What a freaking game
I thought Justice Winslow looked pretty good in that game. Hes gonna have his bumps as a rookie -especially one with a jump shot that it is so-so--- like I said- I see him as a MKG type that is not quite the defender but also doesnt quite have the broken jumper MKG has. That was a steal for Miami to get him so late in the draft. Its so hard to get a good SF. He can be develop into a guy who is a top half of the league SF that is a very nice get. He reminds me of Deng a little bit- but hes a better athlete then Deng.
The Cavs are just so freaking deep this year. Without Irving and Shumpert they still have a very good and deep bench. As long as they limit Varejao to 20 a night he can really give you good minutes. I love a lineup with Varejoa, Delly and Jefferson- that defense and effort, and shooting, and intelligence and effort of those 3 guys makes a very nice bench unit.
it really came down to Love and LeBron playing great tonight though. Heat just dont have an answer or anyone to cover LeBron...winslow is at least a couple years away from being able to do it on a solid level- I think he will be able to be a good LeBron stopper eventually- but not anytime soon.
Grantland did have great basketball stuff. That is a bummer. I imagine most will resurface elsewhere with Simmons though - either that or just get absorbed back into ESPNI need some good games to lift my spirits after ESPN shut down Grantland today. Fucking bullshit. They had the best NBA coverage on the net. Zach Lowe is obviously da gawd but the others were entertaining as well. If anyone knows where those guys are writing next, let me know ASAP
