Boston just faced Toronto and their defense, this Miami zone defense ain't phasing them at all.

yeah you need pace to have a chance against this boston D. Once they're set it's hard to get anything.

He's just a better version of Anthony Bennett.

Miami might be the toughest grinding team out in the NBA. You can almost never count them out, and you can't help but think this is partly because of Jimmy Butlers leadership and personality that rubs off on his teammates.

IF the Lakers make it to the Finals and IF Boston makes it, the Celtics will spank them.

Tatum leading us to the title and he’s still only 19. :o

The same could be said about Herro, except Herro was actually 19 during this season, while Tatum was actually 22. Also, if I was building a team and I had to choose between Herro and Tatum, Herro is the easy decision.

Heat in 6



I'm changing my signature i need to bookmark this. :lol:


I see you haven't changed your sig. Maybe you have rethought the statement and realized there is more truth to it than you care to admit?

I am not saying that Tatum isn't a rising star, with huge potential. I'm just saying that Herro will have a better career than him and if I had to choose between Tatum and Herro when building a team around long term, there is no doubt that I would choose Herro 10/10 times.

Herro has that deadly instinct, he is already better in the clutch than Tatum, and the dude is 2 years younger. They had similar rookie seasons, but Herro has had more of an impact on winning than Tatum in his rookie season. Without Herro we would not be in the ECF right now.
