Shabazz is currently in Shabazz Mode

Heat vs. Cavs. Cavs were up by about 20 points and Heat came back. It was strictly becuase of Shabazz and he forced the game into OT with 2 clutch free throws. He's got 16 points right now, playing out of his mind!

This is awesome to watch. AJ hit a few big 3s too.

Great back and forth battle. Commentators just pointed out its UConn vs. UConn.

napier has looked outstanding today

 

[UConnFan991]

he's just a winner. Doesn't matter where he plays or who he plays with. Very few athletes have what he does.

Good performance for Bazz, I thought after he missed 2 wide open 3s that it was gonna be anothet stinker from the field for him but he recovered. His passing and floor game were more impressive, he would have had even more assists if some guys converted some easy looks. Not sure how things will play out once the season starts cuz he's 3rd in the PG rotation(although there is talk of using Chalmers as a bit of a combo guard), but he's easily the best playmaker of the 3. I don't know what the Cavs roster situation is like but if there is a third PG spot open hopefully AJ grabs that.

Not watching but looking at the play by play... sounds like it's Napier -vs- AJ. Good games for them both. Nice to see a couple UConn PGs taking over! They must have read the Top 5 UConn PGs thread before the game! LOL

Zero turnovers for Bazz. I loved his line in this game, but that's the stat I liked the most.

 

[Kembacity]

Wow, that's all I can say. Hope he can keep doing this

That deep Shabazz three was great

He's bazzle dazzling them. Great to see.

That deep Shabazz three was great

We've been so lucky to see many of those

It's one thing to nail 3's 5 feet behind the line in college but now he's doing it in the NBA.

Nobody mentioned the timing of the big 3. He hit it with 30 seconds left to tie the game. The dude led the comeback. It was really special.

This makes me happy. There is karma in the world.

Mario Chalmers out tonight so Bazz will get the backup minutes after Cole, hopefully he can build on Saturday and have a good showing.

So what were your thoughts when Bazz received that trophy from Emmert? That was karma on overdrive imo.

I love how he was heavily criticized for not being a passing point guard. He easily could be a pass first point guard but that wasnt his role at UCONN as he was relied more for scoring (and still showed to be all around player). All I say to people with this opinion is check out his game vs temple when he went out there threading the needle with ease. I think he will have a pretty good first year and I have no doubt he can take minutes from Cole and Chalmers as the year progresses. This kid has that competitive edge to win not only every game but every play.. Les go fam!!! #boozi

Last year when someone analyzed his long range ability they said it had to do with the way his left hand supported the shot which was a bit different. We saw it so often.

Miami has to be psyched about their rookies, I have no doubt that Shabazz will be getting the most minutes out of the point guards at some point this season and James Ennis is a stud.
