It clearly wasn’t a Shining Moment for Anthony Davis in Game 3, but it was for Jimmy Butler. Butler was fabulous in every regard as he put his Heat team on his back and carried them to a must win in Game 3 to put some interest back into these NBA Finals.
Butler tripled doubled and got just enough help from Tyler Herro, Kelly Olynck, Duncan Robinson, Jae Crowder, and others to help the Heat ‘maybe’ get back into this series.
I thought both Lebron and AD were horrible. They didn’t come out engaged and we’ll see if they have some fire in Game 4. In each round of these playoffs the Lakers have had one bad game. Maybe Game 3 was that game in this final round.
God…I love Tyler Herro. If Klay Thompson isn’t careful Tyler is going to become my new favorite NBA player and poster child for my NBA metric system of TSN. His Toughness, his Snarl, his Nasty…are you kidding me?
If Tyler Herro could skate he’d be a fifty goal a season guy in the NHL. I hope Klay has his knee healed because if he isn’t careful Tyler is going to become my new NBA hero. He has Russell Westbrook’s snarl only with a basketball brain to go along with it.
The thought Pat Riley was going to trade this kid to Oklahoma City is laughable in hindsight. What Pat Riley should do is go get Lou Dort and bring him to Miami to go along with Tyler. Just a thought.
Anyway…Game 4 tonight. We’ll see if we have a series on our hands.
My Amy Adams buddy over at Daily Thunder sent me a CCR song for my birthday. Nice song, but I like this one you sent some time earlier. It’s become one of my favorite songs.
