5/27 - Weekend At Bernie's
- Thread starter DeJesus Built My Hotrod
- Start date
I really need homers for these games and both Grande and Cornbread care as much as we do. Plus they are far less takey even while criticizing the execution of either team.
Playing D when their own offense sucked is what Mazzulla has been harping on for weeks.
I think he does respect the 2004 comeback, but I’m also pretty sure he is a total moron.
I feel like being a moron was totally their thing.
But he was probably cheering for the celtics.. possibly.
Not sure if it was said anywhere in the last 50 pages but if it was it bears repeating:
Fuck Dan Lifshatz!
Fuck Dan Lifshatz!
Derrick White beat the clock by almost the same amount as Roberts beat the throw. Eerie.
"Cleaning the kitchen" aka getting the white powder off the counter? Feel like I have a white nose right now watching that forever ago and still can't fall asleep!
you'd think, but I saw multiple decent NBA reporters on Twitter who missed it too, tweeted about it, then had to delete when a colleague pointed out the rule.
Havent watched a single minute live due to severe anxiety issues, just check the scores on my phone when I think the game is over. Then come here to read the comments.
Monday night, I will NOT be watching the game live......

I’ll add that Tatum going 15-15 from the stripe is utterly massive. Needed every one of them.
Vincent with his hands in the air doing not much except celebrating Smart’s miss while White is right in front of him going to the rim for the tip-in is eerily similar to Rodman and Salley (I think Salley) running down the court celebrating the Pistons defensive stop while Isaiah Thomas is left on an island trying to find someone to whom he can inbound the ball (he eventually found Bird).
Pretty sure he has his hands in the air to try and say he didn't foul Smart on the three.. I'm pretty sure he did shove him a bit which is why Smart was off balance. Doesn't matter after White's shot went in.. but if White didn't make it I think Smart would have had something to complain about there.
I think the play was supposed to go to Brown. Smart set a weak screen on Bam and let him go over the pick..and then cut to the ball. The play was probably supposed to go to Brown with either a turn and shoot or a pass back to White in the corner when he cut there. Smart let Bam slip the screen and the rest is history.
I know one thing... after he said that I was thinking.. sure. Let's play right now and see what team has more momentum... plus who is he kidding thinking his shorter rotation would love playing another full 48?
Here comes the too much time added to the clock angles that will fuel many a hot take over the next 45 hours.
You're a coach and you don't know that a shooting foul being 2 or 3 is an auto review every time? Joe's challenge had literally 0 downside at that point.
This is funny. Heat fans celebrating and not noticing the tip in.

Butler should have taken the free throw instead of Strus on the Grant foul on Bam with the ball still waiting to be inbounded. Reggie Miller still wants Bam to get two free throws.
I like that you see the one concerned guy looking at his phone right at the end of the video. Reminds me of LaLa Land “winning” Best Picture.
I hope his team waits 48 hours when the game starts 45 hours after his comment
I mean.. they're staring down the barrel of the first 0-3 turnaround in NBA history.. Spoelstra has to talk confident. Butler has to talk confident. Celts HAVE to come out strong on Monday.. because they'll get the best the Heat have to offer.. and just put the whole thing to rest early.
Shaq talking about how Jimmy and Butler can't play this bad again.. Celts also aren't going to miss that many threes at home in a Game 7.
I thought that whole sequence was a momentum killer for the Heat – as was the Bam technical/rim hold/goaltend.

Two hours later and I am only just realizing White inbounded.
Tatum was pretty crucial. He took two guys 30 feet from the basket, leaving three on the three other Celtics. Nobody took the guy inbounding and the back door was wide open. Bounced right there. White busted ass right away. Just made it. It actually looks like maybe the play was supposed to be a pass back to White, or had that as an option.

Tatum was also right at the rim for the rebound, ready to grab it on the other side at the exact same moment as White. When he needs to dial it up, he has a knack for getting huge offensive rebounds (lucky it wasn't needed).
Forgive me if I missed it but does anyone have a link for the Grande/Max call synched to the video?
