You just mentioned it…

And go back in the thread. It’s mentioned plenty by Heat fans. Just like it’s mentioned plenty that the refs influenced our 2 wins :lol:

Don’t think you’re much different than us.

Knicks should hang a banner after the series, “Pushed the Heat further than the Bucks”

I wouldn't count out the Knicks just yet. Only need to steal game 6 in Miami and then everything is possible. Still picking BOS-NYK for East Finals.

Down 19 in the third quarter, coach Spo trying zone defense, full court press after timeouts, half cour traps, hack a Mitchell. He tries different things to change the momentum and almost finish the job. I am aware squadwise after loosing Quickley, Knicks doesn't have much scoring options in the bench and they do not have that veteran player to take control (I wish Rose woudl fill that role). That's why Brunson had to play 48 minutes.

I am offering trying zone defense in some parts since the beginning of the series but other than that especially on offense it won't be easy to change things with this staff. 42-8 bench scoring difference will be much much harder to overcome in a road game

Also helps that they probably get free bottle service at the clubs after swallowing their whistles all night (unless someone breathes on butler ofc).

3-1 comeback should be light work if the refs call it fairly but that’s asking for a lot.


With posts like this you should consider changing your username to DumbLikeRock or something.


Brunson original hand injury
Randles original high ankle sprain
Quickley ankle
Grimes injury

How does one opposing team cause so many injuries? I’m sure it’s just coincidence right?

Has nothing to do with having multiple garbage defenders on the team trying to take charges every single possession. Nothing to do with the terrible close out discipline. Nothing to do with 75% of bams screens being illegal. Nothing to do with guys like zeller whose only job on the team is to cheap shot opponents. Nothing to do with “heat culture” allowing them to get away with most of the bs.

I remember pacers “smash mouth basketball” and “verticality” that let them get away with all kinds of nonsensical defense but at least they weren’t dirty players.

Brunson is a damn hero. He's the one who belongs on the All NBA team, not Randle. I am not just referring to this series, or in fact to Randle's playoff career. We all know, or at least should know, that Randle is vastly overrated, because his main talent (besides getting offensive boards) is taking shot after shot after shot, and fans/voters love gunners.

But Brunson is just plain smart out there, plus also hugely skilled. As a neutral, I loved him in Dallas (who wouldn't?) but love him even more now. He out-Jimmied JImmy last night in carrying his team on his shoulders.

i def agree but Randle plays at a weaker posistion so if you go by number for pfs, he belongs there

Brunson just plays in an extremely stacked posistion. James Harden didnt even make the ASG.

But all Knick fans know who our most important player is. Dude is always so poised and never scared of the moment. Its no coincidence that Mavs went from making WCF with Brunson to missing playoffs completely without him

Correct on all fronts. As a side note, the All NBA teams were pretty damn stupid. The people who made them pretended to be locked into positions. Thus, Jokic was 2nd team because we could only have one center. Yet Tatum played all year at the #4 spot and somehow he made the First Team along with Giannis. But Tatum always does get special rules only for him, so I suppose that I should not be surprised.

I love how the Heat mod keep giving me warnings for posts like these but lets you guys talk mad greasy

You posted this 10 minutes after he posted, all after midnight. I'm not on here 24/7. I handled it. Report the post next time.

I'm a heat fan, but I do not discriminate; I will ban/strike anyone in here. I'm handing out warnings because I know the nature of both fanbases and the respective home boards.
