I’m loving this game tonight – Heat should be tired tomorrow. Plus there’s at least a decent chance Butler’s still out against us too.

The Heat are lucky that Markieff Morris wasn’t suspended for that cheap shot on Jokic — Morris should have been suspended one game as well.

That’s pretty heavy news. Hope he won’t be there many games. He could get hurt over there too so that’s kind of a gamble.

Heat playing all their guys. Must be figuring to go full out to get this one tonite vs. LBJ less lakes. Maybe they figure we’re the tougher foe right now.

Serge sent to Agua Caliente? Are they just trying to get him more minutes in games that don’t matter to help w/ his conditioning? It’s weird to me that they didn’t just start w/ him there to begin w/, but maybe he was rustier than the team anticipated.

Gotta take the bad with the good when it comes to PG but the good can sometimes be historic. Accept this fact of life and the frustration level will be tolerable. But I will say that Ty Lue is a “PG can do no wrong” type of coach — just like Vogel with LeBron. If PG carelessly turned the ball over in succession, I’d bench him. But that’s just me.

i also defo do not accept pgs turnovers; they are by far the most frustrating part of his game, and sometimes he gets so careless with the ball, it kills me

Speaking of Winslow and those two turnovers, before that he had made a couple of nice plays, showing a glimmer of hope that he won’t be a complete loss. Use you now and then is right.

I’m pretty much with you on that. Both of Bleds two made 3s last nite were relatively open with plenty of time to square up and he shot the ball confidently, without hesitation. I think Bled is probably a better natural shooter than TM, form wise at least. Hitting those shots were big –just don’t go off half cocked.

One other thing: I’ve bashed Zu a bit lately but one of his plays last nite showed me that he took one of PGs comments to heart. And that was for Zu to rip that ball away from the other guy and hold onto it like there’s no tomorrw. You all remember that play, I’m sure. Showing improved determination.

We are 10-games into the infamous TL sample size, and of course, right on cue, Bled has a decent performance last night. Noting that TMann is getting four more minutes than Bled, and noting the positive numbers contributed by the TMann/Nard/Hart trio, I’m falling off the “Start TMann” wagon a bit. What I would like to see is a bigger minutes differential, with TMann coming into to spot sub Bled as needed, and giving him at least two extra minutes per game than what Bled is getting. A starting lineup with TMann vs. Bled is not as big of a deal in my mind if Bled can begin to approach career-average shot making numbers. Since Reggie’s shot has returned and Batum is playing/shooting at a high level, he should simply not be a top option on offense anyway.
