    Great Take! That is exactly what i watched. Multiple WIDE open looks that they didn't make.

    It’s truly amazing what Luka (and Kidd) have done with this roster.

    It’s a team full of inconsistent scrubs pretty much.

    And they took down the #1 overall 1 seed.

    Scrubs with length, and they play defense

    They do play tough D, but are they really that long?
    They start Brunson 6'1" at Guard
    Bullock at 6'6" at SF
    Dorian Finney Smith 6'7" at PF
    Powell 6'10" C

    None of them have a long wingspan.

    Their bench is longer for sure.

    They play defense because of Kidd, hence the remark it’s amazing what he has done with this team.

    He took essentially the same team and made them much, much better defensively.

    The NBA should be embarrassed. Look at this product. Blow out game sevens in the second round. A 3-0 deficit in the conference finals. What a shit show.

    I'm quite sure NOBODY is embarrassed. They are making more money than ever. The fans will get over it. People may not like this, but it's VERY true.

    Probably want a few more games than a sweep though.

    The TV stations maybe. League likely doesn't care.

    If Warriors and Heat meet in the Finals during Pride Month, I hope Governor Newsom gifts DeathSantis a rainbow flag to commemorate the occasion.

    I agree with this. On a side note, I got booked by TNT for 7 games and travel home. So I'm getting paid thru May 31st regardless. Praying for a sweep FAMS!

    Game 1 of WCF had best ratings since 2018.

    People watching to see the Warriors lose. I bet it's gone down since then.

    With 3:20 left in 1st quarter, Miami had only 1 point. Gotta be a record.

    Arena's make money when they fill them. The league and teams definitely care.

    You should try watching the NHL playoffs. It can be more entertaining as it’s not as predictable.

    The blow outs are the result of the 3 ball becoming so dominant. Pretty silly/dramatic reaction you have to it... are you aware that the best team in the league at 3 point shooting (the Warriors) are the ratings kings as well?
