Book just looks so smooth. He gets anywhere he wants even with double teams. Doesn't phase him. His passing game is very good also.

Tatum needs a mid range game like KD and Book have.

This is a great game. I hope all series go 7 except ours.

Book's D is sus though.

People were foolish to write off the Suns after two games

Need the Knicks to find a pulse and Warriors to spend some of that payoff on refs while we finish ours off in 6

They had 11 rebounds for Jokic not assists on the tnt stat display. Fire that guy

Hmmm, I kinda want the suns to knock out denver. Kind of surprised they are back in the series.

Heat, with less talent than the Cs, showing more toughness and mental fortitude in 1.5 playoff series so far. (If Knicks come back to tie this 2-2, thank me later for jinxing the Heat.)

We’d already be waiting for our ECF opponent if we had Spoelstra as our head coach.

If you substituted Butler and Spoelstra for one of the Jays and Mazzulla, I'm fairly confident they could win a Championship
this season...

If miami gets a 3-1 series lead i will be pissed. Celtics should have won that game last night.

So sick of of people blaming the coach last night. More like if we had guys that can close and you know maybe get a defensive rebound.

See i don't get the 'we are the better team' thing. Miami are playing Strus, Vincent and a washed Kevin Love in the starting lineup. Being the better team doesn't guarantee jack.

Tatum has a solid mid range game.. But whether it's his trainer or the head coach no one is encouraging him to use it..

Yeah Kevin love, Max struss, Gabe Vincent ,Kyle lowery are all better rebounders right??
Perhaps if we had a coach who would actually call a time out and run a Good play we would be better at closing..

Well how about a coach that would insist we stop walking up the ball in the 4th quarter?

Well how about a coach who would tell Tatum to stop doing step sideways threes early in the shot clock on a fast break??

I hope our guys are watching this Heat Knicks game and seeing they would walk all over either of these two teams. Go out and destroy the Sixers tomorrow night & then don’t **** around & end this **** in 6

Again how many offensive rebounds did Philly in those last minutes? Also how about making some shots in crunch time? Sorry pal that’s not on the coach.

They didn't "walk all over" a mediocre Hawks team, aren't currently "walking all over" a Sixers team with Embiid on one leg. What gives you the confidence that they'll do it to the Heat? Arguably the best coached team in the Playoffs with a current top 3 performer in the Playoffs. If the C's get past the Sixers, they'll be in a dog fight again with Miami.
