Miami Heat getting absolutely shanked to death before our eyes.

I loathe Butler and seeing a Miami team that was in complete cap hell get good luck and find two supposedly future young stars in Herro and Bam was aggravating!! Now everything is back to normal again and people are seeing they Are NOT stars and Miami is back on the threadmill in cap hell.

Butler is on the wrong side of 30, they don't have a lot of time before he may fall off, if this series is a disaster, it may be time Miami starts looking in another direction. Butler probably has a 2-3 year window of being a high-level guy, they need to do something drastic soon.

Man RoCo is severely underused with the Blazers

Jokic scores so easily around the basket. Compare that to KAT who seems like he has to battle through every paint shot, it's like he is just on cruise control and very few players are big enough to bother him.

i'm enjoying Jimmy and Miami struggling way too much.

KAT spazzes out down there. Should be easy to change. Should. When he gets the ball he needs to stand tall, keep it high, and toss it in. That’s it.

He’s way too fearful of contact, yet over seeks fouls.

Just needs some coaching / awareness / poise.

Maybe but I think a lot of is strength and size. Jokic is a really big dude, very few players severely obstruct his view. I think Towns has to fight a lot a more with people in his strength/size range. That said he doesn't have the benefit of great team movement to rely on either so it's probably a little easier for Jokic to chill and assees as he guys making awesome cuts, moves.

Jokic tosses it in over guys.

KAT doesn’t do that too much.

He should tho.

Jokic also shoots the ball behind / over his head (you know what I mean).

KAT doesn’t really do that. It’s from his forehead, so to speak.

You can learn to do these things so they’re available when you need them.

I’m expecting Booker, Ayton and Paul will each have 4 fouls by the start of the 2nd Quarter if the NBA has anything to say about it.

Celtics looking bleh, I don't know how they get back to contending for a title. There are a few team that seem kind of stuck, could be blowing it up soon.

It’s crazy to me that Devin Booker is Melvin Booker’s son. Melvin was a significant college basketball player for a couple of seasons in the mid-90’s. One of those guys who you completely forget about until you hear their name again 20 years later.

Devin Booker totally choked in the fourth today, half his points from the free throw line.

I think the wolves should be able to unload Ricky Easily plenty of desperate teams need a PG like him, celtics, bulls, Heat, etc

The Clippers with a disastrous start to the series. Man.

Post #80 » by **Calinks** » Wed May 26, 2021 5:36 am

Clippers going to offer us Paul George and a first for McDaniels just so they can compete with Luka.
