    I'm not sure Eric Spoelstra was a "high-school standout".

    It's my opinion based on both seem to have the respect and connection with their players, enough so that they can asked even their stars to be accountable.

    Rumor swirling that Ayton *refused* to go back in the game because he was upset they weren’t running plays for him lol

    Apparrntly there was a back and fourth between him and Monty on the bench.

    And some of u want to trade for him LOL

    Well maybe they should have? They scored only 27 freaking points in the entire 1st half!

    He's in the Jesuit High School Athletic Hall of Fame and was the West Coast Conference Freshman of the Year in 1989 at the University of Portland.

    He was not a highly sought after high school recruit as far as I know.

    Looks like both teams are trying pretty hard and Boston is shorthanded so they'll likely fade towards the end of the game but we'll see.

    Yes! And I’ll be all over Chauncey to run the ball through him 7 of 10 times down the floor!

    who’s their center?

    min my hypothesis, we’d have a healthy Nurkic for GS to defend…

    Well the teams he had success with were extremely balanced. Rip had higher usage than he did and Sheed had almost identical usage numbers to Chauncey and that's with Chauncey bringing the ball up, so in sets these guys had higher usage rates. I think Chauncey gets it, I just wonder if the vestiges of Neil Olshey can give Chauncey the right pieces to get the job done.
