Bulls with a nice lead at the half but of course that didn't matter against the Hawks two days ago and the Magic overcame that 24 point deficit against Miami yesterday, so it's far from over. Rose is knocking down shots though, so that's an encouraging sign.

San Antonio 115 - Miami 87, eight Spurs in double figures and still four minutes left :shocked: Gotta be honest, never thought it would be this lopsided.

Yep, they even set a franchise record of threes made (17, and Matt Bonner 6/7 :bowdown2: ). Nowhere close to being an exciting game, but I enjoyed it. (Y)

When you have Matt Bonner hitting lights-out from deep, you're really in trouble. :bowdown:

If it's other teams, especially the Lakers, I'm dead serious. But if it's against the Rockets, hell no.

Great game by Los Spurs. That foul by Dampier looked really bad live, but I'm glad Parker came out of it ok. I think that now makes the Heat 0-8 against teams over .700 now.

Also amazing that Cleveland picked up their third straight win against the Knicks :lol:

There's something they've gotta work on.

That was a really hard foul. I tuned in about five seconds before that happened and when I saw Parker fall to the ground with his arms kind of flailing around I immediately thought of an Andrew Bogut - type injury. Glad he's alright. :crazyeyes:

Patty Mills just got his first post-game interview I believe tonight. Starting to like the little guy with his accent.

Patty Mills, common man learn how to pass the ball and get some assists. Nice win by the clippers at home.

Jason Kidd just passed Gary Payton for third in all-time steals :bowdown2:

Durant was awesome against the 76ers tonight. 34 points, 16 rebounds and the clutch three to send it into overtime. (Y)

Melo with the game winner against the Grizz. Sad to see the Knicks blow a huge lead, but atleast they got the W.

In the daily predictions thread I've picked the Lakers to beat the Heat after getting burned picking them in four of their past five losses, which means there's a decent chance the Heat will pick today to break out of their funk.

Dammit Andrew.

The more the Heat lose, the more value their pick via Toronto has.

I wonder if it'll be the same as earlier in the season when a few of us cooled off on picking them and they began that 21-1 stretch not long after. In all seriousness, it was a big win for them as far as regular season games are concerned and might be what they needed to get back on track.

Ilguaskas last minute tip out was a goaltending. The Heat got a call in their way. Could have been a different ending. It's hard to feel all that good about this win. It was a homegame for the Heat as well. Should have done better.

But still a big win. Needed it really really bad.
