The value of the underapperciated begins when they are injured and not available to you

Rio out there hitting game winners - Could've used him a couple times for that this season rather than let the old washed up guy Wade play hero ball and try to " will the team" to victory and settle for jumpers -- but, nope -- we traded Rio and sacrificed the present for the unknown future.

At any rate, props to Rio he has had himself quite a few good games already while in Memphis

ASK IRA: Is Winslow defense enough to offset his shooting?

 

[Paolo305613]

 

[Paolo305613]

The Winslow doubters/haters should read these tweets Kawhi Leonard is the exact and perfect comparison for Winslow as to his game at the moment and what it can become with time - With a little more upside for Winslow on the offensive given he came into the league a few years younger than Leonard was when he came in

This team is looking really bad. These 3rd quarter struggles have been going on for years now, this is not a new thing. I was one of those that was okay with the Rio trade, but now, I wish I could take it back. This is a class tale of you don't realize what you have until it's gone. I also don't see Whiteside being re-signed with the Heat after this season. Something just seems off about him.

 

[Paolo305613]

The Whiteside re-sign talk is premature - he has got to earn it by staying healthy and his play -- still too early in the season and his development process to decide one way or another 39 games into this season, that talk is still quite premature.

This team has been as unpredictable as you can possibly be -- as I have said before - win or lose, good or bad - no one game is going to make or break their season - lets just let things play out however they are meant to and see where we are at come seasons end then go from there.

 

[Paolo305613]

The streak lasted long enough - but it now comes to an end - I figured it would come after a not so good game for him after 7 turnovers the other night.

Take Andres, just have him back in about 30 minutes before his bed time - his absence should certainly increase our chances

 

[Paolo305613]

One thing is for certain - with Wade out and Hassan back in there starting - I expect and would hope for my inside action and less jump shooting and bad shot selection other than the few G-Squared and Winslow seem to often take

 

[Paolo305613]

Hassan vs Faried inside? I think I will take that matchup all night

 

[Paolo305613]

Hassan has to work to get inside more - Fiorentino said the best thing he ever has the other day when Hassan failed to repost and missed a shot in which he thought he was fouled " sometimes Hassan looks like he is crying when he makes faces"

 

[Paolo305613]

Good shots taken just not falling - some turnovers and down 11 after 1 -- Hassan looks disinterested out there - if that is how he is going to act and not realize he has a mismatch inside he can dominate - he doesn't need to play

Slim chance to win this game.

1-5 trip is basically a lock
