Kyle Lowry player of the game.

Whenever it looked as if Boston was about to blow it wide open, Lowry was there to make a big shot.

That’s it. That’s your playoff 9


Shame that Morris did not reach the level we wanted. He totally fits the backup 4 early in the season.

Spo could easily go with Morris at the 4 for size in the playoffs and moving Butler into the backup PG role in for Vincent.

Butler and Bam played amazing. Our best players really stepped up tonight. Strus was phenomenal.

Ain’t seen much of Dippo yet, but I’m guessing he ain’t ready?

Dipo is a corpse. Dipo, Morris, and Trashcan should all be banished to shadow realm.

Gotta feel bad for Dipo, bet on himself and declined the contract extension from Houston. And looks like will take a year to just get back on Groove.

He just doesn't fit here. I would like to see him in a rebuilding team when there is no pressure to build his status up.

Spo could go with a jumbo lineup against big teams in the playoffs of

C Bam
PF Kieff
SF Strus
SG Herro
PG Butler

Going against the Bucks you need Kieff to keep Lopez honest with Bam on Giannis. Butler on Holiday.

Yeah he’s not ready. He needs a summer and training camp.

It’s not happening. Would love for him to play for Dedmon but Spo won’t let that happen.

Heat are 10-2 when Max Strus starts.

And Kyle Lowry showed tonight why he got that contract.

i suggested that earler. With some matchups it can work. For example against the Bucks it wouldnt work.

That’s exactly when Spo will play that lineup

I think next season Herro will move into the starting lineup and Dipo could be our 6th man. That should be a good fit and chance for him to get right again.

Or a coach who knew what he was doing.

The thing with trades, is that something was needed in return. I mean Dunkin’ Donuts Robinson has that big hole in the middle that I don’t think would be attractive to many teams, more less giving a Big in exchange. I really don’t know who else of real value that was not needed by the Heat.

This. I think he signs here cheap once again on a one year prove it deal. Dipo and Strus will be the primary backup 2-3’s. Martin most likely walks next year to a team that over pays him.

I think too much is made of Duncan bad playing, if he is on, he is one of the most dangerous weapons in the team, top 3... too bad he was overpaid because it was obvious he was a pussycat and overpaying him would make him into a prima donna

I believe Duncan will give us great play in the playoffs though, maybe even enough to make good on his salary and then get traded

By the way wasn't it spo the reason why he got that contract?
