This Miami Heat team feels special

[Robceltsfan]

Bitterness isn't a good look on you.

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.

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.

You fucking monster!!!

Yeah! I've been relishing Jimmy Butler's terrible postseason run this year more than I probably should.





Oh. Wait... woe.

[rileymartin]

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.

They most likely would have had the 4 seed against the Pacers, but either way, no chance the Pacers were beating the Heat, especially without Sabonis...

As for Milwaukee, Miami beat them both times they played them before the bubble, including in Milwaukee...

The Celtics series is up for debate, but while Miami was worse on the road, they were a better home team than the Celtics, so it evens out...

Absolutely nothing would be different under normal circumstances right now...

Dumb take...

[Shill Jackson]

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?

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.

Swansong!?

While I’d agree that he is on the back end of his career,
he did average 25/8/10, which is just slightly off his career average in scoring, and improvements in rebounding and assists. Lowest minutes of his career too.
Second best record in the league, mvp candidate, and still in the playoffs.
Not done just yet I would guess.

Karl's time away may have been in prison.

That is some underhanded stuff.

[rileymartin]

Celtics in 6.

Under normal circumstances maybe, but this is the bubble, Miami has some huge advantage over all of these other teams apparently...

I did say Lakers team, not just this season. What I meant is that Lebron seems content to ride out his twilight years in LA.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL at Kawhi Leonard.

Something we can all agree on!

Absolutely nothing would be different? Now that seems like a dumb take.

Idk, I think next year might tell as a lot more about how for real this Heat team is assuming they don’t go through drastic changes.

[rileymartin]

The Heat are simply the best team in the East right now, and there is no better way to find that out than to duke it out on a nuetral court...LOL at the Celtic apologists crying because Boston isnt getting bullshit home cooking calls...

[Shill Jackson]

Very balanced scoring.
Nice win.

He's had worse looks like being Rippers #1 fan.

[Sudanese Sensation]

They remind me of the 03-04 Pistons, not their style of play of course but the fact they have no true superstats but won a championship because the sum of their team was greater than the individual parts.

And when they play the ball never sticks.

[kobeunderbite]

Feels about as special as the 2009 Magic lol

[rileymartin]

Boston probably sweeps this series under normal circumstances...

[rileymartin]

[Uncontroversial]

Celtics in 6.

[Thedictator]

[Havlicekstealsit]

Lakers will score 100 before Miami breaks 70.
