Game 63: Miami Heat (35-26) vs. Dallas Mavericks (34-28)

We will see how I feel.  I am leaning to skipping the next 3 games.    It is just not fun right now.    I took a similar break last year for a game or two, but came back for that car crash to end the season.  It is a shame we may be back in the same spot.  Just venting, but the last few games have been so disappointing.

I'm right there with you. They've played some of the most uninspiring difficult to watch basketball at times the last 12 months.

Still going to tune in though and hope for something better.

I was thinking about this the other day. Unless I’m wrong, this is the last year the pick has to convey to New York, which I think means it converts to some seconds, or even disappears this year if it does not convey. 

As intriguing as that thought might be, it’s also supposed to be a really weak draft, so I’m not sure there is a prize like Lively waiting on the other end of that strategy.

I certainly don’t think they are thinking now, or that tanking could be an explanation for where they are right now. And, I don’t expect them to lean into the tank now that they are skidding.

I was thinking this too.

But I remember how big of a deal it was for Luka to sit out and accept the tank last year. Can't imagine him even considering it again this year especially when they are right in the thick of the playoff race.
