The Heat just lost back to back games to the Sixers and the Warriors.
Embiid, Harden, Curry, Green, Thompson, Porter Jr. all were out.
That’s rough. – 10:07 PM

There was a game in March in 2016 where the Heat destroyed the Cavs and LeBron was cracking up with D Wade at halftime. Cleveland went on to win it all. Watching Jimmy Butler and Erik Spoelstra get into it while Heat get boat-raced by half Warriors reminds me of that. – 10:04 PM

On Monday the Heat lost to Philly without Embiid and Harden
Tonight they lost to the Warriors without Curry, Klay, Draymond or Porter
They now have just a one-game lead on Milwaukee in the loss column for the No. 1 seed. The Bucks have the tiebreaker. HCA is officially in play – 9:58 PM

THT is a true game-time decision with the sore ankle that has kept him out of two of the last three games.
DJ Augustin stepped into many of those reserve minutes in THT’s place, giving L.A. more shooting and secondary playmaking, vs. THT dribble drives/defense. – 8:27 PM

4-6 at Clippers (8th seed)
Minnesota a game behind Denver for 6th.
