Kelly O seems good for the job of annoying the lakers bigs, thought they should have tried playing him last two games

seems like bam is gonna be back. still no real evidence the heat have enough juice to win this series esp with dragic having a bad injury but could be interesting if bam comes back and the role player shooting evens out a bit. could see the heat winning another game if herro and robinson go off in a game where kuzma and morris can’t hit shots

feels like jae crowder hasn’t made a shot in 2 weeks
I put $15 on the heat in 6 at +900 before the series. I’d take the $150 any day.

According to Elias Sports, Butler scored or assisted on 73 points Sunday and that’s tied for the second-most in a Finals game in NBA history behind only Walt Frazier’s 74 points.

i have at times been critical of jimmy as a player but he's an amazing character and i love him for keeping it real

agree it’s “good for the league” that he’s in a place where his personality is relevant. he’s hysterical
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 6 October 2020 04:05 (three years ago) link
that's a good way to put it ... where his personality is relevant. Silver should make a law that Jimmy can't leave Miami.
he was incredible last night. telling LeBron "you in trouble" after Bron said it to him is classic.

outside of a few threes, nunn’s minutes have been pretty brutal tonight. in game 3 jimmy’s transcendence covered for dragic’s absence but tonight it’s pretty glaring. spo needs to go with herro and robinson for basically the rest of the game

heat just couldn’t score in the half court tonight w/o jimmy being superman. basically were running every possession at the end thru herro and robinson coming off screens
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 7 October 2020 03:37 (three years ago) link
Jimmy was way too passive tonight. Tons of over passing by the whole team. Otm dragic would’ve helped so much.

Kcp has been really good

putting AD on jimmy was a nice move by vogel, i think it had jimmy psyched out. he can get to the rim/line consistently vs everyone else on the lakers (including lebron) but AD forces him to shoot which he doesn't really want to do. in game 3 they were putting davis on olynyk/leonard and the heat were just murdering them. but still jimmy wasn't really looking for his shot even into the fourth which was weird... he could've picked spots in the midrange and pulled up confidently if he wanted to but he just... didn't. prob should've got bam more involved in the offense if AD was on jimmy but it's a lot to fold into the gameplan on the fly. dragic was the heat's offensive closer all year, even into the bucks series, and it was really felt in this one
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 7 October 2020 05:10 (three years ago) link
jimmy hitting another marker of star status tho in that watching it live it felt like he was weirdly passive and absent all night in a very crucial game and then you look at the stat line and he put up 22-10-9 w/ 3 steals and a block on 8-17 shooting. a truly vintage lebron-esque performance in its own way
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 7 October 2020 05:13 (three years ago) link
yah but he started like 5-5 so he was pretty bad from that point on. it was aesthetics tho, like he was happy to pass to nunn and watch him dribble around a shoot a contested shot on too many occasions in the 2nd half. i love jimmy but he needed to be the player he was in game 3 for them to win. sometimes you just gotta hoist.. or at least shoot when your open which he was a lot tonight.

aside from dragic being out two other things hurting the heat this series are crowded turning into a pumpkin on offense and bam playing like C-grade games. everyone else has mostly played at expectation i think
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 10 October 2020 02:02 (three years ago) link
crowder*
have to think bam is being impacted by the mysterious neck/shoulder injury
― call all destroyer, Saturday, 10 October 2020 02:10 (three years ago) link
yeah... and also facing prob the best big in the NBA. but he hasn’t really been a focal point of the offense even as a distributor like he normally is and tonight is missing stuff at the rim, he just looks off
