[tlance]

Someone said you are smart? Lol

Little too soon for you to go there after how bad you looked on our exchange from a couple days ago.

Remember when you swore up and down that I was wrong?

Hey dude I was joking

I’m calling Greenie a moron not Reddick

Yeah he's the same guy who weather in Miami was the reason why the Knicks shot poorly

Tatum better than Butler
Brown better than Bam
Miami bench is trash
Gabe Vincent, Caleb, and Strus all wouldn't be rotation players on other teams

BOSTON DOWN 3-1

Fuck are you talking about

Literally nobody said any of that.

But keep making up narratives.

Lakers should rest starters in the playoffs up 3-0 guy too.

In fairness to him, he decided to throw away all integrity for millions of dollars so script writers at ESPN can tell him what hot take to grab so they can create content.

I guess at the very least I can say thank you to the Heat for not taking Maxey and instead taking a 6'8 center with zero spacing ability...otherwise the east would be pretty hopeless starting last year going forward.

Tyrese Maxey says he'll 'never forget' how the Miami Heat passed on him in the 2020 NBA Draft

One player who has been a constant thorn in the sides of Heat players during the series has been young guard Tyrese Maxey.

I'm aware......though my apologies was thinking I was replying to BK who had said EVERYONE sounds like they think the series is tied.

Clearly that is not true as JJ doesn't seem to think that.

should add I did think it was funny bk liked your comment even though it proved his was wrong and he was making up something else to complain about.

My take on the series is that the big 2’s on each team are supposed to roughly cancel out.

Butler is the best player in the series.

Tatum is supposed to be close behind but he hasn’t been. Brown been inconsistent as well.

Miami role players have done their jobs well.

Celtic role players are just really good IMO. It is why they made the Finals last year and why they are in the ECF this year.

Brogdon, White and Smart is an awesome trio of role player guards. Horford is old, but also a great fit for the team. And Grant + time lord provide toughness, rebounding and defense with some shot making from Grant.

Celtics are a complete team.

This series has flipped because Butler has so drastically outplayed Tatum and Brown and Miami role players have been more consistent than Boston’s through 4 games.

Miami deserves all the credit in the world for making the Celtics look pretty mediocre.

But if the Celtics play their best, they have an extra gear Miami can’t reach.

All Miami has to do is out tough Boston 1 more time and they are playing for a title.

I’ll laugh my ass off if the Celtics somehow win 4 straight.

Highly doubtful but Jeter and Arod in attendance was kinda funny. They know a thing or two about being up 3 - 0 and choking.

Even Heat fans thought their team wasn't going anywhere. Instead of enjoying the moment they are acting like everyone was against the Heat. I would say 90% of the nation thought Miami would lose to MIL and BOS. It's ok, enjoy it. They were the underdog and they won. If I was a Heat fan I would be enjoying the hell out of this...underdog is always the best story and makes it a magical season.

I'm pretty sure most on here said Miami would be scary with playoff Jimmy.

Brown is not a top 10 player

That vote felt like the writers giving it to brown because of how much money it would cost him if they didn’t

Exactly!

They are getting pissed that Miami isn’t the favorite.

When it is the underdog mentality that has fueled them to get here.

I am enjoying watching it.

Rooting for Boston in game 5 because I want basketball to watch.

But I would be happy to see Nuggets/Heat Finals

He isn’t close to top 10

All NBA is becoming kind of a joke.

I mean if the Knicks were able to get to a game 6 with Miami then the Celtics definitely can too, if not a game 7.

Well boston didn't have scott foster cheat for them in a game or else the knicks would have gotten swept

 

[trojanfan12]

Show me where I said that?

I said Smart, White and Brogdon are better.

I never said Martin is trash

He is a good role player any team would want.

Those 3 Celtics are better.

@bksballer89 is deep in his feels right now which turns him into a 15 year old girl.

Everything becomes extreme and over the top.

So simply stating that one player is better than the other means you are calling that other player trash.

I raised 3 daughters, I know this well. lol

Oh that’s riiiiiight.
I completely forgot about all that.
How silly of me.


C’mon, man.
Wow

We really going to act like he didn't hand the Knicks game 2?
