Sure. On the surface you see the main players playing and being inconsistant, but what you don't see/understand is substitution patterns. Bam shot the ball 7 times and scored 6 points. You really think Clippers drew up a defense to stop him? :crazy: Spo did'nt even break out his patented zone defense tonight. Add in the fact the Spo and Micky went to a Hurricane game to watch Flagg and there you have it.


I've seen enough of Spo's stupidity to know that he's constantly screwing up and I won't just chalk it up to tanking like you do in order to defend him :lol:. I don't understand substitution patterns? Please...no one understands Spo's whack substitution patterns and rotations. And Bam not getting enough shots is nothing new either.


Bam can get any shot he wants, but choose not to. All you have to understand is that Miami values this years lottery than they do the playoffs. Making the playoffs, losing out on a possible top 4 pick and getting bounced by the Cavs/Celtics is wiiillllddd.

Most success Bam has had is with Burly small 4’s like Crowder and Tucker who chucked 3’s and made them relentlessly and stretch Centers like Meyers and Olynyk who shot like guards from the 3 point line. Jovic is this current team’s best pairing with both Bam and Ware. Go figure he’s are only pure stretch 4 with size


I think if we can get a lead guard who is a playmaker and offense orchestrator, we can let Bam and Ware do what theyre good at.

We are so close in our roster construction. We are just missing that super elusive piece. Gotta get lucky man.

I think that’s too easy. Explosive guard will help but spacing is key in this league. Ware doesn’t offer consistent spacing or able to take man off the dribble. We need to be more dynamic. The fit is too clunky. Give me Ace Bailey, Newell, or Fleming next to Bam. If we go the vet route it’s Lauri. Also give Jovic his extension


I think Newell is going to be a stud dude. He has some skills. If we drafted him Id be super satisfied.

We just need to get into the top 10 to really get a potential difference maker. It’s a top heavy draft and gets shaky after the lottery. Flagg will be a miracle but i’ll be happy just being in the top 10. Figure we keep our lottery pick as a foundation piece and the GSW pick gets flipped for a quality experienced player like a Markkanen or Sexton.


Need GSW to starting losing. Wth is going on? We havent won since JB left and they havent lost. Thats some crazy chit tbh.

Butler and Curry are a dynamic duo and Green is playing MVP enforcer role like PJ Tucker. It’s no surprise.

No, but obviously Kneuppel and Malauch don't move that needle. Miami is looking for a star.

Kneuppel would be nice as a backup to Herro and potentially push him but i would only take him with the GSW pick in the late teens early 20’s.


Exactly. These are not the guys you build a franchise around. He would be a solid backup.

That’s who we need for Bam and Ware. He would compliment them both perfectly as a scoring 4 with Jovic as the sub. Make the front court dynamic and elite. Then we can make some trades and get some more vet guards and depth

This would be the best case scenario. Markkanen makes a ton of money, but getting rid of Duncan and Rozier would ease the cap.

We would have had the same dynamic with Dame. The moment we struck out with Dame was the end

:lol: Listen, they are going all in. Hell If not Flagg, I would definately settle for Harper as a consolation prize. If Atlanta can go from 10 to 1 then we can too.

Duncan and Rozier is an easy swap for Markkanen contract matching wise starter then you include the assets. I think he would have a resurgence here playing along side Bam. You saw how Olynyk and Meyers played with Bam. Sometimes you have to find the right buy lows. Zach LaVine was actually an excellent buy low we missed out on

I will say the NBA definitely owes us from when Chicago with like the 10th best odds leapfrogged us to grab Rose and leave us with Beasley.

Sucks to see how this year has gone but the losses are for the greater good at this point.

Hopefully we get a top pick and Riley actually makes some waves in the off-season

Ware came back a different player after his injury and he is not good at this point.
Spoelstra imo is correct to not play Ware together with Adebayo and he is correct to split their minutes.

The problem is that there is no pf with size who can hit 3pts for the heat.
Maybe Jovic is a big absence with his size skills and shooting at pf position.

But in general I dont get it how they cannot win a game.

Return to Miami Heat
