This game tighter than a nun's vajayjay. Bloody hell

2 full minutes nobody can even score a bucket

I think what's most baffling about this Heat team. If you saw them in the regular season you would never expect they would be able to hang offensively with the Bucks or Celtics and then it's not like they have any guys on All Defense but they just play on a string.

Killer turnover by Tatum. It's a wrap

Playoff Jimmy mehnn. All skill all will. When you remember guys like Harden would be ranked higher than him in basketball pantheon it just doesn't seem right

Too many mental lapses led to costly TOs. You can’t give this Heat team any hope by keeping the scores close because they are better closers. Get game 2 and take it from there..

Mere looking at the two rosters Boston has no business not winning in 5 but now we're looking at a potential dogfight

Celtics better be careful. When you face underdogs with no track record of choking your aim should be to crush and annihilate them. At halftime I thought ok this is potential blowout not even 3 minutes into the 3rd quarter tied game. That's when I knew these guys are not serious

As much as he does in the playoffs, the regular season still counts. If we start making it all about the playoffs, then we should expect players to coast during the regular and just gear up for the playoffs

But it's not that Jimmy coasts. He's still an All NBA candidate. I think he made it this year.

But I'm sorry maybe because regular season basketball and playoff basketball is like Maths vs Further Maths. It's almost like they are playing a different sport.

One or two more postseason runs like this and you're telling me I should accept James Harden is better? Cos of regular season? When he can't perform vs the best of the best

I am looking forward to today's game more than Lakers/Nuggets. At this point, this is definitely a rivalry. If you guys can wipe that foolish grin from Butler's face, I would be very happy

They have started again. 40-year-old Lebron by himself beat GSW. Is there anything impossible for Le-Old fans? Such shameless people. cheesy grin. The last time i checked GSW wasn't in that caption. Let me remind you again, the caption suggests that, whether Lebron is 45 years old doesn't matter, if he loses to Jokic and the Nuggets. it goes on the record forever.

Judgement no be one way. Once you require us to recognize your feats late in your career, we are allowed to push enter express if you fail.

Poor wrinkly Le-Old fans. grin

Who is saying Lebron beat GSW, anybody who bothered to watch the series can tell that if there's a MVP for the series the first name would be AD, yes Lebron was the best player in the close out game but overall AD has been, all playoffs the best player on the Lakers.
Unless they are putting them in lockstep like Shaq & Kobe, just like then if it boils down to one, the big man takes the cake

James Harden reportedly wants a 4yr max contract.

Nothing of the sort IMHO, he even improved a bit. He has gotten rid of that bad habit of taking it to the rim and playing for the foul instead of trying to finish through contact. His remaining issue is that he can disappear for long stretches, in the first game against the Heatles, for as well as he was playing during the first half, he then came out and shot the ball only 5 times all 2nd half.
Whenever I watch the Celtics, I just wish you can swap the mentality of Smart always wanting the ball with Tatum mentality of being okay with not getting the ball. The Celtics would be more better if the ball always finds Tatum in crunch time instead of somehow always going to Smart

To be more specific, I feel like he is more tentative this year. When he has the ball, it takes him a second longer to decide to put his head down and attack. And when he does give up the ball, he does it too early before the defenders collapse on him. Which means his team mates shots are not as easy

I felt like last year, he had figured out how to get his and still keep the team hot as well. I dont see that this year. Maybe its coaching, but thats what my eyes see

This Hachimura guy mehnn. Pelinka really pulled off a heist for this guy. Don't know what the other GMs were looking at
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 2:22am On May 19, 2023
Guys like Hachimura, Reaves is why I curse anyone calling this team underdog. You're being disrespectful to those guys.

This Lakers team can go on those quick 7-0 runs if you slack a minute.

Donkey like Aaron Gordon is not helping matters either
