Much respect to the Heat to make it to a game 5.

Nah. Just keep them away from the Bulls from now on and make them watch AK do this work.

Heat ain't gone play that ****. The Nuggets while talented were less physical and more apt to let that go.

While I am not glad the Bulls traded Jimmy, I am glad he is off the Bulls because GarPax would have never properly built around Jimmy to actually showcase what he could do.

GarPax would have perpetually kept us an 8th seed with Jimmy.

Glad Jimmy has his biggest game on the biggest stage while making the biggest upset wins in Finals history.

It doesnt matter what happens after, this will never be forgotten.

Butler and Rondo in the finals, 1 is leaving with a title and the Bulls are still trying to figure it out.

They kinda did but in a **** way. They surrounded him with non-shooters in Rondo/Wade. I still think we would've been better if we built around Jimmy/Niko.

It’s just a fact that the 3 alphas weren’t really bad... Hoiberg just couldn’t coach the egos and they chose Hoiberg. But at least now we have Lauri.

The differences in this game: the Heats rebounding better, the Lakers finally missing 3s, and Jimmy F'n Buckets!

Rondo/Wade at that time was only a one year run (two at best). It was a "band aid" move and most people here on Realgm saw it for what it was.

I will say this, this game doesnt really turn the tide or anything. There were alot of factors in it. Mostly Anthony Davis.

But if Bam is back and the Heat find a way to actually win again on Tuesday, THEN the pressure begins for the Lakers.

Right now I dont think they should feel any pressure and they shouldnt. But if they give the Heat confidence, as Jimmy said, its going to be interesting.
