They lost to Detroit on a buzzer-beater 3 from Cade Cunningham, after Detroit trailed most of the game. This is the first time Spoelstra has ever lost nine straight games.
That was a terrible trade when it happened. Miami's hands were tied due to Jimmy's demand and his high salary. But that trade has put them in a place no team wants to be. Bad, but not bad enough. Also one with some high salaried players but no # 1 type players. Miami has made miracles happen before, but I think Riley's magic is over. They probably need someone younger in there. You know they were eyeing Luka down the road. I think that boat has sailed though.
