A quick word on other games.....

[Gray Mule]

I wanted the Heat to destroy the Celtics.  Mission accomplished!

Then, in the finals, I want Denver to win.  Why?  Because they haven't ever.  To me, it's always nice to see a new team in the winning column.  

Will it be necessary for the Hawks to rebuild to get there?  Seems that we are always doing that.

Oh no doubt this is one of your teams Soth, soak it in. I’ve actually never been happy because it hasn’t been the Hawks yet. I don’t wanna say congrats yet but y’all playing beautiful unselfish ball. Get that chip Soth!

I love how so many teams from the east got kind of wrecked this post season.  Miami makes it to the Finals and they are really not that good. 

Jimmy is a true alpha, unlike a lot of the other "stars" of the east, but he is more limited offensively because he's not much of a shooter.  Tatum has this look like he's scared to be out there during crunch time.  He's fine if they have a comfortable lead and his shot is going, but the way he watches Kobe for inspo it's like he's trying to pull on someone's legacy to hope it rubs off on him.  It's like he doesn't actually believe in himself.

I'd say your point about everybody in the East getting wrecked directly impacts the perception of Jimi Butler.  When MIL was healthy and whole, they swept the heat and it wasn't close.

Same goes with your point about Tatum.  I've never seen a guy so talented but seemingly so insecure.  And, in listening to a lot of interviews of Damon Stoudamire, seems like his leaving mightve hurt Mazzulla more than they realize.

So again, if Loston was right, no way they fall to Miami and this myth of Butler's status isn't perpetuated.

Yeah I'm biased, but I think all I'm saying is pretty fair.

I'm not necessarily cheering for the Nuggets.  But seeing the Heat get dismantled like this, is satisfying.

That was such a metaphor for the whole heet experience.  Fans all bouncin' around in white jeans.  Laughing.  Celebrating.  Completely unaware their team's gasping for air, chokin' in their own blood, clinging to life.

"Yeah, play s'more Gloria Estefan!"

Brate, a Jokic fan and a great clapper. Love the Bogster!
