2022-23 NBA Thread: “you’ll never let me down like the Heat did”, Miami fan says to giant pile of cocaine (4 Viewers)

[msudaisy26]

Heat down 9 at the Half...
Up 6 in less than 8 minutes into the 2nd Half

15-pt swing in 8 minutes, that could possibly be important as the Series progresses
Or the Heat could get blown out in less than 5, we'll see

Tatum already on his way to 30+ tonight, that cannot be good for the Heat

You are kinda all over the map here.

Is it OK to agree?
I think both posts are showing the Heat shortcomings
I'm gonna go grab a cold one

 

[Ministry of Pain]

BOOM!!!
Jimmy B
Hits the 3
Finds the 3 on the assist

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Tatum is so good, you get the lead to 9 and he cuts it to 6 in the blink of an eye

 

[msudaisy26]

According to Hayes, Harden is looking for a four-year deal, along with a competitive roster and the "basketball freedom" to play his game.

I don't think this works.

 

[identikit]

Zombie Heat puts up a 46 in the 3rd.

Wow

 

[HellToupee]

Where the hell was Marcus Smart going

 

[ShamrockPride]

Celtics playing down to their opponent again.

Miami just hit what, their last 6 or 7 shots straight?

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Boston 66-57 Half time score....

MIA scores 45,
Creates a 20-pt swing

MIA 102
BOS 91

WOW!!!

 

[Frostillicus]

Did Lowry sixth man it all year or is this new? Since Herro got hurt maybe? He's a great second unit PG.

 

[thecatch]

Not that the Wolves are giving KAT up for the 5th pick in the draft so whatever.

Throw in another asset or two then yes, I think they would.

 

[ShamrockPride]

46 pt quarter is humiliating if you're Boston. Like you actually have to try to let that many points up.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Where the hell was Marcus Smart going

Where the hell have you been?
I sent the bat signal out today...

:hi:

Disagree. The Celtics could be playing a little better, but the Heat are just playing good basketball and making shots.

They won't unless they're blow away by the deal.

He STINKS!!!
But he stunk in Toronto, he evaporates when you need him
But then he suddenly appears on certain nights
I love Herro but I'm not sure the Heat are standing here if he isn't injured
They almost needed to rely on Butler as the All Star to make it all happen

3 Eastern Conference Finals in 4 Years
Doc Rivers NONE in 3 seasons with the 76ers
Not sure what I'm trying to say there but most understand

KAT’s owed $85 million the next two years. That deal is them being blown away.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

How long can a guy like Vincent keep draining 3s in the 4th of the ECF?
And then Boston answers quickly
They are not allowing Miami to get into double digits

No, it's not.

Tatum on milk carton all second half.

This is not even close to an answer.

 

[offdee]

Does Jaylen Brown even need that mask anymore? Does he wear it cuz he likes it?

I don’t think much of KAT but if you think all he’s getting is the 5th pick I don’t know what to tell you.

I'd assume superstition kinda thing, like Rip back in the day.

 

[msudaisy26]

I remember when Rip Hamilton had to wear one and then like halfway through the year he was cleared to not wear it and he finished the year with it because he said something about it messed with his vision and he didn't want to take it off mid season and have to adjust again.

 

[dickey moe]

Butler's been really off tonight.

Thought he was wearing it just cause he got used to it and started doing well or something lol

 

[identikit]

Leads all scoring

Yeah but all the turnovers.

 

[dickey moe]

Cmon Tatum

 

[dickey moe]

Now Tatum with the turnovers. Maddening.

 

[ShamrockPride]

Cmon Tatum

Been tossing so many easily interceptable passes tonight. Careless.

12 steals smh

 

[mr. furley]

somebody has to stop Harlan. his constant over-yelling at every single freaking action is just too much.

 

[identikit]

C'mon Zombie Heat...

Finish this

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Looks like Miami will steal home court advantage or at least even things up but I expect this Series to be something like 2-2 after 4, Celtics will return the favor and Miami will need to win at least 1 more in Boston

 

[ShamrockPride]

I'm torn here.

It's classic.....but it's annoying.

Guess I'd rather just have 20 BANGS each night with Breen on ESPN.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Lot of points tonight, doesn't feel like either team was able to enforce their defense on the other

 

[Chris B.]

Was that Suga of BTS in that NBA ad?

 

[ShamrockPride]

Celtics will be fine. Just annoying when they repeatedly come out flat in big games.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

OMG, can't remember last time I saw you but you always make me snicker and smile, I'm sure we haven't seen eye to eye
It's good to see you

Enjoy, I hope life is treating you well

Disagree. The Celtics could be playing a little better, but the Heat are just playing good basketball and making shots.

Active hands, defense, big shots…..Jimmy Butler.

Bam had a huge night. We get this Bam every game we can win the series.

Stole game one with a fantastic second half. Completely outplayed Boston the moment the 3rd quarter started. Boston had one good quarter (2nd) Heat outplayed them 3 of the 4.

Onto game 2.

Go Heat!!!!

 

[identikit]

Someone bought the melodrama here tonight

 

[Ministry of Pain]

123-116
MIA

Steal Game 1
Butler 35, 7 assists
WooHoo

 

[NewlyRetired]

Butler's been really off tonight.

Yeah but all the turnovers.

He had only 3 turnovers all night which is outstanding considering how often the ball was in his hands.

 

[Major]

Imagine if Butler had a better supporting cast. What a player

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Someone bought the melodrama here tonight

Me likely, so you have the Celtics winning 4 of the next 5/6?
I think it was imperative Miami win Game 1
That plays well into your forecast I imagine.

Go Heat!
Go Jimmy B

He's already going into the Heat Ring of Honor
Would love to see him take the next step and achieve what others have done prior.
Nobody thought he would be in the ECF 3 of 4 years IMHO...

 

[ChiefD]

I just won this bet:

Miami win
Tatum over 26.5
Butler over 24.5

+750

That was the first NBA game I’ve watched this year

 

[ChiefD]

Follow me for more winnings.

 

[Capella]

Somebody on Twitter just posted that the stupid espn analytics that get posted here that had the Clippers as the league favorite had Boston as 97% to win this series??? Is that true?
