After going 16-33 against the Celts, the Heat just went 12-38 from 3pt land against the Wolves.

Their ball movement and complex x's and o's getting them great looks as usual. Definitely not shooting luck.

Yeah, but even if you get good looks, the shot still has to fall.

But as we all know, you really can't really on the 3pt every game because sometimes they just don't fall even when it's open.

When you are relying on the open three to fall, it's about rhythm. TWolves front court is big and physical, they dominated the boards tonight and forced TOs, Bam/Lowry/Jacquez combined for 11 TOs.

I wouldn't write anything off to our bad luck.

Jalen Duren. Goddamn. Congrats, Detroit. He’s a beast.

What's the deal with former Celtics guys just pulling new skills out of their ass? Nesmith looks like an all-star and now Rob looks like David Robinson.

Good defense, explosive on attacking close outs, movement without the ball, great shooting--Aaron Nesmith's somehow become exactly what we want Jaylen Brown to be.

Champs putting the up-and-coming Thunder in their place. We're down to 7 undefeated teams less than a week into the season.

Jokic is so clearly the best player in the NBA right now, its isn't even really close. if the Nuggets finish first in the west I don't see how he doesn't win MVP again.
