seeing all those sad bostonians in the crowd kinda makes me happy

"What went wrong"
"We shot 21% from 3"
"Is this team too reliant on the 3? Does that have to change?"
"No"

Lmao

They should consider teaching Jaylen Brown how to dribble a ball

Miami shot 50% for 3's (14/28).

Both Florida teams were an 8 seed, had to beat a Boston in a game 7, and are going to the Finals respectively.

Obligatory, Fuck Vegas.

Are the Celtics keeping him?

[Krandor]

He's absolutely fantastic as a second option, but as last night and last year's finals showed, man has zero handles.

He's getting the bag for sure, but he clearly has a major hole in his game he should probably work on.

[Andalusian girls]

ye he's a fine two-way player he's just not a #1 option because of the handling / passing limitations

only 26 and has improved near every other aspect of his game but we'll see, eventually everyone runs into hard limitations to their game

Heat will take the first game at Miami, Nuggs in 5

[Deejay]

but real talk, I'm excited to see what Denver tries to do with the 2 headed beast that is Jimmy and Caleb. They're prolly gonna do a lot of switching but I'd imagine Gordon will have his hands full tracking Caleb, and will really need to stay out of foul trouble for them to have a chance. Bam really struggles against bigs who can match his strength and agility tho, so I don't imagine he'll exploit Jokic much

on the flip, i dont think the heat will have the luxury of switching between man and zone to slow down denver. that shit has mpj corner three written all over it. Miami's livelihood will prolly hinge on how well they can slow Denver in transition and prevent them from getting easy buckets. Denver really exploited LA in that area, but everyone on Miami can run, so I don't think it'll be that easy. If (BIG IF) bam can hold his own against Jokic in transition and halfcourt, I like their chances

I'm going Miami in 7. I don't think Denver has an answer for Jimmy. Two or three foul calls and they're in big trouble. Jokic feasted on poor defenses all postseason but if anyone has the facility to slow him, its Miami
