Now it’s my turn to say I was right all along. PJ and Strus were invisible. Bam went back to his usual sub par self and Butler pulled a disappearing act. Meanwhile Tatum had his usual game after that putrid game 3 outing and didn’t really need much else but Brown and the others didn’t suck like Miami. Weird series. I’ll say you were right for one game. Bam back to his “usual sub par self” ? C’mon now Butler has always been streaky…40 points one night, 8 the next. That’s just who he is. The one thing you can always count on with him, is to be an elite closer. He plays at a superhuman level on both sides of the ball in the final minutes of close games. 18 combined points from their starting 5…WOW ! Definitely can’t respect that, and Smart wasn’t even out there defending… Might as well say you were right Moekid again |

That doesn’t check out either. Miami has more players on their roster that are/have been All Stars, and nearly twice as many collective All Star appearances. If you really wanna state something accurate, try going with, you don’t follow basketball…. LOL. Gotta bunch of has beens like your guy Lowry (back to back ofers) and fringe guys like Robinson who may, due to the weakness of east in the 2010’s been “all stars” in name only. Butler now looks broken down as well and Bam has hit the front of the rim so many times I can’t believe he is still shooting. I am starting to wonder whether Butler is throwing the games. Jimmy no buckets. Miami doesn’t have near the squad that Boston does. Even Freak can see that. Robinson has never been anywhere close to being an All Star. It’s Butler (6x), Bam (1x), Lowry (6x) and Oladipo (2x). Boston has Tatum (3x), Brown (1x) and Horford (6x). Tatum is the best player on the floor, and Smart & Time Lord are the 2 best defenders. Horford has played very well in this series (and the last series), but if you wanna talk about guys whose best years are behind them, he’s at the top of the list. If you wanna talk about guys making an All Star squad only because they were in the East, I’d throw Brown at the top of that list. Much like Horford, I think Brown is an ideal fit on that Boston team, throw him within another group and I don’t think you see the same results. Brown is a great “Robin”, for Tatum. Lowry isn’t a “has been” yet, while his scoring is declining he’s still the best playmaker in this series, a solid defender and a great leader. Oladipo is coming back from a major injury but has proven he’s still the same guy, and there isn’t a team out there (including the Celtics) that wouldn’t love to have him coming off their bench. Butler & Bam are far from has beens. Herro has been hurt so unable to contribute to the series. Overall the Heat have more talent (they didn’t secure the #1 seed with a bunch of nobody’s & has beens) but they have definitely played like garbage the past 2 games. They definitely don’t deserve to win the series if they play like they have the past 2 games. And Freak couldn’t pick a basketball out of a lineup, if you placed a volleyball, soccer ball and medicine ball next to it…

Maybe he’s still hurt? Aside from Horford, Boston’s key guys are coming into their prime. Miami’s key guys look old and tired. Jimmy Butler is now embarrassing himself out there. |

Google can tell you who Time Lord is. I don’t think there is any arguing that these past 2 games, the Heat have not been playing anywhere near their potential. Obviously this is not normal for them, or they would not be the #1 seed and in the Conference Finals. Whether some of them are playing hurt, or whatever the case may be, they simply aren’t getting it done and it’s not my responsibility to come up with excuses for them. I’m not a Heat fan, nor did I even pick them to win this series (I didn’t pick either team - I said whomever wins this series goes on to win the Championship). I couldn’t pick either team, because I thought it was going to be a great matchup too close to have a real solid idea about, not because I thought only one team would show up to each game. If anyone says they saw this series going the way it has been, don’t trust them, because they must be a liar…

Congrats to Dallas on a great run. Took out Utah and Phoenix. Luka showed a lot of toughness against Dallas and going into Phoenix and winning game 7 in massive blow out fashion was pretty surprising and inspiring.
GSW back in the finals for the 6th time in 8 years and the 2 years they missed they didn’t even make the playoffs. Klay Thompson had a fantastic game after missing the last 2 seasons with bad knee injuries. Guy is a baller. Fun team to watch. Great ball movement and lots of weapons.
If it’s GSW/Boston, the Celtics will have a significant size advantage. That will be an interesting series.

I’m going with Dallas. I can’t even pick between Miami & Boston, but I think one of them wins the Championship. Congrats and being wrong on everything in this post. GSW takes out the Maves, then takes out the Celtics to win the Championship. Freak’s giving himself endless hand jobs for posting exactly what I posted but it took him 4 days longer. Congrats Freak on your brilliance.

The great thing about sports is that you just don’t know. I thought Boston was a lock tonight. I wasn’t alone in that. Everybody did. I thought they’d blow em out at home. I thought Boston would win up until about 40 seconds were left. But Miami players all saw Draymond Green say they would be playing the Celtics last night and used it. Butler returning from the missing persons list and had a monster game. Even Lowry was good. Bam was shit but it didn’t matter cuz Butler had 47. Will he be able to do it in game 7? Doubt it. Is Tyler Herro coming back? Doubt it. Have no idea what will happen in game 7 but the Celtics aren’t closers and that’s gonna eat at em for the next 2 days
