Finally we can stop worrying about home-court advantage.

VC to KP, who abused everyone plus he made Chet look pedestrian. Special mention for Horford (awesome off the bench) and Brown (three quarters of stoopid, then he shed the dumb and spearheaded the demolition).

Porzingis is still smiling.

Ever since he got here.

Best performance from the team for a couple of weeks, admittedly against a Shai less OKC.

Voted for Porzingis, just really had dominant overall game that set the tone.

60 wins feels good..

KP made it look ridiculously easy tonight. Could’ve gone for 50 if he wanted to

KP was ridiculous. Took it to the younger him with gusto. Lol, I dunno where that sentence came from, but I'm leaving it.

I don't really know why OKC went away from their gameplan of running into people, falling down and getting two free throws. It worked pretty well for three quarters. Better luck next time.

A big win over a legit team.

It's promise.

OKC needs to have an ISO game and they should be able to hunt mismatches.

That's what they need to go to the next level.

All that great ball movement is great, but they can't just be a one trick pony.

Only 60-win team this season.

Adam Silver should just hand over the trophy now if you ask me.

Joe focusing on half court offense in this game is the little things that get unnoticed.

Miami ends up playing better in the playoffs than the regular season.

Reason for that is they're very good when the pace slows down and that's what happens in the playoffs.

The Nuggets beat the Heat in the finals, but the Nuggets were forced to play Miami's pace.

If the Cs want Banner 18, they have to master the half court offense.

That will make them better in late game execution.

Big win against a very good, legit contender team.
There are many “broken” things in NBA. One of them is these back-to-back games. If there is no way to avoid them, at least they should be limited to home teams. A team on the road should not have B2Bs.

Not happening.

That's the NBA's way of making sure all teams will lose at some point.

They don't want a team winning 80 games.

Lee Van Cleef is a great actor.

Too bad he died in 89.

That's one hell of a throwback. :lol:
