most frustrating part of tonight's L was that a team with more experience closing these out wins it going away. Gotta crawl before you can walk or some dumb cliche.

Its only been two games but I hope Brown tries to get Murray a bit more involved in the offense. Maybe a couple possessions in the post. A little more cutting off of Domas. I know he didn't play down the stretch but 7 shots is not enough

The defense is what it is, but having a play that allows you to get into your offense quicker is important to any team on the back side of a close one. You always want to use the front end of the clock rather than rely on the other team leaving you time. They got the the tie but no, I wasn't a fan of calling that particular timeout if that was his last one. The play clock wasn't even running out.

Although TD played good d on that amazing shot, I don't think defense when I think of TD and Deli I think was over used this game. Brown seems to fall in and out of love with players quick. This may have been a small lineup but everyone and they momma knew hero was shooting that ball.
Plus the lineup was there for much longer than that last possession and getting worked on the def end on rebounds we should have changed way befoee this

They screwed up by allowing Lowery to get a 2 for one by letting the ball roll up with the clock stopped. You have to make them pick up the ball on the in bounds and run the clock under 24 seconds.
they also overpay for a Duncan Robinson and hell they even want to get rid of Lowry now. They are just a well coached, well executing team. A team to aspire to.
No just 40% of them.
I definitely wish teams would challenge that stupid roll up more. Full agreement there.

Yeah, what the heck happened with KZ? From starter to not playing. Is he hurt or something?

Apparently this was the first game of the season he hasn’t played
+yup.
He's a very good defender when locked in, which he was, AND the best rebounding guard on the team, which could easily have come into play.
Even when he started he really didn't play major minutes. I think Keegan just came out and said you have no excuse not to start me, which then meant there was no excuse to play KZ? I don't know.
really? invisible to me the last 3. I guess I missed quite a bit of the last games.
Damn Brown actually comes out and calls the travel there. He's been very restrained on calling out officiating til now.

All this good effort comments.
At what point should we expect to win games? Honest question. I mean when do we say that we should have won a game? On paper I dont see how Miami without butler is the better team yet. We always seem to lose when the teams Star player is out. Everytime I see it I expect a loss these days

not patting anyone on the back or celebrating a moral victory here.

Miami also had the most wins in the eastern conference last season and just played us five days ago. Plus we were also missing our best player.

That’s a shame.
Kings would’ve deserved a win here. They played a good game pretty much all the way through. Just couldn’t put a big run together to get the separation. It was pretty much the same mode all the way through for both teams.
Not a whole lot to dissect. It was a back and forth game and Heat got the last good shot which I thought was defended well. Refs were fairly true to form in the 4th and made a couple trash calls but mostly had a good game.
Kings lost because they allow too many second chance opportunities. Everything else in this game was pretty much dead even.
10 points for Dedmon bothers me but only because he sucked so bad on the Kings I think it takes a lot of nerve to decide to be worth a damn when he plays against the Kings..but that’s just fan stuff.
Great game for Domas. Refs let him play and the results speak for itself. The most slick he’s looked in the high post to this point.
Another strong game for Huerter and Monk had the performance we need from him off the bench.
Holmes actually had pretty good minutes in this game I thought.
This is definetly a rough one for Keegan. Maybe the first game where he actually looked like a rookie at different moments. Cold shooting too. Though I still felt he should’ve been in at the end of the game
Davion also had a rough night.
Barnes needs to hit those corner threes but he made 2-3 good drives in the 4th where he was clearly fouled and couldn’t get a whistle.
Quiet game for Lyles
More good minutes for Delly. He actually does play good defense. I always figured he’d be scrappy as far hustle and loose balls but wouldn’t really be an effective defensive player but he’s out there pressuring and making plays.
Kings just need to take care of business @ORL and clinch atleast a split on the road trip. They are trending in the correct direction with their play as opposed to opening 4 game skid. Just need to play consistent and the wins will come.

He also had 2 blocks and a steal. How come barnes always gets passes for his terrible play and nobody else. Why do coaches love this guy so much

I understand that, but that was last year. When do we get to be the Timberwolves?
how did we get blessed with this after DaCoach? I hope somehow we don't have to reach to land Kris.

At this point you still have to look at the positives that are there, the question is whether they continue with Fox back. Monk is settling into that chaotic game changer (for the for the better or worse haha, he is what he is) and Davion is getting some minutes to sort his game out.
It just depends how one sees it. I personally think we're still a developing team who will not make the playoffs this year, so I don't expect us to win. If we're able to at the very least be competitive and show signs of growing that is all we can ask for at the moment.

TD played very nice D on Herro? I just don't recall anything sticking out. But even if so, TD isn't known for his D. He is known for bonehead moves tho, and I wouldn't put him in there on D last play of game just for risk of fouling alone.
We new the ball was prob going to Lowry or Herro. Davion I trust on Lowry.. anyone else to switch on had size on TD.
I'd have gone with Murray for the size and IQ.
