Man Jokic series MVP. Man I wish we had someone on our team that was remotely close to being an MVP.

You can only take the rosters he had so far in the playoffs. The Heat front office really needs to address their big men rotation. Bam is okay but they always have a backup that is not good enough to get minutes in the playoffs.

BostonCouchGM wrote:still waiting for that GOAT coaching job by Spo I keep reading about. His team (Jimmy in particular) playing dumb basketball. Why does Spo get zero blame?

Spo's the reason the Heat won 1 game in the Finals. He's not why they lost. They didn't have the talent or team to compete. They shouldn't have had enough to beat us, yet Spo got it done because we didn't.

I sincerely hope the Warriors run is over. Love this parity era of the NBA. Five different champs last five seasons.

That's all well and good, but I hope the C's win every title until the year I die. Then we can get back in to this parity era. 8-)

That Marc Davis call tho... Always thought he was strict, no nonsense, a bit short tempered perhaps... But not corrupt. Lost all respect...

So yeah, this is the first time since 1975-1980 that the NBA had five different champs in five seasons.

And guess who won the 1981 Finals...

Final Tally, Stars 3-Point Shooting vs. Heat:
- Tatum & Brown: 18/80 (20%)
- Jokic & Murray: 20/50 (40%)

Made two more threes in 30 less attempts and two less games.

Pisses me off that we have a superstar that disappears when it matters, and worry more about stats and looking good than winning.

Congrats to the Heat for the most unlikely playoff run. I mean, they're trash and made it this far so let's give credit where credit's due.

Also, congrats to JaMarco.

Wyc is getting close to James Dolan status for me. May be harsh, but **** it I'm pissed. Team hasn't won **** in 15 years and has 1 ring in almost 40 years

Mike Breen post-game: "Those two guys (Jokic and Murray), you know you have a lot of stars, big twos and big threes. Sometimes it's my turn, your turn. Not with these two. They always seem to be connected."

Hope Brad is taking notes :nod:

So that's mean we overhaul and start thrashing players in and out. You know, like videogame basketball. Go for the splashy ones. Just like you do playing NBA/2K23. That's how you leaned basketball right?

This sorry Heat team had no business being in the finals, they just got hot right at the right time. The Celtics still should have advanced to the finals regardless, hopefully they'll be more mature next year. Jokic didn't win until he was 28.
