Butler will be responsible for at least one win for Miami.

Re: NBA Thread
I typed 5 but changed it to 4 at the last second. It's a 4 or 5 game series, Miami just doesn't have enough of anything really to compete with them. Really wish Doc and Harden would have waited one more series to go full Playoff Doc and Harden.Coach wrote:Butler will be responsible for at least one win for Miami.

It would nice if it only went 4,5 games as Boston could use the rest, I'm sure. They faded in the Finals last year and if they make it back again, that's a ton of basketball played over two years.

Re: NBA Thread
Sure, we can. They need to trade Poole and make one last run before the new CBA makes it impossible to build a complete roster for teams with high payrolls.4/5 wrote:Can we talk about the Warriors or is the wound too fresh?Monkey_Driven wrote:Celtics in 6

Now, who actually wants Poole? That's entirely different question.

Re: NBA Thread
I feel like there have been a lot of "the Warriors were terrible all along" takes this week which feels a lot like revisionist history. I think the Lakers were a uniquely bad matchup for the Warriors. In fact, I'd take Warriors over anybody that's left.

I'm somewhere in the middle of both takes to be honest. It was definitely a flawed team with some questionable chemistry, but also had the potential for greatness.4/5 wrote:I feel like there have been a lot of "the Warriors were terrible all along" takes this week which feels a lot like revisionist history.

I think Spoelstra wins them one game.Coach wrote:It would nice if it only went 4,5 games as Boston could use the rest, I'm sure. They faded in the Finals last year and if they make it back again, that's a ton of basketball played over two years.
Jimmy wins them another.
And maybe Tatum has another "I can't hit a shot so I'm going to pass to the other team all night" game.
That's a 7 game series, my friends.

Have the Cs figured out how to score against zone D since last year? I can't tell.

Al Horford had to apparently stop practice today because he felt the team was not locked in and too loose.
