The Heat did not have shootaround this morning which is rather odd. So no updates on their injuries/possible Covid situation.
So I guess Murray kinda sorta had it right. Two people from the team didn't travel back to Miami due to covid. But no playersFor those who insist on living on Twitter rumors (and blowing up my phone). NO Heat players did not return with the team due to COVID. Two STAFFERS did not return: a broadcaster and a therapist. Team otherwise would have HAD to list on injury report if that was case with players.
That is such a weird way to word that. Why not "All Heat players returned with the team."?From Ira Winderman who covers the Heat for the Sun Sentinel

isn't this true for virtually any team? ever?5. I stand by my "glass jaw" comment about the Celtics. When Miami connects with a (metaphorical) punch, it takes the Celtics time to regroup. ....
I think it was Karalis who mentioned yesterday on his podcast that Spoelstra was canceling this morning's shootaround so we won't know who is available . Presumably because he has too many players with injuries.The Heat did not have shootaround this morning which is rather odd. So no updates on their injuries/possible Covid situation.
The Bam Covid rumors have been running hot all morning.That is such a weird way to word that. Why not "All Heat players returned with the team."?
Where are these rumors?The Bam Covid rumors have been running hot all morning.
But was he trying to say that some of the Heat players didn't return with the team and that it just wasn't due to COVID, or was he phrasing it that way because he was specifically trying to refute the "Heat players did not return with the team due to COVID" and just didn't recognize how awkward that looked?The Bam Covid rumors have been running hot all morning.
I think 39-14 and 39-18 quarters are relatively rare in the playoffs. I could be wrong.isn't this true for virtually any team? ever?
That Bam has Covid lol.Where are these rumors?
League has different tests depending on who is up in the series. They are called “The Scott Foster Tests” LolIf 2 members of the staff had COVID, the risk that some of the players have COVID seems high. Of course, remarkably, no members of the Celtics seemed to get COVID after Horford. But, maybe the NBA has some "special tests" which result in reliably negative results
I think you mean "Florida officially doesn't recognize COVID."Florida doesn’t officially recognize COVID.
Not to go V&N but I live here and that often repeated statement is about as big a fallacy as there is. Most of the larger counties had same indoor restrictions as everywhere else.Florida doesn’t officially recognize COVID.
347 followers. Need more confirmation.
He’s legit but just not very Twitter active. Nobody else has confirmed which is strange but he hasn’t taken it down either. Oh the drama!!Yeah, just 300 followers + no blue checkmark + first tweet since May 10. There's some smoke, but this just feels like a guy taking an educated guess and a chance.
Just reports that there’s optimism Time Lord plays tonight. Not much on Smart other than he’s doing a lot better but still a bit of swelling.Any announcements yet on Celtic player availability?
Yup. We really should win this by 6-10 points when you account for the home officiating edge. This team can’t hang with us unless we let them.This is really there for the taking for Boston. I’d expect the Heat will get some home cooking, especially after games 3 and 4, but this is the kind of game you’d really hope this core wins.
Otoh, maybe thats what caused him to force the issue and get so many FTs.I hope I’m wrong but I can’t help but wonder if there’s a connection between Tatum’s bad shooting performance in game 4 and his shoulder injury from game 3. If so, I’ll be nervously watching him shoot tonight.
I know it's not the same as a 3 but it didn't seem to hurt him at the line, 14 for 16.I hope I’m wrong but I can’t help but wonder if there’s a connection between Tatum’s bad shooting performance in game 4 and his shoulder injury from game 3. If so, I’ll be nervously watching him shoot tonight.
I think it is a virtual certainty. And not only is it a problem on threes, it has messed up his drives. He wouldn't be on the floor in a reg season game.I hope I’m wrong but I can’t help but wonder if there’s a connection between Tatum’s bad shooting performance in game 4 and his shoulder injury from game 3.

Five full days off would be big, especially having to travel west for the first two.They could really use the rest that would come with a close out on Friday night. Hoping Dallas can take this to six or seven as well, just to force the Warriors to play more minutes.
I think his basketball IQ is extremely highMy favorite White play of the night was that fast break where he hustled back, intercepted a dump off to Bam, jumped over the endline looking for a pass and realizing he didn't have anyone to pass to wisely held the ball. Just great hustle and great situational awareness.
MIA only scored 38 in the 2H, but that includes 2 garbage time buvkets, which means that JB and JT outscored MIA in the 2H before they got pulled.Full second half stat lines for the Jay’s.
Jaylen 19/3/1 on 8-12 shooting.
Tatum 16/8/4 on 6-11 shooting.
I love the mental toughness it shows after they both had really rough first halves, just differently. Jaylen kept turning it over, and Tatum couldn’t hit any shots. Them bouncing back like that was big time.
Ime must have served some Texas BBQ during halftime.Full second half stat lines for the Jay’s.

He's also really quick to the ball; there were at least a couple of loose balls that he came up with because he was the first one to react.I think his basketball IQ is extremely high
