Heat up 14 at halftime....and I'm out to enjoy this rare spring night in NYC in February. Hopefully the Heat do not blow it.

I ended up putting in a live bet on this game for Heat -3.5. I also hope they don't blow it. I don't think they will. Have fun!

I can't wait to see how the draft shakes out for them.

Will they have 2 top 5 picks?

If they do, will they trade one or both for a Star?

If they keep one, do they take Fultz or Ball?

Are they dumb enough to extend Embiid this Summer?

Embiid has been mostly a spectator since being drafted by the Sixers.

I think you're good.
This squad is no joke.
They come at you in waves from all different directions playing hard every minute.

This will be their 7th road win out of last 8.
Only loss was in Philly playing on a back to back last night of 3 in 4 nights.

Agree that it's win it all or bust for this team. But I wasn't talking about the end result of the season. I was talking about the actual playing of the game in the 48 minutes they play each night. Have you ever seen a team play this well before? They play D, they pass, they score in buckets, they run, they have electric pace, they do everything. Maybe there have been teams as good as they are but never anyone better.

They are definitely playing well. But yes, I've seen teams play better. But you have to remember, I'm old and have been following the NBA for 46+ years, so I've seen a lot of basketball.

I will say though, that it's been at least 20 years since I've seen anyone play better.

 

[trojanfan12]

And will get 100M next year.

You're probably right about that. Especially if he improves in Dallas as Heatles suggested.

LEts hope they get that 8 seed so i can see the matchup ive been dying to see for the last few years!!!!

 

[WiggyRuss]

lets hope that Bogdon is eventually better then he was in his debut....lol

dude blows.

 

[trojanfan12]

No matter how solid of a role player he's been for the Warriors, he's most remember for bone headed plays throughout his career. He doesn't have to like Shaq making jokes and saying he's a bum, but for himself and the entire team to bitch about it seems like an overreaction. Just ignore it and focus on your team.

Agree. It's not as if Shaq just made a bunch of stuff up. He has video evidence to back up everything he's said.

Kyle Korver made his debut and, as expected, he struggled. He didn’t have a chance to practice with the team at all due to Mike Dunleavy being undecided on his situation with the Atlanta Hawkson Monday.

He went 1-for-5, and 0-for-2 from long-range, in 18 minutes.

 

[trojanfan12]

He's projected to be better than Stephen Curry, at least according to Ball's father. LOL. Who knows? Maybe Ball's dad is right.

Projected? His Dad said he's already better than Curry. lol

 

[trojanfan12]

LEts hope my balls drop so I can quit being such a coward.

I don't give 2 shits about their twitter fight, but my best guess is that Shaq wouldn't have been too thrilled if studio guys were blasting him on twitter every night when he was missing ft after ft.

He did get blasted for missing free throws.

Trolled and made fun of to the point of video segments or just people talking game?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Bulls have nothing to bitch about.
Wasn't a great call, but they've had plenty go their way.
Booker misses 3rd though.
OT

Lemme guess, 90s Bulls? Showtime Lakers?

Well, to be fair, social media wasn't anywhere close to what it is now. I imagine there'd have been plenty of that if it had been. But yeah, he was made fun of. For one, because he had arguably the ugliest shooting form in history.

Ever see Barkley hit a golf ball? Shag's free throw form made Barkley's golf swing look like prime Tiger Woods.
