    Zone has always been the answer to Miami.

    Missed games last night as well, I see Dallas took down the Thunder. They've played eachother enough Mavs were due one.

    Wolves need to tighten up the roster a bit and start figuring out who their guys are, and aren't. Gather a few of those pieces and turn it into something they need. Not saying this season, but eventually.

      In fairness, when your franchise spends the better part of a decade with top five-ten draft picks and you yourself contribute about two or three years of them, I think even those of us here in the basketball forum could eventually put together a nice looking little roster.
      No doubt about that, but on the other hand they got Beasley & Milicic for pretty much a cheese burger & fries...

      In not praising him, but while we all mocked him for these moves, he proved us that he has done well, again besides Flynn & Wes Johnson.

        Rewatching the DAL/OKC game....OKCs half court offense is just not pretty to watch....they need more spacIng and movement.

        I thought MIAs offense last year was ugly, but if it wasn't for Westbrook and Durant being spectacular half of the time it'd be just as bad...

        I swear Harden running the show Is the most fluid the offense looks most of the time..

          OKC's half court offense has been horrid for a long, long time. Looks better when Harden is out there generally. This is why I repeatedly have said that Scott Brooks either needs to step up the offense game planning, or stop being gifted one of the more talented teams in the league.

            Harden was the only player that was consistently able to get a good look in the half court. Durant and Westbrook both resorted to chucking up contested two's or three's and driving in and trying to draw a foul. The Mavs played pretty damn good defense though, they did a good job of forcing some turnovers, forcing tough shots, and not giving up a lot of easy shots. Over the past few games we've been seeing this team start to come together, and its nice to know there's still some obvious things that haven't gotten going and they're able to have a solid win against a previously undefeated team.

                  McGrady last night was looking like shades of the ‘old’ McGrady. I’m hoping the Bulls didn’t make a mistake by passing up on him. I like Hamilton and he’s an significant upgrade from Bogans BUT McGrady playing like he did last night would have given the Bulls an extra dimension on offense. And for him to do that against the Heat is something that the Bulls really need. We’ll see as time goes on BUT so far McGrady has been slowly coming back to form since his injury.

                    Wish he would have went to Miami or Chicago. I don't like Atlanta's chances of going very far. Maybe the shortened season will help them though.

                      Makes sense, forces them to make more basketball decisions instead of one of their Big 3 beating you in a 1v1 match up.

                              So Brook is out. Hump is out and Deron is hurting.

                              At least Averah is coming to his senses and will start Deron and Marshon in the backcourt...."Soon". Soon better mean the next damn game.
