They might sweep Boston, which would be pretty nuts lol Yeah they keep proving me wrong every step of the way and costed me a good amount of $$$ along the way . I thought for sure the Bucks would've came back after Giannis got back on the court but they finished them up pretty quick and got out of the first round. Imo them and NY was close talent wise,so I thought Miami would've beat them but I thought they would go to 7. Tbh I still think Boston will come back and win the series but Miami has made that really,really difficult now. All these other great duos in the league and Butler over here making this run like Kawhi did back in his Toronto days,got decent players with him but doesn't really have a true number two.

I’m glad you mentioned Kawhi and the Raptors as this is very similar to that. Butler seems to just get better the longer he plays, dude has really blossomed

Feel like these coaches are just going to shuffle jobs but are any of them really as an upgrade from what they had? Maybe the 76ers. Rivers should have more rings than he does, has had tons of talented teams, just can't get it done.
Denver has had closer games than I expected but I still think they sweep LA.
Not surprised at all with Miami-Boston. I thought the series would go seven before they even played because last year they went seven. Brown was terrible in game two but that won't happen the rest of the series. I still think it goes seven.

I'm hoping Phoenix gets Nurse or D'Antoni instead of the other guys

Miami has been nothing short of impressive. Up 3-0 with game 4 at home in the ECF as an 8 seed. As cool it would be for Denver to win a championship, I think I’m gonna root for Miami and Jimmy Buckets.

I still thought they would've had a chance to make it a series,even after falling to 0-3 but looks like they just gave up in the second half. Everybody was hitting their shots,going into the game if you knew Butler wasn't gonna hit 20,I would've thought Miami was gonna get blown out but they had guys coming off the bench looking like all stars. Never would've thought we'll be getting a Denver/Miami finals,if both teams continues to hit their shots,the finals is gonna be fun.

Yikes, Mazzulla might be done in Boston.

NBA was one series away from probably the biggest possible ratings match up they can produce and boom both down 0-3

I haven’t watched a second of these series. Don’t see that changing for the finals either.
I typically tune out of the playoffs when my team is out, which is weird this year cause it hasn’t happened before the finals in 9 years (missing the playoffs altogether is a different story).

Yikes, Mazzulla might be done in Boston. Seems like he was always in a no win situation no matter what he accomplished. Gotta wonder where this team would be if that stuff with Udoka(?) didn't happen. If he does get fired,is this the most big jobs ever open at one time? I mean we could have 4 of the top teams in the league looking for a new guy.

Boston finally has a pulse,this could get interesting if Miami doesn't close this out by game 6

I mean we could have 4 of the top teams in the league looking for a new guy. He really was in a no win situation. If Nurse goes to another team, I think maybe Mazzulla survives another season with not getting swept. A lot of teams seem interested the most in Nurse, including Boston from the sounds of it. You've got whispers of Harden leaving the 76ers for the Rockets and them trading Embiid. I have no idea who would want to go there if that were to happen. Maybe Steve Nash so he can have another chance at coaching? I think the Suns have the best job opening. I really like Giannis and the Bucks but I feel like the Suns are still the better job. I've seen dream scenarios of Giannis getting traded to the Warriors but I just don't think that will happen. It would be incredible to see but I just don't think it will happen.

I was hoping for that with Giannis before he re-signed. But dream is right, cause that’s all it is.

Getting Red Sox being down 3-0 vibes with this Celtics team,Heat better finish it up game 6 or they gonna become the 1 in 150-1. They've showed all year how streaky they are and now its happening in the worst possible time
Please Phoenix don't bring in Doc,I know Nurse is on top of everybody's wish list and gonna be rough to sign but throw that $$$ at him Ishbia. If not him I rather have the guy from the Suns staff,we need a Nurse not a Doc.

I’m no Boston fan but it would be cool to see another Boston team come back from down 3-0.
It’s never happened in the NBA so this would be a major historical first.

Especially seeing A Rod and Jeter in the audience,its screaming Sox down 0-3. If they get it back to Boston for game 7,I would load the stands down with Sox players from that series. We gonna get a 8th seed making the finals or a team down 0-3,either way they're making history in the East this year. If Boston comes back this is really gonna screw up Denver's plan, you know they've been focusing on Miami after they got up and now they might have to head to Boston for game 1&2.

That’s a great point, I didn’t even look at it from that aspect. How are they determining home court for the Finals these days?

Best record,if I'm not mistaken Boston had the 2nd best overall and Denver was 3rd both being behind the Bucks
