Maybe tonight won't be a "scheduled loss" like it was on Friday apparently.

Miami are got right now, 9-1 i nthe last 10.
I don't see how they let this pathetic Magic roster beat them, even without Bam Adebayo.

But no this team doesn't need shooting. Robinson & herro just nailed 4 3s in a minute to Ballon the lead back to 12 lol. What a joke this organization really is

The game thread will hardly get over 2-3 pages tonight, except if Bamba gets hot, but naah... Don't see it happening.

Following the Henny defenders-will-develop-offense logic :banghead:

& WeHam's wingspan-is-everything logic :crazy:

, we should have been multiple NBA champs already. This is a dynasty in-the-making, how can't you see it, yall?

Miami are too relaxed tonight and they let us come back from double-digit deficits with made FTs and 3s for the second time in the first half.
The Heat need to get their game straight or this might get scary for the tank if Vuc and Ross get hot in the 2nd half.

Okeke has a long way to go defensively.

Okpala is really interesting. Looks like the Heat may have found another one.

They are so good at scouting players. They consistently unearth gems from their program.

Okeke has to be the least aggressive first round pick from his draft.

Yep. He plays like he is afraid to make a mistake out there. He certainly doesn't want to find himself in the doghouse of Clifford.

Aminu is so terrible. Please opt out after this season.

2 things,
1 - KZ was hyped as a 1st round pick all year before his draft, and went in the 2nd, so not too crazy of their scouting team to find him
2 - Hes literally done nothing in 2 years and literally is averaging something like 2ppg for his career, and even in the games he starts (8 games this year), he only averaging 4

He has alot of potential and MIGHT be good some day, but to this point hes nothing special

hed be insane to ever opt out of a deal paying him 9mil a year
Hes one of the **** players in the league and the fact that we signed him on day one of FA for 9m a year tells me all i need to know about this FO
