Those Duncan minutes totally broke the backs of the heat player. The team looks deflated right now.

I might try pelle to give the team an energy boost.

Please Spo unleash Jovic if anything just to get his feet wet for Game 2

But Duncan over Larsson is criminal. Even if you for some reason want to keep Duncan in the rotation, he should not be coming in before Larsson. He should be the 8th man off the bench at BEST.
This is the game to play Jovic because you can afford to lose the game and give him time to adjust. Heat needs his scoring creation and passing

If we get blown out I'm sure Spo will give him garbage minutes.

It's why davion isn't a starting pg. He's a poor orchestrator. He's basically a Marcus smart.


Been saying this despite the lovefest he's been getting, he plays with his head down. It pains me every time I see him penetrate to the paint and completely miss open shooters. Him plus Wiggins is nice to cover Tyler defensively but it puts all real decision making on Tyler's shoulders.

Herro is just getting killed on defense. The heat can't hide him.

I feel bad for him.

This was a schedule loss, should've started Rozier tbh. They don't wanna see us in game 2 with more rest.

Wiggins looks sharp, him & herro. CLE shooting 50% feom 3. Hard to keep up with them shooting that well

Big risk by Spo getting Herro out. This could be a 20 point lead by halftime

Bams ability to dribble drive from 12 feet has to be his next growth spurt.

Why can't Bam and Ware play together besides the first 5 minutes of games? Why is that so hard to do? Why put Highsmith at the 4? What is the point of drafting Ware?

Just trade him for Durant if you're going to use him like this. I'm done.
