Good for Uncle Jeff.

Also, Caleb Martin is a decent player. I'd like a guy like him on the Cs. Unfortunately he is on the loser of the finals.

Boston fucking around the first three games against Miami and their role players playing out of their gourds robbed us of a great Finals. Not sure Boston beats Denver but it’s not the heaping pile of shit flop fest that is the Miami Heat. Still pissed.
Boston's "they can't hit wide open threes forever" defense looks even more an abomination after watching Denver's pressure give Miami fits in this series. Celtics were posers.

A very small, sick part of me wishes Miami completed the comeback so the NBA could take the rightful amount of shit for they deserve for the absolute joke that is their replay and challenge system. Of course it’s only a very small part because I am happy not to watch another second of this POS Miami team.

They should have nice little league runner up trophies to give the Heat here

Ugh - forgot they were owned by Kroenke.

Say what you want about the NFL rulebook but when this kind of play happens on the biggest stage they at least spend the offseason considering a change. Sure, they often fuck it up worse, but they still look at it.

It really fucking beats me how getting kicked by a guy when you are objectively not in his immediate space, haven't touched him at all through your own momentum, and don't impact his landing zone at all (if you watch the play again Jimmy actually kicks his fit out again as he lands to make sure he makes contact with the other defender too) can be interpreted, ON REPLAY, as a legitimate foul. I can live with the foul calls guys get as the aggressor driving to the rim and getting defenders off-balance but it's this shit that can make the game so unwatchable at times.

I really think as mentioned earlier, our shitty defense mattered a lot. You can't leave even undrafted players wide open that often.

Defensive scheme needs an overhaul. Figure it out, Cassell & Lee.

The heat looking at some challenges on the cap too. Right? Strus and Vincent both look to be free agents, and with 4 ~30mm players it's likely tough to sign them. Plus David r on books for 18mm more. Maybe this is it for heat culture?
