116-117

Miami kicked Queen Charlotte in in the solar plexus tonight and would now be in the playoffs as the 8th seed if the season ended today which it don't and won't for 18 more games but Miami is coming, that's three wins in a row and 5 of their last 10. Whether Miami will stop coming is the question.

A resurgent Kelly Olynyk led the "Heat" with 22 points including 5/7 from down by the Queen Charlotte statue at the airport, 11 rebounds, 1 assist, two steals and a block. YoungWhiteside had a great game, 18, 15, and 4 blocks. J-Rich and D-Wait were Pu-trid, a combined 7/25, 2/11 from range. The game was tied at the half, Miami won all quarters but the second and knocked the "Queens" on their asses.

116-117 and existential mediocrity is the big picture, a modest house on 8th Place in Middletown the immediate aspiration. Come on, Miami. Keep coming. Don’t fall into the projects in the higher numbers. That’s for losers like the “Lakers.”
