Mario Chalmers Ejected After Elbowing Knicks Vujacic (Video)

He should be excused. It's Vujacic. Everyone wants to hit him. Even when he was playing for the Lakers I didn't mind if someone took a swipe at him. He's just so punchable

That foul call on JR was tough. Big time shot by Bradley, he knew it was going in.

It was a bad call but Cleveland must grab that rebound on the missed ft

So the heat finished their 14 of 16 on the road stretch at 8-8. I'll take it. Scary thing is it would have likely been 10 wins if not for Wade, Whiteside, Beno, & Goran missing some games

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Heat play 12 of the next 14 on the road- teams that include Golden State, LA Clips, OKC, Toronto, Atlanta, Milwaukee, Washington- and then follow that up with 2 home games against the Clippers and Spurs. They are currently 22-15 and 5th in the East.

TURNUP- here ill make a small bet with you if you would like.

After that stretch of games which ends a month from now- the Heat WILL NOT BE IN PLAYOFF POSITION IN THE EASTERN CONFERENCE.

Winner gets to choose the others avatar for a week. IF the Heat are in 8th or better after those road games and that 2 game home stand- (which ends February 9th- a MONTH from now), you win.

If the Heat are in 9th or worse on February 9 after the days games- I win.


Deal?

lets see that schedule that culminates with a home game vs. San Antonio on February 9th.

@ Golden State Jan 11
@ LA Clips Jan 13
@ Denver Nuggets Jan 15
@ OKC Thunder Jan 17
vs. Milwaukee Jan 19
@ Washington Wizards Jan 20
@ Toronto Raptors Jan 22
@ Chicago Bulls Jan 25
@ Brooklyn Nets Jan 26
@ Mulwakee Bucks Jan 29
vs. Atlanta Hawks Jan 31
@ Houston Rockets Feb 2
@ Dallas Mavericks Feb 3
@ Charlotte Hornets Feb 5
vs. LA Clips Feb 7
vs. San Antonio Spurs Feb 9

that is positively BRUTAL!!!!

With 2 to go, Heat still 7 over .500 and 5th in East.
Pretty ironic and impressive considering schedule and injuries.

Mario Chalmers Ejected After Elbowing Knicks Vujacic (Video)

To be fair, Sasha Vujacic can be an annoying fuck on defense (was one of my favorite things abiout him when he was a Laker). Guarantee that Mario isn't the first player to want to do that to him.

No more horse back riding on Andrea Drummond.

I think I saw Zach Lowe tweet out a clarification that's its only been suggested and its not official yet. Regardless, it needs to happen

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

The Bucks lose to the Jazz. Milwaukee is playing terribly for a team loaded with good young talent.

Nobody can shoot worth a damn.

You hit the nail on the head.

Who you got in the Bowl, GnG?

I was thinking about your Team the other day.

Zaza has been playing great this year. But, at his age, do you re-up him?

Or.....do you try to trade for Monroe, who is on the block, or chase Dwight in the Summer?

Do you think Chandler Parson's will opt-out for a bigger deal?

There is a lot of age on the Mavs and Cuban will have to make some important decisions after this season. I have Carolina in the SB.

According to Dan Patrick, Derek Fisher just got fired.

His greatest moment with the Lakers was not knocking down the clutch free throws to seal game 7 against the Celtics, but the grooming of the eyebrows before shooting 'em!

 

[WiggyRuss]

there is absolutely ZERO chance it happens right now---and I think the chances are even slim if the Cavs lose the Finals- of course zero if they win the Finals--- but a Love trade- supposedly Celtics would give the Cavs Crowder, Bradley and a Nets 1st rounder tomorrow if the Cavs would do it for Love and his very good contract.

If I were the Celtics, I wouldn't do that.

 

[Bolts]

If the Cavs don't win this game by 15+ I'd be shocked.

 

[SFGRTB]

3 B.S. fouls, and a 4th foul to our two best players, less than 6 minutes into the game. Probably will be 30+

Marco actually showing up tonight has kept it close early, but with them in foul trouble this close score won't last. That first foul on Rudy was horrible and the 2nd on Demarcus seemed iffy as well. Our chances were bad enough without the refs putting our top scorers on the bench.
