Wow, only 18, like Jovic (hint, hint)

Yup glad you pointed that out. It’s a joke how we start undrafted G league talent but god forbid you give your 1st rd pick any run. Jovic is 19 just like Herro when he came into the league. Jovic at the 4 right now gives us a better chance just standing there at 6’10 then Caleb at 6’5 trying to protect the paint.

Don't worry it will happen eventually if a certain trend continues. The way Spo thinks is Wednesday game was an aberration not to be repeated. He is going to force feed us the same lineups for the next 10-15 games until he finally goes, hmmm not working I think.

Is there any team in the league that you wouldn’t swap Lowry for their starting PG?

He may be the worst in the league right now

Nope. Looks like the only hope of getting rid of him was Westbrook but looks like he’ll be headed to the Pacers. It’s possible the Pacers reroute Westbrook’s deal for Lowry and Robinson for another pick.

Heat fans love to **** on Spo for bad decisions made above him. As if Spo had decided that his choices of guys to play next to Bam should be ...

Caleb Martin
Max Strus
Haywood Highsmith
Duncan Robinson
Jimmy Butler

Omer Yurtseven
Dewayne Dedmon
Nikola Jovic
Udonis Haslem

Most of those players are non-viable options because they suck, or are (super mega) washed, or they are poor offensive fits next to Bam, or they are named Jimmy Butler and we don't want to play him at the 4 spot all season long.

That doesn't leave a whole lot of great options, although as usual Heat fans are sure that the key to our season is somewhere on our bench.

It's not Spo's fault that moves weren't made to fix our poor roster construction.

It's not Spo's fault that our cap is so f'ed up that we have to carry an empty spot to avoid going into the tax.

It's not Spo's fault that our cap is so f'ed up that we can't even sign a semi-competent PF for the veteran minimum.

It isn't Spo's fault that we've made enough poor contract decisions to tie our cap into knots and make untying it too painful to consider.

It's not Spo's fault that once again we chose not to try to improve while we waited on a superstar that we obviously didn't have assets to trade for.

It's not Spo's fault that aside from the empty roster spot we also reserve a seat on the bench and the cap space that goes with it for the team mascot.

I know some fans want to play the legend of Yurtseven next to Bam despite neither having much of a post up game or having a decent shot from even 15 feet out. Whatever ... gripe on. Just keep in mind that you can't let defenses pack the paint when your best player is Jimmy Butler.

And I know that some fans are sure that the new kid is a superstar because unlike dozens of other players every single year he looked good in practice games in the preseason. Whatever ... gripe away.

Just don't act like Spo has any good options to choose from, and don't act like that is his fault.

Spo was the main one beating down the doors to reup Duncan, just because his title doesn’t say “GM” does not mean he is not heavily involved with personnel decisions.

[fishfuego.]

Midget ball down the throat doesn’t seat well with Heat fans when a 6’11” player is on the bench and not one single attempt to play him, rookie or not, especially when the opposition has a height advantage and almost effortless access to rebounds due to such height advantages.

Will playing a 6’11” rookie be the solution?
You can’t know if you don’t try.

That’s on Spo!

Oh and Herro and Nunn played as rookies, so I guess it is truly a height thing with Spo or he is simply a one trick pony who found success at one thing and doesn’t know how to coach any other way, even when that one thing continues to implode.

I just had with this coach.

sorry but having a good for nothing haslem back an insult to every heat fan out there. dude does literally nothing

[IceColdCubano]

I do believe that Yurt getting hurt is definitely hurt us, I do believe Spo was ready to run those Yurt/Bam lineups at some points to go big and that has not been available to him. Same with Dipo, whom was that Pitbull you can throw at a specific wing player when he is going off and you need somebody to put the clamps on him or slow him a bit.

So listening to Spo talk on his post game, you can see him continue to say what we all fear, we will continue to stay the course, do not expect any changes.

Did we really expect him to say anything differently (publicly) after 2 games?

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Yurt/Bam lineups looked horrible though. Yurt is too slow to defend in our system.

[Bishop45]

I'd spin the block and see if Sexton is available for a first rounder later down the line

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Starting unit actually busted the Celtics ass, it was the bench that ruined it.

Yup.

You are right. If Spo had his way he'd have a team of nothing but 6 foot or sub 6 foot players for ultimate omega small ball. The FO is the only thing holding him back from his wet dream.

we have all seen that Lowry is over the hill big time... but bam and hero need him, they still need to learn how to take a punch... the same way they still need Haslem

I can see even Vincent and they hoped Robinson
