Both teams are playing lackadaisical defense.

Butler has not been great offensively, at least not this series. Might be better to have LeBron clamp down on Bam if that's the Finals matchup


That really isn't his game. Every now and then he'll get a ton of points, mostly by being aggressive and getting FTs. But locking him down just means someone else will be open.

Right, so I don't really think LeBron clamping him down is a big deal. I absolutely love Butler as a player and leader, but there have been times this series where he hasn't been able to back down Kemba and instead settles for a fadeaway midrange J

Rondo's brother and 6 other barbers, so a team of 7

Didn't Rondo's brother do that, but then he got booted from the bubble?

Neither MIA nor BOS look that scary for the Lakers.

No defense being played.

Really enjoying this series. Want Heat to win, but wouldn’t mind a Game 7...

Bam with 16 at the half. Nice. He wants to make up for his last game.

Agreed. Clean shaven baby face Gordon > Stach Gordon.

Boston only shot 4 FT's in the first half. Get ready for a second half shellacking against the Heat

Whoever wins this series is likely going to have a real hard time with the Lakers size.

I see 1 legit big man between the two teams.

Boston can't beat LA, so I'm all in on Miami to win today.

Eh, it's all about upkeep. Jimmy not even trying; all he's thinking about is that ring.

Also, there’s no way Boston or Miami can make it out of the east without getting past Embiid and Giannis, thems too tall!

The Celtics have Kanter and Williams, who are flawed but better than Plumlee.
