Waiting to see if Spo makes the right move in terms of closing lineup @TurnUpTheHeat

Tyler must be in that lineup. Dragic and Wade been shit. No reason for both of those guys to get clutch minutes over TJ.

 

[bksballer89]

End of game lineup IMO should be the following:

TJ
Winslow
Richardson
JJ
Hassan

But I'm sure Dragic or Wade will somehow get the late minutes lol

Who is the ball handler with that lineup?

Would be J-Rich and/or JJ but he's not going with that lineup

Gotta love inconsistent NBA refs. 2 minutes ago, Grants runs over Olynyk and somehow gets rewarded with a 3 point play. James Johnson does the same exact thing just now and he gets called for a charge

 

[bksballer89]

Down 8 and he brings back Wade who is 1-7 with 4 points. Freaking idiot

 

[bksballer89]

I have no idea how you can watch this game tonight and think its a good decision to take out Tyler for Wade.

1 guy is 5-9 for 12 points with a +7
The other is 1-8 for 4 points with a -21

Wow...

Lebron has led his team in assists every single year of his career.

....and he's 6'8.

 

[bksballer89]

This coach makes me sick. This love affair he has with Wade is disgusting

Jeremi Grant could end up being a star in this league, going to be a tough guy to hang on to this offseason.

 

[thunderc]

Russ with another big game, if he gets 16 rebounds at home against the Grizz in the last game he averages a triple double again. Anyone want to bet against it?

 

[bksballer89]

Heat outscored 39-12 in the 4th quarter lol

Bully ball at 65'9"?

Randle has looked good- i just worry about a guy who is 6' 9", does not play any D and cant shoot a 3....the rebounding and inside presence are obvious big plusses, but again....this nba is all about skill sets and fit.

He's actually improved a good bit defensively. He's not shutting anyone down, but he's better. If you watch him play, on offense it's truly bully ball. Makes him unique in the league and teams are having a lot of trouble figuring out what to do with him.

I don't think he needs to worry too much about the 3, but if he is going to take the next step, he's got to develop at least a serviceable 15-20 foot shot.

Yep.

Which is why there is no real benefit in letting him walk to pursue a more expensive Gordon.

Kings up 14. This Spurs team is such fucking garbage.

 

[trojanfan12]

This seems kinda low. But, would make keeping him a no brainer if true.

ESPN's Bobby Marks estimates Randle's market to be around $12-14 million per year, and a team such as Dallas, Brooklyn, Atlanta or Sacramento could have the ability to offer Randle something in the neighborhood of $56 million over four years.

If I'm the Lakers and whiff in FA, I definitely match that. Heck, if they only get 1 max guy, they should match that.

 

[DJ Fieri]

IT was a horrible GM, but I like him on NBA TV. He's funny and has some good basketball insight.

Likewise for the heat

Magic was 6-9.

Assuming Washington doesn't somehow lose to Boston tomorrow who should be resting their players, we still won't have any clue who the 6th, 7th, or 8th seeds will be in the East.
