3J: 12 pts, 6/12 (1/2), 9 rebs in 32’
The “Heat” have won their last two on the road against teams ahead of them, and 4 of their last 5. 602 Biscayne doesn’t want to address it but they’re ostriches if they don’t: The team is a .500 team or worse in > 1.5 seasons when Jimmy, Bam and Tyler all play in a game. Their record is better when one of them doesn’t play. That’s not a damn lie statistic, it’s the damn truth. I don’t know what it is but the sample size is too large and too compelling to ignore. Some deep analysis is called for and a painful decision seems certain. Erik Spoelstra can fashion a silk purse out of a sow’s ear but when presented with silk, more likely than not, the evidence of a season and a half shows clearly, a swine is the product on the floor.
