The Official NBA Season Thread: SFA Prevails

agreed 100% on the talent piece

just like the 7th seed lakers fairytale ended most likely the 8th seed heat fairytale will end as well

this would be a lot different than how the laker fairy tale ended though having been up 3-0. and we've struggled thru each of the prior two series as well despite having a talent advantage. it was jokes but the playing our food thing is so real and at some point it's gonna burn us (and it might have now after being down 3-0).

we have yet to play 3 solid games in a row this post season, let alone 4. but we'll see...hopefully we can keep it rolling and pull some **** outta our ***. again.

He could be playing overseas.

I hate it when dudes just quit.

I dont think he quit. He keeps getting injured still unfortunately

 

[Upptempo]

I doubt the Celtics can win 4 straight but the Heat beat the Bucks 3 in a row to end round 1 which nobody expected and I highly doubt many people predicted Nuggets beating the Lakers 4-0 so who knows

This was their last win guaranteed

Think I saw a post referring to him as “James” tonight, so -

That was me. As you’ve known me for a while I like to use people’s full names. James “Jimmy” Butler. James “Jim” Harden. Klayton Thompson, Edrice Femi "Bam" Adebayo

Apologies if that’s the case but are we sure about this?

It’s been a while now.

Yeah after the league injuries his last stint on the court was 2022 in the G League where he got hurt again and barely played

I just hope he doesn’t quit if he doesn’t make an NBA team. Wish him the best.

 

[jpzx]

out of all 131 matchups it’s never been a 2 seed against a 8th.

Up 3-0 with Jimmy Butler home and away I’ll take my chances

 

[jpzx]

I do not picture him losing 4 games straight.

lakers were a fairytale they spanked a fully healthy warriors team

This guy has bad takes after bad takes man.

Sportscenter has failed you

Tatum was 6th in scoring this season and Jokic was 18th

Tatum has 4 ECF appearances in 5 seasons
Jokic has 2 in 7 seasons

Tatum is working on his second finals appearance and Jokic is just getting his first
2022-2023 regular season stats

If only you were this good with debating the Ja thing.

 

[Blue Mamba]

So now that the Celtics didn’t get swept, do you still make “major changes” if they lose the series?

 

[Mister Meaner]

Kinda want Boston in 7 now cuz I know they gonna get slugged by the Nuggets if they see that Joker Magic Johnson and Jamal Murray.

40 piece for Jamal somewhere & the causal usual triple double for the best player in the game. I was not quite aware just how OP mans is.

 

[Platinum State]

Its over for Jimmy. Boston Denver finals gonna be better anyway. I aint trynna watch Miami

 

[shotsrangout]

[shotsrangout]

Boston and denver is the more entertaining matchup

#dontletthemgetthree

[Air273]

^^yea I didnt like jimmy doing that....

would be crazy if boston pulls this off....they do have talent.....we could have a epic game 6....

these playoffs I watched more hours of jokic then every previous year combined....man this dude is much better than I thought he was.....glad embid won mvp - but this jokic dude just might be the best player in the NBA.....

before this round I was telling friends if could take any player and put them on the bulls its no longer giannis, its tatum......they said I was crazy jokic is the guy.....and you know what, they just might be right.....nuggs are so much fun to watch.....

or i'm just pumped they eliminated the lakers in 4 haha

 

[g-time]

But it was ok for Horford to do that? lol

 

[dasitmane]

Heat need Vincent back asap because their guard depth was already thin even before he got hurt.
