Why the hell would you want to get thrown out of the game when it got that intense? I'd understand if it was a blow out but I'd want to see how this game turns out.
:sad: Super depressing. He is playing like DIRK again, yet they still can't win. He needs to take more than 10 shots, though, especially when he makes 8 of them.
LOL @ Magic arguing w/anyone and everyone. What the Heat did was impressive imo. Blowing out the Cavs over the course of the game was expected, and wouldn't have been a big deal. Going down by 27 and being all but written off and coming back in half a quarter is pretty great. I think it's the ability to turn it on in such a short period of time is what's impressive. I think at this point they're just trying to make things interesting. :side:
Don't really think anyone is going OMG THIS IS THE GREATEST MOST IMPRESSIVE thing this season UDFK. Not sure why you want to take away from this. 27 point swings in 9 minutes are impressive. Regardless the score prior or the teams involved. If you think it's MEH NOT THAT GREAT then so be it.
I think the situation demonstrates that it is at least rather impressive. Obviously, the Heat are worn down, tired and know they had to battle to beat the Celtics. Going into Cleveland after that has to create the conditions for a letdown. To come back in about nine minutes from down 27 from nearly the halfway point of the third quarter is quite impressive to me.
What's impressive is how LeBron has matured and right now the Heat are clicking on all cylinders. You know that storm is coming when Miami will unleash on you, just have to suck up and hold on. I thought what was very impressive was the game against the Raptors over the weekend. With 10 minutes to go, Toronto has worked their way into a tie, then BAM! Miami blows the doors off over the next five minutes and it's over after that.
The two main roadblocks for Miami to catch The Streak will be at Chicago next Wednesday night (#28) or at San Antonio on Easter night (#30). Otherwise, I am starting to think the Heat could break the mark. And, the irony is that #34 would be against Milwaukee...who back in 1972 was the team that ended the Lakers' 33-game winning streak.
Wow was at the movies and missed the whole game. Down by 27 and you come back to win the game in a hostile environment. Streak either seems to be taking its toll or they are just underestimating these lower teams they are facing.

Trap game...figured they had gotten away with one in Boston and might have been an easier one in their eyes. Of course, Miami has won all three games with Cleveland this year by a combined 9 points so must not have been that easy.
:lmao didn't even know OKC lost. Last thing I saw on NBA tv was Westbrook going 1 for 2 from the line and giving them a 3 point lead. Great by Memphis for sure, I remember last year Stephen A Smith guaranteeing Durant and Co will win a title soon but even with their impressive record they just don't seem elite like San Antonio or Miami for some reason. They seem to lack something or maybe I'm just blinded by how hot and consistent teams like Denver,Miami and San Antonio are.

Now it's gonna get interesting for the streak, because actually the weaker teams will be more motivated to end the streak, they not going o the playoffs so atelast accomplish something.
Appears as if Captain Kirk and Taj Gibson will both return tonight against the Blazers. As for Derrick Rose, when asked on when he thinks he'll return, Rose said "nobody knows but God". (Y)

Sorry I'm literally unimpressed by something that's not impressive in my mind. People are acting like this is what the Clippers did to the Grizzlies last year in the playoffs and yet it's not even close. That was IMPRESSIVE in my mind because of the situation, the caliber of team, and the way they did it. Heat basically shut down a bunch of non-scorers and then proceeded to score a bunch of points on a bad defensive team. OMG AMAZING I CANT BELIEVE THEY WENT ON A HUGE RUN AGAINST A DLEAGUE CALIBER TEAM. HOLY BONKERS.

I understand that Miami probably shouldn't have been down by that much in the first place, but they were fresh off an emotional win in Boston, pressure is mounting to keep the streak alive, and they were likely playing down to Cleveland's expected level and were caught off guard. They could have easily rolled over, pulled the plug on the game and the streak when they were down 27 with 6 to go in the 3rd, but instead they flipped the switch like few teams can and won the game.
Dallas comebacks against OKC and against Miami in 2011 playoffs were more mpressive imo. :side:
I do get Magic's point. Heat should have NEVER been 27 points down against a team of the calibre of Cavs. Not only that, but without Kyrie, Waiters and Varejao. That is rather embarrassing.
However, what is impressive is the Heat's determination and never say die attitude. They do not know when they are beat. They're like the Manchester United of basketball and for that, I have to hate them. The game is never over with them until the final buzzer.
