It was a real treat to be able to watch the game last night.

It was also nice to see our rookie score his first points in the NBA. I hope since he is with the team he gets some minutes again soon.

If by that you mean the kings blow out the opponents and are up by double digits in the last minute of the 4th...yeah me too.

I thought Bazemore was huge in this game. He frustrated the hell out of Lavine. Good win. Bottle it and drink it against Minni.

Bazemore hasn’t been knocking down shots, but he is an excellent defender. I think he is giving the Kings a lift.

It’s amazing how much better a team plays, and more engaged, when it’s a meritocracy and not agenda driven. That’s the Heat’s whole secret sauce: merit.

Anyway, next big hurdle...Bagley comes off the bench when healthy.

That would seem to assume that Dedmon is better than Bagley in the starting lineup. I don't think that is the case. Dedmon didn't play better than Bagley in Miami, that's for sure.

Holmes.

Holmes.

That's a different kettle of fish. A lot can happen in a few weeks, so we'll see what happens then.

Totally agree. Holmes, Bazemore, and Joseph are an excellent trio to have for defensive final play situations. Now, if we can only be in the lead during final possessions. Bazemore's play was very noticeable on the defensive end in this one. Bazemore and Fox running into passing lanes on our zone defense was giving Chicago problems.

Unless Luke plans to switch on everything leading to Joseph having to guard a big at the rim. Someone like I dunno Bam Adebayo.
