Heat at Jazz

[Xiao Yao You]

Miami: Gabe Vincent (right knee soreness) is probable. Avery Bradley (https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/4750/) (right calf strain), Goran Dragic (https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/4507/) (left ankle sprain), Meyers Leonard (left shoulder surgery) and Chris Silva (left hip flexor strain) are out.

Utah: The Jazz have not yet submitted a report for Saturday, but Mike Conley, Elijah Hughes and Udoka Azubuike missed Friday’s win over the Bucks.

Probable starting lineups


Miami Heat

F Jimmy Butler

F Kelly Olynyk

C Bam Adebayo

G Duncan Robinson

G Kendrick Nunn

Utah Jazz

F Bojan Bogdanovic

F Royce O’Neale

C Rudy Gobert

G Joe Ingles

G Donovan Mitchell

[Xiao Yao You]

back to back. No word on Niang yet!

[DoctorP]

Gabe Vincent: sucks
Avery Bradley: sucks
Dragic: good but old and breaking down
Leonard: sucks
Silva: sucks

this Heat team is a glorified G league team. They have enough young talent, should pick up some vets. They may trade for Bjelica. That would be a good move.

Wow five injuries for the miami teats rofl

It might be a miracle if they somehow win against the team with the best record in the league rn

where were you and your fellow trolls last night?

This one's gonna be interesting :lol

I’m actually watching Nets Warriors. The streams keep lagging. Don’t expect Heat to win this but there’s always a chance of Butler is healthy.

[Proctor]

where were you and your fellow trolls last night?
I watched the game. I watch a lot of Jazz games. Apparently you don't

I was in the game thread too...apparently your memory is more questionable than the worst player in the league Niang

[Xiao Yao You]

I watched the game. I watch a lot of Jazz games. Apparently you don't

Rudy was too good to comment?

[RRR3]

I watched the game. I watch a lot of Jazz games. Apparently you don't
Generally if someone thinks Rudy Gobert is better than Ad it’s a good bet that they don’t watch games.

[Xiao Yao You]

Bam wants no part of Rudy

[Proctor]

Rudy was too good to comment?
He's the 3rd best player on the Jazz. I don't make a routine habit of popping into GTs and discussing 3rd best players

That would be the equivalent of me strolling into GS game threads a few years back to discuss Draymond. What's the point? He may be the most valuable to that certain teams success but he's still the 3rd or 4th best player

Everyone knew the Jazz would blow out Milwaukee. Giannis is overrated and completely game-plannable

you do it all the time! :facepalm

[Xiao Yao You]

Bam can't do anything

[Proctor]

you do it all the time! :facepalm

Stop trolling and enjoy the game. Get him out of your mouth and act like a civilized human being

[Axe]

Miami with a hot start

[RRR3]

[DoctorP]

Robinson sucks this year and he sucks at moving without the ball. Curry is miles ahead in that category

[Xiao Yao You]

bad news for the Heat. Niang is back!

[RRR3]

bad news for the Heat. Niang is back!
0-3 :yaohappy:

[Proctor]

0-3 :yaohappy:
Niang is a slower and less skilled Brian Scalabrine :lol

[RRR3]

Niang is a slower and less skilled Brian Scalabrine :lol
Yeah he’s trash

[Xiao Yao You]

nice post up by Niang and than a 3. 2nd best defensive rating on team. Does so many things!

[DoctorP]

Jazz are peaking early this season. I don't see them as a finals contender anyways.

[Xiao Yao You]

Niang keeping them close!

[RRR3]

I don’t think it’s possible to make the finals if Gobert is your best player.

[Axe]

Teats are choking

[DoctorP]

I don’t think it’s possible to make the finals if Gobert is your best player.

it's possible but unlikely

[DoctorP]

Bam as a max player? I still have my doubts

[DoctorP]

I like the Heats young guards. don't know why they got Bradley. Harkless and Leonard were terrible signings in hindsight. Heat need an upgrade soon

[Xiao Yao You]

Bam might want to give up. Got Rudy in the air and Rudy still made the play. Incredible!

[RRR3]

Bam as a max player? I still have my doubts
That’s cuz you’re retarded.

[highwhey]

it is starting to dawn on me that the jazz are https://media0.giphy.com/media/WrJ8x0niiblWEoo7hE/200.gif

[DoctorP]

That’s cuz you’re retarded.

yeah hes clearly lifting the heat to wins all by himself like a real max player, isn't he?

Butler is Miamis best player by far

[Xiao Yao You]

Ugly half. 3's not falling but still leading. Nice to have defense back in Utah

[RRR3]

A 23 year old player is averaging close to 20/10/5, plays elite defense and you’re questioning whether they’re worth the max. Thank god you’re not the Heat’s GM

[DoctorP]

meh. he's good, great even, but I do question it when he can't give you wins. It's like the Gobert situation... do these guys deserve max money when they can't win you a game by themself? Maybe.

And Bam doesn't play "elite" defense. He plays solid defense but he's not on Goberts level defensively.

That said, his block on Tatum was legendary.

[RRR3]

He’s 23 and in case you didn’t notice he was playing with actual G Leaguers. He’s not LeBron.

[DoctorP]

Exactly, he's not on that type of level yet, which is why i question the monetary commitment at this stage.

He's been owned tonight. The kid's learning a hard lesson from a master

[Nike D'Antoni]

what a team.Jazz start 3rd quarter 16 - 0

[Xiao Yao You]

Jazz with their usual big run to blow up the lead. Much like the great GS teams did.

Bam has an awful hoe game as well

[Xiao Yao You]

Best 3rd quarter team in league. They do this nightly

[RRR3]

Spo needs to go. Embarrassing performance by the Heat this year. LeBron really dragged this bum to 2 rings lmao

[Xiao Yao You]

spo dragged bums to the final last year

[Axe]

After leading by 5 earlier in the game, they are now down by 21 lmfao. :oldlol:

[DoctorP]

Riley was with the team last year in the bubble. Maybe that was a factor. Invaluable wisdom.

[RRR3]

spo dragged bums to the final last year
No he didn’t :oldlol:

He had two all-nba level players.

[Nike D'Antoni]

I dont think Jae Crowder is that good of a player. But seems a loss for Heat.

[DoctorP]

turd quarter for miami

[DoctorP]

I dont think Jae Crowder is that good of a player. But seems a loss for Heat.

a good glue guy. Heat really undervalued his energy and chemistry with the lineups.

Also: Jones Jr

[Xiao Yao You]

No he didn’t :oldlol:

He had two all-nba level players.

Bam looks like a bum tonight. Why is it that all these guys that are supposed to be better than Rudy keep getting owned by him?

[Xiao Yao You]

I dont think Jae Crowder is that good of a player. But seems a loss for Heat.

Jazz missed his toughness. Not his 8 3 attempts a game or undying love of Snyder

[DoctorP]

All Heat needed was some length in the frontcourt and perimeter to match the Lakers. they screwed the pooch this offseason to try to get Giannis.

[RRR3]

Bam looks like a bum tonight. Why is it that all these guys that are supposed to be better than Rudy keep getting owned by him?
I’ll answer this when you answer who’s better between AD and Gobert.

[Axe]

Bam looks like a bum tonight. Why is it that all these guys that are supposed to be better than Rudy keep getting owned by him?
Bum adebayo? Whoops.

[Xiao Yao You]

great game for that other bum Niang

[Xiao Yao You]

4 3's by the bum. Great outlet pass. Guy's a ball player!

[Nike D'Antoni]

Jazz fans might adjust their goals for this year. This is a championship team. If you lock first seed, the Lakers - Clippers face each other..and Jazz gets the winner with homecourt advantage.

first seed is big. Need Clippers to take down Lakers

[RRR3]

great game for that other bum Niang
One game doesn’t change the fact that he’s been horrible all year. Use basic logic please.

[Xiao Yao You]

One game doesn’t change the fact that he’s been horrible all year. Use basic logic please.

He hasn't though. Shooting slump to start the year. 2nd best defensive rating. Much improved game

[Axe]

That is if the jazz remain to be consistent. The clippers would be down early with ty lue.

[Xiao Yao You]

another great pass. Niang putting on a clinic

[Axe]

Wonder how teats will do in their next game against the clippers

[DoctorP]

[DoctorP]

I think I will go back to retirement now. This was a waste of time.

[Xiao Yao You]

Even Favors owning poor Bam. Hard lessons for the kid

[Callystarr]

He hasn't though. Shooting slump to start the year. 2nd best defensive rating. Much improved game

You need to stop with that defensive rating, George Niang defense is horrible and you know it

You know darn well he is not one of the best defender is on the team, sit down with that nonsense

[Xiao Yao You]

He's had a great game tonight.

[Mr. Woke]

Butler should not be an All-Star this season.

[Xiao Yao You]

Jazz are taking a physical beating. Bojan(might be a good thing!), Joe, O'Neale...

[Callystarr]

I agree, but twice you mentioned his second best defense of rating on the team, you know darn well he is not a great defender, he historically is a very good shooter, but has been pour this year, but let’s not sit here and act like he is this great defender on the team because you and I both know that is nonsense

[Axe]

Butler should not be an All-Star this season.
:milton

He's much improved. I'd guess that's why his shooting is off. Spent time on other things and neglected his shooting

[Callystarr]

What kind of fan wishes for a player to take a beating, what is wrong with you? You are possibly the worst Jazz fan of ever known

[Callystarr]

He has improved, but without his shooting he is a liability on the court just like bogey

[Xiao Yao You]

big test Monday. Philly has the size that will make it tough for Jazz. Who do you hide Bojan and Mitchell on?

[Callystarr]

Philadephia has its weaknesses also, bogeys defense has actually improved over the last several games, did you see his defense on Butler in this game. You can’t sit here and talk about everybody else’s defense, but not talk about George, your bias shows tremendously

[Xiao Yao You]

Didn't wish for it. He got hurt. Morgan should start

[Xiao Yao You]

He has improved, but without his shooting he is a liability on the court just like bogey

e hasn't been a liability though because he can play.

I'm sure they do. Not a great matchup. They've had Jazz number and that was when they had a PF

[Callystarr]

How do they have the jazz number, when they split the series last season? You over exaggerate tremendously. You can’t compare this Jazz team to previous years jazz teams, you want people to give respect to the jazz on this forum, but you Bash certain players you don’t like all day long...Because you only want them to give respect to the players you like

I don't care what anyone on this board thinks. Mostly trolls. Sorry I'm just not in the anything the Jazz do is fine by me category

[Xiao Yao You]

subway sub Niang :cheers:

[Xiao Yao You]

Niang 14 pts and 5 ass. Miimum contract, 9th guy in rotation yet he's supposed to do more! :lol

[Xiao Yao You]

Great D first 3 quarters. Took Bam and Butler, two of the guys supposedly better than Rudy out of the game.

[Xiao Yao You]

Niang may be pricing himself out of Utah

[Xiao Yao You]

the trolls were sure quiet for some reason

[Axe]

But i thought they were the conference champs from the east last year huh?

[Mask the Embiid]
