If the wolves don't make it this year. Contraction needs to be discussed.

That would really suck, I like their chances to make it though.

Cavs down 13 entering the 4th quarter to the Hawks.....

Amazing how much better the Heat look when Tyler and Ellington show up.

Sorry @Mecca

 

[Bolts]

Wow the Cavs really suck

 

[Heatles84]

Why can't the Heat play like this consistently?

Holy crap.....losing to the Hawks just seems inexcusable.

Has a lot to due with inconsistent play from the bench. Tyler and Ellington been really bad this year

I'm down. Notre Dame will be the best team Miami faces all season long until they play Clemson in the ACC title game.

Should be a close one. I don't really trust ND in true road games even though they did dominate a damn good MSU team a few weeks ago. They didn't look that good against UNC and BC on the road for a half

Notre Dame is definitely a test. The true match up I want to see is Miami's D-line against Notre Dame's stout offensive line. The domers have the Cowboys equivalent of an o-line. They just bludgeon you to death with the run and wear you down. Key to Miami winning this game is the offense scoring early and forcing ND to throw the ball. Once QBs go back to pass, it's a death sentence.

They don't take basketball seriously. It is the only possible excuse for this. They beat the 3 good teams they played this year so I'm starting to think this is the reason behind all these shocking losses this year.

Game isn't over though. Hawks trying to give it away. Up 6 with 1:19 left

And at home, sad.

Well, I'm happy about it.

There's no excuse for a finals caliber team to have this many bad/surprising losses 10 games in.

I'm with you. Doesn't make sense. But to see them beat teams like Boston, Washington, and Milwaukee while losing to these other bad teams especially at home makes me think they're not taking basketball seriously

Heat 25 point lead is down to 14 in just over 3 minutes

Wouldn't surprise me, but I'm not sure if flipping the switch and dominating in the playoffs is gonna be as easy this season compared to the last 2-3 years. Gonna need IT healthy to help the offensive end.

 

[Heatles84]

Ok, so this giving up leads is still a thing apparently

 

[Bolts]

Sounds like something that'd happen to the Kings if they were able to get 25 point leads....or any lead over 10 points.

 

[Bolts]

Hawks lead down to 2

 

[bksballer89]

What a disaster
