Miami has been absolutely dreadful post-Jimmy. They've dropped 8 in a row and are 6-16 since Feb 1st. Technically they are still a Play-In team, currently holding the 10th spot in the East, but they know they aren't playing for anything this season. Despite being 6 up in the L column it's possible that TOR actually catches them. TOR has been playing better recently and 10 of their last 13 games are against Lottery teams. If they manage to go something like 8-5 over that stretch and Miami continues to free fall it could happen.
Regardless, this is a game where we need to stand on business. I don't so much care about our record at this point, I'm happy staying 6th, but as a young team you want to build good habits and see us continue to improve.

and I think GS is 14-1 with Butler.. When the trade was made, all I thought of was that trio and thought they could win it, despite just seeing OKC and their depth. Usually young teams need to have a few upsets in the playoffs it seems before they can finally in.. It took the young Celtics quite a long time, but they were contending in The East with Brown/Tatum and now have that championship DNA, which is why I think they would beat Cleveland.

I'm not superstitious, but I know some are, but lately during the games, I worry about injuries. Even a few games. You see a guy go down and think "Please nooooo - not this year, we're so close to making the playoffs".

National media acting shocked the Heat are up against the Pistons after a quarter. What a time to be alive!

I like Ron being "scrappy", but he's gotta stop taking some of this stuff so personal. It's just a foul. Get up and move on.

We’re not going to lose to a Bam centric Heat team. We only lose to Tyler Herro

Scrappy Doo would be a legit nickname for Ron

This would be a good win, especially with Indy and Orlando down in the 4th.

Heat have been playing hard... not sure how they've played of late but they don't look like a team on an 8 game losing streak.

Duren was walking not getting back on D with 3:08 left in the 3rd quarter completely gassed. Wish JB would have gotten Stew in a minute or two earlier.

This lazy defense and rotations need to get better. Enough with all the reaching.
