CAVALIERS at HEAT - Saturday, April 3 8:00 PM

[MettaWorldPanda]

Looks like he said one of the magic words to the female ref. Was not happy about previous blocking call.

Got it. It went from tough call, to hit the ball away from his face, to the showers all kinds if quick.

Nope, I think he punched the ball in the general direction of that ref, who took exception to it. Seemed harmless enough on TV, but who knows how it felt on the floor when you think a punched ball is coming right at you.

You guys got a baller in Sexton though. Dude does not have any quit in him!

That’s right he did do something with the ball but was probably also being a little mouthy after what he deemed a poor call with the blocking foul. Game was almost over so just an early trip to showers.

Another win, although the Cavs really suck. GG OP!! The next 5 games are going to be a real test for this Heat team.

Just out of curiosity, what would you guys trade for Sexton? I'm legitimately curious as to his value around the league.

You guys have any more info on the Garland ejection than what was on TV?

What I saw was that Garland, who was upset, knocked the ball away and it had the misfortune of being in the direction of the referee who called a tech 2. In any case, Cavs really impressed me. They are missing their best players in the front court and fought hard. Sexton is a star. Brilliant.

I like Sexton about the same as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. He is a very good player.

I like Sexton a lot, but Miami needs a power forward more. And one reason Miami is a good team is its consistency (like Dragic). Dragic plays so well with Butler and Adebayo. He makes the other players better too.

Also, I disagree with Panda. Garland and Sexton can play together. Give them time!

I thought you all would line Bjeli. Dude is a high IQ player. Kings fans disliked him because if he gets isolated, he can be taken off the dribble but with Bam behind him it’s less of a concern. His 3 point shooting can be streaky. Wait till he settles in and gets on a hot streak from 4 ft behind the 3 point line.

Yeah, he's great! You guys should give Chris Silva a chance though. 4 minutes in 2 games?

I like my backcourts more traditional. Feel like Garland and Sexton are a bit too small for me together. Then you compound that with a smallish SF in Okoro at 6’5. You have 6’1 175, 6’1 190, and 6’5 220. That’s too small imo.

We are trying to make the play-offs but will end up with a late lottery pick instead. Tough being the worst franchise in the last couple decades.

Spoelstra just mentioned Oladipo still hasn't had a practice with the team.

Also, isn't it not seeing Miami having to go to the zone all the time?

Read on Twitter

Likely will have practice after todays game. I think they have two days off now. I think a lot of people think NBA teams practice a lot.

[vanhowell]

4th Win in a row!! Great team effort and chemistry. It’s definitely great seeing everyone contribute and knows their roles in the team.

Let’s get that 4th seed! Let’s Go Heat

why is Nunn not playing?
Spo does this to him too often...

I don't think Miami has the assets to offer anything the Cavs could be interested in; I also don't think Sexton is the type of player Miami would go after, especially given where Miami is currently.

The big issue in finding a valuation for Sexton is that that there are already so many really good point guards in the league. I mean, is Sexton really any better than Terry Rozier, De'Aaron Fox, Malcolm Brogdon, Dennis Schroeder, D'Angelo Russell, or Dajounte Murray?

I don't think Sexton has a franchise-changing skillset but, like the guys listed above, he can be a really effective player on the right team.

Gg and good win. On to the nxt. Hopefully Oladip finds his O

Not bad Bourne...”ladip finds his O”... I can see the headlines

Only so many minutes, should've been expected

He's by far our least appreciated player, he definitely doesn't deserve the yo yo treatment he always gets. It's been obvious to me for awhile that he's not in the team's long term plans.

[twix2500]

Nunn had an ankle injury, he will play. Spo likely has a plan for him. Same with Okpala. Right now they are trying to speed up the implementation process of Oladipo and Ariza.
