Pennsylvania's Pssa Opt-out Rates Tripled In 2015

Observations and other notes of interest from Monday night’s 123-118 double-overtime loss to the Sacramento Kings: – Erik Spoelstra went back to the expected on Monday night. – Jaime Jaquez Jr. responded with a bit of everything. – After some creative, albeit unproductive, lineup tinkering by the Heat’s coach in the first game of Jimmy Butler’s seven-game suspension in Saturday night’s blowout loss to the Jazz, Spoelstra went with Jaquez as a starter Monday night. – Jaquez responded with one of his best performances of the season. – And certainly his most compete. – No, not a dynamic scorer. – No, not Jimmy Buckets 2.0. – But mature beyond his NBA experience. – And able to fill the boxscore. – So rebounds when needed Monday. – Assists when needed. – Enough points to join in the scoring. – And a mix of blocks and steals, to boot. – The finals numbers: 16 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists, 5 steals. – Yes, a couple of costly missed free throws. – But also the aggression to go for that critical late rebound. – If this is the Jaime Jaquez Jr.

Because Wanna Get Away assuredly had to be the theme for this six-game western swing, with Erik Spoelstra’s team coming off consecutive lopsided losses and dealing with the seven-game team suspension of Jimmy Butler for conduct detrimental to the team.

And, so, the misery continues, despite a triple-double from Jaime Jaquez Jr., a double-double from Bam Adebayo and 26 points from Tyler Herro. Unable to get the win at the end of regulation when Herro was off with a jumper, and unable to close it out in overtime, when Jaquez missed a pair of free throws, the Heat fell back to .500, at 17-17, done in by long-time nemesis DeMar DeRozan, who seized control in overtime to close out his 30-point night. And now, no rest for the weary, with the Heat off to San Francisco, for a Tuesday night game against the Golden State Warriors, 0-2 in these first two games of Butler’s suspension. Five Degrees of Heat from Monday night’s game: 1.
