2023 NBA Playoffs - Other Teams

[Mainstreet]

how are you down 21 at home in a game where the other team has shot only 4 ft's?

Heat have shot 14-28 from three, Boston 8-33.

 

[GatorAZ]

I bet Jaylen Brown has played his last game as a Celtic.

 

[Mainstreet]

Lowry is tough as nails.

 

[Lefty]

Jaylen Brown has been horrible. I say Denver in five.

 

[Mainstreet]

The announcers are now talking about Tatum's ankle.

 

[Hoop Head]

Boston is still pretty young. I wonder if they move Jaylen Brown. I think he's a better second option than Tatum is first option. Brown can be Pippen but Tatum can't be MJ. They'll need more to get a title. They're still young-ish but clearly something isn't working.

If Boston’s shots are not falling they fall apart in every other aspect of the game. They are a weird team.

I am trying to think of a similar run through the playoffs like Miami... And I can't come up with one. No one could predict this or even imagine it. This is an example of why sports are so great.

 

[Mainstreet]

The Heat are going to advance to the Finals.

 

[Russ Smith]

Give it up to Miami, no Herro, no Oladipo, Love hobbled, Vincent hobbled, Jimmy playing hurt and they took 3 of 4 in Boston and blow them out in game 7.

Knicks in 99 but that was a lockout year so being an 8 seed wasn't quite the same.

 

[Mainstreet]

Heat leave no doubt tonight after coming back from a heartbreaking loss in game 6.

 

[Mainstreet]

So it's the Heat vs the Nuggets in the Finals.

 

[Hoop Head]

Heat in 6. This is their year. They don't fold under pressure and their resiliency is unmatched. They can play virtually any style.

 

[Russ Smith]

They CLEARLY expected Boston to win when they made those we're all in the Finals commercials.

 

[Proximo]

Heat in 6. This is their year. They don't fold under pressure and their resiliency is unmatched. They can play virtually any style.

Nah. That will not happen unless Jokic gets hurt.

it’s Denver’s year.

 

[Finito]

Denver is going to roll. Both these teams tried so hard to give this series away.

This is just as much Boston then it is Miami. Boston has been to the ECF like 4 out of the last 5 years. They just aren’t those dudes. They have to break that Boston team up. They’ve clearly gone as far as they can go

 

[Russ Smith]

Surprised Butler got MVP. I love the guy but Martin to me was the best player in the series.

 

[Raindog]

Heat in 6. This is their year. They don't fold under pressure and their resiliency is unmatched. They can play virtually any style.

Maybe. I have no doubt that Miami at full strength would crush Denver. But it depends on how much the health issues affect them.

One advantage that Miami definitely has is going to be mental toughness. They had to run a gauntlet of better teams than Denver, and do it while overcoming quite a bit of adversity. I can see Denver folding up if they have any unexpected trouble, but not Miami.

It's award voting, and a newer award at that. The league wants names of surefire hall of famers on there right now. Caleb Martin deserved it a little more but where will he be in 2 years?

 

[Finito]

Yeah sorry don’t see it. No way no how

If Miami were healthy I could see a sweep but they'll lose at least 1 in Denver. To win the series they're going to need to steal a game in Denver and win at home. This series will rest on Bam's shoulders. He can't be timid like he was tonight or it'll get ugly.

Hopefully Kevin Love is healthy or closer to 100% because they need size to throw at Jokic.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jokic is for real. If the Nuggets are healthy, I think they win the series.

There is a chance Tyler Herro could return for the Heat. He was working out before game 7.

 

[DJ Tabooh]

I’d lean Nuggets in 6. Miami is going to throw the kitchen sink at Jokic and even though he’s gonna get his, if they can limit Jamal, they’ve got a shot.

Murray is the key for Denver. The offense is so free flowing and there are times when he over dribbles and it can get to where he’s playing 1 on 1. As we’ve seen he’s very streaky but when he’s going offensively, they become unguardable.

Can Miami make enough threes to keep up with Denver in the Mile High? Game 1 will be interesting. I think this series will be closer than people think. Denver is better but Miami has nothing to lose and Jimmy’s on a mission.

I would have bought one for $35,800, but you gotta draw the line somewhere.
