Spo should’ve known that Niko is way more of a player than Highsmith.
Don’t sit Jovic too long to where he comes back cold.

Why won't Bam take Vucevic?!? Especially with Tyler out of the game??? Look to **** score!!!

When the game is over everyone will blame Spo for supposedly not giving him an opportunity to score. But he does **** like that all the time. Straight up refuses to attack and instead begs a shooter like Duncan or Tyler to run through for a DHO

It cost way too much to move into the lottery I would go look at what it cost teams, to move 2-4 slots down the lottery. We barely have the assets we need every single one of them.

Using that logic Miami wouldn't have made the finals last year. Why give yourself any chance at all when you can get a back of the lottery pick vs picking at 20 or so. It's like you didn't notice Miami passing up Maxey a couple of years ago, the draft is a crapshoot.

Miami does better than most teams at drafting id bet on them to make very little whifs at that range, its not an exact science, and last year we had a complete team that had Jimmy healthy and aggressive heading into the end of the season thats why we didnt give up for a better pick.

That’s Bam in a nutshell.
He needs to bring his attacking mentality.

Bam looks offensively limited at times.

Told yall, Spo has his rotations he has to get his small ball wings minutes and it comes at the expense of Jovic minutes.

Bam is going to bam. He doesn't have a scorer mentality. He is a coward.

No I know. He was being sarcastic. Hopefully DoM knows I wasn't saying him regarding that comment.

Duncan with a couple of bad possessions. Hope he doesn’t have to keep handling the ball, just catch and shoot!

Not worried about Bam. Worried about the other idiots like Herro and Robinson

This is where things start to suck. When the offense isn't on fire anymore, we don't have anyone that can get us to the line to at least keep scoring and maintain the lead.

Highsmith seems to be playing outside his skillset on offense tonight.
