Pat Riley deserves some accolades after being able to turn the Heat around so quickly after James left.

He's old and will go out a loser.

Man that was fun.

I only enjoy watching playoffs blowouts when my team is handing out the blowout lol

Yeah, SVG has his work cut out for him with that. One positive though is that they nearly won with Drummond looking lost and it's doubtful he plays that poorly all series.

Giving Stanley some burn when Tobias Harris is struggling would be a positive change.

I get that some Coaches are anti-Rookie.

But, Johnson looked good in limited minutes, Tobias was awful.

So far, only the Raptors have stumbled....

* prays that trend continues thru the Clippers game *

Now I don't watch games night in and night out consistently so my opinion isn't super credible but...

I've been saying for some time now if Heat didn't lose Bosh they would win the East. Since the All Star break its seems like they have really figured out how to play together. Ironically though this has been without Bosh. But I think adding him would obviously just help and not disrupt

I'm saying they will get there now.

Might be my heart talking.

But, they are good enough to beat anyone on any given day.

O yeah, they definitely have the talent/personnel to do it. But I think the Cavs have more room for error which is why I'd still lean them in a series.

With Bosh I think I'd put cash on Heat.

i gotta hand it to you....if my team had the biggest choke job of the NBA regular season on the very last game of the year i would have a very difficult time spinning it. lol...the fact that you have the audacity to do so- and the fact that you probably even BELIEVE it- makes me think that Trump could hire no better consultant.

If you can spin the biggest collapse in the NBA out of all 30 teams - out of the literally HUNDREDS of games played, if you can spin a 5 pt quarter as a positive...the Donald should sign you up and start having his mail forwarded to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

In general, without a doubt.
I'm not sure though, if we can play much better.

Apparently someone didn't get the humor in that.

I agree. Charlotte is by no means out of this series. Miami won the game they were supposed to win. However, there's nothing more deflating than coming out saying you want a specific team, then get your doors blown off by said team.

21 points and 11 rebounds in his first playoff game. Safe to say that he did pretty decent.

Nope everyone expects Charlotte to play better on Wednesday. We'll see what happens.

I'll feel much better about this series if we win game 2 as well

I think we're better then Charlotte, but obviously not that much better.
I expect a much closer game Wednedsay, but it's a game we have to win.
If not, then tonight's performance means nothing.

Yep. If we win Game 2, I actually think we'll win in 5
