And the Heat got their first taste of Randle in Game 2 after not seeing him Game 1 :lol:

Jimmy isn’t some mythical being that can’t be stopped and Miami’s shooting isn’t what it was during the Bucks series. There was a game they shot 60% from 3 and they were over 40%+ for most of it. It’s already coming back to Earth this series.

2nd game? You mean the game you won thanks to the referee even though that Butler wasn't playing?

Ah yes we know Randle. We know his soft ass well. Certainly not the kind of man we fear. It's funny to compare Butler and Randle. Clearly the best player in this series.


The Knicks smacked that ass in the 4th quarter and had y’all crying for Jimmy to save ya. Stop it :lol:

It’s so funny seeing Miami fans cry about the refs when they’re one of the teams that benefits the most from bad reffing. The moment it doesn’t go their way, it’s the refs are cheating :lol:

It took a +9 FT advantage, 7-34 3pt shooting and no Randle to beat the Knicks last Sunday. “BuT jImMy” :lol:

Miami’s shooting has already come back down to Earth these past 2 games. They’re not scoring anywhere near what they did the last series. And they’re having trouble stopping Brunson, Randle and RJ. Bam is shrinking in the playoffs as usual. I’m confident the Knicks are leaving with at least one in MSG South.

You say crying instead of admitting the referee mistakes that everyone admits in the 2nd game? Not even worth reading what you wrote :)

You also need to use that TV, then you might've noticed Julius blowing past Bam like he was a child :wink:

You should definitely be proud of it.

Thanks. I know Bam is a bum, but I worked really hard to make that happen!

All good.

I know you're joking, I'm thick-skinned, but some will take it personally and this thread will erupt into a warzone, fast. This GB mod group is relaxed, but generalizing fanbases and personal insults are where we have to draw the line. That's all.

I see where you are coming from. I tried to word it (and my subsequent replies) to not step over any lines but I guess I failed. It wasn't my intent.

When the winner is revealed in these nxt few weeks none of what has been said in here will matter. The loser goes fishing & the winner moves on to ECF.

Best of Luck to Knicks for gm3. You guys played solid in gm2. Hopefully Jimmy will be back so we get to see both teams at full strength (minus Herro) & we both stay healthy from here on out. It should be a great game.
If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

Yeah hopefully getting a two-week break between games 2 & 3 helps both teams recuperate and play their best for the rest of the series.

i don't think we've seen the full capability of New York's defense yet (the one we saw against the Cavs) and i think that shows tonight as they force the Heat to one of those grind it out 90-90 type of final score.
If there is no basketball in heaven, i am not going.

Can't believe you guys got 4 days between games. Probably good fortune for both sides...maybe more so Miami lol.

Yeah, it's felt like weeks since game 2...but both teams definitely needed this. I know that (at least) Jimmy, Bam, Strus, & Martin have been banged up for Miami; while for us (at least) Randle, Brunson, Robinson, Grimes, and Hart have been playing through stuff.

Do you know each team's record with those refs? I know we do awful in games Brothers refs but none of these names are sticking out.

Marc Davis played 4 games for the Heat in 1999 & has a short trigger with techs but I don't have anything else without having to look it up.

The Cavs also had 2 big guys who flat out didn't attempt shots from deep, a turnstile at SF that couldn't hit the broadside of a barn, and Mitchell who is a good shooter but 2 seasons in a row craps the bed in the playoffs.

Jimmy is still questionable for today's game as is Caleb Martin who says he will play. Highsmith is probable all 3 are listed day to day.
