    All the 3's they made except for Haslem's was contested. They were hot. We do that to teams all the time.

    Strenuus is a jinx. He said we'd lose to Toronto and beat Washington and Miami.

    I remember being somewhat excited about this road trip because of how they played against Toronto. Now they might end it 1-4. Hello 5th place! Woo!

    "frontcourt/backcourt status is not attained until a player with the ball has established a positive position in either half during a throw-in in the last 2 minutes of the fourth period and/or any overtime period."

    How do you fail to draw up an inbounds play twice?! Spo coached circles around Stotts tonight. Probably the first time Stotts has been this overmatched all season

    I think MB us right. You can inbound into the backcourt, Aldridge didn't have possession so it was open to be picked up by CJ.

    They might end it 3-2! Why jump the other way? And we can't go to 5th unless OKC were to pass us. We're 4th at worst this year.

    I think that's what you meant.

    Anyone know if it was within 5 AT the 2 minute mark?

    Just checked. It was. We'll be hearing about this.

    What does Coach Stotts hate so much about in-game adjustments? Everyone in the building knew it would be a heavy dose of Wade isos off of the pick and roll down the stretch, yet we stayed in our same defensive strategy. Yes, I get that the Heat were hot, but I'll take my chances with everyone else shooting than Wade pulling up off the dribble.

    But what did the refs call? Over and back? Or traveling?
