takeaway from the 20 min they played together is Jalen’s mere presence makes RJ’s life so much easier. doesnt have to take on the most difficult defensive assignment AND run the offense AND get his own shot every time anymore. only one of those. addition by subtraction. progress? – 8:55 PM

Jaylen Nowell has improved his decision making and reading of the game. The previous season helped him a lot to increase his confidence level. He can be Timberwolves 6th man easily. #RaisedByWolves – 8:49 PM

Bam to Yurtseven in the corner for a 3 right before the half. Probably the most promising part of the first half for the Heat. That and Herro getting to the rim and Bam making 5 of 11 shots. – 8:44 PM

Yurtseven with the corner 3
Like I said, quick trigger
Caleb Martin definitely shaken up in obvious discomfort going into the half
Now that’s something that’ll be tough to look past – 8:44 PM

Forbes seems like, should he play, he might make sense to play rotation minutes when Gobert is on the floor. (Defense not great, Gobert can help clean up but can shoot, space the floor).
Thoughts? – 8:26 PM

First 6:36 of the Bam-Yurt frontcourt: Miami trails 17-13, tied MIN with 7 rebounds, Bam and Yurt combine for 4 points on 2 of 7 shooting.
Sooooo not great. But it’s also preseason and now is the time to work through things. – 7:59 PM

Bam Adebayo has attempted four shots in the first six minutes. No 3s, but several long 2s. Not popping out to 3-point range as willingly as he did in last night’s informal scrimmage. – 7:55 PM

Heat was just issued a sideline warning. New rule the NBA is looking to enforce this season.
Second warning will result in a technical foul. – 7:45 PM

Without Gobert, Towns and Russell, there is still a lot worth watching tonight for the Wolves.
-Edwards in more of a playmaking role.
-McDaniels’ improvement in transition.
-Nowell getting the start – 7:41 PM
