Cleveland had a hard time competing with Miami again, especially when LeBron was off the floor. The wine and gold were outscored by 22 in the 9 minutes\u00a0LeBron was on the bench.<\/p>\n<p>LeBron finished with \u00a030 points, 17 rebounds, six assists, and +14 in 39 minutes. Kyrie dropped 32, seven, and three, but was complicit in the Cavs&#8217; complete inability to stop the pick-and-roll or basic dribble penetration (his teammates weren&#8217;t much better). The Heat dissected them and dove and kicked all night. Dion pitched a 24 point first half and finished with 29 and five dimes while Goran Dragic dropped 21 and six. Wayne Ellington chipped in 18, and the Heat finished with five guys in double figures.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;d think with the Cavs winning the rebound\u00a0battle 52-38, they&#8217;d have won this one, but they lost the turnover war\u00a017-7, missed 10 free throws, and watched Miami go 16-35 from three while only hitting 9-27 themselves. They did cut the lead late , but Miami was in control for most of the game.<\/p>\n<p>John Krolik and\u00a0Nate Smith hopped in the podcast booth to recap\u00a0the game, the Andrew Bogut&#8217;s broken tibia,\u00a0what it means for the Cavs, and where they go now. They also talked aout the league&#8217;s worst defense since the all-star break, and asked the hard hitting quetions. What happened to the Death Lineup\/Wildcat Offense? Is Deron Williams helping or hurting? Is Derrick Williams? How badly do the Cavs miss J.R. Smith and Kevin Love? Will they be able to re-integrate quickly? Who does Cleveland want to avoid in the first round? And what&#8217;s up with Shump?<\/p>\n<p>Around the league, the MVP race weighed heavy, Are the Heat a playoff team? What does the Durant injury mean for the Warriors? Are the Heat a playoff team, and, of course, how weird is Saint Weirdo (Dion Waiters)?<\/p>\n<p>As always, we can be heard above, on the Allmighty Baller&#8217;s Podcast Network, <a
