Our continued excellence, no-drama winning isn't their forte.

I don't mind flying under the radar. We don't need any extra pressure, will only make the playoff winning sweeter.


Well, it's changing all of a suden, although Ethan Skolnick mentioned Jorge Sedano making the rounds for ESPN this week and he already popped up on today's The Lowe Post. Dangerous loomers comes up.

Were getting there, I think if we make it through this week and take down the Bucks & Sixers, (Feel like we could lose the back to back with the Nets) there's going to be way more talk about the Heat as the clear cut power house in the East.

I'm listing to it right now but it's what I figured why not many are talking about Miami, there's no real headline other then winning, too many little subjects that have created the winning the non heat nba fan would just not care about. If I weren't following Miami I'd probably just skip it, it's just too much little info.

They did bring up something I've wondered why it hadn't been implemented. Why not allow the home advantage teams to PICK their playoff opponent, I'm for it for the 2nd round also it makes fighting for seeding worth even more and makes the regular season even more important for almost all playoff teams.

Uh oh, some outside recognition?!

Looking at games played and the media can’t even use missed games against Bam. They have Draymond currently at 4th for DPOY and he’s played less than Bam. Gobert only played 56 games one of the years he won and literally gets played off the court for not being a versatile defender in the playoffs.

Bam won’t win simply because he doesn’t have the clout as the other guys, let’s be honest. We see it every night, even the haters have to admit he’s top 3 defensively worst case.

No, currently the main issue is the amount of games he missed, if he can stay healthy for the rest of the season his missed games may not be an issue. On the clout, it does come into play with Bam vs Green because both are missing a bunch of games. Another thing that may hurt Bam... Miami's success with him out. Bam's DRTG is 103, Green 101, Gobert 102, Giannis 105.

Warriors have been successful without green though haven’t they? They just ripped off like 9 in a row and I think still have the top defense.

What I’m saying is you can’t have Green at 4 when Bam has played more if you want to have a legit ranking. Regardless of who you think is better the gap isn’t as big as their showing one way or the other

If he stays healthy the rest of the way and isn’t a finalist it’ll be clout related.

I'll be in Miami next week so I'm trying to get tickets to the home game vs the Suns. It says on ticket Master that showing a vaccine card or negative test is a requirement, but that doesn't appear to be part of the Heat's covid policy. Anybody been to any game recently to know if that's true?

So Oladipo is in Sioux Falls today and tomorrow. It would be possible for him to rejoin the team in Milwaukee tomorrow since it's ~500 miles from Sioux Falls and his workout on Wednesday will be "lighter" for some reason.

“I think this will be a better segment for him this time than the last time," Spoelstra said. "There will be three segments. He had a really good workout already there. [Today] will be a really heavy one and then a little bit lighter on Wednesday.

doubt it, and doubt he comes back on the road.

If I had to guess, Houston at home on Monday. Don't think we throw him into the grind that's gonna be that Philly game

No testing/vax card. Mask policy pretty much gone except if you sit near the players (edit: not sure, but I've read that vax card is required, so bring that just in case you sit near the players)

Have fun. :thumbsup:

Thank you! Not vaccinated, so anybody that can confirm the lack of need for a vax card thing, would be much appreciated.

I went to the Charlotte game back in October and I wasn't required to display a vax card or negative test.

Sat in the lower bowl around 20 rows up so I wasn't very close to the floor.

Here ya go: https://www.nba.com/heat/health-and-safety

Nothing required unless you sit in "The Red Zone". In which case:

* You take a different entrance to your seat compared to everyone else
* Mask required
* Vax card / Proof of Negative test required (you can also take a test on-site)

Side note: pretty funny that you can be vaxxed and carry Covid, but they won't care so long as you're vaccinated

Quality version of Oladipo unlocks:

- Fully switchable lineups
- Paint penetration as a cure for moments of stagnant offense
- Additional ballhandler who can create his own offense (limited?) or spot up and space the floor

Think I saw he was shooting 40% from 3 on spot up opportunities?
