ATL - Embiid Out for the Season

Heat fans are starting to turn on Spo and some want him gone. I'd gladly take him over Doc if that ever became reality.

Are we already at the annual Flip Murray portion of the season?

The Wolves are hard to figure out. Win 8 in a row, then lose to the Pels and depleted Pacers at home.

The Pacers are on an absolute heater of pulling off some end of game bs to steal wins.

AJ gets his first start for the Wizards. Love that.

We may end up starting the playoffs in Indy. And hearing those damn piped in race car sounds.

I think I’d rather fall to #6 in that case. Take our chances against Thibs.

Don't know about anyone else but I don't need nightly AJ updates. They just piss me off.

Given that I think we only have a second round ceiling, sending home Urkel and the rest of the Pacers would at least feel like a nice consolation prize after a rough couple year stretch. Losing to those guys in round 1 would be rather devastating though. I'm torn.

Good line for AJ too. 5-9, 12 pts, 4:1 ast/to ratio, +7.

The Wiz are hardcore tanking though. They don't even have Sarr in down the stretch. Left Midds out when it wasn't a back-to-back. Not playing Holmes & barely are Smart. The Jazz did it to them prior. NBA has to give best lotto odds to top non playoff teams.

You'll just have tanking at the bottom of the lotto.

No team would tank if only the 12 best teams in the NBA made the playoffs, top 4 got a bye, 5-12 played each other in the 1st rd, & then the top non playoff teams got the best odds. Winning would be incentivized across the board.

The Heat don't have a coaching issue, but coaches always get blamed when a team disappoints. Sometimes it's deserved. Not in this case though.

Fans are fanatical. What's Spoeslstra supposed to do with that group? He hasn't forgotten how to coach overnight.
