First off, fuck anyone taking shots at the Heat, especially a Celtic fan, gee I'm sorry the 8th seeded 4/1 dog lost a series to the 1 seed, the Heat did something that will likely never happen again, a run for the ages that came up a little short, credit to the Nuggets, they have the best player in the world, and he played like it, and like I posted the other day, Vincent, Strus, and Martin all played great in the Eastern Conference playoffs, unfortunately none of them shot the ball well against Denver, Bam was terrific, easily their best player in the series, going head to head against Jokic, and giving up all that size, is as tough a matchup as you can give a player, but Bam responded and played well, as for Jimmy, I won't use injury as any excuse, maybe he wore down as the playoffs went on, for whatever reason he wasn't the same player in this series as he had been throughout the postseason, credit Denver's defense, Jimmy is a great finisher at the rim, gets fouled a lot and shoots a lot of free throws, but against the size and length of Denver he couldn't finish in close or draw fouls, so many times he got to the basket but missed the short shot, maybe if there goes my Herro had been healthy and able to play it might have made a difference, but I don't think he would have been enough to beat a clearly better Nuggets team, so a disappointing ending to a fantastic and fun season. One thing I can assure you is the Heat will be back, they have one of the best run franchises in the league, the best coach in the league, and in the last five years they have more playoff wins than the Celtics, Bucks, Sixers, Suns, Lakers, and Warriors. I think in the offseason Pat Riley will try to land a star, recently Damion Lillard was asked if there's a team he might want to be traded to, his first response was the Heat, a big three of Jimmy, Dame, and Bam looks pretty good to me. Anyway, it was a fun ride Dell, and glad you're back
