Series Thread: 1) Miami Heat vs. 2) Boston Celtics

What happened to him? He was a big part of the team not too long ago.

Got paid and his shooting is no longer as reliable as it was previously. Doesn't help that his defense is bad. Strus is a damn good shooter and a better defensive player.

It's odd how that works but each game is different. Game 1 is one way, so you think ok just do that again, but then game 2 is totally different, and so on. It's about makes and misses, and a lot of randomness.

Yup. Sports is so random. Blowout one way. Blowout the other way. The only constants are that you never really know what will happen and that the Warriors are the good guys.

Just got in to the thread. Has @bksballer89 started boo-hooing about his beloved heat getting fouled every possession yet?

I love Strus. Why couldn't the Warriors get him? Damn.

Pitiful

With 3 point shots flying at the rate they do in the current NBA, I wonder if players' muscle memory for 2 point shots have been thrown off.

 

[bksballer89]

Dipo came to ball

 

[thunderc]

Robert Williams just a guy Boston can’t do without

 

[DJ Fieri]

Oladipo has 11 of Miami's 16 points.

Indeed. The reason sports are such massive draws vs other entertainment is no one can be sure what will happen. It's new information every night. And randomness is a big part of it, all of these teams are full of the best people on the planet at what they do. The difference between them is pretty small.

Heat are still very much in this game.

Yup. It's like a heavyweight fight. Either guy can knock the other one out.

A few more shots go in, team A wins. A few miss, team B does.

If they were in Miami I would agree. You go down 20 on the road to a desperate good team, it's probably over.

 

[Manster7588]

I hope they pull it off, decided I'd rather face Miami in the finals. Either team will be a tougher out than Denver or Dallas.

Have you ever heard. Don't count your Chickens before they hatch?












Oh, nevermind you can count them.

Oh well, I suppose this suits the Warriors-Mavs winner. Maybe we see a 7 game series in the East.

Wouldn't mean much in the long run. If it goes the 7, the winner would still get 3 days off before game 1

How was Brown's layup not a travel? Seems pretty obvious in slo-mo.

Pretty much everyone taking it to the hole does the same, IMO 3 steps should be worth a violation

 

[bksballer89]

Such a disappointment.

As bad as Herro been, I still miss him
