    Should be a fun matchup tonight.

    Ant could go off with no Lowry.
    Nas v Jimmy is gonna be fun.
    Jusuf v Bam is gonna be a slugfest.

    Having CJ back will likely stifle Ant's progress. I don't like it at all. Either one, fine but both on the floor is dumb.

    Ant needs to figure out how to perform at a high level while sharing the backcourt with a ball-dominant guard. Playing next to CJ will prepare him to play next to Dame. If anything it'll help his development.

    Trade value. That's all that matters. Just need to trade CJ.

    That's a good point. I even hold out hope that CJ could move around and get open for Anf's passes. And Anf could then develop his PG skills further.

    When playing against Butler and Bam and the Miami system; I don't think we need to try to tank.

    Nurk collected his 2nd foul probably coming out and Nas doing a good job on Butler a block against him.

    Nas got fouled by two different people while the refs wait for Bam's shot to not go in before calling a nonexistent foul.

    One example of CJ not being a smart player. He has the ball out on top. Nurk asking for the ball. A Heat player comes racing from the opposite side of the court to double Nurk. This is all out there in front of CJ. Does he pass immediately to the guy left open in the corner ? No. For some reason passes to another Blazer out on top.

    He was smart on O passing to open CJ instead of open Elleby but then on D, he let Ellby take the big guy and he went on the small guy.
