As I said on the Heat board, would be nice to see how we play once everyone is available. Ellington is clearly the best 3 pt specialist

Just to add on to this comment. Just saw this tweet

Still don't think we get over 30 wins this year.

I think if we're healthy enough, we can push 35 wins. But if this injury garbage keeps up then yeah under 30 wins

Number of wins isn't really a concern to me.
At seasons end, we'll feel the more losses the better.

I'm just looking to see effort and improvement from the handful of players that will be back next year.

I just hope our shitty record doesn't cost Whiteside an all star appearance.

Sweet. More injuries

U gotta draft pick? Tank. Probably no obvious stars like KAT or AD in this draft but there's a bunch of quality players, probably about 5 to 7 deep. Should be easy to get one of those picks this year since the rest of the NBA is pretty even (minus the top 3 or 4 teams)

Mavs owner Mark Cuban calls out ref Ken Mauer: 'Suspend him, demote him'




This is what I have been saying.
Nobody is saying 1 call changes the outcome of a game, but the refs have been terrible and theres no accountabiltiy.

I don't think the Heat believe in tanking. If they finish bad enough to get a top 10 pick then trade Goran and get another first round pick, I'll be happy.

No excuses for the Celts last night. The Pistons starters played out of their minds. They scored 105 pts and shot damn near 60%.

Couple things from last night that bugged me. Smart...2-8 from 3. Stop shooting so many 3's Marcus!! Also, Horford needs to start stepping up offensively. I don't expect 20 a game from him but he's got to stop passing up so many shots. I believe he only took 5 all game!

Nice performances from Thomas and Olynyk kept us in the game, and overall they played pretty well on both sides of the ball, minus the inevitable rebounding woes. I still think the team as is with a few tweaks in shot selection and a little more effort on the boards can be pretty good.

Atlanta started the year 9-2.....1-7 since

Didn't realize their current run was that bad. Wow

Cavs Clips tonight. Great matchup (let's just pretend like Tue never happened).

Kyrie has been more clutch since he has entered the league.

It looks like you're catching them at the right time with their little "skid".

i dunno...they did sign Dion Waiters....

Say what you want about Waiters, he plays hard as fuck so your whole tanking joke in regards to Waiters was pretty lame. He's not a great player but he gives 100% effort all the time.

When have anyone ever said Waiters doesn't play hard?
