ESPN has the worst analytics. All their metrics are shit with the exception of SP+ that existed long before Connelly worked for ESPN and was developed and perfected outside of their chinfluence.RaceBannon said: -
Hats off to Bron. Coming out Legend and giving his team a 15 pt lead at the half. And of course Ham being an idiot, doesn’t give him a few minutes of rest then. He then more or less had to pace himself in the 3rd hoping that there was still something to fight for come the 4th quarter. As He knew He wasn’t going to get help from Street clothes or anyone else sans Reaves.
38 y/o playing 48 minutes and almost got it done.

Jimmy Butler will put in a heroic effort to get it to 5 games, maybe. -

He should win GM of the year. Bruce Brown was a great free agent signing. He’s a great role player and couldn’t have picked a better team to sign with. KCP was a good pick up too. Jokic makes everyone on the team so much better and is the best player in the NBA. -
America - meet the Nuggets

Herro could be back to play in the Finals. I wouldn't count Miami out. Spoelstra has got the voodoo going.

I'll watch

Good thing @PostGameOrangeSlices MIC/NATO gods didn't bomb the fuck out of the Joker's hometown in Serbia or we'd be watching Lakers/Heat.RaceBannon said:America - meet the Nuggets
TTTTT, I know.

Red Sox only team to overcome a 3-0 lead in baseball or basketball
And that isn't changing

ARod's ears staying on the roids while the rest of him slowly returns to it's natural state is really quite something.RaceBannon said:

In the championships I just don't think they have the talent.
Some guy named Vincent has to hit 70+% from 3. -
I’m rooting for playoff Jimmy and the Heat, I just don’t think it’s happening. Boston is a really talented team but are complete mental midgets with a retarded coach. The Nuggets are way more complete, have the best player in the world, and a coach who doesn’t have a deer in headlights look when his team is down by 6 points.
Nonetheless, if the Heat make it to the finals, it will have been an extremely impressive run. -

Butt cheeks a little tighter in Miami

Won't matter. Would prefer Jimmy Buckets but the boring Celtics will be good fodder.
Nuggets in 6.

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. -
Duncan Robinson’s job is to shoot. Some guys get nervous. That was a great game and I’m looking forward to game 7. The Celtics can actually give the Nuggets a series. Miami will lose easily if they somehow beat Boston.haie said: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.

Jimmy turned out to be a huge bitch. You can’t talk all that shit then play like Dillon brooks in the decisive game.haie said: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.

Jimmy always comes up short
Celtics win game 7 by 20 to 30 points
Miami died last night -
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.haie said: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.

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.PurpleThrobber said:

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.” -

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

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.
