Awesome Opening Night win.

Offense looks so much better and how about the Starters tonight?

Always great to get an opening Night victory.

Love this team.

We stepped up in 4th. Heat outplayed us for 3 quarters pretty much. Solid win but we def got work to do

Paolo we're going to need you to step up with the integration with the rest of the team. Your iso bad shots need to stop.

Dell came up big a few times down the stretch. Big plays from him.
Bane’s pass to Paolo under the rim was emblematic of what’s been missing in our offense in the crunch.
Suggs is like a plug in turbo charge - he does the winning things and inspires the others to step up their games.

120+ on day 1. How many times did they score 120 last year?

Really maybe they didn't play that poorly, looking at the boxscore just those Tyus minutes were a disaster.


Hopefully he gets better and the defense around him gets better.

Bane is officially part of a big three. This season already feels different. I EXPECTED them to come back and win. Last time I felt that way was the Dwight-Hedu ECF team.

Enjoy it, everyone. We are back.

Paolo better from the line

WCJ showed up big on the offensive boards in the 4th

Adding Bane is a big help for perimeter shooting

Still way too many misses right at the basket

Our rotations were all over the place. When Suggs is playing a normal compliment of minutes maybe Tyus can play better with the ball in his hands more with the 2nd unit.

We got the job done in the end but a lot of rough moments.

Tyus was disappointing tonight so they'll be plenty of shouts for Jase to play instead.

Paolo carried on with some of his old negative habits which was frustrating.

Bane is the exact player we've been crying out for, that's why we gave up all those picks
