Jimmy is him.

And Max Strus was in bounds.

i think i've watched more basketball over the last month/month and a half than i have in the previous 5-10 years. i've been watching with one of my kids who's big into basketball.

watching Jokic has been fun. he makes it all look effortless.

Same. I really haven't enjoyed the NBA for years, but the Nuggets style of play is so fun to watch!

2nd quarter was so good.
3rd was so bad.

Man, I was feeling MIA last night but never placed this bet....

Jimmy is still him. I'm not going crazy over here but it was nice to at least win one and make everybody at least pause for a second before planning Boston's parade.

Miami's winning the chip.

There's people taking MIA here in Boston. One radio guy, who does a lot of serious betting, has MIA in six. If you look at how the C's play them, he's not necessarily wrong. C's give it up on defense against this team.

Butler on Brown, double-team on Tatum.

Between White, Horford, Brogdon, Smart, and Williams I have to think the Cs have the scoring to adjust and win the series.

The Celtics have so much scoring, they'll be fine. Miami probably won't outscore them from three again this series. The only reason that I have any shred of hope is Jimmy's confidence. He's just so believable when he tells everybody that the Heat are going to win. He just continues to blow me away.

Thinking of transitioning to a Spurs fan.

I've not had Boston getting out of the East from R1. Even after Milwaukee went out I wasn't convinced. I hope I'm wrong of course.

Such a frustrating team to support!

Very frustrating and kind of an unlikable team. Horford is probably my favorite player. This is probably the old man's last shot at a title.

I love White and Williams (the third) and Brown. Horford is the best looking man in the NBA. Give him his ring.

That L is on Bron.

Think I touched a nerve there.

Man I dunno. He shut down Joker in the fourth.

He did? Both guys looked pretty gassed. Lebron took several possessions off and lazily jogged/walked down in transition (even in the 4th). Weird Lebron game. I can only imagine the fatigue will get worse with games every other night, travel, and altitude changes.

I believe Joker had no points in the fourth. Some of that was Murray getting red hot I suppose.
