Butler will do that for 4 quarters in the playoffs.

Im glad we won the last 2 games against good to great teams, but I know this isnt what we would see from either team in the playoffs.

Interesting that Thibs let Grimes close. He earned it, took it to the rim repeatedly. Made some clutch shots.

Hope Randle is OK. Looks like his shoulder popped out. Had a bone spur pressing against my rotator cuff, shredded my muscles. But I had a great surgeon, lucked out. Hope Randle doesnt need surgery.

On the plus side, it’s his right shoulder and he’s left handed. For me it was my right and I’m right handed. I’m optimistic with this injury. He’ll skip surgery and return for the team. Then have surgery in the off season. That’s my optimistic view. Let’s hope for the best. Randle was rolling too. Just when I started giving him his flowers, go figure.

Nothing a little peroxide can't fix...

Spray Windex on it and apply Vicks vapor rub

You might be the ultimate Debbie downer.

Forgot to add that Deuce looks much more confident, really confident. Up until recently there was a lot of "humuna, humuna" in his body language and movement. A lot of hesitation.

Have to admit, wasnt expecting him to do this, after the start he had. Said earlier in the season that I wanted to see Deuce audition for the backup PG spot, looks like he might be on his way to keeping it.

Im not blowing smoke up my butt. Do you really believe that this is how the Heat will come at us in the playoffs? Be honest.

If its surgery, its still going to do a number on him either way. If its torn, I would sign a good backup, let Randle rest.

Fing X-rays!

We were starting to play like injuries would be the only thing that would stop us.

I hope the man is okay. He just overcame the ankle, and it seemed like everything was falling into place for him.

Nuggets had an unforced turnover on the first play, never had a lead, and waved the white flag halfway into the third, Miami came out on fire, withstood the Knicks run and tied it with 25 seconds left in the 3Rd before Brunson went MVP. Sadly it looks like the Knicks have a good team.

OG starts at PF with Hart at the wing or Precious at the PF spot?

I would start Precious at PF.

Heat wont play like this in the postseason. Anyone who says otherwise is kidding themselves. Not saying we cant beat them. I am saying a Spoelstra coached team will be a lot tougher in the postseason, Rozier just got there as well, played poorly. Said I was glad we won, but we need a better test.

I had raised the Evan for Bogdovic for awhile. That deal would give us a good 3/4 for a stretch. Different type of player but can help us tread water until Julius returns. Depth is always needed and we got Evan getting that cash and not providing any value, turn him in to a piece that can be played and traded in the off-season. Not a perfect player but for the next 20 games while Julius heals ( if he recovers sooner great ) not a bad move right now ?
