NBA Fans React To Celtics Beating Heat In Crucial Game 5: "Heat Are The Most Overrated No. 1 Seed Of All Time."

The Boston Celtics defeated the Miami Heat today, in a convincing win, 93-80. While the game was close for the majority of the time played, the Boston Celtics managed to break it open in the 4th quarter and go on a run.

There is no doubt that stealing Game 5 on the road was good for the Boston Celtics, as they will now have the opportunity to close out the series in Game 6 at home. Obviously, playing an elimination game as a home team is far better than being an away team in that situation.

A lot of NBA fans reacted to the Celtics managing to defeat the Heat. Some people roasted the Miami Heat for losing, but others were already looking forward to the potential Finals series between the Boston Celtics and the Golden State Warriors. Both those teams are in very good positions to win their Conference Finals and move on.

The Boston Celtics are now one win away from the NBA Finals. They have been to the Eastern Conference Finals before, but if they do get to the NBA Finals this season, it will be their first appearance on the highest stage during the Jayson Tatum-Jaylen Brown era.

The Miami Heat shouldn't be counted out just yet. Jimmy Butler has shown that he is very capable of winning a game with an explosive offensive performance, and that could potentially happen during Game 6. He has shown himself to be a player that shows up in the biggest moments as well.

Game 6 will be a must-win game for both teams, as the Miami Heat will be trying to avoid elimination, while the Boston Celtics will be trying to dodge a Game 7 on the road in Miami. Hopefully, that makes for some exciting basketball, and perhaps we'll see a close game that goes down to the wire.

Dennis Rodman Once Said He, Michael Jordan, And Scottie Pippen Could Lock Up LeBron James: "LeBron Is So Easy To Play. He’s So F**king Easy To Play. He Doesn’t Have Any Moves."

If there is something that will never end it is the comparison between players from different eras. Even in that niche, most comparisons revolve around the legendary players from the Chicago Bulls. Yes, we are talking about the likes of Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, and Dennis Rodman. A perfect example of that was seen by fans back in a 2019 interview featuring Dennis Rodman. The Worm was asked about his thoughts on guarding none other than LeBron James. Rodman replied: (starts at 6:06) "You know who could lock up LeBron? Me, Mike, and Scottie could. F*ck yeah. I would have locked his a** up. LeBron is so easy to play. He’s so f*cking easy to play, he don’t have any moves. Only move he has is streak down the line. He ain’t got no moves. Where he going?? Where is he going that’s quick? That’ll be sh*t, you can stop that. Scottie Pippen would have shut his f*cking a** down quick before I get to him. His game is too simple, he’s just big. I’m 260 and 6’8” and 6’9”, that’s the onl...

From Deep: At long last, Nikola Jokic's Nuggets can envision getting to the top of the mountain

Jamal Murray tore his ACL on April 12, 2021. Leading up to that night, he'd been playing at an All-NBA level for two months: In a 25-game stretch, Murray averaged 24.1 points on .509/.459/.935 shooting splits, 4.2 rebounds and 5.2 assists. He was even more efficient than he was in the bubble playoffs, and his defense had improved, too. Murray only got to play with Aaron Gordon, the Denver Nuggets' big trade-deadline addition, for five games. They won them all except the one in which Murray got injured. In 110 minutes, their new starting five scored slightly more efficiently than any iteration of the Kevin Durant-era death lineup in Golden State and defended like a top-five team. Two Nikola Jokic MVP awards later, Murray is back. So is Michael Porter Jr., who signed a five-year extension about a year ago and needed back surgery nine games into the 2020-21 season. The Nuggets remember how easily everything slid into place with Gordon in the mix. Newcomer Kentavious Caldwell-Pop...

Michael Jordan On LeBron James: "He's An Unbelievable Player, He's One Of The Best Players In The World... I'm A Fan Of His, I Love Watching Him Play..."

Even before he made it to the NBA, LeBron James was already compared to the greatest player of all time, Michael Jordan. His Airness made a huge impact on the league, winning six championships in eight years, dominating rivals every night, and becoming one of the best two-way players in NBA history. During his career, and even during his retirement, many players were compared to Jordan, but nobody could live up to the expectations. LeBron James was deemed 'The Chosen One' when he was a teenager, and comparisons between him and MJ never stopped coming. They have mutual respect, and the biggest proof of that came during the 2022 All-Star Game, where MJ and Bron embraced each other in Cleveland. James would post a big pic of his first and most recent encounter with Jordan, paying respect to the man that inspired him. Just like the Los Angeles Lakers superstar has always shown his admiration for James, Jordan has done the same before. Back in 2020, during a press co...
