Suggs with 8/1/2 in 5 minutes was nice. Wonder how many minutes he's actually allowed to play.

Bane was worth every single pick and more.

Franz had some crazy efficient def posessions with shot contested today already

With the way we complain you should double that 10pts

Team are still learning each other on offense. I’ve seen a few leading passes which have worked (Tyus’ work), and some which are overshooting their man (Bane to PB, WCJ to Bane).
When that starts clicking they’ll be dangerous. They’re all putting in the effort to move though. Things look good to me.
Ps - that Suggs/AB/Franz unit to close the 1st quarter was so much fun!

Alright, there is a lot to clean up, and there are some things to like. I think that they are thinking too much and you can tell they don’t have chemistry together yet. I do like the offensive bursts but the defense needs to be tightened up.

Miami always plays tough. But they're also susceptible to huge scoring droughts. I'm sure they'll have one in the 2nd half.

Heat had a good plan to stop Paolo, I like how he doesn't force it so far for himself

Miami did cool off, but it felt like everything went their way and we still managed to have the lead at halftime.
At the same time, we shot pretty well too. We had some good defensive spurts, but mostly weren't that good. I don't expect to put another 69 points on the board in the 2nd half, so the defense will have to be there. I like it when Wiggins has the ball. He's been scoring on those isos, but those are ugly possessions for them and I don't care if Andrew Wiggins wants to pound it for 10 seconds before taking a contested 2 pointer. I'm certain the Heat feel the same way about Paolo.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

He's took a couple bad shots, but otherwise he hasn't been that bad. Definitely looks like he's the guy who has the most adjusting to do between him, Bane, and Franz.

I’m curious how the starters respond in the second half.

If this is the end... I actually will miss the grind it out on defense teams. It was fun to me to watch a team that played differently than the rest of the league. Yes I know we weren't winning anything like that lol.
Still think we will be fine on defense, but looks like pace will clearly actually be different.
