I wanna see DD and Amir take turns putting Chrissy on a poster

Only two undefeated teams left in the East. We win this and we take sole possession of first place in the East.

I'll have a stream around game time and others might as well

Specifically in Winkler? Matter of fact I do:

Just off Jameson and 6th there's a bar called Harvey's. Harvey himself will most likely be working the bar, he's a short old white dude with mad ear hair, but a really nice guy. Anyways, order the tapioca pudding and go sit in the corner booth by the TV. In exactly 4 minutes 17 seconds a younger gentleman with black slicked back hair will come and stand by your table. Do not look this man in the eyes, do not utter a single word. He will lead you to a room that says "employees only". He'll then point down a set of stairs, go down those stairs and knock on the door. Tell them you're looking for Kyle. Then you're in a room with several Lazyboy recliners, a spread of bar snacks and six 98 inch flat screen TVs put together to creat a gigantic screen.

It's one of the better Raptor viewing experiences in Winkler's prestigious East Side.

The complaints will come if we lose.

This'll be the toughest test yet. Interested to see what MIA does in terms of who plays at C, and how much small ball they play, and whether Casey crushes them with JV or folds to their play style and goes away from our double double machine in the middle.

Bosh at C could be very interesting - with JV, you probably have him hang out with the PF at the 3 point line, and let Amir handle Bosh, then post JV up all night long to punish them for size. With Bosh at PF it becomes much more obvious. I'm just hoping Bosh at C doesn't mean a lot of TH/PP/JJ/AJ lineups at the big spots with JV chilling on the bench. Wings will struggle again this game with their wing defenders, so we need to get production from the bigs.

[MACK11]

I have a feeling we may see a lot of JJ and 2pat due to the Heat playing small ball the majority of the time

Not cool man. Not cool.
