The Cs Dispatched The MVP & Now Face Super Saiyan Jimmy! | Official HEAT (#8) vs. Celtics (#2) Eastern Conference Finals Thread

The fact that Brogdon made it all the way to the ECF before having a serious injury is amazing in itself

So he's out for the rest of the series?

There are Wizards fans who wanted to trade the 10th pick for him

I said no cause he’s making $20Ms plus and only plays 50 games. All we had to do was not take Johnny

Just because someone jumps off a bridge, you don’t doit. Horford is known for doing that timeout call throughout the season.



The Heat still up 3-2 with a game at home, they better win that and close it out or Jimmy gonna look like a clown.

So basically Horford has been mocking opponents with the timeout gesture all season long, but gets mad when someone else does it? Cool. Heat in 6.

But but but timelord (Robert williams)and Al Horford will handle and shutdown Bam Adebayo

Adebayo BEEN put in Alcatraz by a guy older his head coach. “WELCOME TO HELL”

Jimmy can't shoot 3s so he can't bring you back individually down 18 points.

Miami better win game 6

This, and like @god shamgod said Jimmy is a bit of a foul baiter, that's part of his game. It's a different game than being a natural attacking wing that naturally pressures the rim and put the opp in foul trouble...

He's not a great jump shooter nor an elite rim pressure nor an elite playmaker (think of the prime versions of Jokic or LeBron or Magic or Paul, etc). He doesn't have the transcendent ability to DOMINATE a basketball game without scoring, thru just his court vision and ball control and passing. His basketball IQ is how he dominates, he understands positioning and spots and he has his own tempo, you can't speed him up. But when those cheap foul baiting attempts aren't working his offense isn't upper crest elite enough...

Nobody is pulling Jokic down 18 going into a 4th....

Anything above 30 minutes a game and his body starts breaking down. He’s better reserved as a 6th man long term IMO.

All Defense G. Derrick White and Grant Williams stopped going for the fakes and he defers when Tatum it’s on him. Let any other superstar have 3 straight subpar games in the playoffs and the coli will be up in arms calling them fraud.

That's all facts. And I'm a Jimmy fan. But it is what it is, aint no one pulling even Old LeBron like Jimmy last night, let alone any version of Young LeBron...

Jimmy isn't elite at any one skill, he's B-level good at most things. But not having that jump shot, not being an elite playmaker, not being able to pressure the rim at an elite level, that shyt comes back to haunt him when you ain't getting the calls----->because if you could naturally impose your will it nullifies not having an elite j!

Not sure but if they pulled him for Pritchard when they’re fighting for their lives then I’d have to think it’s serious

 

[King Eros]

Game 6 it is, don't be on the wrong side of history

One team is guaranteed to be.

 

[RubioTheCruel]

It would be very Celtic like to come all the way back from 3-0 down to force a game 7 just to have an absolute stinker at home and lose, not gonna lie
