    He's only 4 years older than my parents. You should see my dad. He looks 85 because of what lung cancer did to him.

    Inexcusable number of mental mistakes defensively from Denver tonight.

    I think that almost all of Adebayo's screens are illegal. If they are legal, every center in the league should emulate his techniques.

    If the Nuggets pull off this come back it will be really deflating to the Heat. If the Heat can scratch and claw and hold onto this one they've got to feel good going back to Miami.

    Wow! What a huge win for the Heat. If they keep hitting these open threes that the Nuggets give them at a reasonable rate they're going to be in all of these games.

    Looks like to beat Denver is let Jokic score 50 but don’t give him assist.

    great..... more ammunition for Cronin to keep using this tiny Blazers team. "the new roster seems a bit small (Mr. Wonderful you are so amazing you hansome savvy boss man), are you going with a Miami gameplan?"

    My father in law just got diagnosed with lung cancer last week. Super early stages though. They caught it while doing an MRI on his shoulder. Mantle cell lymphoma.

    Was your dad’s lung cancer similar? Is he 100% clear of the cancer?

    Three point shooting has been the diff maker for the Heat. #8 seeds can have a chance w/3pt gun slingers.

    He’s 100% clear and has been for a long time. Diagnosed in 2010. Dude had a massive tumor in his lung. They gave him 8 years and he is still going after 13. But his quality of life is really bad. He developed rheumatoid arthritis as a result of all the treatment. He is basically down to one lung and he can’t walk far or do anything exerting. But at the same time, I don’t think he has really tried to improve his quality of life. He doesn’t have much fight left in him.
