Would've expect Gogi to get everyone a hat tbh.

You're assuming Dragic had the hats. I wouldn't put it past Butler to have had them custom made for just him and Dragic to mess with Bam. If you remember Jimmy asked Dragic where you could get a hat like that and he said nowhere then said Slovenia in which Butler replied that he walked there last night to get it. Say you're a reporter and you want clicks(or wanting to side with someone against Butler), maybe you write that Butler is creating "rifts" between teammates (not everyone getting hats) and lying to teammates (saying he walked to Slovenia last night and that he indicated he was Slovenian) which you could argue both is true without understand the context of them just having fun with one another.

I can sit here and say, ‘Yeah, I can go to Boston, I can go to Toronto, I can go to Miami’ … I can go everywhere everybody wants me to go. But what would that look like? It wouldn’t necessarily be my team to where now I’m in a situation in Washington where I’m being built around.

Doesn't seem like Beal will be forcing himself to Miami which seems to suggest that if Beal is moved he's going to the highest bidder. I can get behind the notion that he threw out some team names he'd be interested in going to but those may also be names of teams that he's heard have had strong interest in acquiring him.

MION is signing with the Lakers

Does this mean the salary earned from the Lakers gets deducted from our cap for this year?

Huh? He is not on our cap. We traded him to Memphis

Wow! Brainfart on my part. We didn't waive him, the Grizz did. My bad.

Clips signing Joakim Noah

Wish we could've got in on that hot action

Nunn is the cause of our road losses.

He plays well v. Pelicans, Kings, and Blazers we win those games.

No, a UFDA rookie is not the reason the Heat lose. Anything he does is found gold. And there’s always going to be high variance with rookies on the road. That’s why they’re rookies.

We lose because Jimmy and Bam don’t assert themselves and dominate consistently. That’s what’s required to win on the road. And that’s what needs to change if they wanna make a real run.

It doesn't matter that he's a rookie, he's still contributing to our losses. It's not just him but he definitely stands out on road losses. If you're not willing to give most of the blame to Nunn then you have no right to complain about anyone else.

The Heat's defense yesterday was actually great, the pace makes it look like the Pelicans were great offensively. The Heat were just bad offensively because of FT shooting, turnovers and 3-point shooting.

[Bishop45]

What BFresh said, stop looking for scapegoats; team just ain't there yet.

Starts at the top too, Jimmy's great but he ain't it, Bam's great but he's not a second option yet; those two have to be better if they're are going to be our two max players in the near future. The support can be, and should be, better, but those guys gotta lead

[Dr_Heat]

The Heat will not be going anywhere else except to a 2nd round playoffs loss or less if we don’t get those WHALE(s) I talked about. Period.

Jimmy needs to work on making those FTs when it matters. He’s 83% normally, but 73% in the clutch according to nba.com stats. Has a lower fg% too, but that number can be misleading so I will let that go. No excuse for missing FTs tho.

[Wiltside]

Duncan Robinson should be in the conversation for MIP. Dude has come from a fringe two-way guy to the best 3pt shooter and a starter in the NBA in the span of around 12 months. Unbelievable growth.

Yes his defense is bad, and he really doesn’t have other strings to his bow yet, but that’s insane development.

We have him on a minimum for the next couple years, then he gonna get expensive.

[al bondiga]

After what Beal said, are you going want him in Miami? I don't ...especially thinking of what we would have to pay him or trade for him

[twix2500]

I'm so proud of DRob. I told people from the get, if he worked on mastering the 3 pt game he could be an elite shooter an important role player. He still has to learn to be adequate defensively. However he was gonna make a name for himself by shooting. His off the ball game around the perimeter is masterpiecce to watch. I still think he has the most beautiful jumper I have ever seen.

Hopefully Tyler Herro can watch a learn Robinson's footwork and off the ball game and take something from it. If Herro does so, his handles will be more of a factor..

Imagine running a lineup of Nunn / Butler / Duncan / Bertans / Bam! Go get it done this offseason Riley!

[MartyConlonJr]

With todays 7-11 3pt shooting, Duncan now has 250 career threes, meaning he qualifies for the all time leaderboard for 3 point percentage. He is 3rd at 44.27% career shooting, half a percent point behind Seth Curry at 44.32%, and 1.13% behind Steve Kerr's career mark of 45.4% and top spot.

Seth Curry puts up 2.8 threes per 36 for his career, Steve Kerr put up 1.6. Stephen Curry, who is shooting 43.47% for his career, puts up 3.7 threes per 36 for his career. Duncan Robinson is putting up 4.3.

Dunc’s really the best non splash brother shooter in the world, and that’s wild to say.

Wow that’s amazing. Just needs to get better at defense and he will be a long term starter.
