giannis had a crazy weak game did the heat do anything special on D

he was kind of out of it but the heat have stuck bad games on him before by adopting a strategy of walling him off from the basket at all costs. there were tons of possessions last night where he was surrounded by 3-4 guys in the paint and either passed or forced up shots. there were also open jumpers and stuff he just flat missed that will go in on other nights. and as i posted last night i think bam might be the single best defender on giannis of any team in the east but it was def a team effort.

it was probably a preview of what the playoffs are going to look like for the bucks. the math on the game was actually kind of crazy... the heat made 18 threes to the bucks 7, a difference of 33 points but the heat only won by 16. it's basically impossible to score on the bucks at the basket, and in games where middelton and others are hitting threes they're just going to be really tough to beat. but there are going to be games (like last night) where teams execute the game plan on giannis well and middleton, wes matthews, bledsoe, george hill, divencenzo etc are gonna have to make threes.

I’ve used the employee entrance to the moda on and off since like 2003 and never been looked at twice and I’m me

spike should just start going to the nets games

Clay I loved Do The Right Thing, kudos

u r welcome to enjoy my genius any time my friend

speaking of nets games; caris levert is thinking about going for 50 in OT

he should not do this

he went for 51 instead

thank God

Somehow the 9-person Dubs squad with no Steph, Klay, Draymond or Looney just beat the Nugs at home.

Bender and Chriss are an unstoppable force

Wow. Best one yet. Save this. pic.twitter.com/otlkSEgmUw

how about Bagdron Bogdanovich or Bogdin Brogdinovich?

lonzo ball's shot looking like a million times better. it's not ever going to be amazing but his current form is working.

37% on 6+ attempts per game is good. Kinda bad he’s 40% overall tho.

happy for him, he looks awesome tonight

with his passing and rebounding combined w/ the way the game is played nowadays if he can hit 37% of his threes it prob doesn't matter if he can score inside the arch or not

these versions of ingram and lonzo paired w/ zion actually feels like it could be something longterm

7/9 threes tonight for zo

zinger can shoot too

this is a fun game some of our most promising young players

Love it

Zinger in the mid post is a disaster and they still go to it too often

Doncic got jrue there lol

Doncic has Paul Pierce’s speed and God’s handles

Steph back.

what a doofus

ESPN Sources: NBA has fined Mark Cuban $500K -- and rejected the Dallas Mavericks petition to replay the final seconds of a Feb. 22 loss to Atlanta. Cuban assailed league’s officiating leadership and system in a tirade — and twice went on court in final minutes to confront refs.

Been a while since he’s done this but it was a pretty reg occurrence when he first bought them

he thinks hes part of the basketball game

maybe it's cos he has a generational talent on his team again

was nice to have curry back last night. nba much better with him playing.

clippers are addicted to guys

The Clippers are signing free agent center Joakim Noah, league sources tell ESPN. Noah, a two-time All-Star, is expected to join the team next week.

thye gottta have at least 25 guys on that roster at this point

what do they even think theyre gonna do with all those guys

i totally forgot joakim played in the nba last year

teams are gonna put him thru the wringer every possession in the playoffs but this is eye opening

Robinson ranks in the 93rd percentile off spot-ups
He ranks in the 96th percentile off hand-offs
He ranks in the 93rd percentile in transition
He ranks in the 98th percentile off cuts
He ranks in the 84th percentile on “guarded” catch-and-shoot attempts and in the 96th percentile on unguarded attempts

All this for a player who averages 1.1 field-goal attempts from two-point range per game. The NBA has seen a lot of great shooting specialists come through the ranks over the last two decades, but none of them have ever been quite as good at it as Robinson already is.
