J.D. Skeets

They're pretty much everybody's second favorite team right now.

Meanwhile, the heat are playing experts.

They've gone to the finals through the play in tournament.

They got a lot of postseason experience and,

You look at the 7-8 teams, it's Orlando, who we've talked about, feels just completely demoralized, ready for the season to be over.

Philadelphia doesn't have Embiid right now, so they're going to be starting Bona, probably, in a playoff series.

It feels like the Heat and Hornets would have a better chance of making some noise in a first-round series than either of those teams will.

So this, to me, is the choice Eastern Conference play-in game.

I agree.

Do you think Purple Shirt Guy will be in attendance?

Ooh, wow.

That's a callback for those OGs out there when they played in a heat.

That's right.

That's right.

A guy in a purple dress shirt with a backpack on heckling away against Wade in the heat.

I don't know.

Will he be there?

Yeah, I'm with you, though.

I'm excited about this one.

I'll tell you what.
