I know it's bad to post crap from imgur, but I thought this was funny.

I mean finally the truth and C-Webb's commentary coincide.

And we thought Harden's ball watching was bad, it looks like Stat is staring at the rim, or maybe the cheerleaders.

I think he thought that pass was a shot, and was expecting a teammate to grab the rebound. Still shitty play but not as bad as it seems IMO

Agreed. It looked enough like the beginnings of a jumpshot for it to be a legitimate mistake. Still bad to be fooled that way, but I still consider it better than what we've seen from Harden this season...

You guys are too forgiving. That was as abysmal as it gets.

At first glance of this gif i was expecting Bargs to get dunked on and go sprawling onto the floor looking like a stick insect.

But yeh, that was beyond awful Lol, can't forgive that. Then again, even when facing the correct way his defense doesn't tend to fare much better

For a team that plays such awful defense, the Knicks players sure aren't adverse to giving each other pointers on the court. notice Bargs motioning at Stoudemire in the gif.

It's the goggles man. They fogged up and he couldn't see.

That's pretty horrible. I would say he got caught "ball watching" but he didn't even do that lol.

What's funny is it looks like it was his original man who made the pass there? So they switched defenders and he just didn't do a good job? I didn't watch the play so legitimately wondering.

This is the other scary story of the Heat's season so far:

I enjoyed "Like a Bosh" back in 2011, but he's playing so much better now. We already saw the defensive improvement in the playoffs last year (I'm not sure there's a single better PnR defending big in the league) but through 10 games he's been crazy efficient on offense. Maybe not Lebron crazy, but pretty great nonetheless.

He's only averaging 16/5.7 with 1.4 blocks, but he's doing it in just 28 mpg. That's like 10mpg less than he was doing during his "career years" in Toronto. And it's on 57% shooting and 50% from 3's (taking 2 per game.) Both him and Lebron have a TS% >67%!

And look at the aggressiveness in that video. Look at him pinning Horford and Ayon out of position, like everyone's complaining Dwight doesn't do. He'll probably still get beat up by stronger PFs, but overall I think he really deserves consideration as one of the best bigs in the game again. Great defender, cerebral and shooting lights out. Can't wait to see how he does against David West this year.

Agree, Jibba. I haven't been able to see more than one Heat game I think, but I was impressed looking at some of his offensive numbers so far through basketball-reference.

And me too, Heat vs Pacers has to be the best matchup for this season IMO. Must-watch games.

Can't remember where I saw this (it might have actually been in this very thread), but this is my new favorite video.

And I'm not exaggerating when I say it's my new favorite video of all time. It really is fantastic. Any Arrested Development reference gets a +1 from me.

Also...damn the Heat for beating my Hawks. I know we're capable of beating them, but it really depends on Teague and Horford having big games. But I think the decision to limit their minutes was an awesome one by Budenholzer, as we have four games in five days this week and it's more important to win the ones we should win (aka Detroit) verses trying to beat perennial championship contenders.
