    I don’t blame the coach, he’s very wet behind the ears,

    The blame goes on GM Brad Stevens for putting a title contender in the hands of a coach clearly not up to it.

    @KiwiMurph blame the previous coach for getting wet and getting fired.

    That was an excellent game.

    Lakers went down fighting unlike the Celtics. Wonderful LeBron performance.

    However - Jokic and the Nuggets what a story. Talent, teamwork and coaching. How awesome for their fans - first Finals appearance. How good.

    I hope the Nuggets win it all. It's always good to see a first-time winner in US pro sports.

    They have golden opportunity. MIA handled Boston, but they were terrible, and the Heat are shorthanded. Joker, Jamaal and their excellent supporting cast should be too much for Jimmy

    @canefan don’t count out the Heat. Their shooting has been lights out and not just this series. Jimmy will be a headache for the Nuggets defence. Throw a cagey guy like KCP but Jimmy will back him down. Throw a Porter Jnr and Jimmy will outsmart him. Brown will be a good option.

    Bam is a different sort of player to AD. Bam likes the ball in his hands and is more of a playmaking threat. That’s a different defensive assignment for Joker.

    Hopefully the Heat get the business done tomorrow and both teams will be rested before the start of the Finals.

    @ACT-Crusader It will be fun to see what Spols cooks up to try and slow down the Nuggets offensive juggernaut. Given the Nuggets are middle of the pack defensively it could be a very high scoring Finals.

    Definitely won't count them out. They are well coached and well drilled

    Celts pull one out of the bag. Much better defensive effort.

    What a turnaround by the Celtics.

    Another strong defensive display and plenty of ball movement on offense to easily take Game 5.

    Game 6 this weekend in Miami should be wild.

    If the Celtics didn't review that foul would the officials have overturned the 2 point call?

    Wow, Celtics coming all the way back. On paper they should have never let it get to this point, getting into a 0-3 hole against a depleted Miami team. Looks like they might have woken up just in time

    There’s going to be some nervy players from both sides tomorrow. A buzzing Celtics crowd, a Heat team that is down on numbers, a desperate Jimmy and Tatum trying to not fall again.

    Head says Celts. Heart wants the Heat.

    Sources: Sixers to hire ex-Raptors coach Nurse

    Sources: Sixers to hire ex-Raptors coach Nurse

    Nick Nurse's desire to coach MVP Joel Embiid and his history with Daryl Morey played a significant part in his decision to commit to a deal with the Sixers, sources said.

    Nick Nurse didn't have to wait long. He will have a good squad to work with, Embiid, young up and comer Maxey, and a bunch of good role players. Harden looks to be gone and I think they are better off without him

    Yesss. Heat back to the finals. More importantly we won’t have to watch anymore Celtics. Can’t stand their offence.

    If you're the Celtics why would you supermax Jaylen Brown?

    He has awful handles, awful basketball IQ and comes up small in big spots.

    I just don't see it.
