Had the Heat in 6. Glad they closed that out quick though. Was not tryna see the AARP squad make this a struggle series.
Yeah, that's why I laugh anytime someone is like "So and so is playing like shyt so I know XXX team ain't gonna win shyt!"
Man, these coaches and players are strategic. These are the BEST PLAYERS IN THE WORLD. When you see players consistently playing like shyt, it's not because they truly ain't shyt. These players are being strategic and resting and conserving energy for something bigger! That's been one of the Heat's go to strategy for the past couple of years and why they are so well rested coming into the last stretch. Either giving vibes of locker room drama to make everyone doubt them, or having a player/players be lackluster.
I feel like the Pacers are doing/did that with Hibbert. You can't directly sit the player out cause that will be sus for a number of reasons. If a star player is being low key or playing like shyt in the playoffs, they are conserving energy.
Oh yeah,
