Miami got no quit. Spo is a great coach getting this roster to play like this.

I’m normally not one to claim favoritism to one team, but based on what I’ve been seeing tonight, Miami has had so many beneficial calls and it’s annoying as a fan to see.

what a pointless challenge.
Abolish the draft. Abolish the rookie scale. Make teams try to win.

Ref crew has been atrocious tonight, all in the Heat's favor.

The ball was loose when the whistle blew. So no imminent possession.
