Crazy what they are doing with what they’ve got. But overall agree, this heat team imo doesn’t not match up well at all with this years Boston team.

I don’t see Kevin Love on Tatum ending well.

That said, two undrafted guys starting in backcourt, a buyout guy starting in the front court, and another buyout guy off the bench in Zeller must be a record this deep in the playoffs.

Makes the 2015 era Celtics of IT and Amir Johnson look like they had a major pedigree.

Given the quality of first round appointment it still has to be Jimmy. Playing the 1st seed, best NBA record team and winning is a different level of competition than a team with two injured all-nba level wings out.

His numbers against a full strength Nuggets through three games are right in line with his total Playoff numbers though.

I think the point is that Jimmy willed his team past a far superior opponent. Not just the raw numbers. Booker hasn't done that. And won't have an opportunity to do so since he has kd (beat a far superior opponent I mean)

LOL @ Poole mic’d up in game break. His nervous energy AND his talking seemed to be annoying all around him. None of his team mates looked happy being next to him and only responded to him as if they knew they had to tolerate him.

I don’t condone the action but I do understand Draymond’s urge to punch him. Mind you, I would also understand someone’s urge to punch Draymond. Imagine having to put up with both of them on your team. It would be easy to play frustrated and angry all the time.

He just comes off as a complete douche. Draymond’s a tool but I wasn’t shocked when I found out it was Poole that he punched.

How often do you see a fringe playoff team turn into a legit championship contender mid season after a trade?

OK let me try that again..

They announced Miami has over 400 straight sold out games... Yet 25% of the seats seem to be empty most of the time..

And a show up late for playoff games as well

I have an irrational desire for a Lakers-Celtics finals so I'm rooting for the Lebrons in this one.

AD dominated the Warriors. If the Celtics had a big like him, they may have won the title last year.

Are the Lakers this good? My goodness golden state didn’t show up tonight. Is this one of those fairy tale endings for the Lakers? I am gonna throw up.

The Lakers have gotten a lot of free throws in this series. 37 free throw attempts compare to the warriors 11. Seems like the refs are letting the Lakers a plethora of calls.

My hate for Danny Ainge keeps growing every week.. This is a f****** team that shouldn't have even been in the playoffs.. Ainge bailing out the freaking lakers with Russell Westbrook and his contract has to be the most disgusting thing any Celtic connected person has ever done..

And everyone better fear the lakers.. they have Anthony Davis for sure but more importantly the league seems to want lebron every f****** time he plays.. 37 foul shots to 11.

And that is not a one game sample.. You guys remember what the chart was for the Lakers on free throws attempted after lebron made his infamous crying like a b****..

I am legit starting to get concerned. If the Lakers make the FInals, I am pretty sure the powers-that-be will find a way for Lebron to get his 5th ring at the expense of whoever stands in their way.

LeBron is not even top 3.
