Heat have lost 8 out of the last 10 games.

Fire Spo?   ???

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

They're 2 games over .500

Spo has proven himself, unlike Joe.
Back to wanting Joe fired.

Bucks lose to the Jazz 108-123. Wonder how long Doc lasts… Guess it’s only a matter of time until Dame demands a trade to Miami, again…  :P

As it turns out firing the coach didn't fix all the Bucks problems.

And they gave him a massive contract too. What was it? $40mil for three and a half years. Expensive to fire. They would be paying 4 head coaches at that stage.

It was a stupid hiring. A more stupid contract. And it is going to bite them on the ass.

Collin Sexton taunted on Giannis who flopped his way to the floor, and then Malik Beasley shoulder-checked him. Both Sexton and Beasley assessed technical fouls and Sexton got ready to go 1 on 1 with Beasley ahahaha.

I root for any player who taunts and throws Giannis to the floor. Divas getting what they deserve.

So last week LeBron was pressuring the Lakers to make a trade saying time is running out. This week he is pressuring them by saying he is unsure of opting into contract next year. Even wondering about playing elsewhere. Said he always wanted to play in New York. Almost went there in 2010 and is still interested.

LeGM hard at work.

LA Clippers are 25-5 in last 30 games, I really believe they are the team to beat unfortunately…
C/PF-Horford, Baynes, Noel, Theis, Morris,
SF/SG- Tatum, Brown, Hayward, Smart, Semi, Clark
PG- Irving, Rozier, Larkin

Celtics vs Clippers most likely Finals matchup at this point.

Bucks look a step slow. Philly’s going nowhere without Embiid. Are the C’s the only contender left in the East? Or am I underrating the Cavs who just got Mobley back (with Donovan Mitchell having a standout year)

The West looks stacked from 1-6 btw. OKC, Wolves, Clips, Nugs, Kings and Suns

We act like they’ve fallen off like the warriors. They’ve played awful and haven’t put it together yet, fired a coach and hired doc and are a whopping 5 games behind us and the 2 seed in the east. Last year they were unstoppable in the regular season and lost in the playoffs right away, I could see the opposite happening this year. The disregard of them is mind numbing to me, until they’re knocked out I will view them as a legit threat.

honestly if you look at the bucks upcoming schedule. its brutal. alot of tough games. their next 2 games are against the Suns and timberwolves.

theres a real chance they fall out of #2 spot down the standings.

Did we expect the Heat to come out of the east last year? No we aren’t the only contender left in the east. We are the favorite, which to me just means more pressure on a team that doesn’t respond to pressure

when its sunny outside do you say "but it could possibly rain later"

realistically Celtics have the least "warts" of all eastern conference contenders and are 5 games above their next closest competitor.....that's something to be positive about. I don't see how they haven't "responded" to pressure this year.
