TMAC had a 10 year stretch were he averaged 24/6/5. Yes, his career was cut short at 30 because of injuries, but if he had went to college would we still be talking about how he doesn't deserve the hall of fame based on a strong 10 year career.

I think the best answer is Steph Curry. He may be able to shoot 60% from 3 playing PG for the Heat. I don't think they're really interested in a big who can't space the floor. And they already have Birdman to play that Tyson Chandler role for 15-20min....

The ECF will start on Wednesday regardless of what happens in Game 6. They would have started on Monday if the Pacers had won tonight. So the Heat will end up with 6 days off. Wade had 11 days off between the first and second round, and it didn't seem to help. My understanding is the bruise is signi...
