[ONE LOVE]

Since we didn't make the playoffs this year, thought there should be a place where we discuss the playoffs in general.

Heat/Hawks game about to start,.. I think we want the Heat to lose twice right?

I’m not worried too much about that… just want Minny to lose. Both of these teams could be a trade partners this offseason if they disappoint so it’s kind of a win win.

Trade partners? MIA and Hawks? How so?

Hawks are just a few tweaks from being a legit team IMO.

Both teams will be pretty desperate to offload salary… and we have lots of cap space.

I agree… they just need to turn John Collins into Giannis and they are set… I kid I kid.

How did the Heat go 44-38 while starting Gabe Vincent and Max Strus? Is there a team with less on paper talent in the NBA past their top 3?

They have a negative point diff I believe… Jimmy, Bam and Spo… they get it done.

Hawks with a handy lead early.

The arena's still like half empty after the 1st quarter... is that normal?

Miami sports crowds are embarrassing.

It's a play-in game and the arena is half empty.

It’s a late arriving crowd but I think there are some weather/flood issues right now on top of it.
