He's been drawing them more or less consistently from the first game of the season. Which explains his improvement in assists and the team's 3pt%.

Like anyone else not named Giannis, he'll have the odd tough night against a good defender.

Bam looked like future Tristan Thompson at Kentucky, what great development

Miami scares me more than I'd like to admit. You look at their roster on paper and it seems decent, but not overly special. Yet watching them play, they've got something going on.

Heat look like that overachieving RS team that will get pummeled by the first superstar they face in the playoffs. They had Justice Winslow throwing up absolute garbage multiple times in crunch time this game. Playoff basketball usually comes down to talent level, Heat don't have it.

Playoffs are going to be unreal this year.

Bam went from 'yeah, I get why people like him', to '...damn.'

What’s up with Jokic this year? It can’t be all down to conditioning. He’s been so meh this year and doesn’t look to be improving.

Except they now have butler who's top 10-15 and plays big in the clutch. 2nite in OT, the first 8 points were his. If they can hang with a good team, they're a threat down the stretch.

In my opinion there were a lot of early signs that Bam was special.

Sure they have Jimmy...and role players. Bam is good also but it's not enough to hang with real contenders in a 7 game series

Man, I don't want to celebrate Harden fails, but here we are.

18-68 shooting combined between Westbrook & Harden. I’d go insane if I was another player on their roster.

Harden got Lonnie Walkered

Harden can't help but try and draw fouls on two gamewinner attempts. Wild.

Hope this season is the end of the Rockets. Morey needs to be freed to go to the Knicks.

East is strong at the top. Don’t buy all this West domination crap.

Chuck Diesel · Post #418 » by **Chuck Diesel** » Wed Dec 4, 2019 4:40 am

The west is still way better than the east as a whole. We all get to play Atlanta, Chicago, New York and all the other bottom feeders four times. The worst teams in the west (excluding GS) would all be in the east playoff hunt.

Can't believe his 1 possession per game of great post defense didn't pull that out for them.

The Westbrook trade was bad and Morey should feel bad.
