Miami Underdogs vs. The Championship Favourites 1/24/20 @ 8 PM EST 

Post#1 » by caliban » Thu Jan 23, 2020 9:12 pm

After two easy wins a favoured opponent arrives in Miami to challenge the rising underdog.

Will BAM grasp this opportunity to make a final push towards an All Star birth?

With JJ and Olynyk back; Can the bench be more than bumslayers?

With Winslow out; Is there any perimeter resistance available to slow down the Big Wing Attack?

Will Spo coach the All Star game?

Can Butler/Nunn/Dragic pick n roll their way into, and exploit, the hollow interior of the Clippers defense?

Montreal Harrelz is one of the strongest dudes in the league if not the strongest.

Should be a great challenge for Bam.

they are the best team in the league, on paper to me, but something is off (besides the fact that they play kinda boring style of basketball, and that they have not been healthy)

chemistry is important

Similar to when the Heatles united. Games were not fun to watch at the beginning. Never felt that Heat team ever met its full capabilities due to a number of things.

Harrell is a FA at the end of this year from memory. He’s gonna be a goner, Clips aren’t able to afford him and he’s gonna want that sweet payday.

Somewhat. But this Clippers team doesn't have glaring holes such as starting center Erik Dampier and whatever scrubs we got on the bench. There are pretty solid from starters to bench. heck we celebrated like it's Christmas just for picking up washed up Mike Bibby cause our bench was so bad. :lol: Mike Miller injury definitely hurt us.

Anyways, I suppose they will come together sooner than later as long as Kawhi is healthy.

Why not wilts? They are capped out and they can't replace him at all. They have a rich owner and they know that their window is now considering how Kawhi is only signed for 2+1. I don't think they can afford to let him walk.
