Game Thread: 10:30:15

I'm going to test this out to see how it works. I'll be creating game threads for the entire night of action on Wednesday and Friday nights (those are typically the nights with the most games).

 

[bksballer89]

Best games of the night are Miami/Cleveland and Golden State/Houston.

Chicago/Detroit and Washington/Milwaukee should be good as well

No love for Lakers/Kings?

12 games on the docket tonight. I'll be enjoying another free League Pass night. Hopefully there are some close finishes to watch.

Suns are going to wear Steve Nash socks tonight

 

[lakersrule]

Fuck Steve Nash

Justice Winslow had a +/- of +26 against Charlotte. If Im the Heat, Im spending all year developing him and playing Bosh and Wade just enough to get in the playoffs. They look like a contender made of glass and one injury and they are done

 

[CitySushi]

Warriors are without Bogut tonight and Howard is back for the Rockets. Still like the Warriors here, but it will be a real test for Ezeli.

Outside of Wade, who else is injury prone on the roster?

Harden drops 40 tonight

Freaking love these Christmas jerseys

First look: The NBA's new Christmas uniforms are fantastic

NOPE.

Outside of Wade, who else is injury prone on the roster?

Deng has a long history battling injuries. Bosh is dealing with a heart condition. McBob was out all of last year. Birdman has missed a lot of games in recent years. Amare.

Mostly worried about Bosh and Deng. Bosh in particular is essential to that team

One injury doesn't make you injury prone. The only 2 I would really considered injury prone are Wade and Amare.

I'm not too worried about Bosh actually. Deng gets banged up and is sure to miss about 10 games but he's not a guy who's going to miss 40 or 50 games

Great opportunity to prove he deserves a contract extension.

Dubs by a dozen.

Outside of Durant and Westbrook, who has a duo that's head and shoulders better than Curry and Thompson?

Maybe the Cavs if Kyrie wasn't so fragile.

Agreed.

Chris has to stay healthy.

I'm meh on Amare.

Low risk/ high reward.

I think Green will be the new guy that makes a difference.

Not to mention the fact that they get to develop chemistry with Dragic from the get go and guys like McBob are healthy.

With Amare they have other options. McRoberts is another PF and Bird is our C so Amare missing games as we all expect is no big deal. It only becomes an issue if he McRoberts and/or Bird are out the same time as Amare which then forces Miami to play Haslem or go small

Doesn't history dictate a likelyhood of this happening. Don't get me wrong, I'm hoping for the Heat to make the finals. I actually am banking on them winning the East.
