Miami Heat Regular Season Thread 21-22 Vol. 4

[al bondiga]

The importance of yurt isn't that he is an extraordinary creature who would save us in the playoffs , he is Young and unpolished , his importance is that gives you a different look a more solid one... we need all the strategies so we can compete with the top teams and resting bodies so they don't get hurt is a major one

OREON other thread got locked..noone said yurts going to be the next Shaq. When he’s putting up numbers like him with a group of gabe and Herro and we were winning games, you let him play. Even off the bench. Don’t just banish the guy. Like I said 29 years no centre(and there’s been a lot and top picks) has achieved it. Laugh all you want. But yet we still play Dedmon over a guy that achieved that stat.Most will agree with me we were enjoyable to watch while playing traditional with no bam and butler..

Did he really say that we think he was gonna be the next Shaq?

Nah but this was his reply to me saying yurt got stats in winning games seen only by Shaq since 93..

“Shaq and Yurt in the same sentence. Shaq the most unstoppable player in NBA history. And Yurt. Lol”

Some people just aren't open to different views.

Just tonight, some people were dismissing Strus as nothing more than a clone of Duncan Robinson, even as Strus was showcasing his versatility, then talking about how it doesn't fix our problems, which wasn't even the original subject.

But he is honestly worse than Dedmon?

Opposing teams love Dedmon and all the extra possessions and FTs he gives them.

Exactly.. tonight is also proof that if you give a player a chance they will show you what they can do. Knowing how good strus played (and he did outplay duncan), spo will most likely start duncan again next game and when fans start asking for strus back they will all get flamed with “wouldn’t make a difference” (from the duncan fans). You can never win with fans.

And even if people believe that, how is he supposed to improve? By sitting on the bench all game?

If this season taught us anything, is that players don't develop by sitting on the bench. They develop by putting them in meaningful games and playing meaningful minutes for a good stretch of the season.

Just imagine if Bam and Dedmon had never gotten injured. Everyone would be writing off Yurtz as hopeless because people trust Spo more than they trust their own eyes. Not me, though. I don't trust Spo.

Its not about one or the other it's about both of them being used. Hes taller and longer than deadmon and a better passer. Sigh. It's a repeating topic and we're repeating the same bs ad nauseum.

100%.. don’t worry I got my fishing rod ready for the play offs

Dude I fear that Spo will screw it up and start Duncan again just because Duncan shot well from 3 tonight.

Duncan should've lost his job by mid-November. 3 guys on our bench have outplayed him all season long. And when he finally did lose his job, it was only because of covid protocols. And he was right back in the SL as soon as Bam came back, while still playing like crap. It's so unfair and our guys deserve credit for not complaining about it.

Spo really does have a thing with sitting players that play well.. even when gabe had that nice run not long ago, he was shut down too

Yup, I have no idea why he ever did that till this day. Before he got benched, there was a game where Spo dumped our entire bench in at once against the Hawks. As a result, we lost the lead and it was a tight game all the way till the end.

This was the game below. He only got 6 minutes that game and was benched afterwards, which is weird because it wasn't his fault AND he had a very solid game before that.



We could've used him against the Sixers where 4 of our players shot 7-43. In that game against the Sixers, Spo benched our leading scorer and rebounder in the 4th quarter. Just weird.

[3ammy3uck3ts]

So I guess Dipo and Morris are out of the rotation then? That sucks on Dipo, I was really hoping he could be an X factor for this team. I wish we would’ve pulled the trigger on Marcus Morris or Christian Wood at the deadline.

They might. It's one game.

Hack moves.

[somerandomdude]

The Duncan stat is why Spo is always making sure to run plays for Duncan at the start of the game.

BTW, the Heat are 9-2 when Max Strus starts (SAC game not shown)

This is insanity.

[carnageta]

@Celtics, @Bulls, @Raps, followed by a two game home stand against the Bobcats and Hawks, and then the season finale in Orlando.

Wouldn't surprise me if we don't even get to 50 wins this season. With this Heat team you can never know. We can either go 6-0 from here or 1-5. That's how volatile we are. Lol

^@carnageta LOL schedule makers were very unkind to us with the road schedule.....granted we had our chance to mitigate that with the long home stretch & we ****ed it up with losses to MIN, NY, GS (no Steph/Klay/Draymond), etc....but this is gonna be the second time we get @TOR on the back end of a back to back. Swell....

We did it to ourselves though, shouldn’t even matter at this point
