Oso planning to go pro
ISO for FVV to casually face up a much larger defender and heave? Yeesh.
At 22 years old, Tatum's 29, 10, 5,...2nd youngest to do that in a game 7. (Bryant). In 3 game 7's, 25, 8, 4 average for him.
I hate stats like this in basketball. It's so oddly specific just to make player comparisons.Why not make the threshold 30/10/5?
Bam with one of the best big-moment blocked shots in recent history.And of course, Jimmy wins it with a bucket for the Heat.Should be an enjoyable series. Already is!
I would love nothing more than a Nuggets/Heat final. Not so much because those are the two most enjoyable teams to watch, but more so that the NBA had a chance to have a Lakers Celtics finals and it blew up in their face.
Unfortunately, I think you are gonna see a ref show and a half in the West. The NBA lost out on their Battle for LA marquee WCF. But the consolation prize is a clear path for Lebron into the finals against an inferior opponent for another title. Gross.
Speaking of players, I used to defend him more than many others, but Paul George is a fraud. Dude is better suited to be the star on a 5-8 seed, than a pivotal piece of a championship contending team. He just vanishes in key moments time and time again.
Miami Heat are 10-1 in the playoffs. Their only loss was to the Bucks. What a great run so far!Edit: If you all are interested in who Duncan Robinson is, and how a 2nd-year player is the best 3 point shooter in the NBA this article is a must-read. https://www.theringer.com/nba/2020/9/17/21439778/duncan-robinson-miami-heat-boston-celtics-playoffs
He’s a great story, but let’s not get out of pocket. He’s a not the top 3Pt shooter in anything but pure volume. Klay and Steph are still in the league. Steph’s brother Seth shot a higher percentage than Robinson with a more all around offensive game, same with JJ Reddick. He’s been a non factor for most of the playoffs and a lot of the bubble. But he and the Heat are remarkable. The Cs just don’t have any clue what to do with them when the rubber meets the road. This could be a gentlemen’s sweep
A slightly more athletic Steve Novak.
Robinson did have the best % on 500+ catch and shoot 3s for a single season or some sh it.Hes not ever gonna be a well rounded player. But the guy is an insane shooter.This year he took 8.3 3s per game. And anyone who took similar volume/higher volume per game were well off his 44.6%. Bertans at 42.4% on 8.7 was really the only one close.Aside from Robinson and Bertans. The other 8 guys in the Top 10 took between 3 and 6.6 3s per game.So yeah, Robinson does beat most in "pure volume" but he also beats all but 3 in percentage(with much higher volume)
Congrats to Giannis for winning MVP. Lots of time to enjoy it.
