The Miami Globetrotters

All that was missing tonight was a bucket of water.
65 points at the half, 98 points at the end of 3.  The most potent offense in the league, the Miami Heat, was on fire tonight, scorching the Phoenix Suns 99-124.

When they are on (and playing a sub-par team), it's like watching the Globetrotters playing the Generals.

Oh what could have been.... The year that Michael Beasley went number two overall to the Heat, Blake Griffin decided to stay in school for one more year.  Beasley never quite caught on in Miami and was traded away to make room for Mike Miller.  LBJ, Griffin, Bosh, Wade, and Allen..... Oh what could have been.  (Or the then last-place Heat could have just drafted Derrick Rose if they landed the first pick overall as their record deserved.)  Beasley, playing for the Suns now, is still looking to reach his potential five years later.

Is there anything better than watching the Heat pass around the horn to an open player for three?  Five touches on a possession is not uncommon.

Great offensive show tonight.  Effortless.

Wade and UD showing flashes of the good ole days. Wade playing an acrobatic game shooting 9-14, and Haslem slipping down the lane in several give-and-gos and scoring a season high 12.

Ray in the corner during fast breaks is deadly.  Twice tonight.

A missed sky hook from LBJ.  He finally broke it out.  The King wound up with a "ho-hum" double-double.

Here in Miami, everyone loves Raymond.  Great line by Eric Reid.

2 more blocks for Bosh.  This'll be his career year for blocks.

Really didn't like the way Wade came down on his shoulder in the third on his pretty and-one.  Assuming that's going to linger.

Mario with 11 assists, 1 turnover, 3-3 from 3, 3 steals, and a block.  The kids is really becoming a player by limiting his mistakes.

15-26 from three.  49 rebounds. 33 assists, 15 turnovers.  Amazing offense.  Amazing depth.  Wow.

3-1
