Agree with JR Smith. Shump and JR can take turns guarding Brunson, but who on this Knicks team is stopping LeBron and Kyrie? The 2016 Cavs had the two best players in that matchup. That’s a tough problem to solve in a 7-game series.
J. R. Smith responds to a fan saying these New York Knicks could beat the 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers . He says We’d beat them, put me and Shump on Jalen Brunson and who on the Knicks is guarding LeBron James and the little guy people say he doesn’t like, number 2 (Kyrie Irving)
Depends on the matchup. Wemby shouldn’t be limited to one path. He has the tools to be KD on the perimeter and Olajuwon/Jefferson in the post. Especially in late-game situations, that versatility is what will make him truly unguardable.
Hindi porke nasa ICC po si dating pangulong Duterte o kaya mapunta din si Sen Bato eh nasakop na ng foreign law ang Pilipinas. Magbasa po tayo kung ano ang ICC huwag palagi emosyon ang pinaiiral.
@prinsesachinita And nagbabayad din kami ng TAX Hindi lang kayo mga artista and our voice is not about Sen Bato but the constitution, protect Philippine Constitution. Kung gusto niyo magpasakop sa foreign law kayo lang wag kami idamay.

The FBI inadvertently helped Deni Avdija reach his star potential
Step 1: Deni traded from Washington to Portland
Step 2: FBI arrests Chauncey Billups leaving Tiago Splitter as Head Coach
Step 3: Splitter trusts Deni to play his true position as Point Forward
Result: Deni joined Luka Doncic and Nikola Jokic as only players in the NBA to average 24, 7 & 7
Respect to Pat & Spo, but the results aren’t there anymore. Constant small-ball, no identity, always chasing a whale, same outcome every year.4 years of play-in says everything. 4 straight play-ins isn’t Heat standard @MiamiHEAT
Dwyane Wade says the Miami Heat have Been a disgruntled organization the last few years:
“It’s not secret that the Miami Heat need to re tool. They need to figure it out. They continue to put out All Stars but you just got to put out the right mix together so you can get back to that place you’re accustomed to being at. That’s the playoffs and competing for something. It’s not just championships, it’s in the playoffs competing for something. You just want a chance. We haven’t given ourself a chance. We’ve been in the play in the last 4 years. People got mad at me when I said it but no lies detected. It’s not that the talent isn’t there. It’s just the meshing of the talent is not there…. It started when everything started going down with Jimmy and the Heat. We’ve been a disconnect organization since that point. We been a disgruntled organization the last few years.”

The Chicago Bulls reportedly made this offer for Tyler Herro at the deadline:
Miami receives: Anfernee Simons, Collin Sexton and a protected draft pick
Chicago receives: Tyler Herro
Heat fans would you have accepted this?
Jovic you’re a pro,adjust & earn your minutes.this isn’t just on you.
Spo too inconsistent all season,random rotations, no clear offense, same small ball habit.Guys playing out of position,Jovic at 4/5, Wigs at 4, Larsson at 3.Long list.not strategy,forcing roles.same results.
Nikola Jovic believes inconsistent minutes led to his struggles in new offense:
“I thought this offense would be good for me too but I think the part that didn’t help me was the fact my playin time was so inconsistent”
Pelle Larsson on Bam Adebayo:
“I can just see how he’s still learning in this point of his career. He’s been an All-Star, scored 83 points but he’s still learning and adjusting to what the defense is doing — now he’s getting double-teamed…”

#onlyexplanation.You’ve got size &still refuse to use it properly.If he’s that important,build the rotation around him. Devt needs reps &the right https://t.co/rczFlhhxus say he’s key, but your system says otherwise. Stop forcing small ball &let the kid actually grow.@MiamiHEAT
Erik Spoelstra on moving Pelle Larsson to the bench for Kel'el Ware:
“A lot of it was trying to get Kel'el into that lineup. Kel'el is really important to what we're trying to do. We know about his upside. This can get him next to Bam and stabilize him to start the game.
Sometimes the lineups with Bam have been really good, and we end up going longer with that, which leaves Kel'el sitting on the bench. And he's a key player for us. So [starting] allows him to get minutes right out of the gate.”
Fans are too.Small ball isn’t https://t.co/ZYVf1s513x’ve got Wiggins fighting 7-footers instead of playing SF, zero rebounding, zero interior presence. What lineup were you using when you were winning? Thats the question?If you want Herro+Powell to play together, bench Davion.
Coach Spo is extremely disappointed in his team after the the beatdown by the Cavs 😬
“It’s extremely disappointing...We’ve put in the time. The guys have put in blood, sweat, and tears to develop a top-four defense two weeks ago. And when we need it the most is when we’ve let it disappear"
Thoughts ?
This just proves system matters.
Even “weak defenders” like Duncan can hold up if used correctly.Why Duncan is not hunted by opposing players as Detroit shooting guard? Cos the other 4 are excellent defenders. Spo’s rotations and roles are the real problem in @MiamiHEAT
Pistons continue to dominate on defense 🔒
Entering today, Detroit ranked No. 1 in SPG (10.5) and BPG (6.3).
They racked up 11 steals and 9 blocks in their road victory 😤
Don’t forget when LeBron James and Dwyane Wade vowed to NOT take any 3-pointers.
You’ll never see this type of chemistry show on a basketball court again.
simple basketball, size+rebounding wins.Below lineups fix both.Small ball with poor defenders just creates same problems every game.But Spo is stubborn, keeps forcing small ball when it clearly doesn’t work.Cavs exposed it last playoffs & nothing changed.Garbage in,garbage out.
D alone isn’t enough for a starting PG anymore.If your PG can’t score/pressure defenses,you’re playing 4vs5 on offense. That’s a system problem,not just a player https://t.co/dF6KwkH5sM can’t have a non-scoring PG & expect spacing to work @MiamiHEAT
Davion Mitchell isn't a huge scorer for the Heat, but last night was NOT a good night for him at all 😬
