In an appearance on ESPN’s First Take Friday, Perkins doubled down on the Heat to win it all and seemed awfully confident in his choice, saying he’s “not worried at all” despite the deficit Miami currently faces heading into Game 4.
“The Heat are going to win this series. … The series is 2–1, and the one thing we should understand about this Heat team is that they’re not afraid of going on the road and winning games,” Perkins said. “After they win this game tonight, the series is going to be tied 2–2.”
