You know, being the #3 guy on the Heat for 3 years has made me forget that Bosh is good enough to lead a team of role players to victory, after all it was what he did the entire time he was Toronto's #1 guy. This isn't even the first big shot he's made in a game sans Wade and James:

@christomasson: It is official the Miami Heat will incur no discipline from the NBA for sitting 3 starters out Sunday

@christomasson: It is official the Miami Heat will incur no discipline from the NBA for sitting 3 starters out Sunday I think the NBA is purposely trying to make Miami Heat look like the bad guys. As if they weren't seen as that already when the "Big 3" formed back in 2010. Fine the Spurs but not the Heat? I didn't think San Antonio should have got penalized in the first place for sitting out their starters against Miami.

The Pacers are unbelievably lucky to have avoided a monumental collapse against the Clippers.
One of the more overrated potential 2 seed in years. They need to hope and pray they don't draw Boston round 1.

They need to hope and pray they don't draw Boston round 1. As a Pacers fan,I'm honestly not worried about anyone in the East other than the Heat. I think the Pacers can beat them all. Now I'm not saying someone can't upset them but I'm confident in the way they're playing. They've won 5 games in a row including wins over 3 teams that will be in the playoffs. I think they're fine.

Speaking of the playoffs, I just want to say I don't buy into the East as 'Miami's gonna crush everyone.'
In the playoffs, it's a whole new ball game.
What if Miami misses their shot, and a Boston/Milwaukee lights it up, wins a game, Heat ger nervous?
I mean, we've seen 3 1 seeds go down in the last 6 years.
If Jennings/Redick/Ellis can hit from outside and Miami's 3-point shooters go cold, they could be in for a rough go.
I simply refuse to act like Miami's so untouchable in the East.

LeBron Face. So much lulz. Until he ran into the Bulls and started crying to the press about their physical defense.

This is the NBA pretty much throwing it in the fans and everyone else's face that no matter what the Heat does, they simply will not be punished, simply because they are the money makers who bring the ratings and have the superstars in Wade and Lebron. That's all this represents.

Because the Spurs knew the plan all along was to sit the starters and didn't give the NBA heads up so they could switch the national game. This was made with less planning if I could defend the NBA.

Then the NBA needed to come right out and say exactly that then, because now it looks really suspect when then Heat get away with it (it looks like) 2 games in a row

We got depth, and we survived something that we usually struggle at, which is the West Coast trip. Other than against Miami, I feel confident with this team.

And David Stern and Popovich hate each other for some reason. He was probably looking for any excuse he could to fine him and this was one he could get away with. Though with Lebron, Wade, and Chalmers being out tonight, I guess they just have some nagging injuries to deal with.

But, my problem is, that even though Sacramento may have embraced the Kings, shouldn't Kansas City have some say as well as Seattle? I mean, the franchise did start there in KC. I'm also pissed that no NBA teams are originally from California. And that the Warriors refuse to be associated with Oakland, even though it's been their home since the 70s. Calling them Golden State just sounds stupid, and hopefully will go away when they move back to San Francisco. Also, the race for the 8 seed in the west should come down to the final day of the regular season. Should be mediocre exciting.

Hopefully with those 3 out, the Knicks can get an easy victory tonight.
