Looks a lot like Jason and the Tatumaires from circa 1987. |

the best thing that could happen for the nba is the heat beat the lakers in the finals. it would be a great story IF the NBA allows it to happen. but probably they will hand it to lebron and the lakers. |

Joe Mannix is confronted by Harry Elliott, with whom Mannix served in Korea and who was later court-martialed, on testimony from Mannix, for giving information to his captors while a prisoner of war. Elliott claims that he is going to put Mannix through the same ordeal he faced at the hands of the North Koreans, and gives Mannix a name that Elliott claims Mannix will be unable to hold back once he becomes a captive. Then Elliott's threats seem to come true when Mannix is offered a sizable sum of money for the name of an informant within an underworld organization - and is threatened with much worse if he refuses. |

Does their defense and the blossoming of Herro make them jump from #5 to #1? |

Spoelstra is running laps around Stevens though. The talent is comparable but Spoelstra is exploiting Boston's main weakness which is Walker's shoddy defense. |

I think the difference is Miami is cohesive and Boston isn't. Winning has a momentum onto itself. That's college rah-rah stuff but I think it applies to the Heat. |

Couldn't agree more....on being outcoached what's Stevens supposed to do bench him.....good luck with that If by "bench" him you mean don't play him at all I'd say no don't do that. You have to play him. Shorten his minutes and don't play him down the stretch or a lot in the 4th quarter. Simple. If you lose that way at least you know you gave yourself the best chance to win. Imo. With Hayward back and looking good give Walker's minutes to him. These games are being won and lost because of the mismatches that he is presenting as a defender. There isn't really a matchup for him during this series. Better coaches make adjustments and til now Stevens hasn't made any unless you count the musical chairs that he seems to be playing at center. |

Lakers may be ahead the whole game, but this game feels very even. You feel like the Nuggets can tighten it up in no time. |

Lebron hacking people down the stretch. Both no calls killing Denver. |

How many offensive fouls does Lebron get away with per game? It's at least 3 per game if not more. |

Said this earlier in the season and now there is no doubt. Bam Adebayo is the Heat's best player. |

Brad Stevens blew this game. Should never have reinserted Theis back into the game. |

Tatum not deciding to play until the 2nd qtr was a bigger detriment than anything Stevens did. Big players need to play big the entire game. I’m a big Tatum fan, but shitting the bed in the first qtr the last 3 games ruined the Celtics chances. |

Glad the greatest GM in history saw that Jimmy was the perfect fit to get the Heat into the Finals and mentor Bam into a star. I suspect Tatum’s on the Melo career path and this conference final is as close as he’ll ever get while he’s doomed to tour the league putting up meaningless stats as the #1 on mediocre teams. |

Probably Lakers in like 5. But there is a small chance of a 2004 Pistons thing. I hope so. |
