Miami Heat 2023/2024 Regular Season - Thread 3.0

[NightWatch]

We did it! We finally did something. If our defense comes around we're cooking again.

I am concern about defense. Heat weren’t able to play defense against nuggets.

We defended them better than any other team; we couldn’t score

Even if we are cold. We should be able to play defense. Heat was keeping getting beat by backdoor passing and get beat off the dribble and nuggets constantly go after small guy like Vincent to wear him down and it worked. What we need is a bit more defense powerhouse to lessen the opponent offense opportunities. I never forget how Jokic made zeller looked lost. Our defense is not even better this year.

Well, Miami addressed their need for a vet scorer at a position of need, they're a much stronger team now and for the next few years. I do wonder what the next move is.

Herro for D Murray Then sign Hayward and Tucker when they're bought out.

Bam / Bryant
Tucker / Love / Jovic
Butler / Hayward / Martin
Rozier / Robinson
Murray / Richardson

Just threw up a bit in my mouth

Dude you are like The Bourne Negativity atm

Got rid of Lowry corpse ! And for a solid player to boot lol

[twix2500]

If I was the Heat I would be shopping Caleb for a draft pick to a west conference team.

No one is scared of the Celtics lol. They are mental midgets when the lights are brighter.

Hobbled Jimmy even played average last playoff series and we're able to almost sweep them.

Spo > Mazulla all day any week

Bucks in turmoil

Wow what a setback mid season. They really messed up with that hire.

[AirP.]

So as of now...

There's 10 here for Miami in the playoffs although they'll roll with only 7-9 usually.

Butler, Bam, JJJ, Rozier, Herro, Robinson, Martin, Love, Richardson and Highsmith.

with

Jovic, O.Robinson and Bryant outside the possible playoff's rotation.

Is there another move to be made to consolidate and strengthen the playoff rotation?

How about Miami having enough space to sign a 2-way player to make them eligible for the playoffs, if Cain is that guy you absolutely should look into packaging him with someone else.

[Wiltside]

TERRYYYY

**** yes

Different Years, Different experiences, Different teams, Different Roles, I wouldn't put much stock in his previous productions as he was used incorrectly with bad organizations. I expect a much better, more efficient version of Kristap as long as he is healthy.

Of course different roles/teams. Same player tho and same playoff dynamics that compel a game where every inch of the court is played in space. Same strain on a 7’3 Gumby that isn’t built to play that space game. That’s the whole deal

He is surrounded by 4 offensive/defensive 2 way players, completely different to expect the individual to perform the same. He is having one of his most efficient and best seasons. He is like the 3rd/fourth option on the team on most nights its just not the same.

We agree it’s not the same. I think the build will prove less dynamic in a playoff setting than you do. I’m at peace with that.

I will say—imo middle of the regular season is usually the time of year where NBA takes are most skewed by regular season play style lens and people forget the little things that lead to playoff success

It's a solid 10...not much size again of course though, and Richardson could be improved on I think. Move wise I'm not sure though, be interesting to see what the buyout market shakes free. A PJ Tucker or a backup PG would be nice.

Tyler Herro will love playing for Doc Rivers in his hometown.

So the Milwaukee Bucks have yet to recover from last playoff beat down. Still in turmoil, and trying to get on equal footing, the Lillard transaction has not looked as well as they thought it would, their defense looks terrible.
