This team ain't sweeping s*** in the playoffs. We likely beat the hawks in 5 and every other series is going 6 minimum.

Why is this taking forever it's in the 2nd quarter ..out of bounds play it's not that serious.

Looking back at what Kevin Durant did and now what Jimmy Butler did.. The Greek freak was nowhere to be found on defense..

What is my point maybe Tatum truly is the best 2 way player in the league...

You're right, but he is still a better help defender than lock down m2m player

He has poor lateral quickness because of his long legs.

I was never worried about MIL or PHI. NY and MIA play us the toughest. Fluke plays and officiating make the difference in a lot of our games.

Milwaukee had 3 former Heat be DNP-CDs. (Crowder, Leonard, Dragic)

I fear Spo more than any one on the Miami roster. Spo would've run circles around Bubblegum.

Didn't even realize it but it appears the Milwaukee bucks did not call a time out when Miami went on a 13 to 0 run...

Who would have thought calling a time out may have helped..

A help defender is valuable but in this situation I'd rather have a great man to man defender.. Just saying

JvG would be overhyped if he got to call a Knicks-Heat series. :)

That said -- how does SvG do calling Heat games? Spoelstra basically got his job as Riley's heir, and the rest is history.

I don't know what's worse, the Bucks losing to the 8th seed or the Heat losing the series after leading 3-1.

Heat might as well be the 1 seed, I would rather face a healthy Bucks team than a Heat team led by Bam & Jimmy.

Xavier Tillman was a second round pick.. He is a bit undersized for a center but playing an excellent all around game... We could have drafted him As well. We had 3 1st round pics in that draft... And one in the 2nd....

Meanwhile I don't know if anyone is watching but this is another great playoff game right now

This is the most pathetic review for a flagrant I've ever seen.

The league has always been rigged for the Lakers.
