Game Thread – Heat @ Celtics – Wed. 7:30PM, April 2, 2025

via @JackSimoneNBA:

Erik Spoelstra on what he told the three Celtics on Team USA this summer (Q: @RealBobManning):

"I mentioned to all of the Celtics from that summer, I hated myself for liking them. And then I hated myself for admitting it even more."

[ConstableGeneva]

So in a span of about 24 hours, Joe won CotM, JD won GLeague MVP, Holiday and Horford were nominated for Sportsmanship and Teammate of the Year Awards. Maybe they don't hate the Celtics/Boston. They just hate Tatum. Still pissed about the PotM snub. The award's meaningless. Just pisses me off regardless. Plus he didn't even edge out Giannis in the recent ESPN straw poll for the 3rd spot for MVP. Wild. The Bucks don't even have homecourt in the 1st round and could be headed for another 1st round exit.

Walsh and the Maine guys are also OUT (G-League playoffs).

Wiggins, Love, Jovic, Dru Smith, and Robinson are all OUT for Miami, per injury report.

Peterson and Davison are now QUESTIONABLE for this game. Odd that Walsh remains OUT.

Peterson and Davison have been upgraded to AVAILABLE. Norris and Walsh remain OUT. No change in status for the main rotation guys, per latest IR.

Newly shaved JB is AVAILABLE to play. Holiday, Horford, and Porzingis are OUT.

He might be available, but I still want him on extended R&R.

Making thread titles about the heat was pretty easy a few years ago but we play these dudes every 3 days and I am running out of ideas lol. Hopefully we don't get them in the playoffs, I really don't think I have 4-7 more heat puns in me this season haha.

If there's ever a fight or other anger, you can pun on 'I've got steam heat, but that don't do no good". (The song Steam Heat used to be famous.)

If you're straining, you can flip In The Heat of the Night to It Wasn't the Night of the Heat.

Also with the 1950s musicals, you could go with PlayerName Was Too Darn Hot. (Definitely look up the Ann Miller video for that one.)

It it's a blowout, the Heat Don't Turn Up

I really hope we get the Heat in the playoffs. There's nobody I like beating more than that miserable franchise.

Love JB’s fresh new cut but unfortunately he’s thinning

[Parliament10]

Kornet, the Best 3rd Center in the League.

[Bar Fight]

JB blatantly playing for all-NBA votes is kinda off putting

White, Tatum, and Kornet doing their thing. JB just dances to the beat of his own drum.
