Calves @ Heat, Miami-Dade Arena, Wed, Mar 8, 2023, 7:30 PM ET 

Post#1 » by gom » Wed Mar 8, 2023 3:53 am

Before we begin, I want to acknowledge I am still grateful to Cleveland for returning Wade to us for basically nothing.

Image

Cleveland is a great team this season. They are 6-4 over the last 10 games. We (by contrast) are 4-6.

76ers beat them just before the allstar game.
Nuggets beat them after allstar break.
They lost to the Hawks the next night on a back-to-back.
They beat the Raptors at home on 2/26. Mitchell was 8/12 from beyond the arc and made 35 pts. Garland was +39 and had 11 assists.
They lost to the Celtics in Boston in a hotly contested game, got an extra night of rest and thrashed the Pistons.
Yesterday they beat Boston. Mitchell got 40 (8 for 8 at the free throw line) and Garland 12 assists.

Image

Historical Record:

Miami 75-49 in the regular season.
We comfortably hold the advantage against them, but they are better recently. We are 1-1 this season and 1-2 last season.
Altogether, we are 48-14 hosting the game in Miami.
Cleveland won the first 9 games against us. We were 1-9 from 2007 through end of 2009-2010. Miami had the longest streak at 11 games. We had two 8-game winning streaks and a 6-game winning streak to boot.

We've never played them in the playoffs.

Zero faith in this team but I believe in GOM.

Anything from a blowout W to a blowout L looks possible, I have zero expectations.

Well, ive almost completed my team diagnosis.
There's things to improve, according to my hypothesis:

Bam's fine. Add a three ball to become elite.

Jimmy needs to start sprinting all the way soon.

Herro needs to change his shot selection or end up ineffective.

Shooters need to spam the three.

This is all I can do.

It’s a good start, to be sure, but I won’t be satisfied until we get here:

I appreciate music talent such as the one on top. Everything and everyone is real. The improvisation reminds me of the ‘Son Montuno’ Cuban groups that many of their music is 100% improvised with real musicians. It sure beats the digital era of late, where many of the music is a digital loop and fake vocals.

Very nice!
