He made 3 the other night against the LeBrons.

I wonder how well he has to shoot 3s for the rest of his career to cease being the worst 3 point shooter in NBA history.

Edit: Never mind. Apparently he's already only the 2nd worst. Oh well.

Been watching many Heat games this year? How are the young guys doing?

I saw the Winslow news the other day and immediately felt bad for 4/5. Although by the looks of it he was having a pretty rough year anyway.

Oh shit, I didn't even see the Winslow news.

Prediction: They trade Dragic and go full on tank city USA.

Yes to everything. Winslow already had a stretch where he missed about 15 games and hadn't shown much (any?) improvement on his shot. I still had hopes for him showing some growth in the second half, but oh well. Sucks.

Dragic is as good as gone if Riley can find anyone willing to give anything in return. There's so many decent PGs out there I don't know that we're going to get much for him, but he'll be gone soon enough.

Between the lack of talent/depth and the insane amount of injuries he Heat are usually borderline unwatchable so it's been tough. I find it incredibly difficult to watch a bad basketball team and be able to tell if guys are getting numbers because they're actually decent surrounded by trash or if they're just getting numbers because the game is 48 minutes and somebody has to get them. So I'm not as high on the Winslow/Whiteside/Richardson/Johnson youth movement as I was 6 months ago. I have no idea what the draft looks like, but hopefully Miami bottoms out this year and can get a true franchise player in the draft. I still think those 4 guys can be good in supporting roles, but I don't know if they're much more than that.

If this draft is as good as the experts say they should be able to get a really great player in the top 5 or so.

I heard the top 2 guys are can't miss then it's gets iffy. If you recall the nerd on the Lakers was can't miss too and he's simply an 'amazing practice player!' at this point. Ben Simmons can't shoot so I don't know what good he's going to be in today's NBA either.

Also surprised Dunn has been so bad for the Wolves. He was supposed to be pro ready.

Porzingus vs Giannis was fun tonight. My boy D Rose got benched for Rod Baker down the stretch.

Sure was.

Nice 4th quarter by the Warriors tonight. Yikes.

DeMarcus Cousins: "If you were to ask me, I think my jersey will be hanging in the rafters when I retire in Sacramento. My only concern is winning games every night and pushing this team to the next level.”

Did you see Noah poster Giannis?

Bulls are supposedly shopping Butler again. Jae Crowder Jaylen Brown and the Nets first rounder please.

Celtics fans are against this! Butler is good, but that too steep a price. Although Crowder is getting tired of the trade rumors and he's attacking C's fans on Twitter.

Draymond going off on Durant after his bad shot last night was so..... Appropriate.

Yeah I wouldn't do it if I was the C's. Jimmy set up this season for him to be the man and got his guys and guess what? The Bulls suck. He gets his numbers sure, but the Bulls suck. Any team that trades for Butler is going to have to give up a franchise player haul and Jimmy Butler is not a franchise player.

Sure did. That was a fun game. Would have been better without the Zinger fouling out.

I hate when it gets pointed out that a guy gets "postered". It's fear of that that leads to lack of defense and uncontested dunks. Getting postered is just proof you were at least putting in SOME effort to stop an uncontested bucket.

Crowder followed up his disrespect comments by putting up a 0 PT 2 RB in 30 min game. Against Philly. He's untouchable.

I agreed. I enjoy blocks on dunk attempts equally as much.

14 points from the Warriors bench last night. Pitiful.

I would rather see the celtics give up a haul for Cousins

I would too but Cousins is a problem personality wise even though that's a pretty cliche thing. His quote I posted above makes zero sense to me. Everyone knows he isnt committed to Sacramento so why is he saying stuff like 'my Jersey is going to be retired here'?

he's unstable and a risk but maybe stevens and a change of scenery would help

Not great Bob. Those numbers are always a little misleading since they stagger their substitutions so much. There is almost always an all-star in the lineup.

Cousins is a diva but he drew a really bad hand.

What in the hell is the purpose of an Andre Igoudala? Like... functionally

Muscles. He has very nice muscles.
