“Heat” are 11-1 in their last...12. Six guys scored in D.D.’s for the “Heaters” led by who else. Jimmy had 28 (11/16), 12, 4, 2, and 3 TO’s. Bam played! Bam played 30’ and was 14, 9, 6, 2 blocks, 2 TO’s. My main man K.O. had a good and a complete game, 17, 8, 4, 3 steals, 2 blocks, and 0 TO’s. Now he was playing against the “Cadavers,” but still. KNunn had 10, Duncan 14, Tyler 15. “Heat” shot 49% against Clevelan. The 🐉 is in a shooting funk. He went 1/4 tonight for only 2 points, 5 ‘bounds, 9 assists—very nice—, a steal, a block, but 4 TO’s. No, the 🐉 is in a funk period. I didn’t know ‘cause Cleve is back in its natural state of utter irrelevance but the AP report says they had lost TEN in a row, then won 4 straight and have now lost four in a row.
Streaks like that are down to poor coaching. Coaches of erratic, streaky teams don't get their guys ready to play every night. It’s the same with Pitt basketball.The worst loss in Pitt basketball history was opening night this season against the St. Francis "Red Flashers". “Panthers” then won five straight and eight of nine, including beating Duke--then lost eight of nine. Pitt head man Jeff Capel is, shocking to me, a shit coach off his three years at the Cathedral and J.B. Bickerstaff has sucked over two half-seasons in Lake Mistake.
Miami fourth in the East, distant from third, C.C. 13th, distant from everybody but D.C. Orlando, and Motown.
