#55: Heat @ Bucks - Feb 23rd at 6 pm ET - The Winning Streak Continues Here

[Wiltside]

If Niko is out long term, I'd rather us:

Mitchell / Larsson
Herro / Robinson
Wiggins / Jaquez
Adebayo / Anderson
Ware

If we're going to be chit, atleast let Larsson, Ware and Jaquez get some burn. Maybe Jaime can find his game again.

The chit ur pants in the 2nd half strategy is working out great for the stealth tank.

We lost the first 2 and a half minutes of the 4th by 8 then brought our guys back in, lost by 7. That’s the game right there.

[MettaWorldPanda]

1/8 from 3 in the 4th is just killer

Did Duncan even take a shot after that airball 3 in the first half? Need to get some semblance of offense from him if this team has a shot of staying competitive. And Mitchell needs to make the open 3. Those 2 misses late in the 4th were killers

Or Spo needs to go with Burks. Too many negative shooters and Rozier bumbling minutes are killer

[marson]

Ware really sucked with that closing lineup. Niko was making the game easier for Wiggins. Can’t believe
he’s going to be out for a while.

He and Bam just aren't offensively compatible. Both are inconsistent shooters and end up clogging the paint.

Niko's injury is really a blow.

i missed that part when he fractured his hand because i was getting some ice cream


how much time do you think he will be out 3 weeks?

[al bondiga]

Really not sure what it is with this guy that keeps him on the floor. I thought they were showcasing him for a trade, but now? Spo is big on analytics, and most metrics I've seen of Rozier has him being a net negative. So why does he continue to see minutes??

Rozier is kept on the floor because of money

Eventually they have to do what they did to Duncan two years ago and send him to a shrink

man ... I think we have to start Rozier if we want to trade him...even for a pencil.

fck!

that's were jacquez comes in or we see more of terry

I see I made some sensitive, I’m not ehen knocking Herros game. He had a great game overall but he had some wild shot attempts that seemed unnecessary based on the looks he had been getting all night when attacking the rim with plenty of time still left on the shot clock. That’s all I’m saying, constructive criticism.

it wasnt herro's fault, the (Please Use More Appropriate Word) coach cooling him down some when he sat him at teh 4th quarter

We can't just play everyone 48 minutes a night. I don't know what some of you want.

We’ll probably end up trading one of our 2025 picks for a 2027 pick to block Hornets. We will not be making two picks.

Why? It's not like he's helping his value.

Sometimes you need to, they make $30M+ a year play them and spam actions through them. They’re young

Lol I dunno if anyone here loves Herro that much. Today, I don't think he had a choice. The looks he was getting earlier were not there. And that goes to the rest of the team. I don't think good teams respect this team. So they may take it easy for 3 quarters and lock in the 4th. And whey lock in, this team can't generate good looks. In clutch games against good teams, I don't see Herro or anyone on the roster being able to get good shots consistently especially if they all collectively can't shoot well from 3. So were gonna see a lot of possessions of Herro settling for 3 or Wiggins postup or Bam fadeaway midrange. These are not bad shots when they have it going but not the best ones either

[KingDavid]

Herro should not have been on the bench to start the 4th. Bucks got all the momentum when we couldn't answer anything

Didn't he play the entire 3rd?

ok fair point i guess but still think that spo rotations kill the mood man

[Voltron914]

damn we are mid. what happened to Nico i tuned it at half time and saw him on the bench holding his hand

If Bam made the same so called wild attempts it wld be perfectly fine. Same bs w/ this kid.

Herro made alot of tough shots (but let’s not point that fact out) on his way to 40pts & just 2 to’s (but again let’s not point that out), many were timely. He was a big reason why we were able to compete in this gm altogether.

We lost a gm vs a top 5 team w/ more veteran presence. Flip the script & we prob blow them out. We continue to build & try to get the nxt one.

3 weeks sounds about right.

[Shewasfly]

It was a good game, should be proud that we even hung in there. Great game and effort from Herro. We just don't have the type of firepower that's sustainable outside of him to win these types of games.

[insfo]

Bam & Wiggins were -16/-15 respectively.

Bam playing 35 minutes only should not be happening. Maybe it was foul trouble, but still Spo needs to get him closer to 40 every night.

Wiggins with 20 shots, not ideal, but a lot of them were post ups when he had midgets on him. So not too worried.

Tyler had a great game, kept us in it till late in the 4th before our usual meltdown

Ware did well too on the offensive end, but Giannis and Lopez had their way with him (and Bam). 12 rebounds were nice, but the Bucks seemed to get too many offensive rebounds, which should not be happening with both him & Bam on the floor.

Feel bad for Niko. Seemed to be finding his groove, and now has to sit for a month atleast. Bummer
