Jaylen Brown just shot 16% from 3 in the ECF.

Woof, dunno why anyone would be targeting him in a trade.

[Superfreakie]

I didn't expect to be bored for most of the second half...

Does Boston have a playbook or is their offense just random?

When this team panics, it is spectacular how badly they fall apart. Sadly, there is no steadying force to right the ship when it happens. 

Crazy how Brown can be All-NBA and then be exposed as someone who can't actually dribble in crunch time.

Right? Qualified for super max contract with the all-NBA moniker. Not sure who would touch him. I think a trade for a serious A-type leader is desperately/evidently needed at this point. Quite a few pieces on this team won't be back.   

ill give you one Julius Randle for one Jalen Brown

Sorry, but I'll take Brunson.

Jeez...one bad series and now we're gonna forget 7 seasons of steadily improving performance?

He's entering his prime and there's no fucking way you let him get away.  He's not an alpha, more of a 1B to Tatum's 1, which most teams would be dying for.  They have the next 5-6 years to play out their prime (Brown is 26, Tatum 25).  I believe that Joe Mazzulla will have some veteran assistants added to the staff, which should help with the Xs and Os and ideally put the Jays in better position to win.

[Superfreakie]

more of a 1C to Tatum's 1B,

Fun game last night. Does any team get more open 3s than Miami?

[VA $l!m]

yet another example of Miami letting teams beat themselves.

Nuggz are going to need MPJ to show up or they're going to be in trouble. 

Vincent is balling, you almost worry about Herro coming back and taking minutes from him.

Pretty crazy that the Heat pulled it off last night with only 3 from Martin because he was sick and a pretty pedestrian 21 points from Butler. But how about Duncan Robinson in the fourth? Dude took over the game there for a minute. 

[mattstick]

Hard to imagine bringing Herro back into the series at this point, maybe you bring him in for a few minutes and see if he's got his shot, but the Heat rotation is pretty full right now.

Actually Spo should give him Lowry's minutes.

Maybe I have a blind spot for him, but Lowry has played OK in that "bench boss" role, hitting a few threes and playing his "old guy drawing stupid fouls" game.

Welp, point is moot because no Herro for Game 3. Hopefully Lowry won't have 3 turnovers in 23 minutes again.

i gotta admit i'm a tad concerned for the Nuggets.
Tonight's game could really determine the series it feels like.
