Couple of things i noticed in the game
  • Chalmers was serious when he said he was gonna "turn heads this year"
  • Napier is a legit rotation player but he needs to work on his shot. Defenses keep leaving him open on purpose knowing he cant shoot. And the fact that he does NOT even bother to shoot the open shots will only make it worse.
  • I see what Spo meant about Bosh and the touches. We need to see more of him and McRoberts together
  • As for McRoberts, i love his game. Dude is like young UD but with a 3pt shot and better passer
  • Haslem has looked fresh the last 2 games. If he is fully healthy we'll be so damn deep
  • Ennis needs to work on his defense if he wants playing time

Napier should be the starter pg. The team will be even better if he become the primary facilitator. Chalmers turning out to be a great 6th man.
No... not yet. See the above comments. If you get a chance go back and watch the game especially the 3rd quarter. Dallas left him open on purpose at the 3pt line 3 out of 4 plays in a row. When we rotated the ball out of the double-teams and swung it to his side (as we should) he caught the ball and didnt even bother to shoot. Other teams will see this and start using it against us and fukk up our spacing. Deng being hot bailed us out but we cant afford to have someone not even attempt the open shot when given.

Anyone that saw him play in college knows that he can shoot. And not just from the college line. He would shoot from nba range a lot of times. He hasn't shot it great in the last few games (the 2 3s he missed tonight were in and out) but he hit a 3 in 3 straight games earlier in the season. The tentativeness is probably a result of him not wanting to try to do too much and just fit in and be a facilitator.

He'll be good as he gets more comfortable with the game and with having to shoot from nba range consistently.

just saw the score, thats a big time win brehs. Deng was ballin huh.
The score is misleading. Game wasnt close at all in 2nd half. We got up by as much as 24 at some point
I talked about Napier's shot in preseason, I think it has to do with his leg and core strength. Won't improve much during the season, but another full offseason next year and he should be good to go
Yeah he needs to because it looks bad right now
