Nobody would turn that down, lol.

I can’t see any other pathway to them winning the series to be honest.

 

[DJ Fieri]

NHL....LOL.

They need 35-40 from aggressive Jimmy Buckets.

Not happening. He wont say it but the ankle is holding him back. Saw something following game 3 that prior to turning his ankle game 1 vs the knicks, he shot over 50% in all their games except 1. Since the injury, only shot 50% once.

He can give us high 20s/low 30s but im not expecting a game that he gave us in the bucks series

Jimmy definitely seems like he is hobbled by an injury, even tho isnt talking about it. He game play has changed. But if we can get 30pts from Jimmy and 25pts from Bam, Miami should win tonight. I cant imagine all their role players not showing up at home again.

If im Spo tho, Im hopefully realizing that the Zeller experiment is NOT working. Either play Yurt or just continue with small ball. Zeller hurts us so bad out there. I would even cut Strus minutes and give Highsmith some more playing time.

The extender is in Miami tonight.....do your thing scott

It’s not the same Jimmy that was playing against Jrue Holliday unfortunately. The explosiveness I saw from round 1 is gone. Like Bks said, he won’t admit it but Jimmy not at a hundred percent.

Miami is better when the role players are clicking. Jimmy and Bam don't need to be great, just really good-still the 1-2 punch but Jimmy doesn't need to score 40. The role players always will affect the end result for Miami. If a couple guys step up and get 20 points or guys are hitting shots then Miami is at their best. Jimmy and Bam just need to play well on both sides of ball and make crucial plays but the role players will determine if this is going 5 or 7.

This team we're playing don't belong on the same court as us (even if they talk a lot)... I hope our guys realize that.

Let's not give them too much hope by dropping Game 4.

Go Nuggets!

They beat the 1 seed and the 2 seed in the East, they clearly belong. Worst thing we can do is overlook them like we did in game 2 and then find ourselves fighting to stay alive just like they are now.

That "we're playing"?

 

[dtgold88]

I just think its the finals and he doesn't need to be 100%. If he's at 85% then you give him a go

Ok, but what if the docs are saying he could do a lot more harm to it by playing? Have their docs/trainers really given you reason not to trust them?

 

[bksballer89]

I go on espn app and first thing i see is something about how SAS think Jimmy should play fewer minutes in game 4 lmfao

These are the ppl the casuals go to. Lets play Jimmy 35 minutes in the closest thing to a must win
