Typo or nah? Saw you were from PR so thought maybe you spelled it differently. Googled it and was surprised by its meaning. Not sure the entire Miami is that tight of a squad but more power to them can't argue with the results.

Oh, I totally wouldn't reinsert him into the starting lineup, especially considering he can be such a defensive liability.

But imagine having that 22/5/5 coming off the bench. Their flexibility is crazy at this point.

Long live the king…. And go heat

On the flipside, think about how gut-wrenching it'd be if the Heatles lost their 2nd Finals in 3 years. Especially after their terrorizing run through the east this postseason.

Almost feels like a last chance CP3 moment for Himmy.

Joker boulder holders have it made. Almost. Facing undrafted heat players for the win but even worse when Murray, who is leading the team, wins finals mvp. But joke gets a title.

The LeFossil laws of transitivity on BO are fascinating. Including who does/doesn't get a pass.

I won't stack onto that trash talk, because there are a few (1 or 2?) level headed Denverites on here that don't constantly deflect to Bron bashing, but the neutral Anti-Brononites with zero allegiance are downright insufferable.

ninjacookies · 05-21-2023, 11:14 PM

JB took 3 steps forward securing all-nba honors, then 5 steps back with his ECF performance. Wonder if that supermax'll still be on the table.

daeve · 05-21-2023, 11:23 PM

I'd be shocked if Brown is on this team in October. Brad ain't a dummy, I don't think he'll be fooled again. Refer to my 3-team offer in the offseason thread. They need a playoff dog who can score. Dame is available, they need the 3rd team to enter the ring probably, but I can see it happening... Unless Morey gets there first. And then there's always Presti the wildcard.

Lefossil? He’s supposed to be carrying the team and doing everything. He’s not old.

pete2345 · 05-22-2023, 12:01 AM

Bron bois acting like they wouldn't continue to make this and five other garbage threads celebrating him if he was up 3-0 is funny. Sorry your king will fail his sheeples yet again.

Brow's team when they win the O'Brien.

Fossil's team when they lose.

Something like that.

How sad a person so you have to be to still refer to the 2-time MVP as "Joke".

I'm rooting for Denver so that he wins something this year, after having his deserved MVP BS'd away from him.
I'm rooting for Miami because Boston have been overrated all season despite their inconsistent 'stars'. Even though during the season I hated the Heat.

A Miami-Denver Finals would be amazing. Two teams that people are still writing off despite clearly being locked in these playoffs. And hopefully Jokic wins the chip and FMVP.

Btw - the only Jokic card I own was a replacement for something else entirely so you can't accuse me of being an 'investor' as you all seem to when anybody supports someone...

I didn't know Kendrick Perkins or Mark Jackson were on Blowout. Jokic is again the best player in the NBA. Politics and other things stopped it this year.

2010GBPackers · 05-22-2023, 06:58 AM

Damn, didn't know Hauwei's 5G had full bars in Philly last night.

threepointplay · 05-22-2023, 07:08 AM

I have no dog in these two races and so quite am relaxed about a Nuggets versus Heat Final.

But it would be nice if the Lakers & Celtics could try and stretch their respective series out a little bit. At this rate, we are going to be done by tomorrow night, followed by a nine-day wait before the Finals start!

I know, but that's an ABC/ESPN problem. We don't care if Joe Average watches a game or not.

NeedChapmans · 05-22-2023, 07:35 AM

Pretty incredible that the Lakers have been down 3-0 in a series eight times, and have never won game 4. #9 chance tonight.

Very odd stat.

bloodwings19 · 05-22-2023, 08:07 AM

Laker should win Game 4, Cleveland This Is For You guy don't want to get booed off the floor, the NBA is not going to allow it. They lose Game 4 only if the zebras don't cooperate and the Nuggets get bored. Lebron don't care about winning championship, his ultimate goal is to play with Bronny. He will sign whichever team draft, or be able to sign King Jr in a year, or two. Lebron plays next year for yellow and gold, then will be free... and this is the Lebron I like. Family!!!

Bronny will wear #23
Lebron will wear #1

[Aldridge] Pat Riley is one win away from his 19th appearance in an NBA Finals as a player, coach or executive. Nineteen! That will mean Riley has either played in, coached in or been his team's top decision maker in 24.7 percent of ALL THE FINALS in NBA history!

Bosoxfan5990 · 05-22-2023, 08:38 AM

No team has ever come back from down 3-0 in the NBA...the Celtics won't be the team to buck that trend. Game 4 is going to be another blowout in favor of the Heat.

Reminds me of Orlando's run in 2009 with Skip to my lew starting for an injured jameer nelson. Stan van brought Jameer back for the finals and it messed up the chemistry quite a bit, even though Meer was the much better player.

Theyre still not a “brand” name. How many players or teams have actual “brand” value? Not many.
