Same, altho a lot of it was “goddammit this Heat team is resilient” - esp moments like that Herro 3 he had no right to hit when Keon locked him up repeatedly on the possession. Was ready for a “tip your cap we’re still 4-2” loss but wow does the statement win to get to 5-1 with Doug feel so much better
And the video...
Keon had 14 deflections today... to get an idea since this is a stat we don't run into quite often, Dyson Daniels is the league leader averaging 6.6 deflections per match, Oubre is 2nd with 4 and Fox is 3rd with 3.7, so those 14 is a huuuuuuuuuuge number.
From nba.com, Keon is 4th in deflections per 36' with 4.9 (behind Daniels, GPII and Reed Sheppard).

5 wins in a row. I will start by congratulating Coach Christie, What a job turning the team around
Keon is looking great out there. Sabonis played a great game. Demar showed why he is clutch. Murray has bought in and playing really good tonight. Carter is someone to look forward to in the next few games and we going to get Fox back. Good times are ahead. No quit in this team down by 17 in the 4th. We got some dawgs ladies and gentleman

As much as I dislike the Warriors and their fans, I gotta keep it real by pointing out that the Warriors won 73 games that season, not 72.
The Jordan era 95-96 Bulls set previous the record of 72 wins, but the 15-16 Warriors exceeded it with 73.
So that means Douche Kerr’s record on the sidelines was 34-5. Walton’s stretch that season was still better.

Not all that long ago, he wasn’t. He’s been developed. He’ll be 25 years old on Wednesday. Over the past 2 and 1/2 years he’s managed to work his way up from a 2-way contract player to where he is now. Lots of hard work put in by himself and the org.
Among the many knocks on this org by the fan base here at KF’s has been the lack of success from the player development side. Well, Keon’s development from undrafted player to a pivotal rotation piece is huge step in the right direction. Hopefully they’re able to develop a few more of those types of players.

The Warriors and Timberwolves have been struggling a bit lately and the Mavs have lost 5 straight and will now be without Luka AND Kyrie for the next 4-7 games.
The Kings have a chance to make up some ground in the standings. Winning in Boston is not likely, but they've got some winnable games after Friday's game.

Couple of random thoughts:
1. I hope the players take the DPOG in a light-hearted and non-serious way. Singling out one individual over several deserving recipients can end up being demoralizing to the "losers"...even though they are not really losers. This kind of thing has to be handled very delicately.
2. The resurgence of this team under Coach Christie makes Monte's job incredibly complex. His efforts to acquire player(s) to alleviate areas of need are going to involve other teams asking for "throw-ins" that have proven to be vital for the current success of the team. The inclusion of Keon, Keegan, DeRozan, Monk, and/or Carter in trades would launch a revolt of fans of Biblical proportions. Fox, Huerter, Lyles, and end-of-bench players are expected departures, but the trading partners are going to want so much more to sweeten the deals beyond just picks. Good luck, Monte.
