Those aren't Mike Barrett softball questions, lol.

 

[illmatic99]

He's getting shipped to OKC in a few months as part of a CP trade. Hope he's renting.

Prolly a good place to put this



Questions about Dame's shot (2:45) and his reaction to Patterson's Thunder comments (7:30) are hilarious.

If you go to a Miami fan site you will see they are.

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

There really is only one Myers in the world.

 

[Driew]

I'm going to miss Moe so fucking much!

 

[illmatic99]

I haven't heard Chief talk this much in years.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

I'm going to miss Moe so fucking much!

We found the one!

I kid, I liked Moe and Aminu as people, but Im not sure I’ll miss them as players.

 

[BLAZINGGIANTS]

I'm going to miss Moe so fucking much!

Agreed.

I might be amongst the minority, but dealing Moe will be a minus on our roster. He obviously was inconsistent, and his stats leave something to be desired, but I think his contributions were greater than his stats would have one believe.

It's one of the reasons we got swept against the pelicans the playoffs before last. Moe was still coming back from injury when that series started. He was vital to our success.

Mo Harkless and Turner were both hurt.

How’d you get that far?

I wonder how long it took for him to mention his wife or drew hanlen.

Literally less than 37 seconds

Well, it did make mention in the Miami Herald:

https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/nba/miami-heat/article235562122.html

THIS AND THAT

▪ On Heat rookie Tyler Herro’s first practice, coach Erik Spoelstra said Tuesday: “He was out there, in the losing end of the scrimmage, but he was out there. He’s not afraid of this. He’s competitive, and he loves the live stuff. He’s making us watch. That’s what you have to start with. That’s the only thing you can earn right now, make the head coach watch you.”

▪ During a session with reporters at the Trail Blazers’ media day Monday, former Heat center Hassan Whiteside was asked about his transition from Miami to Portland.

“It don’t matter where you live if you’re not happy on the court,” said Whiteside, who was traded to the Trail Blazers this offseason as part of the four-team deal that brought Butler to the Heat. “This is a place I wanted to come. I wanted to come here for years. So when I finally was able to come here, I really didn’t care about nothing else but basketball.”

As far as Whiteside’s fit with the Trail Blazers, he said: “Coming out here and being that I can really get the ball more, be able to facilitate and be a better play maker. Not just catch lobs, stand in the paint, try to rebound. They’re actually letting me make plays. I’m getting the ball at the elbow, at the top of the key, and being able to pass and make decisions. That’s something I always wanted to do.”

I can see how a player would want this. You got to feel like you are contributing and using all your skills. Makes life more enjoyable.

 

[JoshuaHall]

...did anyone else catch that Meyers “feels comfortable” from beyond the 3pt line?

Meyers gonna start shooting dem Lillard bombs.

side note: wish I could see Jimmy butler and Meyers in practice, that’ll be gold

 

[Pinwheel1]

Agreed.

Yeah there will be times on defense where we will Harkless, but there would have been a lot more times we would have missed not having a rim protector until Nurk gets back. Not only did we pick up Whiteside but we picked up his huge ending contract in the event we want to trade him after Nurk gets back. Not sure there was any other choice.

 

[Scalma]

Pander more.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Pander more.

Just wait until Jimmy sees Bieb's defense....

Working out that hard at 3 in the morning can't be good for anyone ... get some damn rest!
