The Heat are good. The East is good. They should give the West trouble. I agree with Donnie, it’s better for the East if the Heat are a strong team in the finals.

The Heat are at the apex of their perceived win curve, though. It’s unexpected bc they had such a shitty regular season, but they still have two stars at their peaks.

I’m honestly really scared the Heat will just win the finals and I hate how it seems even more possible after today. This is awful.

I don’t get this at all. Not only does Miami’s continued success in the post-season validate the relative success of the Knicks this year, but it also illustrates that teams can win a championship even if they are not on anyone’s perceived championship win-curve. There is no downside to the Heat winning the chip for Knick fans outside of a 30 year grudge over a dumb fax machine.

Honestly, I’m tempted to just run it back next year unless some opportunity presents itself. Barring injuries, we should get a little better because most of players are at an age where getting better is likely. Even a little better would be very good. I’d be happy with very good.

I don’t love Ingram. He helps the spacing but I don’t trust him him on D or more importantly with the vibes… he’d almost certainly give you more on the court than RJ next year if healthy.

I thought it was wild that people were dismissing Miami after one bad loss and anointing Denver as some sort of juggernaut, they are also a flawed team and Miami has shown time and time again in these playoffs that they’ll have these random games where scrubs will hit 50% of their 3s and they will win.

I’m honestly really scared the Heat will just win the finals and I hate how it seems even more possible after today. This is awful.

This result is both shocking and not shocking. It’s shocking because the Heat are the eighth seed playing a one seed on the road in a stadium that gives a big home advantage. Many people seem to expect the Heat to turn back into a pumpkin any day now. But it’s not shocking because the Heat made it out of the Eastern conference which was considered clearly the tougher conference of the two. So they should be good. And they are a hard working disciplined team that doesn’t make many mistakes. They should be hard to beat. And what did Malone just say to the press? They didn’t lose because of hot shooting, they lost because they were out worked and they made mistakes and Miami took advantage of every mistake. That could happen again.

I think in general if you shoot 48.6% from three in a game, you’re likely to win that particular game.

Of course, with the Heat’s shooters, that’s always possible. But not a given, based on their actual season.

I’m not even sure what I just saw… it was a 3 point game with 1 minute left in an NBA finals and there were no fouls and no timeouts. It took an elapsed real-time 1 minute. I didn’t know that was even I. The table all these years.

Jokic is an otherworldly player, but his histrionics and feigned outrage after every unsuccessful attempt is wearying.
