NBA Playoffs

I'm probably in the minority of being a big Jimmy Butler fan. I used to be just a Bulls fan but when he left, I basically just started rooting for whoever he played with. I dunno, I like his grit and making the most of his limited offensive game. Seems like the perfect fit with Pat Riley. It doesn't hurt that he was best buds with one of favorite Broncos, the late (and great) Demaryius Thomas.

All of that said, I wouldn't be terribly upset if CP3 got a ring. I like Giannis, I like Jayson Tatum, I really like watching Golden State play the game of basketball.

I like Jimmy buckets. Crazy back story!
 
Butler is real. In his time with the 76ers, they were one bounce away in Game 7 semi’s of beating the Raptor’s team that went on to win it all. Butler was close with Embiid, and a real-world antidote to Simmons. Interesting locker-room stories about accountability. Biggest mistake the 76ers made was letting Butler go to Miami and trying to build around Simmons. It led to a couple of lost seasons, and now with Embiid out (aka the 2021 league scoring champ), the 76ers are DOA.

yeah, he just needs a little help out there.

But man, if Embiid stays healthy throughout this series, Miami is going to have play perfect (or close to it) ball. Miami just doesn't have anyone who can actually match up to him....shoot, they don't have any 2 people who can double team him and match up. Unfortunately for the last game, Harden must have thought it was the regular season 3 years ago given his production. My hope is that Miami will actually hit a few outside shots tonight (they had plenty of open looks last game).
 
Quit watching pro basketball several years ago Nothing but a pushing match anymore. College is getting the same way. To bad, because was a die heart basketball fan
 
There are NBA playoffs?
 
Celtics vs Bucks

Has been an excellent playoff series.
 
I started to watch GS self-destruct yesterday. It wasn't a pretty sight. So I gave up watching them. They played like they didn't care.

Missing their coach most likely. I think they win tomorrow. Coach is out sick until next week so they probably want to end the series

yeah, I bet Sacramento is thrilled to see the coaching clinic being put on by Mike Brown.
 
Sigh of relief…Celtics moving on and playing Miami for the Conference Championships…
 
The playoffs for hockey and hoops have been excellent.
