    Bam - if I didn't know he was a perennial all star I would watch his play and think that he's just a lower/mid tier center on his 4th or 5th team.

    Duncan Robinson - most 3 point shooters don't even get one wide open look in a season, with no one within 15 ft of you, and he got two at the end of one critical game and bricks them both. Boston just goes right him.

    Butler - consistently all he does is go try and get contact and a star call. Going off on a random night doesn't make up for that.

    It must drive Spoelstra insane that Miami chooses to have all these "stars" instead of giving him a single player who can consistently create on the offensive end.

    Spoelstra didn't help himself by not guarding the inbounder and having Strus in the game. Lowry doesn't fuck up as bad as he did. Strus had no idea where White went.

    White would have had an easy backdoor layup on a pass from Smart.

    Not guarding the inbounder was 3rd grade AAU shit.

    If you watch the replay, too, Boston had 3 guys with putback potential. Miami had one player in rebound position.

    No doubt they fucked up the defense there. 3 seconds is a lot of time.

    Joe Namath in the building tonight

    The Heat are one loss away from a historic choke job, but Jimmy Butler is keen on making sure his team is on the right side of history. After his team’s brutal Game 6 loss Saturday night, he made a bold prediction for the pivotal Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals on Monday night against the Celtics in Boston.

    “I’m not gon’ let anybody quit. I’m not gonna let our guys quit,” Butler said after Miami’s 104–103 loss Saturday night. “I don’t give a damn what happens—we gon’ go in there [TD Garden], and we’re gonna win.”

    Tatum's ankle didn't help.

    But Celtics are soft.

    Nuggets better be paying attention - though I think Nuggets win in 6, maybe 5.

    Do this again, but for Boston's lineup.

    For a team that climbed the mountain and made the finals last year the Celtics seemed like mental midgets compared to Miami. As Barkley said last night, “you’re either coaching them to shoot that many threes or you’re allowing them to shoot that many threes. Either way you’re wrong.” The coach should be out. Tatums ankle better have been broken because 1988 Pistons Isaiah Thomas would have willed that team to victory on a bad ankle. I’m tired of the Tatum top five player nonsense. He’s as likely to score 14 as 40 on any given night. Brown is due for a Supermax deal. If they pay him that money they deserve these close but no cigar results. They’re in a cultural bind for sure as a franchise.
