I favor the Celtics more because of JB
Wish we actually had serious interest in KLove
I’m a huge fucking fan of Spo – might be the only coach that I’d be okay with swapping Kerr for.
We all pulling for a Denver/Miami Finals, yes?
heat smells blood
How are the Heat suddenly so elite HOW COULD THEY DO IT BUT WE COULDNT ☹️
Thanks for creating this thread mods!
miami role players can knock down the open shots…wat is this boston defence giving so many open looks lol
I really have no idea how Miami gets it done. They aren’t the most exciting team but just have a way of staying in it and making it a grind. They’re super poised in close games.
Jimmy butler is that dude come playoff time
Boston’s defense has gone to shit lol, such a big difference from last year’s (just like ours lol)
This heat team so fun to watch pls destroy the Celtics
Miami and Denver ruining the NBA’s Boston LA Finals wet dream I NEED IT
Skyfucker has broken this league. How come everyone shooting so well no the second best shooter of all time.
Also am I the only one that’s been living under a rock and didn’t learn until that bizarro GQ article today on Mazzulla watching the movie the Town 4x A WEEK, that Mazzulla is only 34? Lol idk why I thought he was like early 40s.
Miami just got an entire roster full of dudes that aren’t afraid of the moment, and the coach is like that too. What a fucking fun team to watch man
I can’t see where the elbow JB was grabbing was hit or fallen on??
When a team shoots 50% from three thats equivalent to 75% TS this shit is ridiculous
Every playoff coach achieved more than what they had given to work with. We only get underperformance by our players. For no reason Kuminga and Moody were under minute restrictions
After the way Looney and his family got psychotically harrassed by Lakers fans after AD’s wheelchair stunt, players feigning/selling injuries for an extended period of time and then magically being fine 20 seconds later really *really* bugs the hell out of me.
Himmothy Butler
Feels like everyone on the Heat can reliably get a bucket at any time I’m jealous 😭
we should trade poole to the heat for vincent, struss, and martin. poole can blossom under spo
Lol what are they talking about, Jimmy’s foot was not on the line, it just missed it.
What a fucking game this is
Crazy to think that they dont even have Herro and Oladipo
What a beautiful thing playoffs basketball is when the refs let them play
So many commercials
