I can't remember the last time an MVP came from a 7th seed.
If they make the playoffs it would be an incredible story. Teams don't just turn it around from 20 games under .500 in the NBA.Dion Waiters hit another dagger to give the Miami Heat another win. It's not even surprising at this point. It's more like, "Hey, are the Heat playing?" If the answer is yes, Dion Waiters is hitting a dagger and the Heat are winning. It's science.
Miami has won 20 of 24. Over the last month, Waiters is hitting 45 percent of his threes and averaging 19 points per game. The Heat have been killer on defense, Erik Spoelstra has probably earned Coach of the Year, Hassan Whiteside and Goran Dragic are earning their considerable contracts and the Dwyane Wade saga is fading quickly into history.
Speaking of D-Wade and his new club: Miami is just a half-game behind Chicago for the No. 8 seed in the East, despite the Heat starting the season 11-30. The Pistons have slipped, actually, so by the weekend the Heat could be the No. 7 seed. This is outrageous.
One curious note in all of this: the four losses for Miami since MLK Day have come against Philadelphia, Dallas and Orlando twice. Meanwhile, in that span the Heat have beaten the Warriors, the Rockets twice and the Cavaliers twice. This team is mystic in ways mere men cannot understand.
There is very possibly a d'Antoni / Nash / Harden effect happening with Dragic:carey wrote:None more than 13 games under .500. Interesting.
I don't want to harp but look at their roster and then look at ours. On paper, we have a ton more talent. Spo gets almost no love as a coach but he's legit....of course as I'm writing this Wilbon is on PTI talking about how he gets no credit. But damn...he's taken a Heat team that lost Bosh to retirement and basically only had Dragic and Whiteside as known quantities heading into the season. Winslow was injured early and guys like Dion Waiters and James Johnson, who had become journeymen, have become dangerous players. He's winning with guys like Wayne Ellington, Rodney McGruder, and Willie Reed. It's almost Spurs-like how he has his (Riley's) system and they don't miss a beat.carey wrote:http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2017/3/8/14 ... he-hornets

You're right. He was good when he was coaching a bunch of stars, and he's good now coaching a bunch of nobodies.

You mean aside from being touted as a CotY candidate? People know Spo is good. This is the first I've seen of someone suggesting otherwise.ShelC wrote: I don't want to harp but look at their roster and then look at ours. On paper, we have a ton more talent.
