Before I jumped in to the Miami Heat bandwagon, I just want to feel bad for the #Lakers last night. That was a horrible game after 6 days off. There was no leadership whatsoever throughout the game from the Lakers. One more touch there were no clear third guy matching Lebron and AD. I guess they have to figure it out on Sunday or they can end up like the Bucks.
Impressive night from James #Harden. Finally playing hard and smart with Westbrook. Not sure if they can keep the momentum going down the stretch but it was well run game and they play some defense. By Sunday we will know how deep the series will go cause Clippers aren't messing much this time.
I feel like a Heat vs Clippers would be out of ordinary right now. Just throwing shade, that's it.
What just happened to Giannis and company? Straight from third quarter I thought we are going to have a series. But now a sweep looks imminent. Jimmy the man with a plan, plays so aggressive he alone derails the Bucks offense early on. He was having faults like crazy allowing to have free basket all over the fourth quarter.
Himself alone scored more points than the #Bucks offense. I am worried for the coach job as well. #Heat coach staffs are champions so they know when to call timeout and posing more problems for Giannis.
I know he got hurt big time but you can see he tries to do too much to go through the basket. Worried if he will be able to play Sunday.
This will be a first for a number seed going home from a sweep in the second round. I guess the bubble got the best of them. On the other note there are some key players with an incredible game like Lopez but not enough to pull a win with a Miami team playing Heat defense.
Apart from Butler, Dragic, you have couple more guys that can play defense and score well. Heat can go far this year if they are hot scoring the ball. They already know how to play defense, just keep finding ways to score.
Team play mentality reminds me of Detroit Piston and Boston Celtics when they had no clear superstar. Jimmy plays like a leader and a scorer in due time.
From now we all can start thinking, this is Antetokounmpo last year with the Bucks. Small market and he needs help to carry on. I am pretty sure the tweets of comparing them to Jordan and Pippen or Batman and Robin was just noise for Giannis. James did not take it too heart and lost tonight.
Anyways the bubble is making things harder for some teams and so easy for others.
May the best team wins.
