GT: Heat @ Nets PT II, 1/25/21 7:30 pm EST

[Hello Brooklyn]

Only 85 points tonight. We needed this type of defensive effort badly.

It's like the Nets were playing with it's food until the last 5mins of the 4th Q and decided to blow out the Heat. Wow, that was incredible. Need more of that.

[NyCeEvO]

Finally they play up to their level. Christ

Lol You think they care about the regular season? This is practice.

Seeding race is tight in the East. These games matter, we have no idea what will happen as the season goes on.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the playoffs are in a bubble again. Vaccine distribution and inoculation is going much slower than anticipated.

Harden needs to give us at least two quarters a night where he stops passing. He gave Miami a clean edge up in the 4th

[gmoney411]

Hes so good its almost unreal that he stopped doing this.

He's taking it to the extreme but this is kind of what you want to see from Harden. He's an automatic bucket and doesn't need help. Now is the time for him to figure out how to get good looks for his teammates.

One of his biggest downfalls in Houston was being too tired at the end of games. If he can rest and facilitate early he can dominate to close it out like he did today.

I agree but we are 1.5 games from the #1 seed. 11 wins to Philly’s 12. Two behind in the loss column.

We just need to continue to win through struggles. We can get the top seed in a week or two.

The way we contained Duncan Robinson to 1-10 is the key.

1% of the country is vaccinated because the last President was a moron.

I don't think the players want another bubble.

King: Harden - I hope he stays this aggressive. We’ve all been begging for him to turn up.

Knight: KD

Jester: TLC - Who else would it be?

[CalamityX12]

We did it!!! Harden came thru

I’ll second this, though I could go any of KD, Kyrie or DJ(seriously though lol) for the Knight.

FYI, Miami didn’t win games like this during that 9-8 start with their Big 3.

We are better off than fans think. We could run off 10-15 game win streak later down the line once we settle into whoever we sign aside from Pelle. We just need to continue to win games regardless of offense or defense struggles. We should off talent alone.

Harden buried them flat out and we needed him to show the league, we can destroy any zone once he’s in his bag offensively.

DJ finishes lobs, but I feel like so many other big men can do what he does and more. He’s playing next to stars and only has to finish lobs created from teams focusing on other players around him.

I thought he still got burned badly on defense in the 1st quarter. His turnstile defense allowed the Heat to score easily and get out to a good lead.

I really hope we can acquire someone better than him. The bar is so low.

Yo, Prok! Lol

Knight: Nash (for not giving Shamet a PT)

Loved the defensive effort. Miami missed a lot of shots but it felt like we didn't give them much easy stuff. We were disciplined on Bam in the 4th. Kept them off the line. Kyrie and KD's hustle level scares me at times. I feel like they're gonna get hurt with these constant dives and fights for the ball.

Harden really looked like himself at the end. Super weird that he could flip the switch like that. Crazy tight handle. Got to the rim at will. Got space on his 3s. Beautiful stretch at the end.

That's what makes us scary. Crunch time and Harris is getting wide open, practice type 3s. Kyrie is getting open layups. Harden can't be doubled.

Good to see us winning a game cleanly when we couldn't buy a bucket for 3 quarters.

Meanwhile, JaVale McGee is showing OUT for Sean Marks. What a playmaking big.

I agree with all of this, but most of tonight he was solid.

I’m hoping we wind up with McGee and another big body, and if we do trade Spence we land one of Gordon, Barnes or Ross.
