How about we can just watch basketball?

Welcome to the Daily Ding.

Hope you guys are doing great on this Friday.

I've got Mo to Kiel with me. I'm Andrew Schlecht.

Mo, we're going to talk about some kind of some sleepy basketballs tonight. We went off from the

Wednesday that was just like chock full of just action. And then we just kind of had this like

struggle to score sleepy night in the NBA. No, no, no, no, no. You can call it what it was. It was a crappy night of basketball. You can just, let's just be honest. You were trying to be nice. I'm just being honest with you. It wasn't really a great slate of games. There was a potential of great games. Yeah. But it didn't turn out with how the gameplay ended up going out there, and it just wasn't the best basketball we've had out there.

Yeah. Let's start in Miami. First, I want to just lay out some facts here before I even tell you what the score was, because if I told you, Mo, that Jason Tatum wouldn't score his first point until 1119 in the fourth quarter.

He missed his first free throw, made the second.

That's his first point.

Didn't make his first field goal until 836 left.

He was 0 of 8 from deep.

Jalen Brown leaves the game with only 17 points with right hamstring tightness.

What in the world would you think the score would be, Mo DeKeele? Not 9578.

When a Boston win. I wouldn't have thought Boston put up 95 points. I don't think that was

something I would have expected. I think that was give, give Boston a ton of credit.

The most important thing, I know all the drama was around Marcus Smart and his comment about

assists and things like that and everything along those lines. But their bigger issue was defense

and they defended like a wolf pack today. Like this was impressive, holding this heat team to 78 points and they took the heat out of everything.

The heat only had five fast break points.
