I don’t care if it’s pre-season, if Kevin Love throws a full-court outlet pass for a transition layup Steve Clifford will be livid – 7:22 PM

I asked Erik Spoelstra about his impressive showing in the GM survey and he ended up talking about Bam Adebayo not getting a single vote for best defensive player in the NBA. Classic Spoelstra. pic.twitter.com/W5ossXpKog – 6:08 PM

Steve Clifford on Miles Bridges
“He’s a big, big part of our team. We have to find a way to get off to a good start without him… He’s making it easier just by the nature of how he is. He’s a great worker, a great teammate, he picks things up quickly. He’s all about the group” pic.twitter.com/TS8WwCi7n7 – 6:06 PM

Erik Spoelstra, on Bam Adebayo being largely dismissed defensively in NBA’s GM poll, says of Defensive Player of the Year, “I think that’s a good award to go for.” Says too much being put on blocked shots and steals. – 5:51 PM

Spo doesn’t care about the praise he got in the NBA GM survey. He’s annoyed at the disrespect Bam Adebayo got, calling him “the best defensive player in the league.” – 5:49 PM

Miami’s inexcusable loss was made worse by the mounting evidence of Georgia Tech’s own ineptitude.
More on that in this week’s Bottom 25.

Here is my rotation prediction for the first 10 games of the Hornets season.
The bench back-court is a “Best Guess” with unknowns and injuries. The more I look, the more I think the starters must be staggered with the second unit for offense. pic.twitter.com/0SoV26enbz – 4:36 PM

Very little mention of the Charlotte Hornets in this years GM survey. Miles Bridges received one mention for most underrated player acquisition. Seemed like 50% of the answers were “Jokic” so maybe we need some new questions.
