he is risen (jumping)

i'm not sure if god could stop murray at this point but playing normal pick and roll defense with jordan clarkson on the ball doesn't seem like an amazing idea

one cool thing about the bubble is we get to see how good guys can shoot without 20 thousand people yelling at them

it's a great point, score another one for shooting in a gym

game 7 baby

i have heard that the 7th game of the series is the last one, is the prophecy true?

only one way to find out

there are only so many truly real times where you feel like anytime a guy shoots it's going in. this was one of those times.

Players with multiple 50-point games in a playoff series:

- Michael Jordan
- Allen Iverson
- Donovan Mitchell (this series)

Mitchell and Murray are on a Linsanity thing right now, where nothing makes sense

Good lord Murray's last 3 games

The closest comparison is probably that one bird-Dominique series

Amazing stuff

looks like mitchell needs 53 points to take the record for most points in a playoff series from elgin baylor

bench was so good for the nuggs last night too

harris back was good

Murray had the fewest field goal attempts in a 50 point game since 1953

Nuggets had an 88 dfrtg with harris out there and 113 with him off

wild series good stuff

I think Malone has to just bench Millsap, he can’t move his feet

Undying loyalty is Malone’s schtick but it’s game 7

The Marcus Morris shit is unacceptable, players are gonna get hurt if they don’t do something to wake him up

yeah thats psycho behavior

dude already has a battery & an aggravated assault charge on his record. agree w whoever said he should be suspended.

cute

Freddy being reunited with his family is that heartwarming content we need 😊

he's never gonna miss another shot

That’s gotta be the sloppiest 5 minute stretch I’ve ever seen from the Bucks this year

dragic playing himself into some nice late career money

someone should let the bucks know that this is a real series and that they need to try most of the time

nice to have middleton back tho

i think the bucks should not try just my opinion

as this is but a small and tight-knit message board i trust you have no ulterior motives

its just the right thing

Might wanna defend Butler

bucks still might win bcuz they're very good but this game has been played on the heat's terms... they're getting to the line and the rim almost at will

giannis should look to move the ball faster when theres three guys walling him off on the break he end up like dribbling into the corner and lets the defense set too often

jiiiiimmy

jimmy out there fuckin shit up

Cool that the Bucks wasted Middleton’s one good game of the series

jimmy bucketler

jimmy is really "one of those guys"

they just review every play middleton wants them to

All that for G to immediately fucking turn it over again

the problem with these out of bounds reviews is in real time its called out off of the guy who knocks it out of bounds, then on the review theyre looking at if the balls still touching the other guys hand milliseconds later, which is silly

the bucks have a better top 2 but i do think a problem for them in this series is that jimmy and dragic are not gonna be scared at the end of games. all the pressure being on the bucks to begin with combined with the heat having 2 vets who are comfortable w/ the ball in their hands in crunch time could be a combustible combo. jimmy was out of his mind in the fourth there but giannis and middleton did not answer the bell at the end.

yeah giannis in the crunch is a big question mark cause of his style of play and then the whole team is set up to revolve around him so what happens

the bucks need bledsoe to come back and be somewhat effective. the heat have incredible defensive depth on the wing but are vulnerable to guards who can score off the dribble as brogdon showed in the last series. he was killing herro in particular but the bucks don't have any way to really attack him or dragic at the end of games. i think the heat will be ok with giannis and middleton trying to go against their army of wing defenders in the halfcourt. george hill can make open threes but connaughton, dante d, wes matthews aren't scaring the heat. it's a problem for the bucks bcuz herro lets the heat have a third ball handler on the court (four if you count bam) in crunch time whereas the bucks are basically going to be ride or die w/ their big 2

i hope they have a better plan than hoping for bledsoe lol
