he is good enough to score when he needs to, but he doesn't command or need the ball to be effective.

they just gave him a big extension, the only way would be if say they land Giannis and we got him back for the very TPE he generated

Alc you been saying it with these floors in the bubble and not sure it's being addressed but everybody is slipping and sliding all over the place. Situation is not good as we boil down to the finals...

I think one thing that's very huge is Bam hitting stepback midrange jumpers!! His defense and hustle really gave the heat energy, you could even argue he outplayed Giannis this series.

I really miss Andre Igoudala. Any chance he will come back? It would be an instant mprovement for Warrior defense. The way Heat play is also very fluent. It remind me of the way Warrior and spurs play. My hope is the Rocket beating LA, and then beated by Heat. Really don't want LeBron get another Champ.

Everybody this season has been on the LA teams battle. But let’s be real. We might just see Houston and Miami. This heat team just impresses me that they will find a way to grit out a convincing win no matter what. I could see them playing Toronto in the ECF which would be a hell of a series. I want to see that over the LA vs LA. Two really gritty teams that have a dog for a leader. This could be the best nba playoffs we’ve seen this decade

That’s common with him.. usually it’s scab that keeps reopening and never gets a chance to heal from a floor burn. Most likely very superficial

Surprised you didn't mention Giannis's knee very obviously bleeding. None of the announcers said anything about it either. Didn't look like it could've come from the ankle injury, so I'm wondering how that happened.

I would think that any and all Giannis to the Warriors talk is just for jokes to troll people, or at least that is what I have been doing/ seeing from GSW fans. The cap situation makes it extremely difficult for us to make a trade. Unless Giannis explicitly says he wants to be a Warrior, he's not coming here. That said, the person who posted on Social Media posting homes and @ing Giannis needs to drug tested. People know how to ruin the joke by going to far.

I’ve always been a Jimmy fan. He’s a hooper and ultimate competitor. Obviously he’s not gonna mesh with 2 disfunctional franchises in Minnesota and Philly. Watching his media coverage he’s all about praising his teammates organization and system. I also like how he’s got some ghetto dog in him.

Holy shit Alch, the Raiders/A's dig at Iggy's hair had me dying! I had to pause the breakdown right after hearing it just to gather myself and make this comment!

I still think Milwaukee has a chance if giannis ankles are good. Miami for some reason look like they win games by accident😂

This Heat team is scary they're pretty much what I expected the Celtics to be. Plenty of wings with great coaching and great ball movement, it's beautiful to see. I still believe that Brad Stevens is one of if not the best at drawing up plays, but the grit and determination that the Heat are playing with is unmatched. I mean I'm not high on Duncan Robinson, believing that he is only shooting the way he is because for some reason I always see him standing wide open on the 3 point line. But this was the game that opened my eyes a bit and noticed that the Heat have somehow thrived on finding the open man whenever one of them realizes that they're being doubled. They were my dark horse for the season but I didn't expect them to play this well

Hmm didn’t think about how it would reflect on the Warriors. I’ll I know is the LeBron slander will reach new peaks.

Well it never black and white tho.. I’m sure he is toxic to some locker rooms.

I’ve been a Butler fan ever since his “you need me!” moment in Minnesota. I don’t give any credit to the “he’s toxic in the locker room” talk. That’s just media hype machine BS to feed the haters. I hope the Heat win it all this year just to give everyone the middle finger

If the rockets beat the Lakers it could drastically change the narrative and improve the warriors' legacy.

That "Where ever he lands up" line got me Alch! Great breakdown as always. Gotta be honest, I am so hyped for the Heat to put down the Bucks. I have been rooting for the Heat as a substitute for the Warriors this season.

Yeah I don't want to overreact! But I don't see answers for LA, there is no "if they do this or they do that" that at I see

So fun to see Andre making the best use of his later career years. I do love the way Miami plays. This sure isn't a good advertisement for Giannis with the Warriors. The teams with aggressive, defending wings seem to be doing a lot more than the teams with size. Saying this after HOU-LA Game 1 where Anthony Davis was defended very well by PJ Tucker.

I really like the Heat. Love your breakdown. I've never really been a JB fan, but I'm coming around. I feel that every player has their optimal coach/system and JB is a match made in heaven, IMO, at Miami.

I've been saying this for years and it's coming true: If it wasn't for the superteam warriors, the Rockets would have won multiple chips. Right now the road to the chip goes through Houston.
