21/4/18 Heat vs. Nets GT: Durant leaves game after contact with Ariza

[ArbitraryWater]

shouldn't be too serious though, but probably won't come back.

[DoctorP]

yeah when you have a guy with a history of injuries like Durant I guess you play it safe, even with a Charlie Horse.... I GUESSSSSS

[DoctorP]

Heat trying some new lineups after hitting a wall, rock bottom and getting ranted out by Jimmy.

[Manny98]

DJ is so bad that Nash would rather have Blake start at the 5 :oldlol:

Kyrie needs to take over this game in the second half

[ArbitraryWater]

Heat splashing the long ball so far

[DoctorP]

After the switch, Heat looks soft and white in the middle. Like an Oreo. Jeff Green takes advantage.

[LoneyROY7]

Time for Harden to come back so I can pay attention to basketball again. :oldlol:

Brooklyn needs their Atlas.

[ArbitraryWater]

Shamet going off.

Nets have two absolute dead-eye snipers.

[DoctorP]

Dedmon looking ok in the middle for Miami. Would Miami actually play Dedmon and Bam in the middle? Prob not necessary against BK

[Manny98]

Shamet has got his swagger back! (finally)

[Manny98]

There we go Ree

[DoctorP]

Iguodala still a specimen.

[DoctorP]

Ariza and Iguodala using their old man juices this game. Looking good

[DoctorP]

Shamet going off.

Nets have two absolute dead-eye snipers.

sick off balance 3ball

[DoctorP]

Kyrie's been passive, not doing any crazy moves out there. i expect him to turn it on in the 2nd half if necessary.

[DoctorP]

Harris gonna Harris

[ArbitraryWater]

Heat go nearly 4 minutes without a point

[DoctorP]

Heat go nearly 4 minutes without a point

Thats miami basketball

[RRR3]

Thats miami basketball
Yep.

[Manny98]

Joe "Ray Allen" Harris!

[LoneyROY7]

Would be a big W if Brooklyn can steal this one.

Not really. Heat are 4-11 without Butler and Slo can’t even beat the Wolves with Butler. He’ll find a way to blow it.

[LoneyROY7]

Landry Shamet baby bois.

[Manny98]

Wooooooooooo!

Shamet having the game of his life :roll:

[LoneyROY7]

Good take Ree.

[DoctorP]

Ariza making shit happen

[LoneyROY7]

KD really left in the 1st and came back out in his street clothes. :oldlol:

[LoneyROY7]

Damn, Iggy kinda clamped Ree there.

[DoctorP]

This is Dragic's best game in a while.

[LoneyROY7]

Bruh. That's tough.

[DoctorP]

Adebayo game winnaaaaaa

[Hey Yo]

Emeril says.... BAM!!

[LBJ]

Kyrie choking as usual

[LoneyROY7]

Tough L.

[RRR3]

How you like Bam now Manny?



Kyrie bricked the game away down the stretch lmao

[DoctorP]

Kyrie choking as usual

not a high energy game by Kyrie

[LoneyROY7]

Last few for the Nets have been rough

Without Atlas™ they just not so tough

[Manny98]

That's a tough 1st round matchup for nets. Butler/iggy/ariza can defend the big 3 and Bam can abuse them inside.

Nets may have heat/bucks/76ers path? Durant's legs are going to fall off after that much physical playoff basketball

Nets will be fine. They need their guys back. I see no obstacles. They run motherFers out of the gym.

Told you about Bam :pimp:

Nice to see a big hit a game winner near the post. Midrange may be out of fashion, but players need to learn midrange game for these crunch time situations. Defenses tend to either pack the paint or protect the 3 when it’s close with seconds to go.

Yeah it’s more important in the playoffs. That’s part of why Lakers did so well cuz AD is a good midrange shooter and Bron gets him good looks.

[It's A VC3!!!]

I am baffled how neither Shamet or Harris attempted one field goal in the final 4 minutes of regulation. Kyrie Irving cost the Nets this game big time. 6-19 shooting and 4 turnovers. There is one month left before the playoffs begin and we do not look sharp right now. I understand the injuries but this game was in our control. Up by 6 with 3 minutes to go. Close the damn game. It's unfortunate that the Nets don't care about the # 1 seed. Being # 2 means that we will need to play the Bucks in the 2nd round and the 76ers in the 3rd round. Not a path to take when our big 3 has played just 7 games together. Nets doing this to themselves..

None of this matters. Harden will control the ball and be the actual playmaker when he's back. When is he supposed to be back?

[Axe]

The heat just took advantage of a limping nets team i see

Probably this week. Just in time to take some headlines from Stephen. :pimp:

[Mr. Woke]

He got injured and decided to change.

That's not surprising at all.
