Yeah let's put James Johnson on the PG of the team.

Just wasted 5 crucial seconds because Johnson wasn't fast enough to foul Jones.

On the bright side, the right guy eventually went to the line.

Heat with shot to win or tie

This final spot still may come down to the Heat/Nets last game of the season.

Brooklyn with road games vs Milwaukee and Indiana before that game vs Miami.

Miami in Toronto and home to philly before heading to brooklyn.

Damn good chance both teams don't win a game before then

Sucks for Wade, but it is what it is.
Losing at home to Magic and now current 3 game losing streak isn’t a path of momentum to face the Bucks.

Spo is usually very good in those situations.
My guess is he sure didn’t draw up what we saw executed.

Good assumption considering how long Dragic took to inbound the ball, i would agree.

Maybe if James Johnson didn't waste 5 seconds trying to foul Jones then maybe we would run something different

Still 4+ seconds is plenty of time.
I thought look for a 2, or take an open 3.
Neither happened.
Wade wasn’t giving the ball up.

Wade and Dragic were trash 2nd half.
That can’t happen.

Playing a competitive game isn't the same as meaningful. Nothing matters but the playoffs and it looks the Heat could be playing as many truly meaningful games than the Cavs LOL but if you do play "meaningful" games you will be getting swept by the Bucks. Again, Congrats on this great feat

You're battling the Knicks to determine who's getting the worst record in the East. Might want to sit this one out.

Theres only one champion, and basically never more then a handful of teams each year that even have a realistic chance.

Seasons are 7 months long.

No players on the court want to lose.

Fans that pay hard earned money dont want to go the arena to see a nightly shit show.

Sponsor, advertises dont want a shit show.

True fans that watch nightly on TV dont want a shit show.


How many teams have won championships by virtue of sucking season after season after season?

You're going to be waiting a while for this one, my friend. Outside of the Warriors, I can't recall. And the Warriors were lucky that they caught Curry on a team-friendly deal due to his ankle injuries early on in his career. His work ethic catapulted him from being a good player to one of the top players in the NBA. They also struck gold on Draymond. But not many teams go from being in the lotto consistently to NBA contender overnight.

Well, recently the Cavs and Warriors

Warriors got it right with new ownership and management.

Cavs had arguably the greatest player of all-time to bridge everything together.

These are outliers, my friend.

Of course. Hence why I said "rare situation".
Let's not forget about the way it worked out so they could also add Durant.
