Sat, 1/29 Heat vs TOR 8:00 PM

[KingDavid]

Craptors shld be ashamed of themselves. It took them 3 OT's to beat a team on the tail end of a B-2-B, including 3 gm's in 4 nights. And they had 2 days rest

Loved our fight. Fresh bodies would've handled them in the 4th when we stepped up our energy! Dunno how we had the legs to keep it close & even shot to win for an extra 3 OT's.

I find it hilarious about anyone using the tired excuse here when our starters just set the NBA record for minutes in a game. Our team consists of 5 players mainly who have been run into the ground all year and are at the top of the NBA in MPG.

Also, you guys need to play Yurtseven and try Bam at PF for stretches. Dedmond has torched us in his limited minutes for a reason. Our Achilles heel is a big center and I'm sure Yurtseven would have abused us downlow on the boards. You guys can play zone in those limited stretches if there is no good matchup for Yurtseven. Just weird to not even try different lineups with a player who was great during a big stretch.

Lmfao welcome to the Spoelstra show!

I'm not so sure.

Their length and size are bothersome to our small lineups, much like Cleveland.

We'll see, though. Assuming everyone will be healthy for the playoffs, I'm willing to hold off all judgement until our Big 4 get more games under their belt.

Regular season games are often the victim of generic gameplans (especially on a back to back). I'm fully confident that when we're running a playoff operation with prep and gameplanning focused on the opponent we will have the arsenal to make quick work of the Raptors in a number of ways.

They can't play half court offense. They play Precious Achiuwa big minutes at center. They can be exploited in a lot of ways.

Yes Precious is a center but no he probably doesn't sniff the floor for more than 8 minutes a game especially if it's a playoff situation.

The likely scenario is that Pascal Siakam plays 46 minutes a game vs his current 38 minutes a game. In a 7 game series...that's going to take its toll.

Sounds good to me

If it makes you sleep better.

How long you been watching basketball for!

As a sports bettor situational spots factor in backing particular teams. There has always been value fading teams playing 2nd gm of back-2-back where winning percentage decreases to something like 44%, even if that team is more superior than their opponents. That % decreases further for teams playing tail end of back-to-back nearing end of the season especially. Factor in playing 3 of 4 nights & it drops even more. In an article in 2009 it stated Denver Nuggets were 34-10 (.773%) when not playing back-to-back games and only 17-21 (.447%) when they played back-to-back games. There has been a significant increase in back-to-backs since. Diff results for diff teams/situations etc. but you get the gist.

Last night Raptors were +3.5ATS vs Miami. I backed Toronto according history in this spot & Miami's situation & profited.

I'll say it again. You shld be embarrassed it took 3ot's to win & by just 2 baskets

Don't be concerned about what you think our team shld be doing. Go spend even more energy about what your team can do to get above 8th spot. We sittin' ok top of the east atm
