    BTW....Heat fans..you are allowed to ***** about Referees today. But don;t blame them for "losing" the #1 seed. That was lost when the Heat lost to all those Bum *** teams.

    How the hell do you have the best record vs. the Top 4 teams in each conference, and somehow be back 2 games in the east and 4 to the top seed overall? Because you lose to Philly and Boston..and Detroit..and Atlanta...and Utah....etc...

    Just gotta avoid San Antonio......they are trouble for this Heat team.

    I think the Heat can beat them...but I'd rather not find out if they can, if you know what I mean.

    I fear scoring, and they can score as good as we can. Me..No...Want.

    perfect video to illustrate that Refs crew performance:

    [video=youtube;DbCpXwUhSVQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbCpXwUhSVQ&feature=youtu.be[/video]

    BTW..here is the crew:

    #13 Monty McCutchen, #56 Mark Ayotte, #36 David Jones

    Monty is interesting as a Ref:

    http://www.nbastuffer.com/2013-2014_NBA_Regular_Season_Referee_Stats.html

    His numbers suggest that he is a fence straddler, that likes to keep the calls "even" although the game may not be.....

    He is a rather benign Ref, unlike Tony Brothers (incompetent, hates the Heat) and Joey Crawford (Hates everybody), or Dan Crawford (the greatest official of all-time, a fine man, and a great american, a total credit to the profession, a prince among men, the salt of the earth).

    Not really. Not until the ECF and WCF anyway. Can we just fast forward to Miami vs Indiana and SAS vs whoever (probably OKC or Houston)

    when the Clippers get out of the 1st round we'll talk about them. To me theyre like the 5th best team in the west after SAS, OKC, GSW, Houston and Memphis (assuming they get in). Thats not including portland who certainly could beat them. Their wing players (especially without JJ Redick), are average at best. Maybe Doc will make a difference for them, I dont know but I havent liked their team set up in quite a while. They need a scorer who can isolate 1-1 in crunch time and when your best option for that is Jamal Chuckford youre not doing well. You may as well have J.R. Smith since theyre basically the same player

    Melo doesnt belong on that list. Hes not even in the top 20 for the last 10 years. You forget some of the gems we've had. Crawford and Smith dont even belong on that list when we've had Eddy Curry, Felton Spencer, and Jerome James (Being an overweight slob too out of shape to help your team is selfish), Nate Robinson, Francis, Larry Hughes Al Harrington was so selfish I used to call him Al Not Sharington (as in not sharing the ball, get it? hahahahaha), Vin Baker, Tim Thomas....the list just goes on. I can deal with a player being a little selfish if theyre good. These guys just sucked

    A 26-game losing streak is so bad it's actually impressive. With off nights, flukes and a host of other factors, you'd figure a team could steal a game or two at some point. For an idea of how long Philadelphia's streak was, here's a look at 10 things that occurred since Philadelphia's last victory on Jan. 29.

    The 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics started and finished.
    The San Antonio Spurs won 23 games
    The Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl
    Rostislav Klesla was traded twice and retired from the NHL.
    Dale Earnhardt Jr. won the Daytona 500.
    NFL teams spent more than $1 billion in free agency.
    The Chinese New Year, Groundhog Day, Valentines Day, Presidents' Day, Mardi Gras, Daylight Savings Time, St. Patrick's Day and the March equinox came and went.
    Russia annexed Crimea
    Every MLB team reported to spring training and nearly completed the exhibition schedule.
    Kevin Durant scored 883 points.

    Welcome back to the win column, Philadelphia.

    its where michael jordan was born. and furthermore, since you asked



    Brooklyn's neighborhoods are ever-changing as populations move in and out. For example, during the early to mid-20th century, Brownsville had a majority of Jewish residents; since the 1970s it has been majority African American. Midwood during the early 20th century was filled with ethnic Irish, then filled with Jewish residents for nearly 50 years, and is slowly becoming a Pakistani enclave. Brooklyn's most populous racial group, white, declined from 97.2% in 1930 to 46.9% by 1990.[31]

    With gentrification, many of Brooklyn's neighborhoods are becoming increasingly mixed, with an influx of immigrants integrating its neighborhoods. What started as a trend may now be the permanent equilibrium. Brooklyn and Queens have been a worldwide example of poor immigrants getting along most of the time, often with better results than in their home countries. Presently, they have substantial populations from many countries. The borough also attracts people previously living in other cities in the United States. Of these, most come from Chicago, Detroit, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, Boston, Cincinnati, and Seattle.[33][34][35][36][37][38][39]
    Landmark 19th-century rowhouses on tree-lined Kent Street in Greenpoint Historic District
    Park Slope
    Brooklyn Heights; 150–159 Willow Street, three original red-brick early 19th-century Federal Style houses
    Middagh Street, Brooklyn Heights

    Brooklyn contains dozens of distinct neighborhoods, representing many of the major ethnic groups found within the New York City area. The borough is home to a large African American community. Bedford-Stuyvesant is home to one of the most famous African American communities in the city, along with Brownsville, East New York, and Coney Island. "Bed-Stuy" is a hub for African American culture, often referenced in hip hop and African American arts.[citation needed] Brooklyn's African American and Caribbean communities are spread throughout much of Brooklyn.

    Brooklyn is also home to many Russians and Ukrainians, who are mainly concentrated in the areas of Brighton Beach and Sheepshead Bay. Brighton Beach features many Russian and Ukrainian businesses. Because of the large Ukrainian community, it has been nicknamed "Little Odessa." However, recently, it has been renamed to "Little Russia" because of the overwhelming presence of the Russian population. Originally these were mostly Jews, however, now it is the Russian and Ukrainian communities of Brighton Beach that represent various aspects of Russian and Ukrainian culture.
    The Brooklyn Chinatown (布鲁克林華埠 唐人街) in Sunset Park.

    Bushwick is the largest hub of Brooklyn's Hispanic American community. Like other neighborhoods in New York City, Bushwick's Hispanic population is mainly Puerto Rican, with many Dominicans and peoples from several South American nations as well. As nearly 80% of Bushwick's population is Hispanic, its residents have created many businesses to support their various national and distinct traditions in food and other items. Sunset Park's population is 42% Hispanic, made up of these various ethnic groups. Brooklyn's main Hispanic groups are Puerto Ricans, Salvadorans, Dominicans, and Panamanians, they are spread out throughout the borough. Puerto Ricans, Salvadorans and Dominicans are predominant in Bushwick, Sunset Park, Williamsburg, and East New York. While Mexicans are predominant in Sunset Park and Panamanians in Crown Heights.

    Italian Americans are mainly concentrated in the neighborhoods of Bensonhurst, Dyker Heights and Bay Ridge, where there are many Italian restaurants and pizzerias. Italian Americans live throughout most of southern Brooklyn, including Bath Beach, Gravesend, Marine Park, Mill Basin, and Bergen Beach. The Carroll Gardens area, as well as the northern half of Williamsburg, also have long-standing Italian-American communities.

    Orthodox Jews and Hasidic Jews have become concentrated in Borough Park, Williamsburg, and Flatbush, where there are many yeshivas, synagogues, and kosher delicatessens, as well as many other Jewish businesses. Kosher restaurants, synagogues, Jewish schools and yeshivas can be found all over New York City, and many parts as well as in Brooklyn. Other notable religious Orthodox and Hasidic Jewish neighborhoods are Kensington, Midwood, Canarsie, Sea Gate, and Crown Heights. Many hospitals in Brooklyn were started by Jewish charities, including Maimonides Medical Center in Borough Park and Brookdale Hospital in Brownsville.[40][41] Many non-religious Jews are concentrated in Ditmas Park, Windsor Terrace and Park Slope. Brooklyn's Polish are largely concentrated in Greenpoint, which is home to Little Poland. They are also scattered throughout the southern parts of Brooklyn.
    Brooklyn is a major center for Orthodox Judaism and is about 23% Jewish overall.[42]

    Brooklyn's West Indian community is concentrated in the Crown Heights, Flatbush, East Flatbush, Kensington, and Canarsie neighborhoods in central Brooklyn. Brooklyn is home to one of the largest communities of West Indians outside of the Caribbean, being rivaled only by Toronto, Miami, Montreal,and London. Although the largest West Indian groups in Brooklyn are mostly Jamaicans, Guyanese and Haitians, there are West Indian immigrants from nearly every part of the Caribbean. Crown Heights and Flatbush are home to many of Brooklyn's West Indian restaurants and bakeries. The West Indian Labor Day Parade, takes place every Labor Day on Eastern Parkway.

    Brooklyn's Greek Americans live throughout the borough, but their businesses today are concentrated in Downtown Brooklyn near Atlantic Avenue. Greek-owned diners, like El-Greco on Sheepshead Bay, are also throughout the borough, but many Greeks have re-located off of Atlantic Avenue due to demographic shift.

    Chinese Americans live throughout the southern parts of Brooklyn, in Sunset Park, Bath Beach, Bensonhurst, Gravesend, and Homecrest. The largest concentration is in Sunset Park along 8th Avenue, which is known for Chinese culture. It is called "Brooklyn's Chinatown". Many Chinese restaurants can be found throughout Sunset Park, and the area hosts a popular Chinese New Year celebration.

    Irish Americans can be found throughout Brooklyn, in low to moderate concentrations in the neighborhoods of Bay Ridge, Marine Park, Gerritsen Beach, and Vinegar Hill. Many moved east on Long Island in the mid-twentieth century.

    Today, Arab Americans and Pakistanis along with other Muslim communities have moved into the southwest portion of Brooklyn, particularly to Bay Ridge, where there are many Middle Eastern restaurants, hookah lounges, halal shops, Islamic shops and mosques. Coney Island Avenue is home to Little Pakistan as Church Avenue is to Bangladeshis. Jay Street Borough Hall (Downtown Brooklyn) is little Arabia. Pakistani Independence Day is celebrated every year with parades and parties on Coney Island Avenue. Earlier, the area was known predominately for its Irish, Norwegian, and Scottish populations. There are also many Middle Eastern, particularly Yemeni, businesses, mosques, and restaurants on Atlantic Avenue west of Flatbush Avenue, near Brooklyn Heights.

    Disgraceful loss against the Cavs today. I get mental fatigue for a game like the Heat that's been to the summit the last few years but it's weird to see a team like the Pacers that are supposed to be hungry not be able to sustain energy.

    they dont want it bad enough. even their coach looks lost right now. if the pacers are matched up with the bobcats in the playoffs, i'll take al jefferson and kemba walker right now. i cannot believe how bad the pacers have looked for over a month. they dont even look like a playoff team.

    Nothing to do with not wanting it bad enough. They can't score.

    You win championships by scoring in the last 5 minutes of games. Pacers struggle to score.

    Oddly enough, the Atlanta hawks give the Pacers trouble. I like the Bobcats a lot, but I really can't see anybody beating Indy till they get to the ECF's.
