One of the rare times I agree with Shaq. The Heat are so dangerous because of their consistency. Everyone understands their role and plays within their system. It doesn’t matter who looks better “on paper.” This is the best team left in terms of coaching and execution.
If the Lakers don't advance past the Nuggets, I'm rooting for Jimmy Butler. He deserves an NBA title for the way he has been playing during the playoffs.
He did this in Minnesota and got hate for it, was one shot away of the finals in Philly and didn’t get rewarded. Yes it’s a perfect fit but Jimmy been doing this.
Jimmy been like that and he willed this thats the beautiful thing about it y’all just ain’t want to accept it because it wasn’t pretty but everything in life ain’t pretty
@@vanlian7571 Butler has been that way, but his team's haven't been. The Heat are strict on diet, exercise, hustle, intensity, etc. Butler/Heat is a perfect match.
Yea spo is definitely once again proving that he’s one of the best coaches there is. It’s incredible what the heat are doing with just Jimmy, bam, Kyle Lowry and a bunch of undrafted guys
Miami lost to Atlanta at home in the play-in, almost lost to Chicago again at home in the second play-in, and then dominate the top East teams, mostly on the road. What a weird run.
In the 1 game play-ins, those other teams are just as desperate as they are. In a 7 game series Miami plays like they're desperate for a win in every game, the other teams do not. Talent-wise, they're not so different from those other play-in teams.
@@_emmanuel_ KD? Maybe. Debatable. But Klay?! Nah. That man washed up now. He ain’t even the 2nd best player for the Warriors now. It’s Wiggins. Curry been carrying that has been together with Draymond and Goofy Poole for the past 3 seasons.
@@mattender8323Facts. Curry plays good defense but it’s not enough. Can’t really blame him though, there’s only so much he could do with the tools he’s born with. But that’s what makes Butler great. He plays elite defense despite having a short wingspan etc. and of course his work ethic too.
A lot of respect for the Heat doing this without Tyler Herro and Oladipo (combined for nearly 30ppg) As a Miami fan I’ve been concerned all season and I can confidently say this is their best basketball yet. Not only has Jimmy saved his best for the playoffs, averaging like 10 more ppg, but his teammates adopted that mentality too. Coaching has been great too
Between what the panthers did to the bruins and what the heat is doing to the Celtics, I sense an intense hatred for south Florida teams in Boston. Not to mention what the dolphins have done to the patriots lately.
Tom Brady is 📨 incoming ✍️ sign that contract 📜... lol the irony... if he goes to 49ERS another 🏆if he does go with Miami 🏆🎉😂... good for the league who needs a wife 😆 lol... j/k
You know what makes a great coach is that you turn regular players to role players and make them work as team regardless if he have 1 or 2 all star and that is Mr. Spoelstra.
Still remember when Charles told Kenny that nobody is scared of the Heat and that people should be more worried about the Raptors….now the Heat are 3 games away from a finals appearance lol
This Bulls fan loves and misses Jimmy. We all saw this in him, repeatedly, even when he was not nearly as skilled or composed. He needed a winning org, guys invested in winning as much as him, and people with experience to guide him. The Heat checked all the boxes. It's depressing, but I'm happy for him. Great dude.
15 each to every Miami role player. Contrary to what the record shows, I think this team is far more ready for this moment than they were last year. Makes you wonder if Tyler comes back, should they use him as they did before and risk the rhythm of the team right now?
I think Tyler being out is actually a blessing in disguise. His offense doesn't make up for how much his defense gets punished. Especially in the playoffs
@@HalfAsianDerp I mean considering Duncan's still getting minutes Herro would definitely still help esp. When we go on those scoring droughts and we need another dude to create offense, but yeah dudes like caleb, K love and struss have been really efficient shooting wise these playoffs while also being great on defense and weve been able to dominate even without herro
@PT-hn7zm Duncan is getting less than 10 minutes on average, Tyler would be getting 30+. That's a lot more time to expose someone defensively. Also, Tyler is shorter than Duncan too which matters when it comes to defense
6:32, lol, Chuck is one of a kind with this stuff, he's got such a creative and smart mind. He's had an amazing life and I wish him the very best and I hope this main crew stays on for at least 5 more years, please!! 05/19/2023, 8:23am
Heat got a team full of unshakable killers. They play every possession like its the last minute of the 4th so when its crunch time theres really no adjustment. Lawry and Love are making strong first ballot hall of fame cases with their performances. Last guy to play at Butler level was 2019 Kawhi.
o boy. boston is gonna start guarding the perimeter more and the Heat are gonna start pounding the glass. Butler's comfort zone. scary heat, wild series.
lol - not sure why this stood out but, Chuck not understanding that old pine box coffins used to be nailed shut before they went into the ground to avoid them accidently opening as they are moved around (aka nail in the coffin = all done)....
@@NahYouTrippinFoREAL they’re wrong, Mike was young with championship inexperienced coach and franchise Jimmy is older end of career with Spo who’s won chips, and hasn’t even won yet
Miami always fights to the end win or loss. That effort alone wins you a bunch of games. I see so many teams give up when they can still win. I always liked Jimmy since back in Chicago when he was under the shadow of Derrick Rose at the time. He always had that killer mentality. But now he is more mature about his game and trusts his teammates. I hope we have a Heat/Nuggets final.
I agree with Shaq saying how Boston goes hot and cold consistently and that should be an area of focus for the Celtics. They just have enough talent that they always seem to get one more run than the other team and pull it off like they did against the sixers.
I'm not superstitious, I don't believe in ghosts, curses, karma, etc. Charles' ability to pick every single game incorrectly is making me question my beliefs 😂
Seeing the Heat in action in this first game. It's crazy to me how they get MORE coordinated the longer the game goes on. Like the first half is their warm up and then they actually play for real in the second half. Celtics seemed to not know how to handle it to be perfectly honest and turned it into a no defense all offense approach. The first half seemed to be theirs overall until Heat got warmed up. Also, chuck doesn't know what a coffin is. Funny stuff.
Butler is such a cool cat. He is playing with confidence, running with poise, walking with swagger, shooting with conviction.

Didn't expect this choice of words from a dude named Silviu lol

Yeah. I thought I was trippin cuz I agree with him too.
Butler and Spolestra beat Boston back in in the Bubble, they believe they can do it again.
Nuggets is also like this
Shaq should know these teams well, he was a part of both franchises
@@MrE_ nuggets messed up. We could have had Lakers, Suns, Celts and Heat, all Shaq teams.

@@Eltown33It’s not that serious🤣 plus KCP has a ring
Jimmy Butler coming to Miami really elevated his game, the Heat culture is a real thing.
He did this in Minnesota and got hate for it, was one shot away of the finals in Philly and didn’t get rewarded. Yes it’s a perfect fit but Jimmy been doing this.

Miami has the toughest player and the better coaching staff. Hands down.

Refs helped Boston a lot. A ton of no calls and questionable calls in Boston's favor. Despite that the Heat still won. incredible
Shaq speaks. Chuck disagrees.
Shaq: Am I right Kenny?😂
What is so strange is that if Miami would not have lost to Atlanta at home in the first play-in game then this would have been a first round matchup.
As a Bucks fan I am painfully aware of this
@12 PackersFan I'll pray for you and your franchise 🙏
Underdog fell asleep last night, woke up and remembered he needed to upload this video. What an esteemed gentleman!
Nothing but love and respect for Jimmy Butler. What a player! ❤
Jimmy looks so free out there, the way he finds and creates space is amazing, Curry/Jordan vibes
Curry is way better shooter, but Jimmy actually can play defense.
Curry only plays like that in the regular season, he lets Klay and KD carry him in the playoffs.

One thing we can guarantee is that Jimmy Butler is going to show up. We can’t say the same thing about any guy on Boston
This is the best show on game analysis of all time !!! Love these guys together !!!
It was nice to hear Shaq give Kenny his flowers 9 threes in the Playoffs is still crazy
It was only 7 but Shaq naturally embellished 😂
@@bryansweeney9295 🤷😆
Shaq is on the money here. Great job by the big fella.
It takes a team to win and it includes the coach. Coach Spo showing playoff experience rn.
If Erik Spoelstra gets to the finals this year then he should be a Hall of Fame coach first ballot no questions if any.
He has all been a ball fame coach and when ever Riley retires spo will take over
Pat Riley's eye for talent is unmatched in the league.
Shaq was the only one that believed in the Heat 🔥
Duhhh he was one so he knows what heat culture is
Shaq is the 3% that believes in the Heat
