Rough moments, yet he finished with that stat line? Also heard that Sabonis wasn't as much of a factor on the boards in the second when Yurt was in. Very encouraging indeed.....Spo just needs let him work through things. We should be playing bigger anyway even when Bam gets back.

Yeah, Sabonis started the first half with 12rebs then finished with 16 once Yurt was put on him. Did some good dirty work. As far as the rough stuff, he did make some reckless fouls and did struggle to finish the possession by securing the defensive rebound more than you'd like. But that being said he was fighting with Sabonis who doesn't make it easy and he caused Sabonis similar issues on the other end so wasn't as glaring.

Looks like the Yurt7 prophecy is coming to fruition. Spo's hand was forced and he was again proven to be the wanker we all know he is.

YURT77 = GOD

Maybe the reason Yurt77 is stashed away is because the Heat don't want to lose him by having to pay him once he flourishes. :lol:

Yeah, I'm real happy for Duncan. Dude was serious about making sure he had a good game tonight.

Dude we blew the game wide open with Yurtz in the 2nd half. Got the lead from like 5 to 18. Spo even let him close out the game.

In a game where Duncan and Lowry went off, the guy with 12pts 5reb and 2blks was the highlight of the night.

There's a stat floating around that Sabonis has 13reb before Yurtz and only finished with 4reb afterwards.

Riley must have had a talk with Spo

Much better second stint for Yurt. Looks like he’s starting to get acclimatized to the pace and physicality. Lowry will make his job easy on the offensive end, just hit the middy and finish bunnies. Yurt does have range tho, and can hit the 3 ball on the pick and pop.

I’m expecting Spo to keep giving him opportunities over the next month. Good development time, and he can help us with his size and rebounding ability at minimum. Hell, he’s a much better option than KZ or UD.

Duncan shot with confidence in this game. He didn't hesitate or float fwd or drift to the side when he shot. A fine example his his 3rd shot that was an And 1. He didn't break form or hesitate with a hand in his face. He relied on his mechanics. Duncan probably has the best shooting form iv ever seen. Him and Klay shooting form is textbook perfect.

If Lowry and Duncan can be this affective on a consistent bases along with Herro this team should tread water and better until fully healthy. Let's hope this is q sign of things to come for Duncan and Lowry.

The Pacers need Duncan more than the Heat need Turner if the Heat play more Dedmon and Yurt7. Both guys can block the ball. The Pacers don't have much in the way of shooters.

I didn't watch the game, but I did watch Duncan's highlights just to see. I really enjoyed seeing him drive the ball in 3 times. I knew he was going to break out from the 3 at some point, but if he can drive the ball and get fouled, it makes his 3 point shot more deadly and makes him much more complete. Watching him drive and shoot 6 or so free throws was very enjoyable.

lets face it we ahve a bunch of underdogs and overachievers so coaching has to be the Xfactor that puts us over the edge. Its so much fun watching these guys locked in , ready and playing with intensity and balling out against "talented" teams.

If Lowry and Duncan find their shots, Jimmy keeps playing like the MVP, and Bam comes back with healthy knees being the player we saw him becoming early on, we’re winning it all.
