Miami on the road leads Phoenix 80-58 w/o Jimmy Butler , Bam Adebayo and Gabe Vincent. Tyler Herro looks like a completely different player than a season ago. Perhaps MIP this year in the NBA. Max Strus is hoopin. I appreciate the toughness @Kyle Lowry adds. I love Bulls-Heat games. – 10:28 PM

The Bulls play the Bucks 4 times, Toronto-3 times with 2 games remaining against EC contenders :Philly, Miami, Charlotte , Boston. They have yet to play the Suns. Got to love the competition..the Bulls have a tremendously bright present and future with AK/ME/BD and solid players. – 10:21 PM

Other coaches have done a really good job this year. But no one has done a better job than Erik Spoelstra has. Miami just keeps winning games no matter who they put on the floor.

Then on defense, Smith didn’t rotate well that ended up leaving an open 3 for Robinson.
Did a little better closing out on last trip, but again, he just seems out of place at the four, but this is where Williams sees him having an opportunity to play.

On that last possession, Heat left Smith in the corner. Then he got caught with ball away from perimeter and McGee ended up with a bad shot.
And Smith went on the glass, but didn’t get offensive rebound.

Erik Spoelstra on Heat’s long and winding road, “This road trip has been really unique. When you rewind it and think about when we flew into San Antonio [on Dec. 29], that feels like two months ago. I mean that feels like two months ago. We had to remind ourselves this morning.” – 7:56 PM

First time I’ve seen Abdel Nader on the court getting shots up before a game or after a practice/shootaround since his injury. Good sign for his potential return from the right knee injury that has kept him out since mid-November. – 7:39 PM

In Pat Shurmur’s upcoming book about the 2021 Broncos season, “Three and Out,” I can’t wait for the chapter detailing his strategies for burying Javonte Williams. It’s really a clinic for how to take an actual asset and flush it down the toilet. – 4:54 PM

Mavs fans can’t ever say the NBA office has never done them a solid. The Jan 20 game vs PHX has been moved from a 9 PM start to a 6:30 start. It’s the 2nd night of a Home BTB as TOR will be in the night before. – 4:35 PM

If you’re going to the Mavs vs Suns game on Jan. 20 or were worried about it being too late to watch, a heads up for you. NBA announced a game time change today, it will now be 6:30 CST instead of the previously scheduled 9p start. Still an exclusive TNT broadcast – 4:23 PM

Still wild that the Heat are dead last in spot-up shooting frequency this season
Yet 2nd in points per possession
The Heat are currently 4th in the NBA in 3 point % at the moment, which has really kept them above water
PJ Tucker’s surge is a big reason – 3:27 PM
