Second time I've seen Aldridge in person the last two years. He was great both times. Probably most impressed I've been with an opposing player live. Leonard was great in the second half too. He's a completely different player than he was a few years ago. Heat just got outplayed in the second half and that stupid elbow by Whiteside was the final nail in the coffin. Was a seven point swing. If the Heat resign him next year there will be a riot in Miami.

Kid got robbed.

Prayers to Bosh. I really really hope this isn't serious. Underrated game on the court and he seems like one of the coolest, chillest, and smartest dudes in the league.

so nothing at the trade deadline for the c's. trader danny WTF? i am so disappointed, i wanted kevin love here in the worst way. i think he would be an excellent fit here in boston. the hell with griffin and howard. love was the one i wanted. locked up for four more years so he couldn't walk away. i would have traded that first-round brooklyn pick for him in a heartbeat. now we're stuck with like 9 draft picks, what the hell are we going to do with them all? GUTTED.

i'll tell you what--- if the celtics do hold on to that brooklyn pick, and they somehow manage to draft ben simmons, i will personally drive simmons up to cleveland myself if the cavs want to give us love then. how about that?

sure his numbers are down this season but then again he's in cleveland playing with lebron. a change of scene would do him good. he'll bounce back someplace else. get him here and let isaiah thomas feed him the ball and i think it would be pure magic

The reason for the lack luster trade deadline is that the league has become a 4 team race already. One of these: Warriors, Spurs, Thunder, or the Cavaliers will almost certainly be winning the title this year. That means that every other team really has no incentive to try and improve right now. This includes the Heat.

there were rumblings on sports radio today that a deal might have almost happened to bring kevin durant to the celtics. way to kick me in the nuts.

That and the NBA trade deadline is rarely eventful. Can anyone really think of a NBA trade deadline that was packed with action? Sure there was the year Carmelo was traded, or when Pau Gasol was traded to the Lakers, or Baron Davis, but if you take baseball's trade deadline, those the massive deals could go down in one day, much less the week leading up to the deadline. It's so rare that an impactful deal happens. The cap is too difficult to navigate, most teams overvalue their stock, and draft picks are too valuable. Leads to too much inaction, even by teams who NEED to make a deal.

In short, nothing beats baseball in trade deadline deals and off season deals (mostly because of the non-salary cap)

Heat over Warriors tonight by double digits.
