Well was right w/ Brothers blowout, just on the wrong side. I mentioned, apart from just 2 series, teams that have won under Brothers takes the series. Denver eventually win?
Heat were rolling early w/ Strus in redemption mode raining 3s on Denver. 2Q was when Brothers & his merry men put in the work - when Gabe Vincent was given 2 quick fouls almost within seconds of one another. 3 fouls total for Gabe in the 2Q. Gabe is an integral player for Heat was forced to sit longer than Spo wanted. 2h Heat had no shot w/ calls not going there way until it was garbage time.
Vry confident w/ the play. Unfortunately the league had other plans.
I smell The Extender looming. . .

Brother, lately the NBA has been aware of this narrative with REFS extending or certain REFS ATS records vs a player (CP3) etc. I used to really look at ref assignments too, but this playoffs though, the public and NBA are both aware now of this REFS ATS/extending series rumors. Maybe we shouldn't rely as much as before anymore on ref assignments. I think the NBA has caught up on this, hence, the recent REF trends being broken this playoffs.

Foster/Kennedy ref'd gm3 LAL/DEN. DEN won on ROAD. That put DEN up 3-0.
If going by face value w/ the stats it's MIA @HOME. But we all are aware by now, these PO's especially, things are not easy & obvious as blindly following ref stats. We'd have a losing record if so. The public is also aware of the whole Foster Extender stuff. So do we fade the refs here?
We also have an understanding of league ratings & revenue. If Miami lose here they risk this ending in gm5 @Denver for a very anti-climatic finish. NBA love to fabricate drama. The shock & surprise element - when you think one team is down & out they rise form the ashes & win. Much like after gm1 everybody had Miami out, some took out their brooms only for Miami to have a better outing in gm2. What better theatrics for ratings than to have Denver losing gm4 & Have Miami even the series heading back to Denver w/ a tied series.
Plays coming momentarily.

Theatrics and ratings talk still? If that was the case, it would have been Lakers vs Miami or Lakers vs Boston. If that were the case, Lakers wouldn’t have gotten swept.
Those angles are tired

Yes, they've been making things less obvious for about 5+ yrs now. There was a point where you cld follow the stats blindly & it was money. I made big runs during that time. Bit more tricky now but can still read things here & there if you follow what you think is there agenda. Hopefully we get on the right side of them tonight.

This is why you're one of the best. Because your brain works correctly, lol. We can see the world going mad around us.

The 2022 Warriors were down 1- 2 and won the next 3 over the Celtics. The 2021 Bucks were down 0-2 and won the next 4 over the Suns. The 2016 Cavs were down 1-3 and won the next 3 over the Warriors. From 2017 to 2020 all 4 winners never were never trailing the NBA finals series.
that probaby has something to do with the dominance of Golden State but I don't know, time flew by recently.
