PG Heat - Win

[soxperry]

Things I'm tired of (and when i say tired, i mean like i want to punch holes in my 1950s era plaster walls)

Us not being ready for the Heat's defensive intensity in crunch time
Us throwing our hands up on contact instead of just executing ball handling and passing better on offense
Us not showing even a fraction of the vet savvy that the Heat roll out of bed with

Too many Beasleys on this team, not enough Lowrys.

beasleys been great for weeks. use a different comp

Beasley, as we knew before the games started, can shoot but is very poor at almost everything else. He's the perfect comp and he's a microcosm of everything that is fundamentally wrong with this team. He, not Bango, should be our mascot, and there are times that this nearly comes to fruition when he dances (which i actually like).

Part of me thinks AJ Green is trash and a turnstile on defense.

The other part of me thinks AJ Green can't shoot.

However, there is a third part that thinks AJ Green should not be in the NBA unless he is a ballboy.

he needs a consistent run

Give it a rest dork!

It was an honest question...

8 teams advancing is plenty imo

Expand the league then expand the tourney. 4 regions of 8 teams. Each region gets 2 teams. There are 7 IST games instead of 4. Semis are mid December as a promo for Xmas Day games.

Silver - I take venmo or paypal

I couldn’t watch the whole game but I’m glad they pulled it out at least. Would like to start blowing these type of teams out (bad and/or injured). Being clutch is nice, but it kinda of reminds me of the suns that got destroyed against the Mavs. Being able to win close and ugly games is a great thing, having to win games close and ugly isn’t.

This roster with Spoelstra would go 74-8 at WORST

[steger_3434]

one wild card only in each conference truly makes it as close to single elimination as possible. i like it

I think point differential came too much into play. I bet next year they go 3 division winners, 5 wild cards. Single elimination after that

So you only have to win like 2 games.

It’s the nba. .500 gets you into the playoffs

This team knowing how to close games out but not being able to defend is the exact opposite of the Bud era. It's pretty weird.

I mean it makes total sense tbh lol. They have two top 75 players of all time, one of them a swiss army knife two-way monster, the other one of the most cold blooded late game assassins in recent memory. Pair those two together, throw in the occasional late game Khris heroics and they’re going to overwhelm most teams in the clutch just by those 2 (sometimes 3) alone, when they’re all the way locked in.

The other 43-44 minutes are when scheme/structure actually matters, and that’s where the Bucks having the dumbest coach in the league really hurts them.

Even as a fire Bud guy it pains me to think of what Bud could do with this roster with Dame to help lead the way in late game situations.

Thinking about actually getting this shirt made.

I will buy it

Send me the size you want and I'll send you the price.

My new thing is trying to enjoy watching a group of dudes so good they can drag an awful coach to wins.

well youre in luck

[Daver]

Beas 4 Prez!!

Another plus 16 call me impressed veen very good lately but im sure all the hate is still there

[RiotPunch]

Lol, way to cash in on that Giannis dunk Riot.

Thanks, man. That was a rush!!

What are we talking about here?

I had a parlay going and needed .5 points from Giannis with under 30 seconds or so. Got an emphatic dunk from him to cash.

Consistent run out of the NBA

3 divisions means 9 IST games. Possible but that is a lot and makes basically 40% of Nov games part of the IST

ETA: I misread as 3 total divisions. Not by conference.

Had a similar bet yesterday. Figured Josh Dobbs anytime TD at +190 was easy money, had me sweating until the end.

[steger_3434]

In prior years this team would be in maybe 15 close games a year. With Dame we probably go 12-3 in those games now. Say the other games we get blown out maybe 5 times. The rest we blow teams out. Dame on this team 2 years ago and we go 74-8

I hate the Heat as much as the next man but those dudes under Spoelstra always seem to know what they are doing.

If for some reason I was randomly thrown into an NBA game, I almost feel like I wouldn't totally embarrass myself if I was being coached by Spoelstra....lol.

Unless he would duct tape your mouth shut, you would be wrong.

I worked the reverse jinx to perfection, you should be thanking me...lol.

Your comment here was actually pretty funny though.

im going to stick to the numbers that at this point are becoming obvious. as his numbers on and off the court and his net rating spikes im going to escalate my displeasure to the peanut gallery about it as well.

and obviously hes been a total flamethrower on offense. im talking specifically about his defense within this stupid scheme fwiw. everybodys bad but hes actually been a bright spot for what was expected

In prior years this team would be in maybe 15 close games a year. With Dane we probably go 12-3 in those games now. Say the other games we get blown out maybe 5 times. The rest we blow teams out. Same on this team 2 years ago and we go 74-8

we might never lose again and ill hate nearly 47.75 minutes of every game.

[PG Graveyard]

I wonder if these guys can play closer to that 4th quarter level earlier in the game? Maybe this is more fun for them. I mean they almost pulled it off in Boston too.
