Horrible playoffs

Well, at least we got to see the new Thor Love and Thunder trailer.

Seriously, who listens to Cowherd?

 

[Manster7588]

His takes are designed to bring in listeners for the advertisers, and he's far better than anyone else on the radio

I agree to that. Not my ears though. Dan Patrick I'll listen to though.

 

[Picklerick 2.0]

Oh so now I didn't watch the game? What's wrong with you?

You said the other day that in game two Jimmy Buckets shot 60% when Smart guarded him. Yet Heat players shot 3-11 from the field when he was the primary defender.

So how did Jimmy Buckets shoots 60% against Smart when no Heat player did in game two?

Maybe he was 3-5 and the others were 0-6?

Eh. I find joy in beatdowns.

Eh. I find joy in beatdowns.

Me too, but it depends on what side of the beatdown I'm on.

When the Warriors pay Jordan Poole, I hope he doesn't become Bertans 3.0.

Poole can do a lot of things those guys can’t.

Neither of them can create offense.

Goddamn you!!!!!

3 Sons named Gary by 3 different Mothers!!!

At least he didn’t name any of his daughters Gary.

The Heat looked and played like a very old and tired team in game 4.

And although it's now down to a best of 3 with Miami having HCA, I still gotta give Boston the slight edge in this series.
I just think they want it more.....and they should have Marcus Smart back for game 5.

Want it more? Lol

It is a chance to play for the nba title. Both teams want this equally as bad

“Want it more” is such a lazy take.

Bam and Butler laid some eggs last night.

The Miami bench whooped up on Bostons bench.

Miami's starting lineup had a whopping 18 points.....LOL.

Yoga's right. You can see just see the "want" fading from the eyes of a lot of the Heat players. It's like they're collectively saying...."no mas". Sorry, dude.

All losses count the same. Doesn't matter if you lose by 1 or 40. Miami did what had to be done which was to get back HCA

 

[thunderc]

Teams that win game 5 in series tied 2-2 win the series 82.2 % of the time.

 

[flyingelvis]

Average margin of victory in this series for the Heat, 8.5. Average for the Celtics, 22.5. That feels like it should mean something in the best of 3 left.

The Celtics feel like the better team, but that game 3 loss at home is puzzling. It was sandwiched between two blowouts. WTF.

You dont get additional wins for margin of victory. It literally means nothing in a series. First to 4.

Exactly. The Heat went to Boston looking to take HCA back and that's what they did. You'd like to see them get greedy and win that 2nd game. But they accomplished their goal.
