Wilbon shakes his head yes.
Absolute expert analysis
I let out an audible “Oh no.” When I heard that. ESPN coverage is ass.
Exactly, Denver is far up there compared to other teams, I would be surprised if Boston takes more than two games from Denver in the finals.

Need Herro to be consistent. This is the stage.

There need to be some adjustments. Miami did not came in strong against the Celtics. Somebody needs to tell JJJ try not to stop dribbling because once he do, the defense will try to trap him.
I don’t really like Tyler herro as a point guard. There seems not much happening if he plays that role. I think Miami needs to change that up. Maybe have jovic as a point forward or JJJ or Delos wright preferably jovic to have porz put in more works.
I don’t think it’s a bad idea to have Caleb Martin coming off the bench.
I think it’s would be beneficial if Miami try to get porz off the floor. Maybe by getting him in foul trouble early because he seems to restricted Miami offense’s capacity.

There really isn’t. It’s effing terrible.
The Jeff Van Gundy, Mark Jackson, and Mike Breen trio was at least entertaining. The best thing that happened this season is Doc Rivers getting hired by the Bucks so we didn’t have to hear his voice on ESPN.

Quite frankly, the playoff experience that the young guys are getting is more valuable than whatever the Celtics will get from beating us. So if you look at it like that, we’re the real winners.

I mentioned earlier, the other announcer said Miami was on a mini-run and Burke giggled at that.

I was listening to Jax. It was synched up well with the broadcast. Although he was crying a lot about missed fouls for the Heat which I didn’t see.

This went about as I expected.
Hopefully we can pivot and adjust for game 2.

we saw some stuff for sure...I have mentally been on the Bam-Jovic-JJJ timeline for half the season...those parts work together, they just need to bring in a new big gun alpha and put new parts around them.
Man I hope JJJ just goes max effort this offseason dude could be phenomenal... get that conditioning up, and get that 3 point shot dialed in.
I am not really anti-Jimmy....I love Jimmy....but I really think JJJ while being a worse version of Jimmy right now, already shows how he could end up a better version in the end...mostly because he is quicker to set up in the post and quicker to bail out if it is not there.

Do I have to put 85 at the end of my name to agree with you guys here?
but yes I totally agree. We’re not going anywhere and the youngings experience is all that matters here.

This is the type of thinking that results in disappointment. I'm a big fan of JJJ but expecting the possibility of 'a better version' of Jimmy is like hoping Herro can become Steve Nash. Unless you're only talking about the offensive side of the ball, but even then, that's a big ask.

JJJ is never going to be as good as Jimmy, go ahead and get that out of your head so you’re not disappointed in his development. There’s a whole side of the court Jaime will never be able to touch Jimmy levels on. That being said, he can definitely be a high level role player and MAYBE a fringe all star guy one day

without jimmy Bam needs to take those 3s porz is giving him. dropping back like timelord and Horford did in the past is cutting off the paint for the mid range shot
