    This is a don't-play-to-their-level game.

    Be the better team.

    Defeat the opponents soundly in the skirmish!

    Sports teams without plural names are lame. From now on I will refer to Miami as the Heats. You know what's not lame though? Boring wins. Go Rockets!

    Dream on! But, you're absolutely right. It really would be great to see 10 players with more than 5 minutes of PT>

    Heat is plural lol. What drives me insane is that actual, educated reporters refer to the franchises like the Heat and Thunder as singular. Like "the Thunder is doing a good job of..." that makes absolutely no sense lol. So annoying. Every franchise name is plural. It's not one person, it's an organization, a group of people. Drives me crazy lol.

    If they make a run that's fine. Just gotta take their best punch and then leave them in the dust

    Can't believe they are a 4 seed. Spoelstra is underrated?

    This will be the first time that Green and Mbah a Moute have played in the same game.

    Will be the second time that Harden-CP-Capela-Green will have played in the same game (First was Lakers game when Harden got injured).

    yeah, their record surprises me...to me, they have the talent of a team that should be hovering around .500, but u look up and they’re 27-19 and only a half game behind Cleveland for the 3rd seed

    I am not an educated reporter, so I'm allowed to be dumb, but I get what you're saying.

    His PER is 12.41

    If he wasn't already in his 3rd season, he may've been Rookie-Sophmore Game eligible.

    They're playing good as a unit but out of those 8 wins, 4 of them were against playoff teams (Bucks twice, who just fired their head coach btw). Their 2 losses were against the Bulls and the Nets....

    They don't really scare me tbh. Rockets still have to come out strong though.

    Hey tilman make sure that mans peck muscle is healed before you start making him shoot a free throw.

    We need that guy back healthy next year sacking QBs and stuff.

    Rockets win and it’s a blow out.

    Team is full and healthy so back to the boring wins again.

    Bummer lol.

    underestimate them, play to their level, mock them, but make sure to beat you beat that ass.
