  1. I would love to see Steven a Smith get out there and play basketball because he got all the answers and he knows everything never got drafted😂

  2. I'm a Knick fan and it's in my nature to hate the Heat, but did ESPN forget the Heat eliminated the Celtics just last year to get to the finals?????

  3. When will people realize the heats roster is good and Eric Spo is a HOF coach. Also Celtics roster outside of brown and Tatum are MID AF. The heat finished a game behind the 5th seed with jimmy missing like half the season 😂😂😂 yall don’t watch basketball thinking the heat didn’t have a chance, we match up great with Boston it’s not about the regular season. Yall thought game 1 meant everything the heat played two play in games while Boston was resting & almost blew a 30+ lead at the end 😂

  4. Wait so the outlier is heat shooting well ? And not the fact that Martin, jaime, and high smith didn’t make a single three in game 1. Lmao you guys are in for a show

  5. can someone tell me why shannon is never on the show? I thought he signed with first take? truly curious

  6. If only ’EMVPiid’ was healthy then he and the Sixers would be what the Nuggets are to the Lakers…they would be running laps around the Knicks and dogging them. It’s not fair and it sucks that Joel and Philly is going through what they are going through but like said if he was healthy the song and dance would be different;

  7. Always give tons of respect to the Heat, but sometimes "analysts" act like you can just plan to make 23 3s in a game. I know there is nuance about how open looks and the Heat's defense was great, but like anyone team can beat almost anyone if they make that many 3s.

  8. I will say this until I am blue in the face. Joel Embiid is not a leader, and he certainly is not a winning player with a winning attitude. When things get tough, he mentally checks out and deflects blame onto others. It is for this reason that he will NEVER win an NBA championship, injury or no injury. He’s just not that guy

  9. Boston’s only unbeatable if they make 3s. They made 22 game 1 and made 12 game 2. Shaq said it best they shoot way too many 3s because of analytics. That only worked for the warriors and they have 2 of greatest shooters ever.

  10. Stephen A's arguement has a point and Windy's argument has a point but I would go with Legler's argument overall about the Boston Celtics..

  11. Preach Stephen A. We had the perfect coach in Ime Udoka and we fired him for nothing. Now where left with an okay coach who doesn’t hold the team accountable and doesn’t demand toughness

  12. Eric Spoelstra is such a good coach, it almost feels like the Heat are playing with an extra player out there at times

  13. This comment section clearly didnt watch the celtics during the season, also, just dislikes the celtics team. Lol yall funny people.
