Go heat
The Bucks won one game! Giannis played 2 games and the one they won was without him! I mean they beat them with him twice
Love JJs takes
Every media outlet is playing the Giannas injury card. He came back, had a triple double, then could’ve had 50 and 20 rebounds. Herro was actually injured and I haven’t heard it mentioned
Tommy nailed when he spoke about the heat playing 11 guys. Heat in 5 again!!! 🌟 🔥
Knicks in 4 🥱 this gonna be easier than the Cavs 🥱
Knicks in 4
Julius & Jimmy already barked at eachother during the season, this one will be exciting
The heat not beating the Knicks at all it’s gonna be a sweep
You’re a joker ? Who is guarding Jalen? Knicks are deeper with a better bench . Knicks in 6
Jrue Holiday (Voted by players the best individual defender in the NBA) All-NBA defensive 1st team and dpoy candidate.
Jimmy Buckets: “YOU CANT GUARD ME! I OWN YOU!” (37.6 ppg, 1.8 steals, 60% fg, 67% true shooting, 44% 3pt)
Coach thibs doesn’t make any in game adjustments too.
Brook Lopez wasn’t in for the last play because Erik Spoelstra baited Budenholzer by moving Bam to the bench. Budenholzer wanted to counter with speed instead of height because he assumed that the Heat where gonna run a quick catch and shoot with their best perimeter guys oinstead of the lob play. Basically got out coached. Coach dif
???????
What team would you coach given the opportunity JJ? And I’m taking either assistant or head coach.
As a Heat fan, im mostly worried about Mitchell Robinson and Josh Hart's offensive rebounding. This has been one of Miami's biggest weaknesses since the Finals run in 2020. Bam gets caught often on a switch and leaves the area under the basket free. Even more, after seeing how Allen and Mobley struggled with that , I hope coach Spo finds a way to limit that. Another thing that worries me is that the Knicks can be a way faster team than the Bucks and, they can get way more transition and fastbreak points.
Overall, I hope for a good series without any further injuries, can't see the series have less than 6 games.
interesting how JJ thinks lopez should of been on the court for that lob play but draymond green thinks he shouldnt have been on the court on the lob play (via draymond podcast)
7:14 kraccback meme channel ?
according to D. Green u have no basketball IQ cause he said its obvious that brook lopez should not be in the court LoL
Miami is War Ready. Everyone on that team has been through the trenches over that past 3-4 years. Heat in 6
Jimmy will cook as usual
What make the knicks so strong?
knicks in 5 we are going to destroy them in the boards everyone on Knicks gets rebounds not just Mitch
Dray said, that Brook wasnt on the floor because down to you sorta take a lucky 2 for OT rather than giving up a 3.
Knicks got this. Other than Jimmy our joes better than their joes. We deeper, we talented, we young or in prime. Thibbs makes me nervous about spo but it’s his time to rise too!!
Spoelstra tends to run one team philosophy during the regular season and then makes an adjustment right when the playoffs begin that turns the team into its true form. He does this so as to not give teams time to learn a way to stop them before the post season. In 2020 during their finals run it was moving Goran Dragic from 6th man to starting point guard, and this year it was making Bam the primary ball handler and placing for 4 shooters around him to kick out to, and when that’s not available, giving Jimmy the ability to free lance and attack in a variety of styles. Basketball is a 4 phase game and they are excellent at 3 and Jimmy covers half court offense by himself.
I think the fact that Jimmy played under Thibs in Chicago and Minnesota will also have some influence in this series. He's very familiar with his style and I think he'd like some type of revenge after what happened with the Wolves and how they portrayed him.
Go Heat🔥🔥
Knicks in 6
Draymon said on his podcast that if you think Brooke Lopez should of been in the game then you dont know basketball
Brook Lopez should've had the ball more offensively. He would've dominated that series easily. He finished that game with only 17 points after being dominant in the paint and then hitting his 3's. That was bad coaching by Bud all around the board.
Two different perspective and I agree with both, draymond said Lopez wasn’t on the floor because of possible 3pt but JJ said he should be on the floor. Interesting take. Bucks have never defended the 3 good we all know that, only when they got pj Tucker they did well. Heat will do fine against the Knicks. They’ve beat Joel embiid so many times and know how to deal with bigs
The one thing about the heat playing zone is, if Quickley and Brunson hit a couple 3's early, it could flip the game on its head. Quickley plays really well against the Heat for some reason. Gonna need to be physical with those guards at some point.
HEAT IN 5
Why is JJ boycotting the lakers, how can a basketball channel not talk about the most relevant team in the league.
Let's go Heat…
I got Miami winning this series
Miami in 6
