What's he gonna save him for? The playoffs?

Good to see Vaughn making changes already. He really had some questionable rotations last night.

Philly is up big on Miami in the 1st. Guess they didn't get the tank memo.

We'll learn to appreciate the subtleties and nuances that is the JV tank commander.

It was clearly a goal tend, how they missed it idk.

That's always what happens when the Magic play in Indiana. All the way back to Rik Smits' game winner in the 95 playoffs after the clock expired....

Have to agree with this. Rubio seems like a very capable defender each time I have watched Minnesota play.

Rubio is a phenomenal defender. He's easily one of the best defensive PGs in the league. He has been since day 1, really.

Yeah they started out on a 19-0, yes 19-0 run in the first, MCW is playing well, Heat can't buy a bucket.

Yup.

Hey, I was looking up some YouTube videos today and came across a vid of your rookie. Your GM/owner may be dumb or impatient when it comes to roster moves but they sure as he'll know how to draft. Gianni's looks like he could be the real deal some day.

As soon as I wrote that Heat go on a run and are now down by 6 on the back of Lewis and Cole

This is what I was thinking too.. He is a great defensive PG now and I thought coming into the NBA one of his strengths was his defensive ceiling??

He's one of the very few PGs you can watch on the defensive end of the court throughout a game and really enjoy what he brings. I love watching him play D. Off the ball, I think he's the best PG in the league. On the ball, he's long and instinctive, and he always hustles and plays physically (as much as is possible in the NBA, anyway).

He can get beaten against the pick and roll like any guard because so much of that goes into how his teammates play it , but he's a joy to watch defensively, IMO. Dipo has a ton of the same characteristics.

Yeah 11 points on 6 shots, 6 steals, 7 assists and no TO, very impressed.

So many rookies I researched in the draft that I'm interested in watching play, but not enough time!
