Vertical Limitforum_veteranKevin Love is earning his money.. he looks like the Timberwolves version of KLove
phinswolverinesrocketsforum_veteranYEAHHHHH!!!!!
This was the game I've been waiting on. Kawhi was trying hard as hell. That man played damn near 40 minutes in regulation...lol. You can't guard Harden. Dropped 47 points on that man head and walked away the the W. We didn't have didn't have Eric Gordon or Danuel House....they didn't have Paul George. Westbrook stunk it up. It was even. This was all about Harden vs Kawhi. Kawhi doesn't want these problems.
Where LeBron at?

You would need 10 Eric Gordon’s never mind whoever the hell danuel house is to replace Paul George. But a win against Kawhi is a good win.

Why Kawhi was in the paint and not on harden at this point I can’t understand

Danuel House is our starting SF. He is our best 3 point shooter and 2nd best defender. Besides Capela, he is the only guy in our 8 man rotation taller than 6'6", lol.
Missing House + Gordon means we have to replace 59 minutes per game and 23 points per game with a combination of Ben McLemore (vet minimum) and Thabo Sefolosha (vet minimum). That is impossible...which is why Harden had to go off last night.
I would definitely say that us missing that much production is pretty close to them missing Paul George.

It wouldn't have matter...
Harden was killing him on defense...holding Kawhi to 1-7 shooting when guarding him.
And
He was killing him on offense.
For a guy who always cries about load management, you'd think Kawhi would have enough energy to outplay Harden...since Harden doesn't know what load management is. I'm just saying.

Miami’s has to figure out how to hold large leads.
Vertical Limitforum_veteranWe got lucky that the Cavaliers were bricking as much as we were in the final 6.5 minutes..
phinswolverinesrocketsforum_veteranDon't bring the Rockets into that mess...lol

Vertical Limitforum_veteranCarmelo Anthony signs with Portland on non guaranteed deal
BevoPhinforum_veteranOver 13% of the season in the bag and Miami is 2nd in the East with the 3rd best record in the league.
On our way to 60 wins and Free Agents taking notice, boys.
Vertical Limitforum_veteranIm still setting my bar low at 47 wins.. which is still a great season considering the talent we have..’it’s a testament to our scouting and Spoelstra. If we reach 55 wins I think Spoelstra will have his second COY locked.

If we win 55 games I will legitimately believe we have a chance, even if it's not huge, to win a title.
Serpico Jonesforum_veteranHad no idea Meyers Leonard was this good. Huge upgrade over Whiteside.
GARDENHEADsubscriberHeat/Pelicans tonight. Everyone on both teams is injured. Crazy.
Tanking is like taking a Greyhound bus cross-country. Sure, it may eventually get you where you want to go, but it’s messy and unpleasant and uncomfortable, it stinks, the entire time you’ll be wishing you weren’t there, and not everybody along for the ride is going to make it to the end. - Quote stolen from Deadspin
phinswolverinesrocketsforum_veteranWestbrook (starter) out.
Capela (starter) out.
House (starter) out.
Gordon (6th man) out.
Did James Harden (49 pts) just walk into Minnesota and blowout the Timberwolves with our vet minimum guys and G-League squad? Lmao.
KAT should be embarrassed. Shout out to Chris Clemons (19 pts) & Isaiah Hartenstein (16 rebs). Our young guys were putting in work. Dantoni better start playing these dudes.

I watched Portland for the first time last night when they played the Pelicans. Whiteside sucks. Glad the dude got paid. Happy for the Heat that its not them writing the checks. Also, Melo looked terrible. I'm sure ESPN put his highlights all over the place, but he was BAD.

I did that on purpose. I explained it in the OP.

BevoPhinforum_veteranI’m trying not to get used to Miami crushing teams they’re supposed to but man it feels great.
Vertical Limitforum_veteranAccording to Riley 101 Being a professional, beating the teams youre suppose to beat.
theyre taking care of business and grabbing that W before a tough back to back road games on Friday AND Saturday..

To be fair I'm pretty sure Melo just showed up and tried to play an NBA game after not playing in forever with guys he hasn't really played with.
Not sure if hes played the second game yet but I'm sure he will improve with some chemistry and just getting his feel back overall.
