Brown is miscast as a #2. Boston fails to get it done once again.

He's a #3 who thinks he's 1a.

Great call

He's definitely a #1 who is working without another star player. His sidekick is his coach.

what jimmy did to williams last night was absolutely insane. we haven't see anyone do something like that since jordan. williams was hot, taunted jimmy, and then jimmy took it personally. like, fuck you, fuck this game, scorch the fucking earth. he ran pick and rolls until he got williams 1 on 1 like 4 plays in a row and absolutely clowned williams, all while winning the fucking game in the process. that was the most wild thing ive seen in sports in a long fucking time. and in the semi finals at that.

the nuggets were high on a lot of peoples list since january, but the heat could barely beat the bulls. their post season run is unbelievable. they went through the best teams in the east, and none of it came easy. great coaching staff performance for sure, but at the end of the day, its all jimmy. if he wins the title it will be one of the best post seasons any single player has ever had.

ABA perhaps? Dan Issel and the boys?

No sweeps either

That was a fun stat. They’d won like 45 series without a sweep and the next closest is in the 20s.

I honestly thought the Celtics had already been swept. Didn’t realize tonight’s their survival game. They probably win.

it feels like a really weird game...the Celtics have quit, but they still feel too good to get swept, like they have to run into one eventually.

Miami vs Denver, young blood! Love it! The finals will still lose the ratings battle to MLB, Golf, and NFL offseason chatter.

I wish my guy LTG was still here to discuss, but you assholes ran him off

Denver should sweep.

I would definitely see Denver as the favorite. But I do not see Butler allowing them to get swept. He will have some crazy game.

now if bam could've gotten 7 rebounds...

it sucks. the nba has the most amazing athletic ability, and it's great to watch on tv. but theres a lot of white people in america and they generally don't like black people.

I'd say Denver in 5, assuming Miami doesnt have a historic collapse here. But yes I agree Denver has been a tier above every other team in the league all year.

after last game it doesnt look like miami will have a change against them, but that's been their mo all playoffs so we shall see.

I used to live and breath the NBA during the Jordan years and into the early 2000's. Rule changes, Leflop and Reinsdorf have turned me away. I hate the way the game is played today.

Heat will be hoisting the Larry O'Brien a week from Friday and people will still be professing doubts about their ability to win it all.

Heat took down Giannis. Heat wiped out some other team I can't remember, Cavs? Blues? and then they beat the odds-on favorite to win it all entering the playoffs....zero chance the all-american hero Heat lose to a bunch of fruity foreigners on American soil. if you aren't cheering for the Heat, you're not American; probably some kind of commie pinko euro-weenie supporter who gets all excited about the Eurovision song contest every May.


If the Heat can play Jokic one-on-one reasonably well--you aren't going to stop him, but at least keep him from going for 50 every night himself--they just need to focus on keeping the Canadian Murray in check and not allow the rest of the Nuggets to beat them.
