League helped a lot with the scheduling here. Miami is in the middle of just a BRUTAL road trip west, played last night and got embarrassed after being stretched to OT of course... of course. Their four main guys averaged over 40 minutes last night lol. They've now lost 3 in a row. This is, however, the only winnable game for them on that entire trip besides the opening HOU win (tonight is Miami's fifth game in 8 days, Feb. 11-18, first and only b2b on this 12 day trip). They're mad, sure, but also just totally busted up. Looks like a nice gambling dilemma if folks are into that? No idea, but that's often the sole motivation for games being played at all besides any TV deal obligations it seems, in this year of no fan revenue.
A loss tonight is a coffin nail for Walton for sure, if the team is competently run toward progress.
