Butler has blown a few layups so far. Strange. But if the heat can keep things close enough going into the fourth I trust he will bring them home.

How did Bam Adebayo fall to the 13th pick. He's literally the Heat's only playable big and he does it all. Olynyk is a defensive liability and Haslem is a mascot at this point

Its only this season that he has looked like he wont be a bust. Cant blame anyone for passing on him

If Iguodala is going to keep making these threes the Celtics might as well pack it in

You don't know what you're talking about. The same Kidd that got to coach the Nets and Bucks?

Avery Johnson didn't get opportunities? Byron Scott? Monty Williams? Alvin Gentry? Abeg stop talking nonsense

I will not join you to endorse the nepotism you're advocating for. If you as a black man cannot call out an underperforming black coach then what moral right do you have to criticize same in a white coach

Don't bring black quarterbacks into the equation. Your beliefs count for zilch if they were not performing. Black quarterbacks are not a new phenomena, there's been a black QB MVP FFS, we just now have the best crop of black QBs in history and the cream always rises to the top. Same way it should be for coaches.

Not that you will come here and be defending a man who has not taken a team to the conference finals in 7 years. That is arrant nonsense

Why isn't he an head coach? Look at what he did in both Brooklyn and Milwaukee. The reigning 2 time MVP owes the majority of his success to Kidd running him at point. He even was going to threaten management about his sacking.

Avery Johnson won the coach of the year and had to settle with Alabama. All the other names u mentioned are solid coaches and it makes u wonder what others would do with the same opportunity.

U didn't criticize nothing champ. Criticism is saying "black coaches need to be more blah blah blah". No, u said they don't deserve jobs because black coaches have been failures and that is a big lie.

Here u go bringing your pro caucasian believes into NFL. Do u know that most black quarterbacks have to fight off getting their position changed at every level? Do u know that the mother of the current NFL MVP who is black had to call her son's school to remind them that she sent her son to them as a quarterback? Cam Newton is a former MVP and could only get a vet minimum. While Peyton Manning signed for millions coming off of neck surgery.

Naah he was pretty solid last season. He comes from a loaded college so I feel it's easier to sleep on most of their players because their numbers aren't so gaudy

Hayward went to the Danny green school of bricks.

Heat have stopped moving the ball. Herro thinks he's James Harden now and Smart and Brown are just picking his pocket easily

So far in the clutch, he looks better than James Harden.

Bam stepping up.

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:46am On Sep 28, 2020

The lack of rim protection for the Celtics is going to be the death of them. Adebayo is just cooking them.

As a ball handler is what I mean. He shouldn't have been bringing the ball up court

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 2:55am On Sep 28, 2020

Celtics are not getting good shots. They're playing hero ball and bricking everything. They're done.

Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 2:57am On Sep 28, 2020

Well, thats it folks! I don't see any come back from here. We did not do enough to deserve a place in the ECF. Congrats to the Heat...

Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 2:57am On Sep 28, 2020

Celtics got back the lead, got a cushion and mentally relaxed. Miami makes the expected run, and Celtics are caught pants down. Now they down 10 and confused. They got lazy and started dreaming of game 7 before game 6 was over.

Brad Stevens was outcoached and their key players shrank when called upon. They're clearly the more talented team but they're not ready yet.

Lol? What are they doing fouling? Now they want to fight? Go home guys, this one's over.

Man. I am not a celtics fan, but even I feel the shock and disappointment. Tatum and Jaylen look like they are about to fall out

Corona? With the number of Nigerians running things in MMA just makes you wonder how many more Adesanya's are roaming round the streets of Lagos.

Chrisland......They'll probably be a picture of the Taekwandoo team somewhere in my Parent's attic back in Naij. I bet loads of them. Most especially in the Public School system.

NGL, when it comes to the NBA, LeBron has definitely been doing something right whether you like him or not. Miami Heat better show up.

You've been talking positively about LeBron in the past few weeks or so. This is so unlike you. Are you sensing that the title is inevitable and so you're trying to win our hearts so that we don't troll you to death? grin

Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 3:25am On Sep 28, 2020

Glad we're playing the Heat tbh. The Celtics were a bad matchup for us. Although I'm not sure if they would have had an answer for AD/Dwight, even though I was expecting Kanter to play more against us.

It'd be interesting to see how the Heat tackle our bigs too. If Bam guards AD then who guards Dwight? Are they going to play Olynik more? Or is Iggy going to guard AD? Which means LeBron would have a field day because Crowder is basically barbeque chicken for him. Butler could try, but he's not stopping LeBron.

Funny question. What did he do? What was their record and what did his teams rank on offense?

You might as well tell us Kidd taught Giannis how to play basketball. No wonder they are averaging 15+ more wins since he left

BascoVanVeli:

So stop your narrative about these coaches not getting opportunities I have named several and most of them fluctuate between average to downright bad

You are a liar without scruples and conscience. Shame on you.

Because I am not supporting nepotism like you means I don't support black coaches. You must be doing crack!! Where were you when we were lamenting Dwayne Casey's firing with the Raptors? Name the successful black coaches that have been fired and their replacement did not come in to do a better job.

Were Doc Rivers white you would be advocating for his firing you bloody hypocrite! I criticize underperforming black coaches and if they have performed to the point where they deserve a sack I will point it out. It's hypocrites like you that never keep the same energy

Cam Newton is a former MVP and could only get a vet minimum. While Peyton Manning signed for millions coming off of neck surgery.

Now you're just being stupid and ignorant. A lot of black QBs have a history of being runners and not possessing sufficient arm strength to properly run an elite NFL offense. The more you run as a QB the more likely you get hurt, common sense

Even Lamar Jackson had to work on his passing to get to where he is today but you can see that in the playoffs when push comes to shove he still struggles with throwing the football

A former MVP 5 seasons ago. I agree he should have gotten a better deal but common sense should tell you that a mobile quarterback with foot injuries might not exactly be hotcake in the market.

Lmaoooo at your Peyton Manning comparison. You're so clueless. How many TDs did Peyton Manning go on to pass for that year when he was signed. You think Cam will ever match that?

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:44am On Sep 28, 2020

Celtics were the architect of their own demise. The GOAT dodged a bullet not giving Kemba the max. Even on a loaded team he managed to shrink and not do enough to help his team past the Heat. They were clearly the better team as in the latter games they always seemed to claw back no matter how many points the Heat led by.

Overall the Heat just played harder. Bam was a monster

I don't like their chances in the Finals. Not with Jae Crowder shooting like 6-40 in the series or something crazy like that, Jimmy Butler's shooting is also suspect and Bam is literally their only playable big. If he ever gets into foul trouble the Heat are bleeped.

For the Heat to stand any chance they need to make sure their shooters Dragic, Robinson and Herro are in their bag. That's the only shot at getting those towers out of the paint. Miracles can happen sha but I struggle to see this not ending in 5
