    Miami matches up well with GS...if Herro's healthy, and Lowry at 90-95%.

    My reverse jinx worked!

    Best game of the series by far tonight.

    Minimum Strus is back to MAX STRUS tonight! And of course Butler having another epic playoff performance.

    I think Boston has a better chance beating GS. Both team are great on defense. On offense, Tatum > Butler

    100%. MIA is an incredible tough.gutsy team but they are terrible on offense right now with Lowry limited by injuries, Duncan Rob unplayable and Butler not fully healthy.

    I think Boston is the favorite if they make the finals. By most analytics (simple and advance), they've been the best team in the NBA since early Jan.

    538, ESPN and many other sites that run advance predictive algorithm have them as 70% to 80% favorites. I think it's closer to 50%-60%

    Bunch of missed calls late in game.


    Game 7 = more money and better rests for the Warriors?

    NBA FINALS start on JUNE 2nd regardless of tonights game.

    Butler has had some EPIC performances in the playoffs the past 3 years.

    Exactly. If Miami wins - by no means certain in game 7 - my best guess is their eke-it-out style is going to lead to yet another title for a 53-win Warrior team, easily their weakest finalist yet.

    Last year it was Giannis upsetting Harden fanbois, last night it was Curry, tonight it’s Jimmy Butler again after he eliminated that sorry ass not long ago.

    Mark Jackson: "don't blame us, the Butler did it"

    He was saving that one.

    I cheer him less, because he chose MIA over us. It is what it is.
