1:38 Jimmy misses the bucket and then draws a charge. I’m glad this is finally being shown. It’s not just the points he scores.

What in the… This Heat squad came out of nowhere and just started dominating the East in this playoff run.
First: lose play in game to Atlanta and lose their 7th seed position.
Then: almost lose to Chicago in second play in game to barely grab the 8 seed.
Playoffs start: Miami forgot they are an 8 seed.
1- Gentleman sweep over the team with the best record
2- Beat an up and coming Knick squad in 6
3- Up 2-0 over the defending Eastern Champs, and now the series shifts to Miami.
Could anyone have predicted this? 😅

Terrible defence at 49 seconds to the end, terrible management of the last minutes, Miami will go to the finals and lose 4-1 against Denver. Jokic, the Yugoslav player, is the most dominant in the NBA and will not let this go.

the Heat and the Nuggets are winning close games against teams that overall have more playoff experience – most of the players but also the franchises.
So it is crazy to see how mental collapses and unexpected failures doomed these teams and now they are down 0-2 and 0-3
The narrative is “Grant WIlliams pissed off Jimmy” and “Jimmy is a playoff GOD” while he missed last 2 big shots but Bam saved them with off.rebounds.

Boston should fire the coach and get rid of the whole team except for Tatum I’m beginning to think the NBA finals are rigged Boston are getting their ass beat in game 3
