Miami's in trouble of losing this series.

the momentum has seriously shifted. Harden is getting on track.  Heat role players aren't as effective on the road.
76ers still need to steal one on the road.  Game 5 seems the most likely.

I don't trust their supporting cast. I like their top 4 players. I do not trust the rest.

I also do not like how little help Bam has in the paint. Even though Olynyk and Meyers Leonard were not great defenders or rebounders, they were legit 7 footers who gave MIA some size inside alongside Bam when they made the finals two years ago. They miss that.

Now who they have? PJ Tucker at 6-5? Jimmy Butler at 6-7 with short arms? They are a super small basketball team that is over-reliant on Bam to do everything for them on the interior. He needs some help.

Miami plays very well as a unit and they have a great coach. That’s not enough in the playoffs, though. It’s nearly impossible to win a championship without having a top 10 player in the league.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

The other series definitely seem to lack the 'grit'n'grind' that the Celtics/Bucks series has. If the winner of makes it out relatively healthy, I think all other teams would be in for a shock in terms of physicality and intensity. It reminds me of the series against the Cavs in 2008.

Speaking of Giannis bulldozing and wrestling on the court... this Grizz-Warriors series may have actual casualties at this rate lol with all the physical play, injuries, etc.

Isn't that wild? I heard Garnett say he's overrated, a small market athlete the NBA elevated for monetary gain.

It's weird, because the stats back up the claim that the Grizz are better without Morant but even Grizzlies fans will tell you that's preposterous. And it does seem like it when you see the kind of performances Morant has lol

Yeah, he's obviously a world-class athlete (like Westbrook, as liam said) and clutch these playoffs, but he also carries a lot, doesn't shoot the 3 well, and can be exploited defensively.
