In regards to the Heat-Celtics game last night, it boosted my confidence even more in Miami being the dark horse out East.

And maybe they have more chance to beat the Bucks that the Raptors....I can be wrong on that but I think the Bucks are a better matchup for the Heat that the Raptors.So maybe this is better for Miami to stay in 4th seed.

I'm not so sure about that, but what I will say is that the Heat have the better 1-on-1 defender on Giannis in the form of Bam Adebayo.

It'll be a close game if the Celtics aren't motivated, which could happen, but it's still never interesting to see games like that!

So the Grayson Allen revenge game. Jazz should win this one, but hey, I'm biased.

Jazz doing a good job of spreading their turnovers around. Seven players with 1 TO a piece.

Jazz haven't been good at these early games. Everyone looks like they need a double espresso.

Jazz are also brilliantly moving into the 6 seed and moving up to #20 in the draft order.
