Some notes from last few possessions:
– Don’t like Herro-Robinson doubles
– Dedmon has just been in the right spots all night
– Herro’s recent comfort with that floater is so useful right now with the three ball not falling – 8:28 PM

I’m just in awe that the Nets have already allowed 11 offensive rebounds. They would be blowing out Miami if this wasn’t the case. – 8:28 PM

James Harden went on a personal 11-2 run to bring the Nets back from down 12. We’ve got a 47-42 game in Brooklyn. The Heat are playing physical and the refs are letting everything go, though the 2nd quarter has been more even in fouls called (9-8 MIA). – 8:27 PM

To be honest, the Nets are lucky to only be down 29-22 after the first quarter. The Heat shot just 2-of-9 from downtown on several makeable shots. Miami has 18 rebounds in the first quarter to Brooklyn’s 11. Nets need to step it up. – 8:08 PM

Erik Spoelstra says he’s not overly concerned with Heat leading the league in fouls at the moment. Says it shows his players are playing with force. He said if defense grades out as well as at the moment, even with the fouls, he’ll take it. – 6:09 PM

Joe Harris is just two 3-pointers shy of tying Jason Kidd’s all-time #Nets career record. In typical self-effacing fashion, he said considering his career arc that’s a special moment, but doesn’t expect a new record to last long the way the #NBA game is played. – 5:27 PM

Two reasons why Wizards-Celtics tonight is interesting to me: 1) we saw what happened in Brooklyn, how close are the Wizards to the 2nd tier in the East? 2) J Tatum helped expose their lack of size at the 3 last year, so they added wing defense. How much did they help that cause? – 2:32 PM

It should be obvious that the Heat hang banners for the players who won gold medals while members of the Heat. That’s why LeBron has only one banner up at the arena. Why Jimmy Butler, Chris Bosh and Kyle Lowry don’t have any. Shocking that this needs explaining. – 2:10 PM
