I like the choice of the black and gray logo.

I believe we have a more talented team and should win this as long as our effort is there. I've heard a few people say that the Heat are similar to us, however I don't see it. They play hard sure, but I believe they are doing well because they have a lot of unknown guys who haven't been scouted properly yet. Once the scouting report comes back their guys are going to struggle. It's not like our team where our rotation players have been in this league for a bit. We are winning because Monty Williams knows our players strengths and puts them in a position to succeed.

I got us winning 118-104. Hoping Booker scores 40 just for laughs and giggles.

And luckily our guys get two and a half days at home to prepare.

I am guessing we put Saric on Leonard and Baynes on Bam.

This one is going to be interesting. Anyway I think that our record is more valuable as we've had way more difficult games than the Heat. They are winning by surprise, we are winning due to good coaching, good basketball and mature plays.

We got this by 20. 120 - 100, they will have something to say during the 1st quarter and the 3rd, rest of the game easy.

I wish they didn't lose to Denver by 20+. They will be more aggressive after that loss.

I am a little worried for this guy to hit 25 threes in a row on us.




Need Baynes to drill at least 6 threes this game. Last year he made 21 3's all season, and he's currently at 15 so far for this year.

Is so nice to watch all games of the other west oponents and cheer for the east coast teams so we can get to the playoffs.
Yesterday Atlanta vs San Antonio, was fun, watch Trae Young play is amazing tbh.

I agree with a lot of that. I think their schedule has been easy, and they're a decent team that can put together a great game if it all clicks.
Phx 114-106.

First one has a face of an ugly fat girl, but the body of Salma Hayek, quite the stark contrast.

Second one is your typical good looking girl who got a pair bolted on.

The fourth one, Asian hottie, I'm a sucker for the Asian!

That's exactly what I was thinking last night. Doesn't seem like a team that will take a game lightly at all after a loss like that.

We certainly have good coaching, but Spoelstra is one of the best. If anyone is surprising people of the two teams, it's us. They've been in the playoffs for years.

I don't think the heat are the type of team to take any game lightly. They'll play good D and give good effort most nights. Now the suns have also play with good effort and discipline so should be a good game. Probably comes down to who gets hotter from 3.

Of course. Spo is to me one of the best coaches in the league. What I mean is, they've been in the playoffs for years, but not thanks to bam adebayo, meyers leonard, justise winslow, kendrick nunn, duncan robinson and tyler herro.

Yeh, honestly, idk....I haven't seen them play this year....but I think there's a bit of fool's gold going on with that team. I've never been a big Butler fan, and Goran is getting long in the tooth, and players like Winslow are limited.

I think their schedule has been favorable, and they've been overachieving. Good for them, they may make a playoff push, but I think we'll handle them. Again I have to see them play though.

But don't understimate those guys. Winslow is everything we wanted Josh to be and more....running PG, superior defender, Nunn the 3rd or 4th best rookie, and Bam playing tough. If Ayton plays like him this year I'll be happy....of course I'd prefer he play better, but we'll see.

Leonard a surprise though. But a solid vet bench with Dragic, Waiters, Olynyk, etc, along with their star, Butler of course, who will really hound Book all night long.

They are second in the league in free throw attempts and I think everyone is aware of how many attempts our opinions get. Might be an issue here.

I really like their wing and guard depth but question their bigs. I guess the same could be said for us without baynes.
