ASK IRA: Is there any wiggle room left for Heat in the East race?

Q: So what’s the subsequent huge recreation for the Warmth? – Victor.

A: At this level, there's a straightforward reply: regardless of the subsequent recreation is on the schedule. For the Warmth, there is no such thing as a wiggle room on this race to attempt to keep away from the play-in spherical. In order that makes Tuesday evening in Toronto the subsequent huge recreation. Adopted by Wednesday in New York. Sure, a victory towards the Knicks would give the Warmth that tiebreaker, so in essence that may depend double towards the Knicks. However it wouldn’t carry any extra weight within the race towards the Nets than another victory. So win, win, win. After which win some extra (all whereas lamenting the best way too many ones that bought away, comparable to Saturday).

Q: Ira, shouldn’t Bam Adebayo be dominating down the stretch? Does 16 factors and 7 rebounds look like efficiency for the second-highest paid participant on the group? It seems to be like he’s afraid of the basket. – Brian, Miami Shores.

A: Or is it a case of watch out of what you would like for? Bam Adebayo needed extra photographs this season, and has gotten them. He additionally has performed a profession excessive in minutes. And he has not been the identical participant over the second half of the season. I wouldn’t essentially say an excessive amount of too quickly. However to really be at that by no means stage means producing within the largest moments.

Q: Undoubtedly onerous to get a learn on this group. – Douglas.

A: Ya suppose? It’s nearly as if there's a lack of killer intuition. To do what they did towards the Knicks, to get the outcomes they then wanted within the playoff race, after which to break down towards the Nets reveals that it is a group constantly able to producing inconsistency.
