Playoffs?! Playoffs?!

You talkin about playoffs?! Playoffs?! I just wanna win a game!

That was seriously god-awful. Now maybe Pat Riley and the Heat can stop pretending like this team can even sniff the final playoff spot. Even without Kevin Garnett or Ray Allen, the Celtics absolutely dominated this game from the outset. With Wade under the weather and Haslem spraining his ankle, this team didn't stand a chance.

Thankfully I only sat through a few minutes of this one, because it got ugly quick and got worse late. The Celtics outperformed the Heat in every single category there exists in basketball, and then some. I suppose Mark Blount's effort was a plus for Miami in that he has displayed his ability to contribute on some level offensively. Maybe unloading his contract won't be that difficult.

However, aside from Blount and Luke Jackson (who had a shocking 4-5 night from the 3 point line), there was nothing positive that came from this blowout. Dwyane struggled from the field and was mercifully given the night off in the 3rd quarter. Daequan Cook seems to have hit a rookie wall and has begun to regress a bit. Hopefully he'll be able to get back on track sometime soon. He will have to be a key component of the Heat's future.

Thankfully, this loss was paired with a Seattle victory, so Miami has regained the 2nd worst position in the NBA. Minnesota's loss to Chicago keeps them a game and a half ahead of the Heat for the most lottery balls in the draft. Go T-Wolves.
