Google search "Bucks vs Heat":
In a February 24, 2026 matchup, the Milwaukee Bucks (playing without Giannis Antetokounmpo) exploited specific defensive vulnerabilities in the Miami Heat's lineup to secure a 128-117 win. Coach Doc Rivers highlighted "matchup hunting" in the fourth quarter, targeting the pairing of Tyler Herro and Norman Powell on defense, resulting in a 39-24 fourth-quarter advantage for Milwaukee.

Bleak House to Barry Jackson
...
Frequently asked Q by "Heat" fans: Does the Heat believe its roster is good enough?
The brain trust knows it could use another premier scorer. But the Heat believes it can be very competitive in the playoffs if healthy. That remains to be seen.
That, to me, is the single most preposterous belief by Bleak House. Last post-season, without Jimmy Butler, we were completely un-competitive in a historic obliteration by Cleveland. We have the same roster back.
There's some squishiness there. What is the Bleak House definition of "very competitive", getting swept in the first round by an average of 10 rather than 30? No. Winning, idk, two games in the first round? I don't consider a 4 games to 2 beginning to summer as "very competitive".
Winning the first round series and winning a couple games in the second? I could go with that as very competitive. But in Pat Riley's dotage, with diminished gray matter that sees "very competitive" in this collection of never-will-be's, T'AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.
If we finish 8th, where we are now, we get the poll-to-poll (at this writing) Least leading Zollner Pistons in the first round. Not winning.
If we make it out of the play-in and finish 7th we'll play, currently, Beans in the first round. Ain't gonna win 4 of 7.
If by some improbability requiring multiple plane crashed we finish sixth we get Mamdani City, as it stands now. Out.
And if we are unfortunate enough to finish fifth, again right now, we would play Sensitive City and they reasonably could sweep us by an average of 30/game again.
In short, if we make the playoffs we will be out in a nanosecond. Ergo we are not going to be "very competitive" in the playoffs, if we make it out of the play-in.
Bleak House is out of touch. We just lost a winnable game in which we were a significant favorite and went 4-2 against six sub-.500 teams. We're barely .500 ourselves. We have no talisman. Parse "very competitive" as you wish but don't parse reasonable meaning away. This roster does not have a High Ceiling and they will not be "very competitive" in the playoffs against the more talented teams they will face..

Publocc Opinion | The Trump Regime Will Not Make Full War on Iran
Below is from David Sanger of the New York Times on the paper's radio show, The Daily. Full transcript.
"This is a country of 90 million people. They have considerable ability not only to strike back with missiles, but with a terror network that runs throughout Europe and to some degree has shown some capability to operate inside the United States.
...
"It’s not as if the Iranians are in a position right now to attack us.
...
"Instead, the president might be engaging in what legal and diplomatic historians call a preventive war. A war where we are strong, our adversary is weak, and so we’re going to hit them now because we’ve got a good chance.
"That is, in international just war theory, considered to be an illegal use of force.
"That may not stop the president.
"The president may believe that he’ll go down in history as the one who solved America’s long running conflict with Iran that goes back to 1979.
"But if the president decides to take military action in the next few days or weeks, I suspect that historians will look back at this moment as a war of choice, not a war of necessity."

Detached Trump Detaches U.S. From World
[Bank BNP Paribas analyst William] Bratton argued that Asian companies will react by increasingly detaching themselves from U.S. trade.
“We expect U.S. trade policy…to become increasingly complex and more targeted resulting in a patchwork of tariff measures and trade agreements…the global economy will continue to fragment with U.S. trade flows steadily becoming less important as Asian trade becomes increasingly more regional in nature."
