All that talk about "Heat Culture". They've become a perennial play-in team that is essentially a first round bye for these #1 seeds lol. Fine, they made the Finals in 2023 thanks to Butler and some black magic (Caleb Martin, etc.). But yeah, Riley ain't looking like a genius now.

Maybe another league MVP manipulates their way onto the Heat to create a dominant Big Three.  Then Riley?s a genius again.

I wouldn't rule out a Durant or Giannis trade there, but they'd 1000% have to probably give up Bam in the deal. I doubt Herro is that valuable, if he was they could have probably had Jrue or Lillard in recent years.

Man Spida is a beast in the 4th quarter. Baller

Miami isn?t making it easy on CLE.

It's early but Rockets look good. Amen Thompson being relied upon for scoring and he's succeeding so far.

I'm sorry but can Van Gundy shut up. Dude, STOP TALKING EVERY SECOND

Even when a guy is hurt and Brian Anderson is trying to talk about it, SVG just keeps on yapping

Yeah that looked like a terrible fall.  Hopefully it isn?t as bad as it looked.  I was being sarcastic before I saw the injury.

That probably just costs GS the series.

No Steph in this 2nd unit.

Why is Hield not out there? Kuminga is the only guy who can create his own shot. Get him some help. Need Buddy out there. They have Podz out there. A semi-creator. They should have all 3 of them out there while Steph gets some rest.

These shots they are getting with this unit are terrible.

I hate those flops on 3 point attempts. Refs gotta crack down on that nonsense. A tiny little bit of contact and they fall back on the floor like they have been shot.

Rockets are near unbeatable when Jalen Green plays like this.

35pts 6ast 4reb 3stl on 12-23 FGA including 7-16 3PTA with 4-5 FTAs.

Houston have 14 wins 1 loss on the season when Jalen Green gets them 30+pts. That scoring explosion they need alongside their top level defense & rebounding.
