want to apologize to all the heat fans N fans of mine for the way I shot from the free throw line you deserve a better performance #goodwin

By psychintellectWade's health is more worrying. I'm hoping he can somewhat hold out another 2 or 3 years. He's does so much for us. Hoping that with a full integrated Dragic next season, he won't have so much responsibility.

By KingGondoMan, it would be amazing if he won MVP.

Don't really care about that though. Just want to be fully healthy when the playoffs start.

I personally think it'd be bullshit if he wins. Dude has played in 46 games, warriors already have more wins than that. IMO a big reason for being chosen MVP is having a top 3 team in your conference, playing 90% + of the games, and being a top 5 stats guy. Steph and Harden hit both of those.

Plus - no player has ever won an MVP from a 7 or 8 seed. Ever. Lowest it's ever been was the 6 seed, and Moses Malone was averaging 31/15 (30 years ago).

By Jeff-DSAGuys, if it takes 33 FGAs and 20 FTAs to beat Philly in OT, how can we argue with those results? MVP.

It isn't his fault we're the 8 seed. And in the games in which he's played in this season, he's been the best player. He's dominating in a way that hasn't been seen in decades.

It would be far from "bullshit" if he won. It just depends on your criteria for the award. There are 5 deserving candidates this year

Since Jan. 1, the Heat are defending at a Top-5 rate (99.2 DefRtg) with Hassan Whiteside on the floor.

By Jeff-DSANot really though, I still can't watching the dude jack up contested shots at 43% shooting while KD claps his hands in open space while shooting 51%. It will always bug me. I hate his style of basketball.

43% shooting, only 28% on 3-point FGs, and he's taking 4 more shots per game to only score 2 more points than KD. He also has more turnovers this season than all of last season combined.

But 49 points is all we want to talk about.

Edit: And how long is this romrei crap going to go on? This noise is why I rarely post these days.

By matrixWhat are you watching. Plenty of West teams far more impressive.

11-2 record against western playoff teams ain't nothing to sneeze at.

one loss came against the spurs in the second game of their season.

We all know regular season means jack ****in the long run except for home court. Rockets were 4-0 against the Spurs and the Spurs won it all.

By dbWhat's all this Michele Roberts locker room crap about that has everyone in a tizzy.

I'll make another round of PMing the oldheads from NBAGAF before the playoffs start. A lot of guys got burnt out during the back and forth between thread locks and the temp forum. I don't think Ninja even knew about the new site until I hit him up again recently.

I need Bobcats-age back for when we get WASHED by Atlanta in the first round

By knux-futureTheir prospect videos are so weird.

The positives come up and you are all hype.

Then the negatives pop up and you wonder if the prospect can even play basketball and thus you start contemplating life and shit.

The day after I arrived in Miami, on Feb. 20, I had my physical, and then toured the arena and practice facility. I also met team president Pat Riley in his office, and it was unbelievable. I still remember that meeting.

I got goose bumps when he was talking about everything that we try to do in this organization to win a championship, and that we're one step closer with me. That meant a lot. He even gave me a hard plastic card—about the size of a business card—that had a picture of the Larry O'Brien trophy and said on the other side, "We are family." I put it in my wallet right away. Pat said, "This is what it's all about. You can have it with you all the time."

What's impressed me about the Heat is that everybody is so connected. It doesn't matter if you're working in the front office or you're just a security guy at the game, it looks like they're in this to win a championship. You can see they're one big family, a lot of interesting characters, like Michael Beasley, who I played with in Phoenix. They're always going to be there for you, they're going to have your back.

I felt that right away when D-Wade texted me as soon as I landed in Miami. He is just unbelievable. He's a future Hall of Famer and he's such a nice guy, humble guy. I already have a close bond with him and spend a lot of time talking to him about basketball.

I didn't have a player like that in Phoenix. He also organized a team dinner for us in New Orleans. For Zoki, Luol has been spending a lot of time with him. D-Wade and Luol still talk to each of us after every game, checking on us.

The team's attention to detail has been unbelievable. Kenny has filled me in on things like restaurants to check out, back roads to take to avoid traffic, VIP parking perks at the arena for my family, the best times to leave from certain parts of town to get to places faster, and he told me that when the bridge in Brickell is up, it takes 30 more minutes to get to the game. He even got me my Florida driver's license and made sure that when he shipped my Mercedes C63 AMG from Phoenix, it was cleaned and detailed when I received it.
