Game 35: Miami Heat (20-14) @ Phoenix Suns (18-16) | Friday | 7:00PM

If we hold on this would be a nice win. Beal has looked pretty good so far these last few games ngl. All gonna be up to the bench and those minimums.

[Revived]

Keeping hitting that gas pedal, don’t let up and make this a close game again at the end of the 4th.

Let’s get a lead big enough to rest Booker/Beal/Allen.

What happened to Nurk?

KBD is so bad. I'm hoping we can somehow package him and a few others into at least one serviceable SF/PF.

Not sure what happened to him. When I watched him on the Spurs he was a competent player on offense, it's like he's just lost all his powers. I think Vogel's inconsistent minutes are messing up the role guys rhythm on offense since Yuta has declined this season as well. But then again these guys are making it hard for Vogel to keep playing them.....

Eubanks/Okogie/KBD trio should be banned as a lineup.

Pretty much sums it up.

I prefer Beal over Booker as a primary ball handler, his handles and decision making are better IMO.

25-9-8 for Beal
20-10-5 for Book

Allen with 9 triples destroyed that zone defense. Take that for data Spo.

[Revived]

Good win. Even without Butler, this Miami team is pretty damn good so beating them is always nice.

I still can’t believe we got Bradley Beal for Chris Paul and Landry Shamet. That trade really saved our asses. Beal still has a lot of rust but is still pretty good. What a trade.

I'll never criticise the Beal deal given we gave up so little for him, we had to get something back for CP before he expired and it's not like we would have had cap space anyway if we just let CP3 walk. Beal is a borderline all star level player.

Bol Bol left arena today in crutches. He’s been refreshing to watch. Sucks that he got hurt.

He's our X factor. KD/Book will do their thing, but this title hings on Beal eating vs other teams subpar defenders and getting whatever he wants. I think he will....if he stays healthy.

Nice win, Heat are still seem like a solid team no matter who they put on the floor. Tough shooting night though.

Good game from Beal, hope we’re seeing him find his comfort zone with the Suns. Allen has been a huge pickup too. Really disappointed with the KBD pickup though, he has not looked good.

[Frank Lee]

Good win… the heat just couldn’t maintain. Expected as they were on game five on the road. Gassed, they missed a boat load of open shots. We see that getting contribution different dudes is mandatory when we are a maxman down. I still can’t get fully behind this squad as anything but an also ran. January’s games will be the teller. I’d guess we’ll be favored in half of them. Cant lose the ones we are supposed to win.

Not sure what happened to most of our bench... KDB/Yuta downright suck after having good seasons. I actually thought that at least one of them will be better surrounded with better talent than in their previous seasons.
Eubanks was (at one point) considered one of the best bench C's in the league last year. He doesn't suck as hard as the top 2, but he took a step back for sure.
I had little hopes for EG being really good from the bench, or Little benefiting from the stars getting all the attention.
Figured that one of Okogie or Goodwin will might have a better shooting season and cement their role.
Howcome NONE of these hopes materialzed, in fact pretty much the worst case scenario hit in every gddam case for every player???

(and then the big 3 injuries... i mean i was ready for some down time, but if you tell me that halfway through the season we do NOT have solid 4 games with the big 3 together, I would have laughed you off the face of the earth...)

I expect this hyperbole from you, has 2 good games and is “the X factor” lol. How’s Brad Beal btw?

Maybe KBD + our 2032-2045 first round picks and Booker for Siakam? Sounds about right Matt, doesn't it?
