I hope the part in this report about Dame playing tonight is a lot more accurate than him "hampering the production of Shaedon Sharpe and Anfernee Simons". What a bunch of bullshit that is. Dame does take his fair share of shots but in so doing he gets a lot of guys open who otherwise see a lot of coverage and when they get open Dame is a willing passer. Dame coming back will increase our offensive production for sure and we all hope he'll help and not hurt what we had going until our last game defensively.

Haynes says Dame is playing tonight.

Im excited to see Sharpe get major minutes next to Dame!

 

[Idog1976]

I think if Dame plays and Herro is out we have a really good shot at stealing one.

I don't think it would be stealing one. If Dame plays and Herro is out we should win this one.

 

[Labinot41]

Hopefully this was Lillards last injury for a long time

 

[PDXFonz]

Seems like Ant is being hurt a lot, I dont recall Dame being sidelined as much early in his career?

If we go on a 2-3 game losing streak will they be healthy real quick?

If so then I guess I’m down with it. But 3 DNP’s in a row isn’t just load management.

 

[MickZagger]

ESPN says Lillard is out?

 

[AldoTrapani]

Damn the game starts at nearly 9pm Miami time?

 

[blazerkor]

ESPN says Lillard is out?

ESPN's injuries list is always really slow to update. Reporters are always ahead of them.

 

[Mr. Robot]

tough one, but if ant plays and we play with effort, this team can compete with anyone (at least in the regular season)

should be a good one, well see

 

[Mr. Robot]

what haters gonna say

 

[Idog1976]

what haters gonna say

He won us the first game against Phoenix along with Grant. He still needs to dunk more and increase mental toughness. I've been please with his performance as of late.

 

[riverman]

get a revenge smackdown on the Heat's home court!

 

[PtldPlatypus]

what haters gonna say

It's not sustainable. Glad he had a good week--wonder if he can have two in a row.

i question your bball knowledge

nurk is looking like hakeem out there, if you ever watched him, youd know it

 

[blazerfan11]

If we start getting out-muscled early, I hope Nas gets more of an opportunity. If Eubanks isn’t playing well, play small and play Nas more minutes.

Nas is having a sneaky-good year shooting the ball so far. Small sample size, but he’s shooting 43% from 3, and he looks comfortable getting to his spot on those mid range jumpers too.

If Hart isn't going to shoot the ball, I'd like to see Little get/take more shots as part of the offense.
He's right behind Lillard in 2-point % too at 57%.

Why? You asked what haters would say--I simply gave you an example.

Good deeds never go unpunished...

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Dame is playing tonight!

 

[andalusian]

You are absolutely right. But you have to remember that Hakeem has been retired for 20 years now.

Now, if he looked like Hakeem did 25 years ago, I would be excited.

That's actually not true, I am pretty pleased by his performance this year. He actually looks like a starter NBA center that is worth his salary, which is pretty much the first time in 3? years that he has looked like someone worth the money he is paid. Let's hope he keeps it up or even gets better. He certainly looked great against the baby Rockets who played 2 6-9 guys, less than 240lbs guys at center... but Hakeem? Only if you put it in slow-mo

 

[illmatic99]

Simons also playing but on a minutes restriction.

- from casey

Will he actually come off the bench like many want? Would make sense if he's restricted.

 

[inconceivable]

So Dame and Shaedon wil start?

Potential starting backcourt after Ant is traded by deadline

d0ubt chauncey does it

 

[PDXFonz]

I don’t think he will be traded.

But I’d love to see Shaedon as the starting 3 with Dame and Ant.

 

[BankTeller]

Dude better be an AS by the time we even think about trading him. Imo, if he doesn’t get the return of an AS, there’s almost no point of moving him yet.

 

[Wade Garrett]

Somewhere in Miami, there is a Heat fan on a forum, and he is no doubt posting something like: "Figures..both Lillard AND Simons coming back..We can't catch a break."
lol.
Let's get this one.

 

[Wade Garrett]

I don’t think he will be traded.

But I’d love to see Shaedon as the starting 3 with Dame and Ant.

I think Chauncey is toying with the idea of removing Hart, and starting Winslow.
Eventually, it will be Shaedon's.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

d0ubt chauncey does it

Looks like you are correct.

 

[Chris Craig]

Dame is playing tonight!

He wants his revenge vs the Heat
