Series Thread: Eastern Conference Finals: Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat

[Wamu]

Yeah, I like Doris. I like Reggie Miller (he's actually my favorite color commentator), but I wouldn't miss Webber.

Webber's awful. And Doris isn't much better. Reggie's really good.

The entire suns team and your first round pick

Honestly, the way Herro plays... I’d give up Cam........ FUCK WE COULDVE HAD HIM!

I actually think Miami present something the Lakers haven't seen all playoffs (Boston as well) A group that doesn't need their best players to score a lot to win games. Miami can win games where their best 2 players score 15 points each. Lakers in the playoffs played teams that depend heavily on the top 2 to carry the offense. In the finals it will be different. Lock in on Boston best 2 players then Gordon, Smart, and Brown can lead them to wins. Lock in on Bam and Jimmy then Tyler, Dragic, Duncan, and Crowder can help you win games

I agree. I don't think the Heat will win the series, I think Lebron and AD are too much and the Lakers overall are too big. But the fact that they can't focus on shutting down one or 2 players does present a different challenge.

They don't even seem like they have anyone who feels like they have to try to be that guy. Butler is probably the closest, but he's shown that if his teammates are hitting, he's happy to just do other stuff to help them win.

For the Heat "that guy" is just whoever is hitting their shots and whoever happens to be open.

Also, against both the Blazers and Rockets, the Lakers eventually took their heart and made them essentially quit.

I don't think that can be done to the Heat.

Doris' voice can be a little grating. But she knows her hoops.

This team will always keep fighting no matter what

 

[ChrisperJ10]

Oh by the way... Nuggets in 5

Yep very knowledgeable for a national color commentator.

Yup. Win or lose they go out swinging...

 

[bksballer89]

You wanna sleep with her don't you?

Because of how the Suns played in the bubble they'll be the favorites to win it all next season.

No, don't want to hear that voice during sex.

Yeah and if Boston wants to win this series, Tatum the pinocha better start penetrating that damn zone and get to the foul line... I honestly think he’s afraid of that dribble drive through Butler. Spoelstra is going to be ready for Brown

 

[Robotech]

Did they really need 5 minutes to make that call?

 

[bksballer89]

bogus call

Exactly! That’s why the Nuggets will win in 5...

 

[Wamu]

FYI I’m going for Miami because I think they’d give the Lakers a better fight. Tatum puts up these stats, but plays like a Pinocha.. I expected better but he’ll probably prove me wrong lol

Are you insulting Tatum? If so this is 'Murica pal, home of the fuckin' Whooper. Insult him in english. Thank you.

 

[bksballer89]

That was such a shitty bailout call with all the momentum in Miami's favor

That was a no-doubt foul on Robinson.

The problem with Boston is they dont have clear leader at this point. Even if Jimmy hasnt been the best player, he is their leader.
Neither of these teams will beat LA, they can make it tough but not a legit shot. Miami has the “better” chance imo
