The cat isn't supposed to let the mouse get away.

In this case the cat was smart.
1. Why risk injury when playoff position locked in? I think any team(s) locked in will be a bench show from here on in.

2. I read if Heat loses their last 2 games ( yesterday was 1), it can potentially improve their lotto chances up to 6 spots higher.

3. Heat didnt intentionally lose, but had bench players on the court, other than Herro. Lost in the final seconds. Players always play to win.

Yup. Only 1 starter played more than 15 minutes. Most importantly the Heat looked really well with the likely playoffs rotation

You think U.D. starts tomorrow?
Could be his last time on court, ever.

Yes Sir!
With him its all earned, nothing given.
The Heat has a shooting drill where you take 100 3’s. Duncan said he once made 93/100 and its not uncommon for him to be in the high 80’s.

All the top shooters in the NBA shoot that well.

That is good, but it isn’t anything special.

I hope we get Blazers/Suns for the Western Conference play in game.

Dame vs. Devin should be epic.

If we get that...Imma tailgate for that game in my driveway. lol

A Sixers 1st round exit might be the end of Brett Brown.
Which could be a good thing.

I don't know.

There is a certain amount of disdain that Philly/Boston has between one another, so yeah, a Sixers series win is possible, but without Simmons, not too likely. I don't know if Brown is coaching for his job in this one. It's hard to gauge this season. Can't blame injuries.

I personally think his time is up.
We need to try something different.
The hard part is that who would be a better option to coach this team right now?

We are locked into getting the OKC pick, so there's that.
But, not too many late picks are going to swing the balance of power.

Really?
How many of those top shooters can make 90+% of their FT’s, let alone 3’s?

Your list of better shooters in the NBA then Duncan are?

His sample size now is legit.

Another great story, and another player who went from going un drafted to ( my guess) a 20M/year player next summer.

Skip bayless is a moron. This why i prefer first take.

He somehow found fault in Dame 61 point game and basically said he isn't clutch
Yeah...I mean, I get guys like him (and stephen A) have their schtick to just try and piss people off and be controversial to get ratings....but no need to be that off the rails.
