This Miami Heat team feels special

Don’t think they would have made it to the finals in a regular format, but they appear to be headed there now.

Why wouldn't they make it in a regular format? Many experts predicted that Miami would give the Bucks lots of trouble, and Miami beat the Bucks in a "regular" format too...

And the Celtics are playing at an elite level right now, and miami still stayed resiliant and pulled out a win even when they got behind by like 13 points...

The Heat are simply getting hot at the right time, and they are gelling, which happens during a "regular" format all the time.

Very dumb take...

They feel like the 01 Sixers for me with long term potential. I and so many people was wrong about Jimmy but I can admit that and am rooting for him now and hopes he continues to make the 6ers look dumb.

While I agree in hindsight that it was dumb to let him walk I also can't root for him. I want whoever wins the West to take the title. Preferably LA.

I feel like I'm always going to root for the team with no true superstar leading them. Butler is a dog and will fight to the very end. Spo is a good coach that gets the most out of players. Bam is a beast and that block may be the 2nd best block in NBA playoffs history.

I'm really rooting for this team to go all the way.

I agree on Butler. He's the kind of guy you'd love to have on your team.

A Denver v Miami finals would be fun. Unfortunately, we'll almost certainly get the godless Lakers.

Does it ruin Denver's historic run if they lose to the Lakers?

Very dumb take...

It’s impossible to know how they would have done in road environments. It would have been a completely different playoff.

Don't mind him. He's the guy that predicted a national title for FSU a few years back and they ended with something like 6 losses.

Yeah, they were 15-22 on the road this year and wouldn’t have had HCA in any series unless they would have surpassed the Pacers. They could have made the finals, sure. But it’s far from a guarantee and I wouldn’t bet on it.

Does it ruin Denver's historic run if they lose to the Lakers?
Not if they're competitive, I don't think. They may (probably will) lose. But they are a team on the rise, with two young superstars. This Lakers team is maybe Lebron's swansong, but Denver are going to be a force to be reckoned with in the WC for a while yet.


Edit:

Also, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL at Kawhi Leonard.

I COMPLETELY DISAGREE!!!!!!!!

I find it really funny that arguably the most mature poster on our board has a little bit of bitterness towards Kawhi. I doubt it is as much as he is pretending here, but funny nonetheless.

I remember feeling something very similar when that little cock sucking mother fucker asshole Steve Francis spurned the Grizz. I took it really well.

Celtics in 6.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are dumber than that.

All good man - was mostly kidding myself.

I'm not watching the NBA currently or I'd probably join you in laughing. Sounds like he and Playoff P (LOL) stunk it up last night.

I only felt a little bad watching Hayward trying to figure out why his toes were pointed the wrong way in that first game as a Celtic.
