Are they more talented?
Stephen A Smith sleeps at ESPN 😂
0:28 *insert Westbrook meme
You see clearly how inept SAS basketball iQ (if he even has it as opposed to superstar hype riding) not even mentioning Coach Spo. You think Jimmy Butler with a bunch of undrafted dudes can make it all the way to ECF without Spos in-game genius adjustments and strategy?
I respect the Heat but if the Celtics lose it'll be a shame.
First heat player with 35 points and 6 steals. That’s such a random stat
Wow a team that's up 1-0 in the ECF is a team to be reckoned with. Scintilating analysis, right here (What's next, water is wet?)
Heat vs lakers would be stephen a smith dream match-up
Jimmy Butler walks in (shaft theme music playing)
Postseason home record of teams that are still in postseason:
Heat: 5-0
Lakers: 6-0
Nuggets: 8-0
Celtics: 4-4
The Celtics are going to have to start winning their home games if they have any chance at winning a championship.
Jimmy Michael Jordan Butler!!!
At this point, is it fair to say that Jimmy Butler DESERVES to win a ring??
Celtics have better talent than Miami but they ain't the better team. Major difference
6 steals is INSANE
Glad Jimmy getting respect he deserve
0:33 bro these questions makes me question nba reporters…a lot💀💀
3% ESPN
We don't forget and are keeping receipts
Again…
If Jimmy butler makes that 3 last year in game 7 Boston wouldn't have been in the NBA finals. Let's be honest Harden and Embiid gave up after game 6. Philly let Celtics blow them out because they knew they weren't making to the NBA finals so the 76ers gave up. That's real reason behind Tatum 50 point game. But Miami doesn't give up.
Amazing how winning changes everything beginning at the start of the play in games, experienced basketball 🏀 analysts, life long NBA fans didn't give the Miami Heat a chance in the 🌍 World, especially after Tyler Herro & Victor Oladipo went down…
They closed out the highly favored Milwaukee Bucks a convincing dramatic fashion 5 Games, the Knicks were supposed to beat this team of undrafted, underdog players….
The Miami Heat have the Sporting World's attention and now most everyone (NBA analysts, former players, writers, experienced journalists alike) are riding the wave and jumping the bandwagon!! I just think it's amazing underdog pro basketball story in how so many ppl are becoming united in belief…
