How can he trust he’s going to get a fair shake from this coaching staff? Guy was breaking double/double records last year keeping us afloat while Bam was gone and then was relegated to obscurity.


That’s what I was thinking.. fair enough if they don’t play yurt.. but why let him ride the bench? Keep ‘em in g league so he’s getting game time and build some chemistry with jovic.

Depresses me thinking about how much more interesting we’d be with Jovic and Yurtseven getting burn.


Unpopular take :

ATM Jovic > Love.

He's taller, can pass, great IQ, can shoot. Better defender. Just lacks the experience.

Zeller and Love are playing fine, but Omer and Jovic could be just as impactful if they get the burn (they won't).

There's nothing i hate more then seeing the team sucking WHILE playing washed rental players like K.Love.

If we're gonna suck, at least develop for the future


Last year we were arguably top tier in the east, looks like we are falling off a bit. Now solidly in the second tier and underperforming in that position as well.

Just gonna have to play it out and see if we can surprise people but we look cooked again.

Need a BIG win streak to turn the tide.

This is true, we are falling short as a team and you hate to see it.

you can only get so far with grit, toughness, culture.... sooner or later, you have to find some real talent... like a (ja morant, luka, lilliard, curry, tatum ect.... obviously you want to find players who arent gettin into off court troubles like of recent but you get the picture... butler is also aging every year and losing a step.... hes gettin old and our FO has not gotten him the help needed to go to the next level. its all down hill from here....

Barring a Bam/Zeller injury, seems unlikely Yurt is going to get an opportunity this season. Which sucks.

Hopefully we re-sign him and give him a good look next year.

I’m ok with Jovic getting plenty of reps in Sioux Falls right now. He’s missed time and Spo isn’t going to play him, so let him build his confidence up and get ready for a big summer.

To me, he already looks noticeably bulkier than he did earlier this season.

Right, right, mate.
Yeah, you add a top 5 gun to any above average team and you can ship.

We've got potential but our guys are still playing like babies, trying to figure it out. Timings a biatch.

Spo can maybe work some magic too, but he seems kinda cooked too, maybe a vacay...or could just be the shooting...

When looking at the position we are in and the team we have, it's a tough thing to cuunt on. An epic collapse like that could even get Spo canned. His team hasn't tuned him out...

Oh yeah Lowry IS coming back after all.

Maybe he can make a difference if he's healthy.

Return to Miami Heat
