The Lakers win again and Howard showed flashes of his former self after a weak first few games.

McGee better play like he did last season or Howard could supplant him in the starting lineup.

What's going on with Howard's hair, did he lose a bet? It's hilarious.

But they didn't win the game according to the other 2 Cavs fans lol.

You're the only one with common sense. That dude went off.

sure he did.....but you don't know they don't still win if someone else takes his shots and that Towns' guy played well as well.

But, OK, we can all say he won the game for them. If you want to say they'd be 3-0 if he didn't fine, but make sure you take away wins for odd events that helped Miami.....like Jones going for 14 in 16 minutes.

I don't play the if and but game. Facts are Wiggins scored 16 points in the 4th and was the main reason they won last night. The NBA season is far too long to nitpick about the little things.

Heat weren't expected to go 82-0.

Wiggins was a +15 for the game???!!!

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Herro looks pretty decent thus far. Its so early. rookies are going to be inconsistent.

as far as Garland goes- he has looked pretty solid. Thus far the 2 things that stick out about Garland to me are (i) his aggressiveness/speed breaking down a defense and (ii) he has a really pretty shot.

Nunn is the rookie who so far has really stood out.

 

[dtgold88]

Towns didn't have a better game.

Wiggins had his points, 6 rebounds and pretty much nothing else other than his 3 TOs.

But, hey, he played well for 6 minutes to make you forget the 42 he was a no-show.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

i dont know why Leonard is even playing. Guy sucks. he is basically a poor mans Olnyk.

Don’t disagree.
My guess is that when James Johnson is back he’ll take his minutes.

 

[dtgold88]

Wiggins was a +15 for the game???!!!

Because, yes, he did go off the last 6 minutes. But you cannot just forget the 42 he was a no-show.

Obviously other guys contributed to the win but those 16 points were clutch and propelled them to the win in a crucial time in the game...I think that is fair.

I don't know.

 

[DJ]

It snowed again....or more accurately, a light dusting the sun might melt.....I am definitely noticing a pattern.


Has it snowed in Boulder yet, @Wamu?

 

[Wamu]

I don't know.

Well find out dammit! We need answers. If he did that willingly he probably should be drug tested right away.

Vinatieri made a 51 yard kick to win the game. Doesnt erase what he missed earlier, but he still won the game for them.

 

[Shanemansj13]

He sure plays a huge role, but I'm thinking Towns had a better game. Does it not count because he did less in the final 6 minutes?

Towns had a great game but he only scored 3 points in the entire 2nd half....gotta finish.

You don't play the if/but game yet you said this....."Wiggins got hot. Only reason the Heat are not 3-0 but yeah Herro didn't play great."

This was really my only point of contention. Wasn't even whether Wiggins got hot and was huge in them winning. It was wanting to count it as a win if not for his outburst. That's fine, but make sure you take away losses for unexpected reasons.

This may surprise you, but I'm not in his inner circle....and I wouldn't want to be either.....LOL.

OK...and how does that explain the notion Wiggins had a better game than Towns?

 

[DJ]

Gotta say I'm a little surprised by the Wolves 3-0 start.

 

[dtgold88]

Towns had a great game but he only scored 3 points in the entire 2nd half....gotta finish.

Ideally.....but "game" is entire game. Not half the game. And Towns did more than score. Wiggins scored, had a few rebounds and did nothing else.

Even you noted the 42 minutes he disappeared. That doesn't matter?
