Jimmy Butler unstoppable in the second half

I'm going to need a monster madness trophy or final 4. Just about ready to give up on the Heat. They will probably start the playoffs Jalen Hurts.

Michigan State, Mary Ingalls, Gonzaga, Wisky, Purdue, Illinois, Baylor

Players are soft. Bill Laimbeer not only played with a separated shoulder, had a consecutive game streak snapped when he was suspended. That would be unheard of now.

Injuries have been one of the Miami Heat’s issues throughout the season. But injuries are probably the Heat’s biggest issue in the final weeks of the regular season as it fights to avoid the NBA’s play-in tournament.

The Heat entered Monday night’s 98-91 loss without a chunk of its usual rotation, as Jimmy Butler (right foot contusion), Nikola Jovic (strained right hamstring), Tyler Herro (right foot medial tendintis), Kevin Love (right heel bruise) and Josh Richardson (right shoulder surgery) all missed the game.


Now, Duncan Robinson has left the Heat to return to Miami to see a back specialist after exiting Monday’s game early with back discomfort. Robinson is out for Wednesday’s matchup against the Cavaliers in Cleveland (7 p.m., Bally Sports Sun) — the Heat’s final stop on its four-game trip — and potentially longer.

Meanwhile, Butler and Jovic are questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Cavaliers. Herro, Love and Richardson remain out.

The Heat also has Bam Adebayo playing through a lower back contusion and Caleb Martin playing through a sprained left thumb.

The Heat have used 33 different SL's this season, a franchise record, they're a no excuse team and you will NEVER hear Spo use injuries as an excuse, but at some point you need your guys healthy

Michigan State more likely to lose tomorrow than against Whorelina. I expect a severe stevo sweat. I will be following not watching. And biting. And biting.

If Illinois and Missy C, Celtics become a live paw. That would be beautiful but nothing that good so I don't expect it. Would still need Rickie and Lightning but would become an additional late scenario.

Should finish ahead of 76ers. Shouldn't have to. worry about 9. So they can finish ahead of 1 more team or win the 1st pee in game at home or away.

Poor Philadelphia. Brutal hustle double whammy. Maybe they can grind it out and get Embiid back. They will be dogs pretty much every game until the end.

What I mean by special needing to go 4-0 is to leave their scent for everybody besides the Celtics in the East. These are the teams they will face.

Yeah like I left my scent to my ex Michigan State roommate when I wiped my ass and mailed it to him.
