Reverse jinxes are one of the most powerful things in this world, bum.

Thankfully they turned it around

If Bam can hit the three at over 35% he can easily average for 20ppg efficiently. Something to keep chipping away at during practice and the off-season.

As for the lob threats, no one on our current team other than Jimmy and Herro are capable of throwing good lob passes. Dragic used to set him up beautifully, but Lowry and Gabriel do not.

Teams have also completely cut off the lobs with him and pack the paint to ensure we won’t get one, the counter to that is for the guards to beat their man off the dribble and force help, unfortunately Dragic is the last guy we had that could do that

If I’m positive the whole time game 5 and we get smacked you’re going to wish you didn’t ask for this

And if do get the Knicks, please put two feet on their heads and send them back to purgatory. I will most certainly be rooting for you against the Knicks if that matchup happens.

We are not revenging them. That was their revenge. We trying to get one up on them again.

As much as I’d love to boot Gabe and Strus from the starting lineup I don’t think you can break up that bench. Just hope Gabe and Strus can have a solid night and you’re good to go

Thats something

Anytime I see a statline like that I'm reminded of this classic Sam Mitchell clip :lol:

The Jimmy ring, if we get it, is going to be something special.

Of course we had lucky breaks during playoffs in the last 4 seasons

But at this point I cant call it Mostly luck, Like I have done in the past...This team tends to be hell of a performer in when a big stage arrives...unique :nod:

The Bucks can't survive another performance like this, so I have to imagine that Jimmy's going to have 3 defenders smothering him at all times from now on to force him to give up the ball and force the Titos to make enough shots to win.

Its time for Bam to give us ONE monster game.. he gives us 30 points in Game 5 and i like our chances. No one else on our roster can create their own shot after Bam and Butler.. herro could but hes out.. i wonder how bad herros fracture is that he couldnt get a splint on it and play through it

Just a quick reminder that Duncan Robinson is shooting 13/17 from threes in this series. What a weird series overall.

marson · Post #1113 » by **marson** » Tue Apr 25, 2023 9:58 pm

A Bam breakout game is all we need in Game 5. Lopen won't score another 36, isn't he?

My Prediction

36 pts Bam
26 pts Jimmy
and Strus, Vincent, and Lowry will shoot better.

110-105 Heat

Rapaz · Post #1114 » by **Rapaz** » Tue Apr 25, 2023 10:18 pm

Need Kyle Lowry to go off. I’m not saying 38/7/5 like Timmy in ‘97, but close!

Spoiler:

Post #1115 » by **KingDavid** » Tue Apr 25, 2023 10:40 pm

Gonna need Bam and the rest of the squad to go off next game as best as they can or else we will end up blown out. They're gonna double the fk outta Jimmy and lock him up.

Wonder who's reffing.

I don't know how the rest of the playoffs is going to shake out....but Jimmy Butler can go to bed at night and know he left it all on the court....

I am a fan, I dont want to bash the Heat org or the coaches or anything like that....but for the dudes who have spent years talking about getting Jimmy help....I feel you.... I really do.

This team is 100% capable of dropping 3 straight. Particularly against a tough opponent like Milwaukee.

I'm expecting Jimmy to have a rough Game 5 and we'll probably get blown out, tbh. I hope that's just the pessimist in me and Jimmy continues his rampage, the supporting cast shows up, and we create some history.

I mean we need one game where Jimmy can put up a calm 22 points and we shoot great from three and the supporting cast put in the difference, just one thats all I ask.

Problem is, Herro is gone and Bam forgot how to play on offense outside of dunking, an open layup and or an occasional lucky jumper. Which means two of Caleb/Lowry/Love/Vincent somehow put in 20+ scoring games to offset this loss in Herro and drop in production in Bam, Jimmy will have to continue to score 40+ in every game these playoff. I say 40 because he scored 35 on high efficiency in a loss in the second game.

Not expecting a breakout game from Bam

It’s an unfavorable matchup for him

I am however expecting Lowry to have at least one impactful all around game

Bucks are gonna inevitably swarm Jimmy moving forward so one of Strus or Duncan must make them pay when their defenders sag off and double Jimmy

Might need to be triple double Jimmy in this one.
