You posted this for LeBetard's benefit didn't you?
I know this is a old video but how about the Heat about to sweep your sorry ass Celtics
This dude should have your job he called It perfect
I need to contact Mike and ask for lottery numbers because he was spot on. As a rabid Heat fan, I was frustrated of the losses after Kevin Love joined. However, I knew that once they get into the playoffs, Jordan's son will do a lot of damage.
This is so uncanny. Media gets a lot of misses but holy crap did this prediction HIT 😂
Wow！
The fact that these two believed in the heat more than most heat fans. They saw this coming
As a Lakers fan, the Zombie Heat kicking the Celts butt is the only thing giving me joy currently 😂
Don't worry Simmons. You still have your season tickets for the Clippers.
This was beautiful. Aged like fine wine, the Heat will keep your blood pressure up. The bit about disappearing 10 point leads is very funny considering how many double digit leads the Celtics have blown this playoffs.
I forgot about bill excellent prediction, HEAT BALL🔥
Mike is Nostradamus. He's the literal script writer of the playoffs this season.
Why is the parks and rec guy a fucking basketball seer
To me, this series reminds me of the Simpsons episode with the zombies. The Heat tapping the Celtics head, hearing only hollow noises, and coming up disgusted that there's no "braaaaaiiins" in there
You will not that pass … public announcement spot on
A miracle happened in the NBA, hahahi hi, the first team beat the eighth – everyone praises the losers for playing well. HAHA HI HI – then how did the winners play… when the loser played well. Someone didn't tell the press who the winner was
lol rent free
love Mike Schur, but hate what the Heat's doing to him
All these stats and stories about the Heat "stealing" wins sounds like a convincing case for Erik Spoelstra as Coach of the Year.
I was 5 minutes into this video before realizing that this was from an old episode lol cause its all soooooo relevant right now
Mike Schur is a basketball genius for this take! I'm a Heat fan and I didn't even see this coming!
This is such great content. Bill and co have the best basketball junkie discussions. I love how perfectly Mike broke this down. It was eerily accurate and it was heightened beyond what he even saw coming!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Why the Heat hate!? 🤔
Straight haters!
The Lakers got swept and today the Celtics will be done, great week
Lol
that lob play they mention is exactly what happened to Milwaukee, i cant believe, they could see the future
Sorry, Mike. You were so right. The Heat should lean into this and start rocking "Zombie Nation" as their chant.
schur even nails how teams will react to miami's unique system switches on defence and the zone
Which team is the Best in the East!? I'll tell you who, its Not Milwaukee, Boston, Philly or the Knicks
I had a lot of respect for Schur from 'Parks & Rec' and 'The Office.' Learning that he's a knowledgeable NBA fan with better takes than most analysts, priceless.
thank you for turning on original sound so i can hear the music
The against the spread stats are NUTS!
If there is anyone balling on betting for the Heat all of this season and postseason, then those motherfuckers are balling in cash right now.
Holy FUCK
Yes, we know you called it, give it a rest
The best part is Bill thought they were dead after the play in loss. But the zombie heat dont die
The Office. Parks & Rec. The Good Place. Brooklyn 99. Predicting the Celtics would get their leprechaun cheeks clapped by the Heat… Mike Schur can do no wrong!
Hahaha what a dumb conversation "it's so irritating how they win". It's sports, fellas, you win or you lose. Period. "It's so irritating" hahaha… that irritating team is about to sweep your team and head to the Finals 🙂 Cheers
Mike u coward. Come on Dan's show!
Burn Boston burn
Cousin Mose knows his stuff
@Bill Simmons – it is eerie as to how this take has manefested itself into a Heat [3] Celtics [0] series lead here on May 23rd.
I suggest renaming the pod from BS to Truth Sayers 🙂
Give this man a raise. He was spot on about the heat and the Eastern conference. I hope he put some bets down and made some money
He even called out the zone😂
You guys are good🤣🤣
Man saw the future. Got some details jumbled but every crystal ball is cloudy
the Heat/Steelers comparative were perfect.
