Anyone talking trading Bam needs to stop. Yurt is great but not replacing Bam. I'd rather start Bam with Yurtseven and have PJ off the bench playing with Herro, Robinson and Dipo and have PJ and Bam finish games.

Spacing with Bam and Yurts would be terrible.

And anyone who thinks Bam is gonna magically start shooting 3's to fix the spacing issue must really believe in magic.

Yea really lol

I have a very bad feeling Yurt is going to get benched a lot after this game and when Bam gets back it's going to get worse

Yep.

Butler 1-11
Lowry 2-11
Robinson 1-9

Not going to win ‘em all. I expect to see a much more motivated Heat team next game

This.

A. it is one game

B. Miami will win very few games when 4 of the 9-man rotation shoot 7-43 fg (16%), including 4-25 (16%) 3ptfg.

That’s Duncan on a regular day though

He's having a sub-par shooting season, but Miami can overcome his poor shooting 90% of the time because it is unlikely so many other guys will collectively shoot as poorly as they did against Philadelphia.

That said, you don't have to convince me. I spent all year last year telling anyone who would listen that Duncan Robinson was not worth $20/M a season and that it is a fool's errand to pay shooters that kind of money. I understand why Miami paid Robinson, but even if/when he gets back to being a 40+% 3-point shooter, he will never be worth what Miami is paying him.

On the bright side, his contract is far from untradeable if Miami ever decided to go that route.

3 games in 4 nights & 2nd night of a back-to-back. I've been betting enough yrs to always lay off a team in this situation. Not finanacially smart long term strategy. Furthermore we've played more on the road w/ 42 games away from Miami. It was always going to be a very tough spot. Spite of that we were doing reasonably well, we just didn't have the legs in the 4th especially. Moreover it's tough to beat a team twice in a row & we did that vs the Hawks. We've taken care of business when we cld, w/ what we have being a depleted team. We've done well. We simply move on.

I like it

Its one game. The poor shooting was down to stellar defense by the Sixers aided by tired players of 3 out of 4 days of games. It makes a huge difference in the shooting ability having some rest, especially how hard this team plays. Evident by how the whole team played, not just Jimmy/Lowry/Duncan.

We will be back in full force Monday.

This game felt like a playoff game. Im starting to worry about Butler, something is off with him.

I wanna see Spo lovers defend this crap

Maybe get some eye glasses. It's says D. Robinson not E. Spoelstra

It says 17min, since you don't understand the first thing about basketball, Erik Spoelstra decided to play him 17min.

So your frustration was with Spo deciding to play Duncan Robinson 10 minutes less than his average minutes per game this season?

Trust me, I'm as frustrated with Duncan as anyone. But, this is a pretty misguided and deluded attempt to bash Spo

Philly was definitely playing high caliber defense. But the level of poor shooting went WAY beyond anything they did. We missed A LOT of quality looks

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Nice of Jimmy to do his boy a solid and give them the win last night, Duncan did an even better job. Make or miss league and we couldn’t hit last night, is what it is. Just annoying being up 68-58 with 5 left in the 3rd and then losing by double digits because we forgot how to play defense

So Embid is our daddy isn’t he? At least Yurt was able to rebound and score in him unlike Bam.
