Cavs going out sad, let’s hope the bucks do the same. Would hate for the Knicks to just be waiting on us and getting rest while our guys keep getting banged up. Playing Viannis will take its toll on you physically with everything he’s able to get away with, that’s for damn sure

Bucks are big double digit (12.5) faves at home for this game. We are a massive $6.05 underdog. It makes sense as they're fully healthy, at home & they're the #1 seed. They have 3 all stars in Gainis, Jrue & Middleton. While we're missing top 3 scorer Tyler & lesser fact dipo off the bench.

12.5 to me is quite big considering our defense is back to our identity & keeping us highly competitive. I think this may come down to officiating.

He may well be right in the end.....but we've made the #1 seed look like scrubs :lol: We've made them sweat & doubt themselves. not exactly befitting of a #1 seed let alone a championship team.

Cavs is on firesale alert.. they made that trade for Donovan to make a real push, not get bounced in the first round like a bunch of nobodies.

This offseason i see Gobert being available. Paul George and Kawhi being available.. and Mitchell.

Im not sure i want any of them Clipper leftovers.. not unless they take away Robinsons contract.. pg and kawhi are so unreliable..

Pretty crazy. the sweetener would be heat winnin title and embid forcing his way to south beach. That would guarantee a three peat.


Would Embiid make us better? If we shipped we'd probably run it back and play 500 ball again as Jimbo hibernates and Herro and Bam develop lol

It's almost as if the jumbo frontcourt lineup construction that Cleveland and Minnesota committed to only works in the regular season...

Playoffs are a different game.

Was just thinking this too. Especially if MIL also get bounced by Jimmy and the gang.

Still think playing bigger works in the regular season to prevent wear and tear. But ideally you have the roster to mix and match seamlessly.

Seen MJ's flu game, seen Kobe limp back w/ torn achilles to shoot Ft's, i've also seen Kobe shoot w/ his left arm as he torn his right rotator cuff, i saw Isaiah Thomas play on a majorly sprained ankle, i saw Herro shoot a 3 w/ 2 broken fingers, saw Butler give Bucks 56 w/ a sore ass etc etc......Surely Bam can pull out his thumbs & push through his little hamstring injury to give this team a boost on O to help Jimmy & try and take this series against the 1 seed.

Julius Randle re-injures his ankle he is the one guy that gives us fits when we play the Knicks, with him hobbled we could have an easier time facing them, however we need to close out business tonight!!! we cannot let those Knicks get too much rest....

Return to Miami Heat
