    What happened to the defense? I thought it because of JH we were so bad? Well that’s what I was told anyways. This team plays defense like AND1 games from back in the day.

    The team is clearly playing much better with Wall. Ofcourse playing better is a relative term.

    I was told we would get to a new level without PJ Tucker?

    they always seem just unprepared, and most of the guys have either quit on the season, don’t wanna be here, or are young and just clueless on that end

    If Miami would just give us shorter contracts(no actual assets) for Wall.....I might take it. Not because I hate Wall but because he's actually playing well and I think that might mitigate his contract in trade talks.

    I would like to see him play to but those 10 min were horrible and we went down double digits with him on there and even the plays that resulted in positives by him were off of deflections.
    I say this bc I think he is being affected by the injury

    Umm who told you that? Most people on clutchfans always defended harden over the last few years when it came to his defense.

    OKC really thought they could out-tank us. Our tanking is on another level

    he definitely looked horrible in the 1st half, but I’d rather see him out there even if he’s playing like trash than seeing Wall and Dipo struggling to be competitive against these unknown players from OKC...just gotta wait until Dipo is finally traded in order to open up some PT for him

    I’m not sure how franchise player John Wall would fit into Miami. That’s clearly JBs team and Walls ego is a tough obstacle to crack. Oladipo would be a much better fit for Miami.

    What a weird half. Wall, Oladipo, Wood, House, and Tate all played well and they’re still losing at the half.


    Porter was -11 in 10 minutes.

    I worry with his psyche. Not sure what's worse for him, continuing to play bad or not play when he is having a bad game.
    I would much rather lost wall than dipo if I had to pick one just bc I think dipo doesn't take away from kpjs game.

    Eh, I think its less about ego and more about shooting. I think if you put Wall with people who are clearly better, he will fall in line.

    Bill and Calvin >>>

    It’s actually Bull’s corniness that rubs off on Bill.

    Bad defense is a strong trait of young teams...
