"Celtic Pride?" It better kick in PDQ or they're going to be exercising it by seeing who can catch the biggest catfish.

The Heat better have Dragic handle the ball instead of Herro.

The Celtics just seem to have the deeper team. I suspect if the Heat want to win this series, they better win tonight.

Is it just me, or does Hayward look like the lead singer from Maroon 5?
Pretty sure the Heat got this. Not just well-coached and well-put together, but very emotionally tough.

I'm not so sure. I think Boston's starters are good, but they don't always play very well together, and their bench doesn't seem to be worth much at all.

Bam might be the best player on either team, and when they can add any two of Dragic-Butler-Herro paying well, they're tough to beat.

Honestly, I'm not sure how people can watch this Heat team and not root for them. Easily my favorite non Mavs team of these playoffs.

Looking at the aforementioned emotional toughness of young players like Adebayo, Herro, and Robinson, I think the Mavs need to take a big look at those qualities when looking at draft and undrafted player qualities.

Because they are the HEAT. They could have 5 puppies on the floor and I would still root for the other team.

Smart was not set at all there.

They can't hurt you anymore, my dude. Let it go!

If they get Giannis, they'll win four rings in a row and keep Luka from his destiny.

Ok, I see it's time for Marcus "Grifter" Smart.
RE: Around the NBA 2019-2020 | LAL to Finals | MIA up 3-2 - mtrot - 09-27-2020
Well, I was wrong; the Heat pouring it on now. I also love the way they play ball.

Never. Wade is bragging on twitter. Haslem is still on the roster. Riley still runs the show.

This was Walker's first playoffs, right? Not only too little for big players on D, but lacked the required toughness.

It's understandable if you haven't been watching them consistently. They don't look like much at a glance, but I have seen every game they've played in the playoffs, and believe me when I tell you that they have been the best team in the bubble, so far.
A couple of stretches of tonight's game might actually be the worst I've seen them play. The end of this game is pretty much how they've looked consistently, if you can believe it.

Two first round exits with the Hornets but I agree. He was a big negative for the Celtics. Liability on defense and passive on offense. Felt like he wasn´t even the 3rd option.

So the Finals will feature either our long-lost brother Mak's evil idol Wade being happy, or Robillionaire's guy Rondo getting another ring. That's just greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeat.
