Let's not f**K around and find out. Take care of business. This is a must win. Stick to what works. Herro and Bam, followed by Butler should be are our 3 leading shot takers by a wide margin.

Need to buckle down and win the next 5 in a row before our western road trip. Lock in and get it done.

I guess it's a very difficult route to travel, maintenance of players so they get healthy playoffs... the heat has taken this from the from the Spurs, the heat sometimes exaggerats it, but so did the Spurs

it puts me off because the players are being paid millions of dollars, but at the same time the owners are also benefiting greatly... so it's a difficult equilibrium to reach

My question is... is the extra time off really helping (not talking a specific person, just overall)? There seems to be tons of injuries now and it's not like players from previous decades didn't have long productive careers. There's even less practices now. Just odd there doesn't seem to be a noticeable uptick in player availability, it's actually the opposite.

I think a big part of it is the unbalanced lineup and scheme.

I've heard it enough times by big men (i.e., Anthony Davis) who don't want to bang in the paint due to the wear and tear it causes them. Then you've got a woefully undersized Caleb Martin attempting to be a power player.

This sport is tough on the body. Injuries add up.

Right but previous generations handled much tougher play. If you go back to Jordan's time against the Pistons could anyone now handle that type of play let alone continue to play at the level Jordan did? He's not the only one, they all handled much tougher play back then.

I feel like there have always been plenty of injuries to go around. It's just the nature of the mess of a roster we've created here along with our defensive philosophy isn't something many teams over the years have emulated. And for good reason.

Hopefully Miami gets some type of starting level PF (even if it's just a starting level guy, not that good) so we can see what this team really is when more players are in the right positions but also adding a PF may give the other teams another player their best isolation players can hunt. It's tricky but Miami needs some type of size at PF because playing SG/SFs there isn't the best option, big SFs fine.

Yeah. The injury to Omer really messed up our momentum. However, we needed a better contingency plan than Dedmon.

I look forward to who we've targeted. Hope something happens soon.

No Lowry Martin or Gabe. I’m guessing Herro starts at PG again, Strus or Highsmith in for Martin.

Main thing I want is Orlando over Dedmon
