Miami Heat Thread

[SoF'nAwesome]

"Robin or Batman, it don't matter those are two cool dudes man" reply of DWade to a fan tweeting about the whole Robin/Batman thingy.

Fingers crossed for the Rockets record, though they won't be going for the Lakers crown. 'cause by then they will be resting players. Would be interesting to see what they do against Celtics.

[hentzman]

Isn't this Batman thing assigned to Pip, anyway?

But, you know what I mean, don't you?

The Heat are winning and gunning for a second straight championship. I doubt that Wade is bothered by his role at all, which is still obviously very significant.

That said, one has to give him credit for yielding the alpha dog role to LeBron after establishing himself as the star in Miami and being The Man in the 2006 championship. It just goes to show that good things can happen when ego is put aside for the sake of the team.

[SoF'nAwesome]

Dynamic duo. And it should never be called the "Big 3" in my opinion, "Big 2" if you may. 'cause if I look at the season CB has had, I wish that he should be traded for whomever we can get.

[Andrew]

He did play a rather significant part in the Eastern Conference Finals and NBA Finals last year.

[SoF'nAwesome]

I know. When it was raining 3s for him...but that's pretty much it. This season, I would pick Andersen over him.

[NovU]

Do you think Batman and Robin could survive without Alfred?

[SoF'nAwesome]

haha nice one man

[Andrew]

21 and counting; needless to say, impressive. Don't tell that to Jason Terry, though.

[SoF'nAwesome]

"Words from someone swimming in envy, that's all I can say." well said from Clare there.

Man, what people wouldn't to get some attention these days? Another Joey Barton here.

[Andrew]

Well, to his credit he has backed up his words before, getting that tattoo of the Larry O'Brien trophy before the 2011 season and playing a big part in the Mavericks winning it all that year. If you're constantly in awe of your opponents and lacking in bravado, you're probably not going to succeed in the league.

Still, at this point you've got to give the Heat their due.

[SoF'nAwesome]

The "awe and bravado" point you made is understandable. But Terry isn't making the statement from that angle. His was just a stunt and maybe an attempt to put some pressure on the Heat in their upcoming game.

[NovU]

As a Heat fan, nothing about him is likable. But it feels only normal for him to be saying such things. I mean... MY GOD, he was a Mav and now he's a Celtics! You didn't expect kisses and hugs from Terry, right?

Besides, the Mavericks and Celtics are franchises of excellence and class. Their players are as classy as John Stockton on good days, and fans are just as awesome and very respectful. Just kidding. I think they're piles of diarrhea poop bags and god forbidden abominations.

[SoF'nAwesome]

I am grateful that Mavs won the championship in 2011. It unleashed the King from the Pandora's Box. Also, thankful to Celtics for being an obstacle in the 2012 playoffs. It just made the Heat more dominant against Thunder.

Anyway, can y'all hear me out there?

[Andrew]

They've now tied the 2008 Rockets.

[SoF'nAwesome]

If we somehow beat the Celtics, I don't see the streak stopping til there is 27 wins in a row, at least.

[Martti.]

Tied at 77, I was a bit worried. But a 28-4 run gives me hope the streak will go on, not sure it'll reach 33.

[SoF'nAwesome]

No need to impress Jason Terry. Just give him a nightmare for the rest of his life

[NovU]

Last few minutes were not much of fun to watch. Ball movement disappeared completely and kept running LeBrick iso plays. Sure he hit the eventual winning shot, but ain't too impressed. I don't like how every Heat are caught in this streak thingie either. Going to be meaningless if you don't win that last game of the season anyways.

[SoF'nAwesome]

Well, you can't but get caught in anything this huge. But to be honest, the guys don't really care that much for it. It's cool and all. But media is doing what it does best, over-hype stuff. Some guys, say they would like to see Heat lose because of the arrogance Wade & Bron are showing post-matches but I say fuck them. If there are questions asked by guys about the streak, what are they supposed to? Just ignore? lol

Anyway, don't really see any stop before the Bulls unless Kyrie just blasts it all up. SAS will be the real challenge.

[Andrew]

Right now, 33 looks like a possibility, as does going undefeated the rest of the regular season if they don't choose to rest anyone in the last couple of games.

So, I guess that means the Cavs end the streak today, despite conventional wisdom saying they have absolutely no chance of doing so. And if not them, another team that seemingly doesn't stand a chance, because that's just the way things go.

[Alpha_]

Wow. The Heat overcame a 27-point deficit.
