How about the Kyle Lowry 2/56
Or the Bam 5/163 one
I'm not even sure about Jimmy's contract at this point, I mean sure he's great but he's 33 in September and he's got a $52m player option in 2025/26

Basically Heat's payroll is supposed to work for another year while Herro/Vincent/Strus are still on peanuts, but the year after that they're just some severely overpaid old guys.

Celtics ala Raptors in 2019 beat us and started believing.

Of all the ridiculous things, right. Get through the whole **** 82 games and on one dumb fluke play where some kid maybe didn't get to his mop fast enough, and boom, season over.

Smart shot 31% from 3 this year. Williams shot poorly above the break. They're a nice 3 point shooting team, but far from special.

We let them shoot untill they got hot because it's impossible to defend the 3 with glacier slow Lopez in the game.

I can't see the Heat winning by less than 10 in game 3 due to the adjustment's Coach Spo will make.

Lol I was gonna say, allowing mediocre shooters wide open shots will get them going eventually.

I'm reading around the web that the NBA playoffs this season are averaging great ratings. Bucks/Celtics got the highest second round ratings since 2012 Heat/Pacers. Game 7 averaged 7.5 million viewers and peaked at 9.6 million. Game 1 of Warriors/Mavs was highest Conference Final rating since 2018 for TNT. Looks like things going back to normal with fan attendance and sport schedules helped. As well as these playoffs being very competitive where there is no juggernaut.

Only thing that sucks is that the ratings being high means they're unlikely to fix the broken flopping and foul baiting crap. Oh and the refs in general.

That's never going away. The first 2 months this season where the refs stopped calling garbage was just an appeasement.

I mean, maybe Boston currently shooting 42% from 3 and putting up a 122 Offensive Rating on the road against this "vaunted" Miami defense will finally make Bucks fans appreciate how impressive a job our defense did against them?

That's cute, but no.

Edit: I'm with you though.

NBA likes the teams left standing rn, not surprising it gets more casual fans than Milwaukee/Atlanta/Phoenix/no Kawhi Clippers. Has nothing to do with quality of play.

Feel like because of covid and top guys missing time with injuries the voters really just collectively threw **** at the wall to see if it stuck when it came to who they voted on for these defensive awards.

Despite the annoyance of the scheme we can't take away how hard the Bucks battled. Boston is a really good team. Had the Bucks won the series it would've been an all time awesome win in a grueling series. Gianni's Mt. Rushmore status debate would've started happening.

Watching the Warriors come back here in the first and it's just annoying me that coaches in the Western conference are allowed to make adjustments whenever they want but in the East they're not allowed to.
