Saltics @ Heat - 8:30pm - Thursday - Game 2

[MHeat0279]

He is assisted on the same percentage of his basket as Embiid and Jokic so that can’t be true.

Dont you dare compare a single Bam's stat to the joker or Biid, you can give me all the stats, advanced stats and all that mumble jumbo, its clear as water Bam is an offensive cripple

You said he only gets assisted baskets, that’s literally impossible. You’re acting like I said he’s as good of a scorer as them, I was just pointing out that your statement was very wrong

I said or meant most of his baskets, all you need is to see his game

Our deep bench and 3 point shooting was the difference in the season but it’s been completely reversal these playoffs .

The Heat got their azz kicked, but man the NBA referees are masters at switching a momentum in a game to their convenience.

1 game, no biggie OP

Dedmon is -27 in 13 minutes, how is that even possible?

We know Bam is lacking on offense, but he's only -5 for the game.

Exactly lol. Say what you want but in a game that saw at 45 point swing Bam and Strus were only a -5 and Gabe was a -3. We got ran off the court when they were on the bench. There’s no denying that.

Yes, because Miami plays piss poor defenders on the bench. It's time to trim the rotation down to the starters, Oladipo, Martin(who I'm not exactly good with) and Dedmon and when Lowry gets back you can go to a 9 man rotation.

It’s mainly young players and guys from the gleague. They’re not going to be consistent in a playoff setting

Its 1-1 series is far from being over. Need another elite Jimmy game to steal one of the away games, I don't trust the rest of the team. I think he has 2 more big games in him in this series

Wow, Miami scored 100, incredible!

I’m fine with that, part of me still wants Herro in the rotation for the chance he gets hot but that kid literally just gives up everything he does offensively on the other end. His impact on the game is always a negative

Butler just scored 29 in 32 minutes, the defense was poor, had this been a close game and he played 40 minutes he would have been close to 40 again, he can't do it by himself. Fix the defense and Miami has a chance.

They got back two starters……
If they played in game one do we win it?

I agree with this. This is why I think when Lowry comes back, he should run the second unit. Keep letting Vincent play with the starters as we don't lose much there.

It depends, do we also get to have our all star level Pg and only true Pg on the team back at 100% in this scenario?

Herro’s defense is going to cost him a ton of money IMO. Heck I would offer him a contract full of defensive incentives.

Nah, his ability to take charges and lobby the refs may help greatly. If he's healthy you start him, if he's doing bad you bring Gabe in.

Yes. We played awful defense and in the 1st half they couldn't miss from 3. We better than what we should defensively and they are not as good shooters as they showed. In game 3, once Spo makes the adjustments it should be more of a competitive game. The effort needs on defense needs to get better but also Spo needs to make tweaks for our guys to close to their shooters. Whatever worked defensively in game 1 no longer works

Honestly we play better without Lowry in the playoffs. That signing was such trash. Even healthy what can one really expect for a 35 year old point guard.

Our power rotation is horrendous, and its the glaring problem for our bench unit. Dedmond, who is a poor defender, is coming off the bench with our worst defenders. Anybody playing in that lineup is going to have a horrible +/- by default, but especially if you're a **** defender like Herro.

I honestly don't think Dedmon should play more than 5 min a game. I really think holding Kieff out for so long did a number on our power rotation. Playing him now its probably too late, because he's had zero time to get in any rhythm, get in any kind of shape (esp playoff shape), or develop any chemistry with these guys. Not that Kieff is some amazing player, but he's more dynamic of a defender than Dedmond and can give you more offense too. Without him, and with Yurt still being too green to play, our power rotation is just Bam-PJ-Dedmond. I don't count Martin there because he just gets min because there's no one else to play. But either way, that's a horrendous power rotation.

Someone will offer the max and if he’s still here we’ll have to match it, we’re not going to lose him for nothing
