Heat = enjoyable crunch time
Nuggets = fascinated by jokic
Don't mind? It's the only final series I'd have any real interest in watching.
And the bonus is that's it would be Silver's worst nightmare.

And that's exactly what happened. Boston had that game won last night... and then Miami dropped them on the table and the Celtics shriveled up and cowered in the corner. They are not a clutch team either, beating Sister Katherine's Shrinking Violets here proved nothing.

Funny thing about last night's game - while it's true that Williams "poked the bear", it was his presence that ignited the Celtics in the second half. After that incident, he still hit a clutch layup and a dunk off a feed from Tatum before Mazzulla took him out, and from there the Celtics collapsed.
I see a lot of people trashing Williams this morning, and Jaylen Brown said "no comment" when asked about it after the game, which to me shows how weak the Celtics are mentally, that they disapproved of a player showing some fire like that. Williams' presence in the second half was the only time the Celtics looked good in this series, IMO.

I wonder if he said “next question” more because he thought it was a stupid question. He looked a little dumbfounded and was shaking his head when he said it. Brown seems like a smart dude, I’d imagine he’s not one to throw a teammate under the bus mid series.

Agreed, it could go either way. You're probably right, but it was revealing that Mazzulla got Williams out of the game while he was one of the only contributors offensively.

We are a special breed lol.
I also remember dozens of posts claiming had Kawhi's buzzer beater not fallen that we would've handled Milwaukee and then all of GS's injuries would've occurred exactly the same as they did therefore we would've hoisted the Larry O'Brien.
