Kemba Walker is out indefinitely with a torn meniscus. Between this and Detroit losing Jennings, its apparent no one wants the 8th playoff seed in the East

That Lebron James object in the MVP race mirror is closer than it appears.


Dude is tearing it up since he got healthy...and the team has a pretty nifty W/L with him in the lineup overall.

Mozgov has been a difference maker. They are starting to gel now but Love still needs to find his place more frequently and in the post, but they are improving especially Lebron and Kyrie playing together.

They need a good 15-20 game winning streak but I am getting ahead of myself. 7 is a good start.

Why does anyone want the 8th seed, ever?

Money

Money

Yep. Revenue from a minimum of 4 extra games and playoff bonuses for players and coaches.

Bad News...

Based on initial examinations, the Miami Heat are expecting to be without guard Dwyane Wade for an extended period after he was sidelined in the second half of Tuesday's 109-102 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks with a strained right hamstring.

We're only a couple days away from the game of the year. Next Monday: Warriors vs Hawks! Hold on to your hats, folks.

First Detriot, then Charlotte, now Miami. If there are any more injuries in the East, the Boston Celtics, currently 16-28 and trading away everything they have for a bajillion draft picks, could very well make the 8th seed. They're only 2 games out as it stands now

That would be ridiculous.

By the way, at least 4 of those picks came from the Clippers

I think the Heat can survive without Wade if Deng comes back soon. Without Wade or Deng we'll struggle big time but if Deng comes back soon with our favorable schedule coming up over the next month or two, I think they can survive.

I think Wade comes back after the AS break since it is so long this year. February 20th I assume he'll be back. They only play 7 games in that time period and he would get 3+ weeks to recover

I'm pretty sure it is February 6th which is next Friday

We expected this. From jump, Heat beat writers said this looked like his first hamstring injury where he missed about 3 weeks so I honestly was expecting him to be out until the AS break at least.

Instagram Sportswriter guaranteed 5 years ago Demarcus Cousins would get arrested by now.

Utah took it to golden state tonight

Yup damn it. Was out of sync all night

Last time they lost 2 in a row, including one they shouldn't have lost, was the 2 they dropped in LA. They then went on a ridiculous winning run.

This is where you see if you have good coaching, do they get back on track? My bet is yes.

 

[bksballer89]

The next 4 games is a good test to see if they're able to move past this

VS PHX, @ SAC ( a sneaky team that could trap you up just like Utah), VS DAL, & @ ATL
