Ass kickin' in the the Big Easy tonight. FT: NO 98 Mia 124. "Heat" led by 19 at HT. They won every quarter. "Pecans" without Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram. Z has missed 15 of NO's 45 games and is expected to miss "more than a month."  "Heat" now in the last (6th) playoff spot in the East, winning percentage 2022/23, 543, 7-3 in last 10. There is something to be "felt" (Spo) in the "Heat's" play over the last 3-4 weeks. There is nothing to be felt that should have visions of the Eastern Conference championship dancing in "Heat" fannies' noggins. They play at Big D Friday night. Cumulative winning percentage since LBJ left in 2014 up to .540, which would see them 8th this season. They don't have enough to win Larry O'Brien and they will never have enough with this roster. They are as close to Chicago in 10th and the last slot in the play-in as to Philly in 3rd and home court advantage. They need a 12-game W streak like Rust did but they have not the talent. Fannies, it's time to settle into pleasant Middlesbrough for the duration of the season. If I'm wrong, call me on it! Wrong is my twin brother.
