Couper Moorhead

Maybe it was Bruce Lee. Maybe it was Jackie Chan or Tony Jaa. Everyone has that one fighter who unlocked an entire genre for them. That genre used to be difficult to share, but not anymore. Here are the 51 Greatest Fight Scenes...According To One Guy: bit.ly/51-Greatest-Fi…

And we have ourselves another clutch Heat game.

Lakers started sending a bit more help toward the end of the first half after mostly leaving their weaker defenders on an island. Something to keep an eye on for the second half.

Heat's 26 Points In The Paint is a 1st Q season-high for the team and tied for the fourth-most any team has scored in a 1st Q this season. Lakers having all sorts of trouble stopping the drive.

First time this lineup has been used this season, for any minutes not just as starters.

@CoupNBA what site is this

On/Off Differential among players with at least 1,500 minutes played this season...

@CHold If Ang Lee can figure out when to get the hell out of the way while making a movie look good, anyone can.

@CoupNBA Hiring a director whose previous projects have nothing to do with action whatsoever would lead me to believe they have already decided to avoid that path, but we'll see (maybe!)

Tell me who the fight choreographer is first, then we'll talk.

Would certainly help if the Heat can get out of the Play-In, but all I'm saying is there may be an All-NBA discussion to be had here. (All-Defense is the bare minimum, with upside for DPOY pending eligibilities.)

@Biyombonesaw I'm already preparing myself for the days when people try to use AI Keith David voice.

@CoupNBA I heard Keith David's voice so I'm in

Have...have they rediscovered color grading...relatively speaking?

@CHold I mean, if they at least hired 87Eleven or like...Kenji Tanigaki, then they would have my attention. Hell, have Bren Foster star. There's a path, but it's a narrow path.

@CoupNBA There is no possible way this will be good (if it ever happens, which it probably won't)

Not that this looks like the Raimi movies or anything like that, but some of the colors are actually popping and the night scenes look like night.

It's never easy to win without Bam. But when you shoot 19 percent from three and Charlotte is passing one step ahead of your defense in the fourth, you're pretty much left trying to ice skate uphill. Takeaways: nba.com/heat/news/coup…

This little Keshad Johnson burst feels very similar to what Myron Gardner did against OKC.

Keshad Johnson has already hit a career-high three from three.

Pretty even period, both sides probably feel like they left some points on the table, though Charlotte's two whiffed dunks the most obvious cases of that.

With Bam out, very good chance this Hornets game comes down to how Charlotte handles the zone. That's the coverage that sunk Charlotte's offense for a couple stretches in the second half while Miami hit all those threes to pull ahead.

@EternalBast I'm not ready today but I have nine months to prepare myself.

@CoupNBA ARE YOU READY COUP!

December 18 is a national holiday.

Everyone sees it, right?
