Wed Mar 15, Memphis visits Miami. 7:30 PM. 

Post#1 » by gom » Tue Mar 14, 2023 8:17 am

We barely scraped past Utah and arguably have not found consistent form since early February. The last couple weeks have been hard too watch. Also, Memphis is a very good team, even without Ja Morant. Tyus Jones is an excellent backup and regularly torches the Heat.

Image

This game is going to be tough.

Historic record:

Miami 28-24 Grizzlies
Miami 20-22 vs Memphis Grizzlies.
Including 12-9 at home versus 8-13 as a visitor.
Miami has lost 5 of the last 6 games, including 2 at home.
Miami has lost its last against the grizzlies. 3 game wins is their longest streak. Done twice.
Miami’s longest streak is 5 games.

Image

It's an important game to win too. Here are the remaining games for the teams that are competing for slots 5-8. I've dropped the Wizards and Raptors:

Let's be honest here, we're not getting to 5th seed.

So if we're fighting to get to 6th seed, AT BEST, do we really feel we have a chance Vs the Sixers without HCA?


Because if you're predicting an embarrassing sweep, you might as well hope we miss the playoffs completely. Maximize our draft pick, hope for some lottery luck.

Worst case is NOT missing the playoffs,
Worst case is actually getting blown out in the first round and getting a chitty pick in the draft that won't help us going forward.

The lottery is used to determine the order of the top selections, usually the first few picks in the draft. The teams with the worst records from the previous season are given the best odds of winning the lottery, meaning they have a higher chance of obtaining the top picks.

If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

Honestly that’s the best case scenario. That will force accountability this offseason, something that has been missing here from the top to the bottom. That will force real change and a dead reckoning this summer.

the only success we can achieve this season is to keep on losing and get a semi decent pick in the draft, that is all.
