Nothing I mean NOTHING will ever come close to the original

Erik Spoelstra says they got humbled tonight: “We’ll figure it out. None of us like to be humbled like that — we have a lot of competitors in the locker room so we’ll get to it…you have to commit to doing ridiculous hard things to be able to defend in this modern NBA…it’s not good enough if you want to win…it never stops if you want to win.” (🎥@Brendan_Tobin YT)

Wolves HC Chris Finch with praise for Giannis and Bam: “The raw physicality…them both getting to their spots with power, they’re both extremely dynamic — they can play all over the floor and they’ll figure it out.”

Anthony Edwards on the Miami Heat defense on him tonight: “They never been a blitzing team — they always just show or switch, they usually switch 1-5 and they got the personnel to switch 1-5 so I knew what it was going to be.”

LaMelo injures Bam and then starts taunting Giannis Yea he’s moving up in the hatewatch

I have 0 concerns about the Miami Heat. Did people forget that the Heatles started their first season 9-8? Miami completely changed their entire team this summer and it will take 10-20 games to get some rhythm going. We generated great looks but shots didn’t fall, I never doubt Spo when he was a superstar on his team.

Terry Rozier tryna talk trash to Davion when his entire career will be remembered for gambling on the court

Bam says having veterans mostly in the locker room will help them get on the same page quicker: “The good thing about it is the new guys are mainly vets. They’ve been part of the locker rooms, championship locker rooms — everybody is kind of familiar with one another because they’ve been around. We do stuff a certain way here and it’s expected. Next game, we’re expected to get stops and play defense.” (🎥@Brendan_Tobin YT)

Bam says Spo will probably make them watch 3 hours of film on defense💀 “Like I said it’s game 1 but we don’t want to make this a habit. For us tomorrow, you know how Spo is — we’re about to watch 3 hours of film and it probably be all defense. We always say when we get stops and run — we’re a hard team to beat.” (🎥@Brendan_Tobin YT)

Giannis takes responsibility for the bad effort tonight: “Our effort gotta be way better…my effort gotta be better…our effort was not good as it was in the past…I have to be better — it starts with me, I have to set the tone.” (🎥@Brendan_Tobin YT)

Giannis on Anthony Edwards performance against his team: “They have two players (Lamelo/Ant) who can make shots that make your spirit get defeated…we didn’t make it as tough as possible, there was times that we did and he still made it…he’s one of the best shooting guards in the league…” (🎥@Brendan_Tobin YT)

Giannis says missing wide open shots was one of the main reasons why they lost tonight: “I feel like shots wasn’t falling. We got some good looks — some open looks…when things go that way the trust level kind of fades away but we can’t be that team…shots will fall, we got great shooters…we didn’t look as fluid like we did in preseason…” (🎥@Brendan_Tobin YT)

Giannis says they have to TRUST their work and each other: “We just gotta trust we been working on, our offense and defense in the preseason felt totally different — I don’t know if it’s jitters…but we gotta be better, we have to be better…we gotta trust one another…when things don’t go our way — we gotta dig in and trust one another…” (🎥@Brendan_Tobin YT)

Anthony Edwards on yelling to the Miami Heat bench👀 “A player on their bench was talking trash…I think it kind of crumbed me up because he was talking pretty crazy and when I started talking to him — he didn’t have much more to say and I don’t really like that. If you’re going to talk sh*t then keep talking sh*t — don’t get quiet…I don’t know his name…” It has to be Myron. (🎥@5ReasonsSports)

Nikola Jovic legitimately might be the biggest EuroLeague/Preseason merchant in history😭

Wolves coach Chris Finch says Giannis and Bam will figure it out: “They’ll figure it out on how to play off each other really well and it takes time — having bigs mesh is a lot harder than it is to mesh smalls…it’ll happen for them and they’re going to be a handful.” (🎥@5ReasonsSports)

LeBron James lost his first game with the Miami Heat… Not worried.

Miami Heat lose and everyone is slandering us… See y’all in June.

Giannis Antetokounmpo just had the MOST points in a Miami Heat debut: 35 PTS 6 REB 1 AST 1 STL 13-19 FGM (68 FG%) 70 TS% 30 MIN The best player in the world.

Anthony Edwards is yelling at the Heat's bench. Myron Gardner probably said something...

Hmm I wonder why we’re losing…
