That Indiana PG was DIFFERENT! Had his own kinda swag and was smooth with his moves (still, he's smooth). Him showing the hand to the opposition's defense and draining a THREE from Way downtown would always be one of the coolest moment! 💯

[@takemeout5687]

@@invalidusername201 The thing about the Heat is that the fit kinda sucks. Lebron was a ball dominant, non shooting forward(he's gotten better now, but still not elite) with Wade being a ball dominant shooting guard. Then you add Bosh who's best offensive output was 20ppg but had average rim protection. Add all of that with a mediocre bench (elite shooters with no defense, and defenders that can't shoot apart from Rashard who's fighting for minutes with Bosh being the starting PF) The reason why the Warriors dominate and the Heat barely beat play off teams is because they have more flexible players, better bench, and most importantly a superior coaching staff that could make use of the 2 best 3PT shooters in the NBA and a flexible 7ft scoring machine. The Heat were destined to be average in 2-4 years after Wade's knees turned into jelly. And the Warriors are probably going to win the finals this year

[@Icantthinkofone1]

I read a lot of comments and not ONE person mentioned the play design by Eric spolestra it’s beautiful: Okay mind you they ran the same pick play for Ray Allen at the end of regulation so he combines that respect from the defense puts battier (a shooter) on in bound for a possible pass back I.E (Villanova game winner) off the inbound then you hav cole clear the paint back to the the top of the key to create off ball attention while coming off a bosh screen who fades to the corner so you can’t really help off him Ray or battier at this point bron drives to his left which is his go to with a clear lane GENIUS play design.
