best play ive seen from Cain in 3 games. you can see before foul shot he was telling Justin to pass hit the oop. Agressive.
1. Herro 2. Bol Bol 3. Seko 4. Bruno
unless we trade up for Barrett or trade down for PJ Washington

Looked like a walk on that dunk. Refs don't care at this point in the game
Lofton is big boy. Riley wouldn't allow him to sit on the bench until he got in shape.

Nice W in the end. Hard to get a read without some key pieces there, but solid all the same.

It's gonna be interesting if he can maintain in the reg season. Can't keep losing pieces in FA we know we won't pay.3ammy3uck3ts wrote:Cain is Caleb insurance

Great finish! Happy with Champagnie tonight too. Played well in his brief appearance. Orlando Robinson and Thomas Bryant were both good backups at center. Not too concerned with the front court at this point. Still wish we had a point guard prospect. Herro and Lowry took care of business though.
I remember 11-30 with these guys. ^

Herro and Bam were fantastic tonight. Great to see. If only we can get rid of dead weight Lowry and grab a decent starting PG.

I am wondering who has ever said JJJ is better? Don’t remember ever seeing anyone say that.
Used to see it plenty around here. On general NBA forums you still see it plenty

It happens every year during summer league and preseason. People keep forgetting that anything before game 1 isn't real NBA basketball, and even in the regular season randos can look good for stretches before fading away again.

Jovic and Cain were dominating preseason last year then touched the court like 5 games during the season

With additions like Josh Richardson, Thomas Bryant, Kevin Love, Caleb going to the Bench & Highsmith having an improved 3pt shot there's even less minutes to go around for wings & forwards. Last year our depth was even less yet those guys barely saw the court. It will be much harder this year. However Jovic he was getting minutes for a good stretch there, and starting to get some good run until he got injured, he was starting to get those backup PF minutes. Its gonna take injuries to key guys on our bench or starters, and them getting plugged in and doing really well for them to stay in the rotation. I do believe Miami will give minutes to JJJ and Jovic at this point in time during the regular season before giving it to Cain. In the playoffs I don't know that to be true that could flip.

I don't think this is the season he gets transitioned to player coach just yet, I don't believe coach Spo is there yet. All indications seem to be he is our starting PF to take off the season, it may change as the season goes on, but even then he would still see minutes as our backup PF.

Harden is suspect defensively (that's charitable, imo) and has spent the last two seasons creating massive questions about his desire, his ability to not be a negative influence in the locker room, and his value when not in dribble-down-the-shot-clock mode.
IMO, he doesn't have any of the qualities the Heat are looking for and would need to be re-signed to an insane contract. If we were betting on a problem child, I'd much rather have taken a chance on Kyrie Irving.
