[EC Finals] (3)Boston vs. (5)Miami

I haven't seen a nasty block like that since the 90s and another miami heat legend: Zo Mourning.
God I miss 90s basketball.

 

Philly must feel so dumb right now. You had the alpha you needed and you through him away.

 

I remember when Clutchfans mocked Jimmy for going to the Heat this summer. Who's laughing now!

 

Imagine if we had harden cp3 and Jimmy

 

I think we stopped laughing when Miami beat the crap out of us in the regular season by like 30 something

 

He got separation with his off arm. That’s an automatic offensive foul for Harden and if by some miracle it wasn’t, Doris would have surely brought it up and lobbied for a call.

 

I was not going to bring that up. The deal was done if Morey was willing to give PJ and Eric to Minnesota.

 

We will never know because - step back 3 is what he will take

 

So so painful. We had a guy dropping 30 a game and attracting double teams and we still lost 4-1

 

We’d be headed to the finals if he came here too. What he’s doing in Miami is big dog **** though.

 

The east is far stronger than the west in my opinion, and in general there aren't any really great teams.
This year the teams are so average.

 

this is surprising he’s been a killer in these playoffs.

 

He has like a 64 TS in the playoffs...its fine lol.

 

OMG Bam! That was massive!

 

The last man on the Heat's rotation (Crowder) would probably be our 3rd or 4th best player. Is there any big more mobile than Bam in the NBA, other than maybe AD? A big that can move his feet as well as a guard and not be vulnerable on a switch is more valuable IMO than a deadeye 3 point shooter.

 

I cant see the image.

Had the #1 overall pick. Drafted Fultz instead of Tatum.

Had Butler. Lost Butler.

Trust the process?

 

This is just pure speculation, but I think he's much more aware of his limitations than Westbrook. When Jimmy drives, he generally drives to probe or pump fake and draw contact to get to the line. He has similar skills to Lowery there. He's still willing to be the bail out shooter, but he knows he's not option #1 nor should he be. It just so happens that in these playoffs, he's been very good a clutch shooting.

Basically, his offensive skillset is similar to Westbrook, but his brain makes him overall a more effective offensive player. Defensively, it's not close.
