I knew the Mavs would be tough. Heat down 1 heading to halftime.

Sun Sentinel Miami Heat beat writer, Ira Winderman joined the Big O Show on 560 WQAM to discuss the Heat winning 16 of their last 18 games. Ira says this team is playing with a hungry heart. Big O and Ira also talk about a possible playoff push, a turnaround in the play of Hassan Whiteside and Erik Spoelstra being a candidate for NBA Coach of the Year.

On a playoff push- “There’s no question this team could be positioned around number five. The Heat are right there. This is legitimate. I hate this ‘championship or misery’ mantra. This team still needs a makeover in the off season.”

On Hassan Whiteside- “If he gets the win is more important than the stat, that’s a huge step.”

On the surprises of the season- “It’s safe to say the Miami Heat you’re seeing today won’t be the same team you’ll see next season but there’s nothing wrong with living in the moment. I think this is more fun than the Big 3 teams. The pressure was always there, it was never fun. It was expected.”

On Spoelstra for Coach of the Year- “I understand where people are coming from. Coach of the Year is about the entire season. If Erik Spoelstra is not Eastern Conference Coach of the Month, I want a recount. I’ve heard very few players complain about Erik Spoelstra. His players respect him. In this sport you have to win over your players.”

Raptor need to give him a look.

They are about to lose to the Knicks.

Nevermind...Knicks choked.

Damn, I knew I should've taken the points with the Knicks. Silly me took them to win straight up. I was almost right, but almost gets you nothing. :L

Melo missed a 3 for the win.

They led by 15 or so at one point. Very disappointing that they blew this one against a team missing their star PG and playing the second game of a back-to-back. At least the Hawks are going to win for me.

He has both Texas teams, Boston and Cavs on his list.

Please go to the East, but not the Cavs. Will Bogut get the Durant treatment if he joins the Cavs? Joining the team that beat him. How would all the Cavs fans who criticized Durant feel about that?

Geez, why do the Pacers suck? They have Turner, Teague and PG13. They shouldn't be getting pummeled like this.
