THIS Happens When You're NOT Ready For The Playoffs...
Join me on RateGame: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6477869711?pt=126905374&ct=Heat%20Check%201&mt=8 The playoffs are skyrocketing with wild endings, and ludicrous individual games. So we gotta start with the absolute crazy finish between the Thunder and the Pelicans. New Orleans were of course without Zion but they were able to hang in this game mainly because the young and inexperienced OKC guys couldn’t really put them away. And not only that but this is a chance to go up by 4 in the final minutes… Hold on you gotta rewind that. Nance had his dunk rimming out and missing a golden opportunity here unbelievable. At this moment the Thunder are 5 minutes without a field goal, and the crowd is anxious. So OKC goes to Shai to try and fix things… This sets up one of the wildest offensive sequences that I’ve seen in the clutch with a bunch of completely wide open looks… This madness was only stopped by a shot clock malfunction, so when they return, we have yet another chance for New Orleans to take the lead… Woooow what a block by Chet preventing what would have been a sure bucket. And this opens up the opportunity on the other end… Yeaah look at him ice cold look after the crucial bucket and the foul. And of course he knocks it in. But on the other end, it’s CJ Mccollum with a quick response from the baseline to get this game back down to 1. Aaand with all the pressure in the world on him, the rookie Holmgren misses the first at the line as the drama continues. So down by 2 and 14 seconds to go, the Pelicans have one last try to tie or take the lead. And this is where the chaos ensues. Oh my goodness…inches away from the win, OKC survives in a frenetic finish and takes the lead in this series. This is RateGame, an app that I’m a part of, and the users on there rated this game at 8.8 which is the highest so far for these playoffs. Amazing. Moving on to a highly anticipated matchup between the Clippers and the Mavs, we saw two former MVPs on one side turning back the clock and dominating the game, and on the other, a team that was ranked 3rd in made 3’s during the regular season went 2 for 18 from deep in the first half. Dallas simply couldn’t hit anything in the first half, like there was some kind of a lid on the rim. They went 9 for 41 from the field, that’s 22% shooting, this sounds more like some celebrity contest efficiency, not like an NBA contender. Scoring just 8 points in the 2nd quarter they fell into a 26 point hole at the break. And as the saying goes, you can’t win a basketball game in the first half, but you can certainly lose one. This is what concerns me about the Mavericks in this series, the entire offensive load is on Luka and Kai, and when they both have a bad shooting game like they did in the first half, it’s game over. There is no real 3rd option who can hold the team competitive when the top guys are struggling. For them to even have a chance of moving past the Clippers, players like P.J. Washington and Tim Hardaway must step up scoring wise. On the other side, the Clippers were missing Kawhi Leonard, and their second best man in Paul George started the game struggling himself. But this team is so deep, that they have multiple guys who can win games by themselves. And last night it was Harden. The beard was cooking at the start, hitting his first 4 shots from downtown. He was hitting stepback 3’s, driving inside for some of his signature floaters, and even drawing fouls like it was 2017. Another key player in this game was Ivica Zubac, who was feasting inside the paint, especially in the 1st quarter. Zubac had a monster game with 20 PTS and 15 REB on 58.8% shooting. There wasn’t a single guy on the other side that coach Kidd could put on him in order to contain him. Luka and Kyrie tried their best in the 2nd half, hitting some incredible shots to push for a possible comeback, as they both finished with 30+ point games, but the rest of their teammates combined for only 33 points on 27.7% shooting, and that was the story of the game as the Clippers won game 1, and are looking to take a commanding 2-0 lead on tuesday when they meet again. I thought I was low on this game, rating it a 5.4 but it got an average of 4.1 Anyway moving on to the Bucks and the Pacers where I thought that Indi would be able to steal this game without Giannis. But just watch these shots: Wooow I don’t know if I’ve ever seen so many bad misses. The Pacers shot 3 for 18 from downtown in the first half. That’s a miserable 16%. And look at how wide open a lot of these were. Without a doubt it’s the nerves that got to this young and inexperienced team in the playoff opener. They were a 37 and a half percent three point shooting team for the season, no way you miss this many open looks. And on the other end it was the complete opposite as Damian Lillard went out of control: Dame exploded for 35 points in the first half, going blistering hot 11 for 19 from the field and 6 for 10 from downtown.

There Was A STAGGERING Turn Of Events In The Play-In…
Support by buying my NBA T-Shirts: https://heatcheck.info/ Nobody could have predicted a scenario where the home crowd is booing their own team in the middle of a crucial game like this. And to be able to turn things around and come back from that is even more insane. You knew that this was going to be a wild ride right from the beginning when Miami imposed their own playing style and made this a complete slugfest full of tough shots and turnovers. And of course Miami came into this game with their famous zone defense that completely disrupted the offensive flow for Philadelphia, and at times the Sixers looked absolutely clueless on offense. Everything seemed to be going according to the plan for the Heat, until a frightening moment took place, dropping the hearts of Miami fans. Despite being in obvious pain, Butler once again displays the determination of a true warrior and continues playing as if nothing happened. And Miami executes their plan to perfection forcing Philly into a 6 for 23 shooting in the second quarter. A horrific 26%. This allowed them to open up a twelve point lead at halftime despite shooting below average themselves. With Maxey and Embiid at only 3 for 9 and 2 for 8 from the field, and the crowd booing their own team- things were looking grim for the Sixers. And it went from bad to worse in the third quarter when… But then, seemingly out of nowhere, unlikely heroes step up for Philly… And then the crowd exploded because… The role players completely turn this game around in the blink of an eye, led by Nick Batum who knocked down 3 threes in this period. And now, with the crowd back on their side, and them getting back into the game, we’re in for a dog fight in the 4th quarter. And with the defensive gameplan being centered around Joel Embiid, Philly needed the rest of the team to step up when it matters the most, and boy, Nick Batum continued to do that. Unbelievable, Batum is saving the season for Philadelphia in the crucial moments of the game. The Sixers now have all the momentum in the 4th quarter, but just when they thought that they were close to the win… With Butler clearly being affected by the injury, Tyler went hero mode scoring 16 points in the 4th quarter single handedly keeping the Heat in this game. And with the game tied up in the final minute, Miami’s smothering defense seemingly has the Sixers right where they want them, buuut…. Finally, Philly figures it out at the most important time of the game, giving them the lead at the end. But then, things really escalate because… Wooow Nick Batum comes up huge once again to send the arena into a frenzy and give his team the opportunity to make this a 2 possession game. As it turns out, this would seal the deal for Philadelphia as their clutch free throw shooting kept Miami at distance in the final seconds, and secured the win for them. From boos to cheers, what a shocking turnaround as they now go to the playoffs against the Knicks, and Miami’s valiant effort falls short and they face off against the winner of Chicago and Atlanta. And speaking of that, this do or die game started out as a back and forth battle until the final minutes of the first quarter when the Bulls decided to go ballistic and with a furious run. The Bulls storm out to an 18 point lead in the first, but now comes the spectacle, as the Bulls shot 59% from the field in the second quarter and in any other game they would probably build onto their lead. Only thing is… As shocking as it sounds, Atlanta outmatched Chicago’s shooting with a stunning 69 and a half percent as they seemingly couldn’t miss and cut the deficit all the way to 3 Despite Trae Young’s slow first half going 1-5 and 10 points, he made his presence felt and made great plays to find his teammates Coming back from an 18 point deficit, you would think that the momentum is now on Atlanta’s side in the third. And it was a tight game until… The Bulls go on another crazy run in the third quarter absolutely shutting down Atlanta, while shooting 65% from the field themselves. And they blow this game open when So, coming down to the finish line, in front of their fans, all the Bulls have to do now is take care of business in the 4th And Coby White definitely did that He was unstoppable, scoring 14 points in the final period for a stunning 42, 9 and 6 for the game The win was never in doubt in the final 12 minutes as Chicago knock out the Hawks and go for the final play in game against the Heat. And with the latest news that Jimmy Butler would miss several weeks with an MCL injury, this is a golden opportunity for Chicago to advance to the playoffs for a matchup against the juggernaut Boston Celtics. Admittedly, even if they make it there, this would be mission impossible for the Bulls, but still the playoffs would come as a reward for their persistence throughout the season and not giving up when they could clearly do that, especially after Zach Lavine announced that he’ll miss the rest of the season
