If the Mavs make the play-in and then don’t have one of their ping pong balls drawn, is their pick guaranteed to not be in the top 10? Or could they still have pick 9 or 10 in that scenario?

IQ’s career is beginning to follow a very Jalen Brunsonesque arc. There’s probably some law school kid in south Florida right now telling his buddies on Heatblogger that he would be a great signing if he makes it to RFA.

this next game is a playoff game, pure and simple. I simply cant see us not getting the 5th seed if we win. A lot depends on what happens in Toronto tomorrow night. That is an absolute must win for the Heat, and the Raps are playing for positioning in the play-in. I’m rooting for a grueling Heat loss, which would give us a 3-game cushion in the loss column. But no matter what, we need this game.

Defense was better in the second half, but it is hard to draw conclusions as Houston is a really bad team. Wednesday will be more indicative as to where they Knicks are. Pick and roll, communication, defensive rotations, closeouts, all has been a mess lately. This is not always talked about as sometimes they have their offense going and get the W anyway. However, unless they figure it out on D, playoffs will likely be a brutal experience.

Oh and one other negative- Knicks fans should NEVER EVER do the wave!

Ok I’ll find something negative – how come you never see Randle celebrating when the bench is in? And he was nowhere to be found when IQ came out.

Probably not a big deal but …..

If I’d bet he’d have missed that free throw.

I like the Sims sighting.

Seems like we weren’t taking them seriously and then put the boot down.

Yeah, that sums it up well.
