Lmao

Rondo the Prince of Petty.

Some of the comments are spot on like
I still think that Stephens was incredible to get them out of the gate so well. But they still are a flawed team.

This Wade acquisition will be a disaster due to the retard we have at coach.

Wade took 4 of the final 6 shots after coming back in the game with 3 minutes left.

Richardson, Dragic, and Whiteside took none

I don't watch a lot of Heat basketball. But I'm curious to hear your explanation for the massive discrepancy in rebounds, particularly the Sixers 25 or offensive rebounds.

Is that just a really bad night? The Heat are a defensive focused team, no?

These fuckin' Warriors. They probably have enough to win it this year, but I'm increasingly convinced the complacency is just too much to win yet again next year.

Rondo is a bitch. Him and Pierce are reminded me why I couldn't stand that group. Ray was the only one I could deal with

Pretty shocking. Definitely just a bad night. Really no explanation for anything that happened tonight. Just a team in a major funk. Need to wake up fast

Hoping if the Heat make the playoffs as a bottom 3 seed, that is the team we face. The only teams I think we can beat in a series are Boston and Milwaukee.

Yeah. That is by far the most surprising part of the game. No way that I thought that an Embiidless Sixers would have a 2-1 rebound advantage on the Heat much less 25+ offensive rebounds.

That many offensive rebounds does suggest that the Heat were a tired team.

Garnett?

 

[bksballer89]

Garnett?

Nope. Kinda liked him when he was on Minnesota. Didn't care for him once he went to Boston. Always thought he was a bully and picked on players he knew wouldn't do shit.I was the happiest person when Anthony Peeler put hands on him.

This Warriors game is good. One of those rare weeknight late night regular season games that will force me to stay up and head to work on 4-5 hours of sleep

It also helps that Bill Walton is there to go on tangents that take us to the Land of Oz and back.

Raptors lead the East by 2 games

Oh shit. It's a zombie Raptors fan back from the dead! I remember you back when this board's NBA section was just the Raptors fans, a couple of Warriors fans, and myself. What a shame that Hammer banned you guys in a hissy fit right as your team was getting good.

What a waste of an epic night from KD. These guys....

The good news is its the all star break! They'll come back refreshed and be ready to go.*


*Not likely. They'll dick around until the 1st round of the playoffs and wake up when they lose a game

Probably so, but that's playing with fire/tempting fate/whatever. Not a great look defending a title.

Spoelstra is such a bad coach. Guy is going through Wade in late game situations like this 2010

I'm starting to flip flop on Spoelstra as well.

The 3rd quarter struggles are a consistent theme with this team that's been going on for years now. Last night was a microcosm of our season. If we had consistent play into the 2nd half of games, we'd probably be a top 4 team in the East. It's costed us at least 5-7 games that I can recall.

Lost to Toronto the night before.

Fultz warming up last night.

Yep and I'm so sick of the blown leads usually due to getting embarrassed in the 3rd quarter.
