BTW - Can we maybe give KZ and Precious a real chance this game? It's not like OKC plays a bunch of vets out there.

Of course now Luka is not out next game after giving Doc a new butthole smh :nonono:


This game is as much of a "must win" as you can get 6 games in.

We can't slip too down the standings, East is tough this year.

BTW, call me crazy but I'll give both KZ and STRUS a chance to play next to Bam. Can't do worse then Harkless.

Spo is coaching scared, acting like old = good.

Bradley is out so that's the rotation I want against OKC :

Dragic/Vincent
Herro/Robinson
Jimmy/Robinson
KZ/Strus
Bam/Precious

Give Iggy and Kelly some rest.

OKC are small and young.

This is the time to give Vincent, KZ, Strus, Precious a real run and see where they're at. Give them touches and shots, let Dragic and Jimmy take over when needed.

You activate one of them since they're on 2 way contracts. Let each one have the full time on the court(as much as they'd get) then splitting the time with the other.

I get why Miami's FO/coaches liked Strus, odd he was allowed(by nobody else picking him up/keeping him) to end up in Miami.

None of Nunn, eh?

Might be a good game for him to get his confidence back and show some semblance of the player who earned the starting PG spot last year.

Nunn is damaged goods, there is not way to revive him.

Unless Nunn is traded, Nunn may be needed as a rotational player for this team for long time(consolidation trade he may not be a part of). He has the talent, he just isn't producing and Spoelstra needs to figure that out.

Nunn is a competent ball-handler which the team sorely lacks.

With him, I'm not holding my breath if he gets pressured by his defender as he's crossing the half-court line as I do with some of the other handlers.

He's also adept at getting space for his jumpers (and yes I realize that his shot is off right now) which are usually clean looks.

I'd stick him in the starting line-up and hope like hell. Waay too much work went into him last season to give up and get nothing in return. Maybe just a sophomore slump, let him work through it like we're letting our other young guys do. Maybe something comes of it; otherwise they wash their hands with all that at contract end

I'd start Nunn and KZ. Tell them they're the captains now. Lead us to victory!
