Series Thread: Eastern Conference Finals: Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat

[tlance]

I don't know why the Celtics don't consistently beat the zone like they have this 2nd half... it's crazy, that sh!t should not fly as far as the Heat have made it fly in an Eastern Conference Finals.

Especially against a team like Boston!

Everyone on the court can shoot and most can attack off the dribble. They should be a zone nightmare.

Drive into gaps, draw the extra defender and kick for a wide open 3. Or go all the way to the rim if they don’t help fast enough.

Probably really good for both him and the Heat, in all honesty

Yep. Beyond frustrating losing like this.

I don't either. But he's growing in terms of his game and confidence, quickly. I make that comparison simply based on likeability in South Florida. If you're a winner and produce, you'll be loved down there.

Right, that's so different from any other city...

Miami's a different breed. Much different than other big cities that I've lived in (Dallas, San Antonio, Seattle).

You don't think those cities like their winners who produce?

Aikman/Emmitt, Tim Duncan, Russell Wilson?

 

[Heatles84]

You mentioned nothing about likeability. You said he's on his way to become Wade. Next time be a little more clear. I can see him growing in popularity in Miami. But skill set he's not close to Wade right now.

I did mention status, but agreed, his skillset is vastly different than Wade's. Wade was nowhere near the shooter Herro is; and Herro is far away from being the defender and dynamic player that Wade was.

Miami will rip you apart faster than any of those cities if you're not producing. They'll love you more if you're winning and producing. I've been introduced to other cities and can make an actual comparison.

You know nothing about the culture down in South Florida, I do. So do you really want to have a pointless debate about it?

Other big cities don't appreciate guys who are winners and produce?

This was your comment - "If you're a winner and produce, you'll be loved down there."

down there could pretty much be any sports city and this would be true (though I guess for some areas would be up there, over there, etc).

No but looks like @dtgold88 is up for it, per usual

I have him on ignore, lucky me.

Yeah, otherwise he could be going into tomorrow's game all tore up. lol

I'll say this about Herro. The sky's the limit for that kid. I think he has the potential to be a superstar.

 

[Shanemansj13]

No he's not. Stop that. In the ECF he's 12-35 (.343) from downtown.

I hope you didn't take my comment that seriously but the Celtics let a rookie torch them lol

Cleveland is more appreciative. I can guarantee that, problem is, it's doesn't happen too often lol

Superstar? LOL I think he can be a deadly shooter and he is more than just a shooter but superstar...there are only a handful in the game. You think he is going to be a superstar like Doncic?...I doubt that. That's is way different than a clear All-Star or even star player...superstars change the game and can carry a team on their back game after game. Klay isn't even a superstar, just a great player and shooter.

Bam can be a star.
Herro can be an All-Star caliber player, maybe even a star.

But I wouldn't say either have superstar capability. That is extreme.

Herro was incredible last night. Still trying to figure out what happened to Tatum in the first half though. He had a damn good second half. But it wasn't enough.

Bam already is a star. I agree about Herro
