Zach Edey is going to be a guy that NBA teams can trust to contribute in a big way on offense, it'll just be extremely matchup dependent whether he can stay on the floor on defense.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. Has Been Waiting For This

by Kevin Yeung

Jaime Jaquez Jr. is playing meaningful playoff minutes as a rookie, showing that craft has perhaps become an underrated quality in the draft, compared to more traditional traits such as wingspan, athleticism or shooting.

Well it's good for the Tank, but rough game overall both CJ and Anfernee looked great though.

Is Miami's defense that good, or is our ball movement that horrible?
It felt like they had a hand in every passing lane.

Heat play very hard, even facing injuries+Covid that team hasn't lost a beat and is still 2nd in the East. There is a damn good chance they jump the Bulls and finish with the 1 seed.

Its so impressive how Miami constantly finds rotation caliber guys, hell playoff rotation caliber guys, seemingly out of nowhere.

Vincent, Robinson, Strus, Martin, Omer, Guy. Hell they even ressurected the careers of Deadmon and one of the idiot brothers.

Seems like replacing Zeller might be a decent idea.. we got slaughtered when Nurk was out. A backup center isn’t the worse solution..

Totally onboard with this. No idea why Olshey looked at Nurkić's injury history and thought, who can I get that misses even more games for his backup?
