I do remember that convo vaguely, and like @ALonelyDad said, this is where Jimmy gets off the hook at but also why I've been saying dudes gotta chill with the extra Jimmy hype...
nikkas on here said a 50+ point Rd1 game is one of the greatest games ever. The stakes matter, the round and the setting matters. Being home or on the road matters. It was one of the greatest Rd1 games ever. Pull that 56-point shyt out last night on the road in Boston. That's a different game; it was Rd1...
Jimmy just scored 14 points in an elimination game and his coach sat him the entire 4thQ essentially because he didn't believe enough in Jimmy to bring them back. That shyt speaks volumes, it was an 18-point game heading to the 4th and Jimmy was up outta there early. Spo wasn't pulling Bron the whole 4thQ of an 18-point playoff game. Nor is Kerr pulling Steph. And on down the list of the names you mentioned. It's 18. Not 30...
We all know the expectations aren't the same for Jimmy. They never have been. His ascent deserves praise because what he's become in Miami, he never was anywhere else, we seen this man's entire career. But we dont, collectively, have to rush to give this nikka labels when the bar of expectation for fam isn't as high as it is for dude...
I'm a Jimmy fan like most other dudes here, always have been. But I try to keep shyt as objective with players as possible...
I'll disagree with LonelyDad on the point of, if the Heat become the first team to blow a 3-0 lead, he's gonna get eviscerated for it, because the reality is he's made himself a Hall player now. He's going to Springfield, so even though the bar is lower for him than others still, it's still higher for him than it was prior. He's gonna get killed if "Playoff Jimmy" blows a 3-0 lead, and he should, because at that point you had FOUR CHANCES to win ONE GAME. He'll get killed for it...
I'm still taking Miami in 6 though until proven otherwise

Jimmy can't shoot 3s so he can't bring you back individually down 18 points.
Miami better win game 6

None of the 3 other teams that were down 0-3 & forced a game 7 had home court.whoever wins game 6 wins the series
All Boston gotta do is stay disciplined on defense(like they have the last 2 games)stay down on them Jimmy pump fakes. Dude whole game is foul baiting then tryin to play bully ball after refs give him them weak ass calls & keep running Miami off the 3 point line then it’s over for these mf’s

If the Heat fukk this up. SO MUCH of the goodwill and props that Jimmy has earned will get ignored like shyt. 14/5/5 last night was unacceptable. A plus/minus of -24 (worst on the team) last night was bad.
Game 6 will be a dogfight, but the Heat cannot let this shyt go back to Boston.

I guess when Horford did the same thing in Game 1, the basketball gods punished them by putting them in a 0-3 hole
Just because someone jumps off a bridge, you don’t doit. Horford is known for doing that timeout call throughout the season.
The Heat still up 3-2 with a game at home, they better win that and close it out or Jimmy gonna look like a clown.
Right …
I think a lot of it is Jimmy's mentality that he never wants to force the issue, but with no Herro or Vincent they really needed him to put up 30 shots last night.
Show me the ref crew before I make that prediction… Right now Celtics are a -3 favorite on the road lmaooWho winning tomorrow night
If it’s Foster on the call… Celtics going to game 7… anyone else Heat winning… it’s a 3-2 series east for Foster to extend it to 7 lol, he couldn’t do that with the lakers in game 4 when Denver was already up 3-0
Smart money says pick the heat since they are the +3 underdog at home
The fact that Brogdon made it all the way to the ECF before having a serious injury is amazing in itself
