We need to be better defensively. That last wide open shot was a joke. Got lucky there.

Damn, 9/2/2 with 2 blocks while being disengaged.

Whoever is guarding Duncan and Herro have to literally face guard them. They are by far the most active players for the Heat. Can’t be ball watching

same guy who is only 28 coming off a year where he started and was a big help to getting his team to the conference finals.

LOL Spo probably never expected Kanter to be in this series. Might have forgotten he's even on our roster.

We needed that post up presence from Kanter. Also a big body to clog the paint. We need to defend the 3 though. Can’t let herro or robinson go off like that.

I just checked the stats and he only has 1 foul.

Did Stevens just find a matchup that Spo doesn't want to play Bam for against Kanter?

I'll take the tradeoff of having a turnstill in Kanter if it means we get zero rim blocking on the other end for Tatum drives to the basket.

I think that's a horrible overreaction by Spo.

Yeah I found it odd Kanter forced Bam off the floor seemingly, but I'll take it if it's a sign of things to come

I mean he played 8 minutes, which isn’t that low for a center.

Okay fair. And maybe he'll play more in the second half.

But I saw Tatum able to goto the hoop and not have any resistance with Kelly and whomever they were playing at PF and I was like... why the **** aren't they playing Bam haha.

You have the advantage play it.

But true it's only game 2. Don't start going 42 minutes for your all-stars til around game 5.

Trash D doesn't show in these stats.

As I said, on offense he doesn't try to overdo stuff, which is a good thing

But also the same guy you can pick up in free agency for free any given year.

That's why you don't draft guys like Kanter but pick them up as vets in free agency.
