  1. I'm not penciling Denver to the Finals just yet. I think the Minny/PHO winner is going to be dangerous. 

    I have no idea what is going on with Boston. Maybe they just need to exorcise the Miami demon and they'll roll from there.

    But my God Brown and Tatum are just so often... flat. Watching them lose to Miami - again - I was thinking about the Durant/Westbrook days. Those guys would have bad games and they lost series (albeit to some really fucking good teams) but they wouldn't just disappear and look like deer in the headlights during playoff games against worse teams. They always had that gamebreaking potential to come screaming back out of nowhere or tear the roof off the arena and ride the momentum to a W. 

    I just don't see that that often with Tatum and Brown. It's like they're missing some sort of 5th gear or competitive edge or nastiness. 

    Can't wait for G3 of that one...

    Jimmy Butler trolls Celtics after Heat's Game 2 win

    The Miami Heat defeated the Boston Celtics 111-101 to tie the first round Eastern Conference series 1-1, and Jimmy Butler is loving it.

    The Heat star trolled the Celtics on Instagram after the game, photoshopping his face on top of Jaylen Brown's in a quote graphic from last season. Brown's quote "don't let us get one" came after Boston went down 3-0 in the Eastern Conference finals, which Miami went on to win in seven games.

    Even though he's not on the court due to injury, Butler has still found a way to talk trash.

    Without Butler, Terry Rozier and Josh Richardson, the No. 8 seed Heat rebounded from their 114-94 loss in Game 1 to the No. 1 Celtics. It's the fifth time they've lost a game by at least 20 points then won the following game by 10 points in a playoff series under Erik Spoelstra, tied for the most such wins by a head coach in NBA history, per Elias Sports Bureau.

    Miami hit 23 total 3-pointers, its most in a playoff game in franchise history, according to ESPN Stats & Information. Tyler Herro led the Heat with 24 points and 14 assists, including making or assisting on 16 3-pointers, the second-most in a playoff game in the last 25 years. His 14 assists are also the second-most in franchise history.

    "Before the series [Jimmy Butler] texted me to take the team and lead these guys... Everybody came to play. We lost bad in Game 1 and everyone responded," Herro said after the game.

    Butler suffered a right MCL injury against the Philadelphia 76ers in the play-in tournament game last Wednesday. He is expected to be sidelined for several weeks, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

    Game 3 is in Miami on Saturday.

     

    Remember when people were trying to say that the key to their run last season was Herro being out.

    Now Jimmy is out and they're doing the same shit.

  3. We aren't setting the league on fire yet but I'm standing by my optimism with this team. They just look cool and collected and unbothered. I think we just hang around .500 and the division lead until we need to kick it up a notch.

    I think come October we're going to again be a dangerous team.

    If Miami goes 23/43 from three every game, they might have a chance in this series. 

    Oh what the fuck ever Boston has major issues with these guys. They have no excuse losing at home.
