  1. No way JT should get the max the way he’s played this playoffs – game 7 vs the 76ers

  2. Joe No Timeouts Mazzula strikes again, as do the brain-farting Celtics players. Why does Tatum's handle seem to turn to jello at the end of games? It's 2 games in a row now that he's gotten butterfingers or suffered seizures or something. Anyway, I guess we should stop being amazed by the "upsets" pulled by the Heat–when you CONSISTENTLY beat supposedly better teams at their home courts, YOU are the better team, never mind what everybody else thinks.

    I want to see my Lakers (in some jeopardy now) play the Heat for a reprise of the bubble championship, but if Lakers don't make it, at least I'm rooting for Miami. They'd almost certainly be the team with most undrafted "rejects" to win the championship in NBA's history, though I'm not sure if any such stats are kept (would take some time for someone to come with the numbers). Even Jimmy had a hard time making the league and had a hard life before that happened.

  3. Nah man Panthers and Heat have won the last 5 games here. I mean just name the area South Florida Garden.

  4. Please don't edit the game if it's only the last 4 minutes or something. Wanna watch the whole thing again

  5. So, with the heat being up 2-0 on the road, what's the percentage that they will win now? Probably higher than 3% no?

  6. What is the best Prize you could ever win? A million dollars? A trip around the world? Having your debts paid off? Or would erasing your sin debt with God be a better deal than all of the wealth on earth? (Matthew 16:26) Let’s see.

    Have you broken God’s Law by lying? If one murder makes someone a murderer, then one lie makes you a liar. Have you stolen, lusted after others, coveted money, or cursed God? God will not hold lawbreakers guiltless. The sentence for these crimes will be eternal death in Hell. God wants to show lawbreakers mercy, but the penalty for their crimes must be paid and their record of sin wiped clean before they can enter Heaven. That makes the cleansing of your sins more valuable than money or gold! That also makes Jesus’ payment and forgiveness of your sins literally the offer of a lifetime―an eternal lifetime! Remember, your soul is worth infinitely more to Him than all the money in the world!

    Run the race of life to win the eternal Prize. When you hit the finish line and take your last breath, will you have banked on good works, luck, or chance to take you to Heaven? Or will you repent and trust in the cross of Jesus Christ to settle your sin debt with God? Jesus is the Grand Prize Who gives true riches to believers—eternal life with Him in Heaven forever!

  7. When you have someone like Embiid who speaks fluent English, Bantu and Cantonese and in addition is a computer geek with a master degree in economics sooner or later people will notice and he will become the new basketball league leader just as MJ once was!.

  8. Physically Brown seems like the guy who should be guarding Butler. But they never put him on butler in the crunch, I just don't get it.

  9. Gab vincent step back jumper over Tatum was coldddd.. undrafted player wasnt afraid to take a big shot against a superstar. Very2 satisfying win. Go heatttt!!!!!

  10. As a sixers fan anyone involved in letting Butler walk should be fired.

  11. As a Knicks fan.. I can't believe heat is really going far with injuries like Herro and Oladipo… I'm super SHOCKED 😮
