  1. Ah Tommy Beer comes out of nowhere to shit on a guy every time someone has a tough game with a bum ankle on top. And the media wonders why they get shit all the time?

    edit: you all are missing the point… I would have said the same thing if it was RJ or Brunson or Grimes or IQ or Mitch. Nobody had a good game yesterday and many of them made mistakes, but sources like Tommy Beer or Statmuse are always singling out this ONE guy who sucked, ONE guy who did this or that. Can I think that many guys on our team struggled, some because of injuries, some because of not mentally prepared, some because… they just have a bad game because it happens, or maybe the Heat is just a very good team that kicked it up a notch and pummeled the #1 seed that’s supposed to be a shoe-in for the Finals? Surely I must be making up excuse for this one guy. Go ahead and check my receipts – I make up excuses for ALL the guys. I think Brunson hasn’t been 100% because of his ankle. I think Grimes hasn’t been 100% because of his shoulder. I think Mitch isn’t great against the Heat against the bigger Bam. I think RJ has shown flashes that he’s talented but hasn’t been consistent enough but he’s still young. I think Thibs is running a small rotation because D-Rose is washed and Fournier has been and will be a mediocre defender. But do I shit on any of them for what they can’t do?

    Maybe I shouldn’t blame Tommy Beer – many of you clearly enjoy pointing to ONE GUY or ONE REASON for every L and give credit to one guy for every W as well. You all go ahead and continue try to find reason X or reason Y after every single game.

  3. If he’s the one who has to make the second rotation, it’s already a guaranteed bucket just because he’s always late and barely gets a hand up. You gotta run to that shit to close out. It’s literally just some effort.
