He was on pace to go to the game then he had a falling out with the coaches, banishment, etc

Next year he can make it I guess...

PG in the NBA takes time. I like the kid. I wish he had someone to learn from.

Oh.. I see. They should invite cole to bring down the competition so that Matthew will have a chance.

Best game in a long time for Bazz.

Despite all the turnovers, looked good tonight. Those turnovers though. Gotta be more careful with the ball.

This game, besides the TOs, its how he needs to play. Being aggressive. Him and Rio.

He looked like himself, which is knocking down 3's

AND he was efficient, something he has been struggling with. Hope it continues.

I mean it was the Knicks lmao, but regardless for a rookie nice to see

Very aggressive tonight and it showed in the box score. He's at his best when he's going off instinct and not overthinking.

Just ease back on the turnovers. :lol:

his TO avg will go up after tonight.. but it's not really that bad considering his PT and the fact that he is a rookie.

before tonight:

NAP 21 MPG 1.6 TO
Dragic rookie year 13 MPG 1.3 TO

Nap's TO has been increasing since he came back from the D-League, and he needs to get better. But all in all, it's not as bad as it seems at all.

The turnovers sucked tonight and against a better team it would have been disastrous. Still, Napier deserves credit. He played well - scoring and helping others score. I thought his defense improved too.

Johnson's game tonight was excellent. I love this guy's drive and determination. He is a pesky defender and has enormous self-confidence. His athleticism is impressive.

My favorite tonight was Chalmers. Man, it has to be said, the guy played with so much heart.

This was the Heat's love letter to Chris Bosh. Get better, Chris! We need you!

after the TO around the 3 mins mark he came back w/ more pep in his step - far more aggressive. He is much better when he plays balls to the wall rather than chill and cool. More aggressiveness/passion from the youngen

The entire team worked really hard yesterday. Well NYK is just a terrible team. I'm happy Napier is believing more on his shot! Good to see that.

The Knicks are worse than a Dleague team without Melo and Amare.

This game shows nothing.

Very interesting 1st half by Napier

So after beating a d-league backcourt, he cant handle the worst backup point guard in NBA :nonono: :nonono: :nonono:
