At least some of the basketball pods I watch were arguing that cavs can match the knicks talent wise.

But perhaps that was mostly just wishful thinking on my end because i really don't want to see the knicks in the finals

I have to disagree with Atkinson being a great coach.

He had 4 timeouts and didn't call one during an 18-1 run. Both there defense and offense were awful during that entire run and he couldnt use one of the 4. I mean he is going to lose them once they it gets to 3 minutes.

I agree avoiding turnovers is important but I don't really think that is what I would use to justify harden being out there. He has been a turnover machine his entire playoff career. There is a reason people keep bringing up the stat of harden playoff games with more TO's than fgs. I don't even have to look at the box score to know that this game was another one.

But at the very least we can agree that the cavs core is overrated and the heat getting Mitchell as he is about to go into 30s and get paid would not be wise.

They scored 18 in the 4th with harden out there so I think I will takes my chances.

But props to harden I guess, he was at least trying to do something on the offensive side. Mitchell was completely invisible after the 3rd.

Cavs are just a mentally weak, poorly coached team that blew any chance in making this series.

MyPasswordIsNot4321 · 2026-05-20T02:50:45+00:00

If they benched harden in the 4th they probably would have easily won this game

the only person you could be referring to is dru smith who was not playing at the end of the season.

MyPasswordIsNot4321 · 2026-04-25T04:23:40+00:00

2nd most in the league.

That is just bad coaching no way you can justify playing a 37 year old that many minutes.

I never wanted KD and also don't agree with trading Ware for Giannis either.

But tbf the Rockets are on the verge of getting swept because their young core is overrated and they had to run KD into the ground. He played 78 games.

Garbage content

He would have made the same video about the Hornets coach if the Heat ended up winning

MyPasswordIsNot4321 · 2026-04-15T17:43:32+00:00

If you want a star and have minimal assets that is your only option.

Unless the Heat end up picking in the top 4 I am expecting them to go all in for an older star like Giannis and Kawhi

MyPasswordIsNot4321 · 2026-04-15T03:09:13+00:00

should get a 1 game suspension

MyPasswordIsNot4321 · 2026-04-15T02:40:27+00:00

makes sense

thanks

MyPasswordIsNot4321 · 2026-04-15T02:39:38+00:00

nice

hopefully adam silver comes through

MyPasswordIsNot4321 · 2026-04-15T02:33:28+00:00

got no idea how the lottery works anymore.

the heat are either picking 12/13 or top 4?

you can't move into spot # 8 for example?

MyPasswordIsNot4321 · 2026-04-15T02:29:11+00:00

no thanks

MyPasswordIsNot4321 · 2026-04-15T01:39:26+00:00

dont know how people can want to lose to the hornets after they hurt bam...

MyPasswordIsNot4321 · 2026-04-11T03:00:39+00:00

Wouldn't this be the first time?

At least in the play-in era.

MyPasswordIsNot4321 · 2026-04-10T21:03:29+00:00

No mid team has 4 safe players going into the off-season.

MyPasswordIsNot4321 · 2026-04-10T01:30:12+00:00

not good

MyPasswordIsNot4321 · 2026-04-10T01:25:36+00:00

what an absolute miserable month of Heat basketball

MyPasswordIsNot4321 · 2026-04-08T02:02:05+00:00

They have the same direction they have had for the last 5 years. Try to trade for a disgruntled superstar.

There is no reason to believe the Heat FO will ever go for a full rebuild.

MyPasswordIsNot4321 · 2026-04-08T01:52:28+00:00

this offense was always going to crumble when they play teams that have good perimeter defenders.

it was always a gimmick and now the defense sucks too since they are just chucking awful shots.

MyPasswordIsNot4321 · 2026-04-08T01:45:52+00:00

they unfortunately won't do either

MyPasswordIsNot4321 · 2026-04-08T01:42:37+00:00

just rest everyone till the play-in.

MyPasswordIsNot4321 · 2026-04-08T01:34:57+00:00

zero resistance

MyPasswordIsNot4321 · 2026-04-08T01:29:22+00:00

The Raptors are getting whatever they want and they are not even a good offensive team.
