Series Thread: 1) Miami Heat vs 8) Atlanta Hawks

45 pts on over 50% shooting with 0 turnovers. Doesn't get much better than that

Quite a different vibe to Atlanta tonight huh.

Fat ass Kyle Lowry mixing it up with forwards, LOL. Two Philly guys.

Played how a team down 1-0 should play. Not every team don't show up in either game 1 or 2 as Toronto did

Feels like at some point you would go Dipo over Vincent no?

Nope. Vincent is needed. Dipo is the 11th man right now. Martin as we saw last night is the 10th option because he is able to guard 1-4. Love Dipo but he came back too late. Didn't give him enough time. Forcing Dipo into the rotation was a big reason behind their 4 game losing streak in late March

You would know better than I for sure.

Ignoring the 60% shooting

Only the 5th player since 1978 per ESPN to have 45 and 0.

Trae young bitching as always

Stars are always going to complain to the refs during games but you don't see many blame the refs in postgame. Bitch move on his part, he whines way too much. You didn't play good enough, own up to it.

Yea...to me that's a fan thing. To be a player who turned the ball over 10 times but blame it all on the refs...lol. dude they called 24 fouls. Pretty reasonable amount considering the Hawks were settling on 3s for much of the 4th.

Did my usual as i typically do during mornings at work. Pulled up first take and undisputed youtube pages to see if i found any videos on the heat.

First take once again doesn't have anything about the game while undisputed once again had multiple videos about this game....and this is exactly what Bam was speaking about. So ridiculous

I get what you're saying and I agree to an extent.

However, the NBA is a star driven league and while you can say that Jimmy and Bam are stars...they aren't stars on the level of Lebron, Giannis, Embiid, KD, etc.

Also, being "buttoned up" and relatively drama free is boring (see the Timmy, Manu, Parker Spurs).

Kind of odd considering the Heat have the best local tv ratings of any of yesterday's teams.

A lot of things about espn are odd lol

Yep thats the main thing the heat guys point to. There is no drama in Miami. The little bit of drama they had with jimmy and spo and they were the talk of the town. Play great basketball from October thru april and we will treat them like the thunder lol

That's understandable during the regular season but playoffs? Nah that doesn't fly for me. You have a 2 hour show and 3 games were played. You can fit in a 10 minute segment on the hawks/heat games.

I mean...their hiring practices are atrocious anymore.

It's not always a bad thing man. The Browns got a lot less press last year when they were successful than this year with the Baker/OBJ/Watson stuff

Like i been saying, they don't watch basketball. Most of these espn basketball analysts are casual fans
