@@ayoomisope6563 But the heat are not typically an 8 seed. They are 8 seed cause of injuries. Let me ask you this when did hero come back? How many games did butler and hero miss this season? Heat are 46 wins and 36 loss given their injuries and compare it to Bucks number 3 seed that has 49 wins 33 loss. The bucks are only 3 wins more than the 8 seed Heat . Boston are number 1 seed cause they are fully healthy.

[@bestofdbest934]

​@@MEANDMYDAD2023I think its more than just experience sometimes. You need the culture (work ethic, IQ, and positive outlook) and you need to be molded right under a great coach and/or mentor. Guys like UD helped a ton. Now Jimmy is doing something similar (due to his injury) by offering his mentorship and his advice to the guys on his team. You need a bunch of intangibles other than just experience. Bucks had a TON of playoff experince including a Finals one, but still lost to a crippled Miami team that had a bunch of undrafted players on the court. You can say the same with Boston. They've had numerous playoff experiences and also went to the Finals once. They are technically considered a decently young team BUT with enough experience to get them back to the Finals. I think the ONLY team right now which you cannot beat easily with simply experience, adjustment, and smart plays is Denver. They are obv a well coached team, but with a very talented and sized roster that can play extremely well on both ends of the floor.

[@tehjkhruighreuig]

Legs is so knowledge on the game itself and the mindset of the players love to hear him talk ball
