“Heat” hang on! 137-106. That’s amazing. Spo subbed Jimmy out after only 29’. Three other guys played more minutes, two of them off the bench. Jimmy had 38 points in 29’...I mean. “Heat” shot 56.5% from the field. Man, Philly is going through some kinda thing hoo doggie. Maybe they got the coronavirus, coronaprocess. Played like they had the flu. I mean, you’re not even trying if you let the other team shoot 56.5%. You just don’t care. You wanna see more not trying? “Heat” led by 4 after one; by four at the half. And then outscored them 41-25 in the third and 40-29 in the fourth. That’s giving up. Whatever man, it’s just one game, pass me that joint, a loss is a loss is a loss. Who cares not me it’s part of the process. That was Philadelphia tonight. A disgrace to sport.  You want to talk about just going through the motions? Ben Simmons, their 6’10” Processed point guard (!), was -31 for the game. Minus thirty-fucking-one. That is disgraceful. Philly was 31-19 coming into this game; Miami, 33-15. “Heat” was a 2.5 point favorite. They won by 31. Miami “Heat” Culture won by 31.

Miami now 9-6 in their last 15, 60% wins. Two wins in a row. Now they go West, four games in five nights; five games in seven nights starting Wednesday in L.A. against the “Clippers.” I’m going to pencil the “Clippers” in on that one. 9-7. Then SAC Friday. Win, 10-7. Sunday in Portlandia. Win, 11-7. Monday in SF vs Golden Pond. Win, 12-7. Next Wednesday in Utah. Loss, 12-8. I’d take 12-8 in a heartbeat.
