I can see this going to a 9-10 game loosing streak to be honest.

Knicks with 29 rebounds. Miami with 19. Having a guy like Hartenstein on the roster would help us a lot.

I'm going to need Bam to play better if we are going to have chance at winning this game.

I watched Lowry having to chuck a lot end of the clock shots from Herro. Lowry may have been declining but he was being vastly misused on the court.

Yep. That was a stupid ass play. Seriously, he needs to just be a shooter. This dribbling **** from him is worthless because he can't shake his man off the dribble. It has to be on the move or with a screen.

Lord that Hart dunk could've been avoided if Herro actually stepped in front of that man instead of matadoring Hart as he blew by Caleb. Such bad defensive instincts. But that's enough of me nitpicking Tyler. Rest of the team has to step up too.

This, and the Knicks are better than Miami. They are playing better D and acquired better shooters. Meanwhile, idiot Heat fans never want to part with mediocre players and are all about "Heat-lifers!"

We don't control who's on the roster...

He is the only one with a real motor.

small ball is pointless if they cant rain 3s and can't stay in-front of people

If people are just going to run by Jimmy, Herro and Terry...they might as well let them run by a big and at least get a chance at rebounds.

Well well well.
Love is not it people. He hasn’t contributed in this game at all, and it’s a liability.
Jovic as raw as he is presumed to be, has the size, mobility and can drive.
Our shooters are very stricky, so Bam should be the focus inside, but he needs help. The game should be inside out, instead of outside in, that way our shooters can be established for a higher percentage shot, but Spo kills these guys with rotational efforts and the shots are always created off the dribble at a lower percentage.

I'd honestly rather play Cain then Jovic, I just don't get it. He's tall sure but soft, doesn't defend well and just not ready.

AirP. · Post #132 » by **AirP.** » Sat Jan 27, 2024 9:17 pm

It's odd that teams have 3pt shooters who can play at least decent or better defense compared to Miami overpaying for their 3pt players who have drastic flaws to their overall game. It's almost like the FO doesn't recognize how good a job Spoelstra does putting them in positions to succeed that makes them look like better players.

Post #133 » by **KingDavid** » Sat Jan 27, 2024 9:17 pm

Rebounds 29-19 favoring the Knicks. Spo has to put this small ball **** in spurts.

Post #134 » by **DayofMourning** » Sat Jan 27, 2024 9:18 pm

We have zero synergy. A bunch of ball stoppers.

Well at least we can come out on fire in the 3rd, thats when teams make adjustments :wink:

Most importantly it would be nice for Butler to show some signs of life. He was good the first quarter and then its like he disappeared

Small ball makes me so sad. Spo is D’Antoni

Gotta involve him, he’s the odd man out, 4 attempts 1 of them being a tip dunk he got himself

Jovic has a World of skills compared to Cain lol
Jovic with his size driving in will collapse the defense, and he can pass to create an established open shot. Basketball 101.

Too many player combinations, Miami really needs to do a consolidation trade then sign/bring up Cain and Swider for depth. There's just too many players who need minutes to get in the flow of the game.
