Game Thread GAME# 37: BLAZERS @ HEAT - JANUARY 5, 2020 - SUNDAY, 3:00 PM, NBCSNW

[KSF-ERIC]

They have Jimmy Butler and nothing! How the heck are they 25-10?

What? Bam is an All Star this year and they hit on two draft picks Herro and Nunn.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

The bolded part is the reason IMO much more than rookies who are playing well. Now I give credit to the coach to developing them and putting them in positions to succeed to be sure. Bam gets 15 points, 10 rebounds and a block in 34 minutes shooting 57%. If he is 'very good', what does that make someone getting 15.5, 13.6 and 2.8 blocks shooting 60% in 29.6 minutes?

You left out Bam's 4.4 assists per game. 1.3 steals too. He's been a better version of 2015-19 Draymond Green this year.

Glad we are resting CJ, like we are winning this game.

 

[DDolla]

for me, that's an additional reason to watch

wait a minute...an illness is the excuse teams always use when they hold a player out because of an impending trade...be still my heart!



is that Miami signalling they aren't worried about Portland?

make them pay Dame!

Like the Raptors don’t need to practice to beat the Blazers

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Holding him out for Love trade? It should be noted we were without CJ for almost a month at the end of last season and still played very well. Another reason last year's run was so impressive.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

So who starts? Simons or Trent? Or Mario maybe? Maybe Baze moves to the 2?

 

[RipCity4Life0]

If jimmy butler is out i can see us winning this game

CJ is ineligible to be traded until January 30th so that ain't it!
