Coach Spo is an all-time coach.

Re: Nba

Out of all the teams in the playoffs I thought the Heat were the weakest. They're on the verge of making the finals from the 8th seed.

Missing their starting SG and their 6th man. They tried to latch on to an aging Lowry and it failed. They have put in "scrubs" as filler and they are tearing everyone apart. Vincent, Martin, Struss, Robinson. Zellar? That looks awful on paper and it's working. Full credit to this team and especially the coaching staff for making it gel.

Boston have thrown in the towel. Pathetic.

Re: Nba

This is wild.

The Heat look ordinary on paper. They are embarrassing the Celtics. Out coached, out played, out worked.

Denver v Heat isn't a sexy promoter sell, but it could be compelling viewing if the latter can continue this mastery of team ethos. The fact that non-drafted players are getting up as many shots as Butler is nuts....and it's working!

I hate the Lakers and LeBron even more. I wouldn't tune in much. Denver Vs Miami I'm glued and I'm 100% behind the Nuggets.

I like watching both Heat and Nuggets play, so I'm keen on what's coming.

I'd give anything to not have to watch LeWavesHisArmsAroundAnytimeAnyoneIsWithinSixFeetOfHim again. Just an insufferable whinger.

LeGone James.

Haha ... look, I appreciate the guy, but it's not hard to see why he isn't liked by many.

Re: Nba

If anyone is going to come back from 3-0 it's going be the celtics. How often is a number 1 seed down 0-3 to the 8th seed and has 2 more home games left?

I don't think they will do it, but it's about as good a chance as you'll get.

So glad he is gone as well as his flopping clone in Davis.

What's better is we don't have to hear about Lakers constantly. God I hate the big market bias in the nba.

His legacy is undeniable and he's such a clean skin, decent family man that over all he's impossible not to respect.

But he's SUCH a whinger that I derive no joy from watching anything he does. The way he stomps around waving his arms whenever he doesn't get the call he wants is just embarrassing.

He's an example of a player that's too big for the game - no coach or official has ever dreamt of pulling him in line so he just keeps carrying on.

It feels like they're a good shot to win the series now .... which is ridiculous to say, and there's every chance they get rolled at home given their record, but today's win puts the pressure solely on Miami to actually close it out.

It's weird that I agree with this. And given that it's never happened before it's unlikely. But this might be the perfect storm where it's conceivably possible.

I can't see either team getting past Denver anyway. Jokic is on another planet.

I think it'll go to 6, a scare and a bit of pressure at home but the Heat to take care of business on their home floor. If it goes to 7 though, wow!

They really don't give Jokic enough credit. The narrative is always about KD/Booker, or LeBron/AD/Lakers, the sweep, anything other than the fact Jokic is actually the best player in the NBA and unstoppable.

I think it would pain them too much to advertise that a fat, slow white seven footer that can barely dunk has worked out the cheat codes.
