Edging close and closer to the 6th seed. We're also now 3 games out of the play in tourney and 3 games out of 2nd place. I feel like the play in is far more likely.

You can't give them a chance to win the game. You always go up 3 and deal with the tie unless there's under a second left.

That was one of the more embarrassing losses I can remember. Jrue was terrible. 8 missed ft's in the fourth, no defense in the third. Yikes.

Fox has costed the Kings so many times in close games this season it's not even funny.

Monte Morris is really skilled. Hes just missing athleticism, explosiveness and dynamism to be an allstar. But hes about as good as a backup guard as you can ask for.

The refs in the Kings/Nuggets game are absolutely pathetic.

Jokic just knocked Fox on his ass and they don't call it. But when Jokic lowers his shoulder into Sabonis he gets a call. Hilarious.

In what world is this Fox's fault? Jokic put him on his ass and he didnt get the call. What else can he do?

Why was he attempting to go under the screen? He was supposed to close out on the 3point shot.

I take the chance of a second going off the clock for the rebound, and then a full court heave. Every time, without question.

To each his own.

Bucks are not going to repeat sadly. I honestly don't see any team taking 4 of 7 from a healthy Nets team for that matter actually..

Comes back, has a MONSTER game against the best team in basketball,

Let that sink in.

Who wouldn't play well when only having to work 50% of the time?

Bro are you serious? Lol He spent the last year playing video games lol He is easily 3-4 weeks away from being in NBA shape.

First of all - no he wasn’t. He was participating in the practices at home. Secondly, what kind of dumbass excuse is that. He wasn’t injured, and he’s like 25 (maybe younger?). He should be in shape, and even if he wasn’t — he could play into shape, like many players do to start the season. Nets are barely in the playoffs rn, suit up

He is Ben Simmons. The guy who claimed mental illness to be away from the team and streamed video games for 10 months straight.

He SHOULD be in shape, but we are talking about Ben Simmons here who acts like and IS a child. You cant expect something different.

Tell me you don't watch Heat games without telling me you don't watch Heat games.

Or maybe you think we deserve less?

FTAs
Heat: 20.9 (21st overall)
Opp: 22.4 (7th overall)
Diff: -1.5

And we've had plenty of games where our opponents shot twice as many FTs as us and we lost by only a few pts. Sht, we even WON games where opponents shot twice as many FTs as us.

It's bad enough the #1 seed in the East barely gets any recognition on this board, but it's even worse when the only recognition is casuals crying about fouls without doing a minute of research.

Lol. Funny how you think that's how playing against professionals work.

I'll let you think that was clever though.

Wah wah wah not everyone watches my team. Quit crying, you gonna pretend like you watch every other teams games too? :noway:

Your team barely scraped by a bad team missing half their starters and only all-star. :lol:

Lol. I don't think you know anything about competing professionally in a physical sport. And that's ok, champ.

Loved watching the Hawks embarrass the Raptors tonight. Finally the Raptors didn't play us on the tail end of a back to back or missing Trae Young. We beat them down like dogs tonight without our second best player out hurt. Good win for the real good guys.

Kyrie really is something else. I mean this season is pretty much going to be ideal for him, he's going to be able to play home games soon and he's going to be entering the playoffs without much wear and tear on him from the season.

Curious how they use Ben, but if they use him right, this team is scary good. Because ya they're going to have 3 legit All NBA talents to go with a team with a good amount of depth as well.

Who wins?
