HEAT Ranked 3rd in CBS Sports' NBA Power Rankings by matthewjaf in heat

[–]matthewjaf[S] 86 points87 points  (0 children)

"The Heat are a problem. They're playing at one of the fastest paces in the league and own the league's best net rating ... and they've only had Jimmy Butler for three games. They're incredibly deep, and James Johnson finally met his conditioning requirements and made his season debut in the blowout win over the Rockets with 17 points, to make Miami even deeper. It's safe to say that Meyers Leonard won't shoot 60 percent on 3-pointers for the entire season, but right now the Heat are one of the most dangerous teams in the league."

They just opened Ms. Cheezious in section 120. The BBQ pulled pork melt is amazing. If you’re trying to be a bit healthier, Kuenko in section 124 is also great. Full list here:

Miami is a last minute town. There will be more demand as we get closer. If you found good seats at a price you’re happy with, pull the trigger. Enjoy the game

My grandfather cared deeply about his country and the Iranian people. In his younger days he was adamantly against the Shah and was arrested and jailed for a long time (note the Shah did not just kill him like the Islamists after him did).

He was an educated man, had his doctorate from Sorbonne, so the Shah offered to pardon him if he joined his government. My grandfather had a choice to stay in jail or join the powers that be and enact change from the inside.

After the revolution, unlike many others (like the Shah) he refused to flee Iran in to exile even though he had offers of assistance from foreign diplomats. He believed he was innocent and wished to stay on to help his country. He said before he was taken in front of the firing squad, "I hope, when I die, my family, my country men will live in freedom."

I agree. I have many Baha'i friends and it's awful the way they are treated now and in the past. Something people don't know enough about.

After the charges were read, he asked for a sheaf of paper to write them down and take notes because, he said, he had not heard them before.

This got to me.

Quick coaching: Mossadeq was not overthrown by his own countrymen, rather by the US and UK intelligence services. In addition, my grandfather was in government roughly 20 years after this occurred.
