Just overall chit NBA season so far.

For us specifically, I want to see Spo start to find a normal rotation with defined roles. (More KZ, Vincent, Strus - Less Harkless, Nunn and Iggy).

Until we get everyone back, lets at least play smart hard defense.

Any thoughts of maybe Miami's current top priority isn't to win although you compete to win but to take looks at certain players/combinations? For instance, if Gabe Vincent looks good enough to play as a backup PG, someone in front of him could be moved or Dragic goes back to being a starter and PG is no longer an issue? Maybe Miami is trying to figure what the quality is of their depth? Precious has done well so far this season so for him to barely get 11 minutes last night is another indicator that Miami isn't prioritizing winning at this time(also, I don't think they'll play Bam and Precious together much this year, maybe in the future if they're still together on the same roster). Although I think Precious is a better overall player then KZ but KZ is currently a better fit with his corner 3s next to Bam because of spacing.

So far in this season Vincent, Precious, KZ, and Strus seem like they could contribute in the rotation if needed where as we had no idea prior to the start of the season.

Covid and injuries aside, the team seems to have a coasting mentality.

Maybe Spo feels that they can flip a switch come playoff time.

Regardless of reasons, it’s terrible for the fans.

All I am going to say is: this didn't happen when Nunn was the starter.

hate to be that guy but sadly, nunn has regressed by alot. he doesnt deserve to be in the starting lineup by his abysmal play. i was hopeful of him when he came but now i think that he's a bust.

I agreed. More Vincent esp. I think we need to look into replacing Silva with someone else. He's a foul machine and virtually unplayable.

I don't think most of our young guys know how to coast yet. It's 75% covid and injuries right now and they should be able to beat at least beatable teams. The media and fans pretty much think our last year's run was a fluke. They have a lot to prove and they know it (may not seem like it rn)

Covid and injuries doesn't explain away the sloppiness of their play.

Sure, if the roster were at full strength to start this season, there would be a general expectation of cohesion and polish considering the core of last year's team is primarily intact.

But even when the mains guys are playing, turnovers and the defensive rotation have been utter poop which suggests to me that it's not just a roster availability issue that the team is having.

Last night's game was the first one that has me worried. Bam and Goran should have been enough to stabilize the team
