Watched now for about 40 minutes,, haven't seen Miami connect on a 3ball I don't think.. Against us, Crowder, Hero, Drag Queen were pouring them in.
Is anybody here a marine biologist?

Miami can give Milwaukee some serious trouble in the 2nd rd if they were to meet.

They have serious Physicality, Length, and athletism...to go along with decent shooting

Ya Bucks would handle Celtics easily (as we've seen the past couple seasons) but the Heat will be more of a challenge

My challenge to the Vaccine truthers, make a prediction and sig it.
Mine: In 2023, rates of heart attacks & strokes amongst vaccinated people, never infected with COVID will be similar (+-5%) when compared to people of same age in 2018.

Yeah, and players being out sometimes helps a team focus their effort. Players on minutes restrictions seem to often throw teams off too. It’s all a bunch of noise. Reggie now says Bucks and Raps are clear cut favourites. That’s why he’s an idiot. So reactionary.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Saying the top 2 seeds are the favourites isn't a hot take though

It's always funny how much people need to see Boston prove they aren't as good as the raps before they actually believe it.

Every year the same thing.
