It's still early, but Bryant ain't it.

Hope he has a better second half of the year
Long Live Winnie. Mamba siempre

I think hes doing well. Hes much more difficult to guard now.

Yes he is but sometimes the lane is too congested and he forces the shot. I just hope he gets to know when it is there or not.

We keep sending too much help on defense and why did Spo go away from Love after such a great start?

Good half from Heat considering they pretty much undersized in each positions vs Clips except maybe for Powell. I think they get steamed rolled in the 3rd quarter and Clips win.
It's just a tough matchup going against Clips with 3 of your best wing defenders out.

Norman Powell is auto at the 3 right now.
Sucks-seems Heat is always playing 4v5 with one of the players being no threat on O. Clips are too hard to defend to not have 5 constant threats on the floor.

Got some bad news to report. A doc buddy of mine that works closely with the team has told me that Jimmy has plantar fasciitis. This is why he slowed down last year towards the end of the playoffs and this is why he is playing pretty mediocre to start this season.

Imo plantar fasciitis is one of the worse things you can have as a basketball player and imo Jimmy is now damaged goods

Cain is not an NBA everyday rotational player lol, too bad everyone is injured.
Herro seems to be putting the load on his back feeling no one besides Bam can create their shot, and it is a direct result of JJJ and Cain struggling, and unfortunately for the Heat Herro is not Wade lol.

Nah, I think he has been struggling with this since before signing with Li-Ning.

To be fair plantar fasciitis isn't a death sentence. Could definitely be worse. Lots of players have dealt with it. I also doubt that was the case last year in the finals and it still being the case to start the season. It would have been easily treated in the off-season.

Plantar usually brings calves muscles issues because of how an athlete will compensate on his feet, putting stress on the calve muscles. makes a ton of sense now how he was struggling with calve issues.

Plantar isn’t something you can just “treat” in a few months. It can improve for some time, then out of no where, in the middle of a game it will come back, and stay there. It’s painful, and usually you can play through the discomfort, especially early in the game. But as the game goes on, soon as he sits/ halftime comes around it will start to ache like a mf again.
