Around the NBA (Non-Celtics) 2019-2020, Part 3 – "Playoff Version"

[Triple7]

Bam bricking every floater and hook shot. Herro bricking every shot.

Size and length in the middle contain and bother Bam because he can’t shoot. Heat would no doubt have lost to Toronto as Bam would have been eliminated from paint bully play by Ibaka, even oldman Gasol and Siakam. Game of matchups. Celtics pretty much lost to that team because of one man mostly, Bam having his way getting to the paint at will. If you body him from the paint, he can’t shoot or score

Our guys are not mentally tough period. Bunch of 3 point chuckers.

These are exactly what we said last year

Agreed, it's the Coaching.
Cause we have a pretty tough team. They are well put together.

They're not mature. But that comes by actually going through it.

They just didn’t have the quality bigs to contain and body Bam of the paint. That was the huge issue. They could have forced more picking on Heats bad defenders in Hero, Robinson and Dragic like in game 5 and got to the rim as Bam is only 1 man and could do so much to make up for their short comings as Heats also lack rim protections beyond Bam. Heat were not the best match up only because of Bam and only Bam, but Celtics still should have pulled it out despite their inferior bigs

Who saw the heat getting embarrassed like this by the lakers? Oh yeah..........everyone besides heat fans. This finals is going to be an absolute joke. The heat may win one at most if the lakers choose to give them a game out of boredom.

Naw. Last year we had Bozo-the-Clown on the team.
Funny how we've made the ECF without that guy, 3 times in 4 years.

A game? They'll be lucky if they win a quarter in the 4 game sweep.

I'm not watching the game so I wouldn't know. Plus I don't usually pay close attention lol. But people assume that since Heat busted out zone defense against the Cs, they'd do the same with the Lakers.

I hate being right. Miami = 2002 Nets. Overachieved up until the finals and then collapse like a cheap suit. Wish it was us or Toronto so there would at least be some fight.

When Robert Williams was in game, it seems like Heats players were much more alert locating him, and when he was on the bench heats were playing free flow basketball.

Maybe we need to find a witch doctor to assess if this team has been cursed by the Lakers or by Lebron. They seem to have sucked out our lucky mojo. LA has always been lucky whereas we are always so close yet so far.

First, I hope Dragic recovers soon. Second, I don't want anyone getting injured except maybe Dywane Wade. But also, why couldn't have this happened in game 1 of our series?

We had Kanter. Our only big that’s banger. Brad choice not to use him. This game tonight shows one of the huge mistakes Brad made. He went with Theis and stuck with him when it wasn’t working.

Look at how physical the Lakers are being with Bam. Hitting hit, roughing him up. They literally knocker him out of the soft.

Celtics are not a tough team at all. The are a soft team. They had two tough guys. Kanter and Smart and Smart thinks he is Curry more times than not.

Grant and Semi are strong but Semi doesn’t play physical and Grant is too nice.

Bam is hurting, too.

Think the Lakers will win it by 30?

Lakers Starters staying in there.

[return2glory]

And anyone who thinks Celtics were big on talent, not true. They were an overachieving team. Lakers are a talent team, from top to bottom. Including having 2 of the top 5 players in the league.

Compare that to the Celtics, who some think Hayward is our 2nd best player.

[BRUNiNHO91]

What happened to Dragic?

Yup, this! Dont ever want injuries, but if it is gonna happen, why not vs us, early!

2020 has been a rough year. Now all i need to see is for the Yankees to win the World Series to make it even worse.☹️

[TheMartian]

Anyone remember why we didn't go after Dwight and went with Kanter? DH is much better than Enes when his head is on straight.
