Tony Brothers is a road friendly ref.

Nice choice Mavs were the home team

Last game of the season and hopeful for an L, don’t know the last time that’s ever happened.

Good vibes only on here tonight!

What if we look at it from another perspective? Everyone keeps saying the Bucks are a nightmare matchup for us... but we're also a nightmare matchup for them.

There's no one else in the league who's better suited to slow down Giannis Antetokounmpo than Bam Edrice Adebayo. The Heat will have to play big and start Kevin Love at the 5 to match Lopez. Hayward Highrise can really contribute here also.

Jimmy Butler can make life absolutely miserable for Kris Middleton. You can throw Caleb on him too.

Between Kyle Lowry and Victor Oladipo, if they step up, we can really make life difficult for Jrue Holiday.

Win tonight against the Bulls, win either of the first 2 in Milwaukee, and it's anyone's series.

I believe.

The Bucks demolished us in 21' due to their incredible (and unsustainable) three point shooting. That's unlikely to happen again. Game 1 of that series is more in line with what should be expected if we get into a series with them presently.

Morale is at an all-time low due to our loss against the Hawks.. but that's what happens in 1 game series - literally anything can happen. Players don't play as expected in these situations because there wasn't a feel it out process prior - the way there is during a regular playoff series. It's why I said, it's essentially a game 7 without either team being in the gauntlet together for 6 games prior.

That Atlanta game is no indication of how a series against Milwaukee would go.

Losing tonight would mean we just wasted an all-nba season from Jimmy Butler. Let him get to the playoffs and see what we can do. All it takes is one injury, or one player to get hot and the entire series can change direction.

If this was The Walking Dead, ya'll would be the ones staying in the CDC at the end of season 1 (won't ruin it for people who haven't seen it). All I want is a chance. Lol

Heat win tonight, and then go out and make the lives of the Milwaukee Bucks a living hell.

Strus and Gabe are playing for a big day. All they need to do is shine for the next several games. You know they will.

Keep in mind Bam could home Giannis scoreless for the entire series but none of that would matter to the fans if he didn’t also average 40

It's not in itself. But combined with all the bad losses this season, the negative point differential, etc...it all adds up to we just aren't good lol.
