Any other guys in their mid 30's grow up dreaming about topanga?

Also, I can't believe Heat/Lakers isn't on ESPN.

It was so weird that she was portrayed as the "ugly girl" early on.

Dude, I had the biggest crush on Harley Keiner's sister, when she appeared in one episode. She was smoking!

Heat @ Lakers.

We're on the second night of a back to back after facing the suns. We will get torched tonight by the Lakers.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. We're prone to slow starts and that Heat defense could pose some challenges. What's the word on Winslow?

Read on Twitter


Doubt he plays today. We're pretty much outmatched here. A win against the Lakers would be impressive, though. I predict KCP lights up for 40. It's gonna be that type of night for the Heat. :lol:

Excited either way! Let's go Heat! :starwars

Miami is the most well conditioned team in the NBA. I don’t think this being a back to back will matter much. I think I actually favor them tonight over the Lakers. These slow starts are going to catch up with them.

Curious to get a look at Nunn. Good matchup to see if the Heat’s effort can counter the Lakers size.

This seems like a game the Lakers will lose honestly

There are a bunch of compelling matchups tonight--Lebron vs. Butler, Embiid vs. Jokic, AD vs. Meyers Leonard (jk), and Dame vs. Kyrie tonight in a battle of the best surviving point guards.

Ben Simmons is out with a sprained shoulder vs. Denver. He's pretty much both the straw and the ice cubes for the Sixers' offense.

I'm also curious to see if and how the Jazz guard Giannis.

Thank god Nets vs Blazers aren't on NBATV. Definitely watching that one tonight. Duke, Pels, Nets/Blazers. Good night of basketball for me tonight, followed by Zabit tomorrow morning. Great start to the weekend for sports.

We are a well condition team, but injuries are really holding us back yet we’re still a top 2 seed right now. Definitely could’ve used Winslow for defense tonight.

LeBron and AD are obviously gonna get theirs just hoping some random player on the lakers bench doesn’t go off.

Today's Mavs game against the Knicks has all the makings of a game where the Mavs somehow lose despite the Knicks' slow start to the season, Robinson being out etc. Hopefully the Mavs' players don't underestimate the Knicks...

Too many interesting matchups. This is definitely a League Pass quad view night!
