Hope Butler is ok. Maybe he should take a couple of games off to properly get his feet (ankle, toe etc) healed up.
Really need to find a way to integrate Struss into the game plan, especially if Butler doesn't plan in this one. Can we also see a bit of Yurt this game? Roby vs Yurt would be a fun match up.
Let's go Heat!

Securing the #1 seed is really important ... but no pressure OP.

Another MUST WIN for OP.
There's no glory for OPing these type of wins, but a working class hero is something to be.

Jimmy won’t play This game and I’m sure he’ll find a way to miss out on the Philly game Monday which is the most important game of the year.
SGA is about to bust our ass but we “should” win pretty easily even without Jimmy. Start Martin or Strus, glue Gabe (who Spo will start) to the bench

this is a kind of game that if you lose, you can forget about deep run at playoffs, type game.

I'd want no part of Brooklyn if I were Mia.
Perhaps it's too early for them to strategize their seeding. Brooklyn could still potentially catch Tor or Clev and move up.
But if it starts to look as though they will be firmly in the 8th spot, Mia ought to consider benching their starters down the stretch.

It would be annoying as hell to do all this work to secure the 1st seed and then get matched up with arguably the 2 best scorers in the league in the first round who are legit title contenders

We’re due a 40 point game, with Jimmy out I’d love to see it from Herro or Bam and this would be the perfect game for it. Herros been itching to get one since the ASB, he’s been right there

If Jimmy doesn’t play, I want this lineup:
Lowry
Duncan
Strus/Martin
Tucker
Bam
The main thing is Lowry and Gabe cannot start together.
Too small. I’d also be fine with Martin and Strus (no Duncan) but we know that’s not happening.
Herro continuing to lead the bench. I have liked what I have seen from Kieff so far, but Dipo is taking a long time to integrate. He has not played well unfortunately.

Dipo sharing the floor with Herro and Lowry has not worked. He looks uncomfortable and the offense has bogged down since he's not a capable stretch player like Strus is. Dipo can play with either Herro or Lowry but can't be with both. I also prefer Strus on the floor with Dipo whenever possible.

Imo last night is the only “bad” game Dipo has had. His impact and defense have been great. It’s the offense that’s coming slow, as expected.

How does the round for 7-10 seed work? I thought the winner of it becomes the 7th seed with consolation prize being 8th seed. Little fhance Brooklyn loses that.
