Game 32: Miami vs Indiana - 12/21 @ 7:30pm EST

[HEATVols865]

Spo talking about how UD has been crushing Yurt in practice teaching him NBA physicality. Helping immensely with him catching the ball in traffic and rebounding. We are legit deep at Center.

And that’s why we bring back UD

This new Matrix, sans Lawrence Fishborne, is like every non-Toby-Maguire-Spiderman ever and I'm not watching it!!!

Got a score of 4 by IGN. I mean it's from IGN but I'm scared to watch it now.

Very proud of Yogurt. You can just see the confidence building.

Was watching No Way Home so didn't see the game live. Good to see that Herro returned and Duncan came to life at home. Our schedule will be soft for the next couple of weeks so hopefully we can keep taking advantage.

I like that movie.

That was an extremely satisfying half of basketball

I've always semi-wondered if your avi is MJ, or some ex-Heat bald player that I don't remember like Jamal Mashburn or Jerry Stackhouse?

That's MJ. I loved the juxposition of his bald head with the Jumpman logo on the court.

Waiting for it to be uploaded to YT, really interested to hear what they're saying about Yurtz.

We are legit deep at Center.

Which begs the question: what happens when guys come back from injury?

If Spo is Spo, then at least Yurtz and KZ are getting shelved. In some ways, I can't blame him because it's not easy finding time for 14 players.

But those guys have shown that they can impact the game, especially Yurtz, who gives us a new dynamic that we so desperately need.

If Yurtz can hit the 3 consistently, there's always the possibility of playing him alongside Bam, but that's a pipe dream as of right now.

KZ is even more of a question when PJ and Keef get back. There's really no minutes for him without sacrificing more established players. He's definitely not playing SF and lower because we have too much depth there, so it's PF/C for him, and God forbid we play him at Center unless it's against the Bucks or something.

We must find time for Yurt, we might be finally set at the center position if he continues developing, you can tell he has the skills, he just needs the minutes to continue getting better.

Agreed, I just don't know where it'll come from.

Either way, Bam's gonna get his 30mpg, so that leaves 18 to divide up between Dedmon and Yurtz. I doubt Dedmon is going to be happy playing 9 minutes, though.

Personally, I'd rather player Yurtz over Dedmon, but I'm sure Spo doesn't feel the same way. But we need Yurtz and probably more than the 9mpg that he can hope to get once Bam's healthy.

we have no reason to find time for Yurt. We are in win now mode.

pretty sure he could also achieve that as part of the coaching staff

Would you rather get outrebounded and killed in the glass ?
Besides, what do you think we are winning with this team? The East? Finals?
I like your optimism but i dont think that is happening this year, our team is still too inconsistent. Anyway lets see how the season develops before jumping into conclusions.

He's talking about win now mode when we were losing by 20 and 30pts before Yurtz - even when we were healthy.

It doesn't even have to be Yurtz, either; this team can't afford to play small for long stretches. We need *legit* bigs in there to do all the things that they do to help teams win games. Yurtz just happens to be the one guy on our team who's capable of that and I wish him all the success in the world.

Well Yurt is not completely ready, BUT i think its very important we develop him as soon as possible, we need to stop playing small because it kills us every time we try it. You can see the difference when he is in the game and being active.

Well it's up to Spo, not me. I was pushing for bigger lineups from the get go as well but Spo has his program and apparently when the team is going max effort the size won't matter. This team is built for the playoffs, age and wear be damned.
