I know he had that playoff series vs Detroit when he was dropping buckets at will with a broken finger? He seems like a cool dude and very difficult to guard. An efficient 32.9 ppg for one season doesn't exactly suck. I assume the rest of his roster wasn't very good?

In 1984, their second best player was Bill Cartwright, who was decent, but the rest of the roster was replacement level trash.

How they took the eventual champion Celtics to seven games in the quarterfinals was all because of King.

Lebron starting the cryptic "maybe I'll retire" game. Probably to try and get the Lakers to trade what assets they have for Kyrie.

Yea, I don’t buy it until Bronny has a year in the league.

He’s clearly still able to play at a high level.

Jayson Tatum has more turnovers than he has field goal attempts in the fourth quarters of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Humbly, I wonder if he'll make a field goal in the fourth quarter for the first time this series tonight.

I just think its his way keep the spotlight on himself, just like ol A-Rod did in GB. Get a bunch of people and media begging him to keep playing.

The only way I could see it is him retiring for a year to rest and recover and then coming back to wherever Bronny ends up as a second round pick next year.

If they bow out it will be interesting what happens to Brown. He's been absolutely abysmal and was great last year in the playoffs and Finals. Do the C's give him 300m?

When you factor in the postseason he has played the second most minutes of anyone in NBA history. His body can't sustain the level he is accustomed to, and I think LeBron is realizing that.

If he had done this a time or two before, I'd agree with you.

Given how he took over the 4th quarters of games 6 and 7 vs. the Sixers, it's been rather incredible to watch him just "fade into Bolivian" (thanks Mike Tyson) in the Q4s vs. the Heat.

It's a decision that can make or break the franchise. If they give it to him and he's great and they win titles, yay. But if they give it to him and he becomes their version of Harden, it will be an albatross for years. Or if they don't give it to him and he plays great elsewhere, that's a killer, too. Glad I don't have to make that decision.

End it tonight. Let him have a week to get game ready.

They seem to play better without him. The ball doesn't stop. Will the Heat be focused this evening? I have some concern.

After the Celtics quit in game 3, I’m sure a letter was written to the coach. That leadership will be invaluable to them tonight. Couple that with Jimmy calling himself Himmy, I expect the team that plays team ball wins tonight

Decent start for Miami although I'm not sure why Zeller played 5 mins.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #2942 on:** May 23, 2023, 08:46:18 PM »

Miami wasn't exactly on fire but are up 6. Martin has been the best player on the floor......hopefully I don't jinx him.

MU82 · « **Reply #2943 on:** May 23, 2023, 08:54:19 PM »

Caleb Martin’s twin, Cody, is on the Hornets.

Among the Hornets’ many woes, they got the wrong effen Martin.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #2944 on:** May 23, 2023, 08:54:30 PM »

Wow. Jimmy way off to this point.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #2945 on:** May 23, 2023, 08:56:08 PM »

I think I insert Martin immediately for Love.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #2946 on:** May 23, 2023, 09:01:15 PM »

Miami appears to be in trouble.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #2947 on:** May 23, 2023, 09:18:09 PM »

Not good. Smh.
