It is, so why not give the rookie a try. 6’11” reasons to try IMO.


Because Spo is so intelligent that he's stupid.

I heard Haslem in an interview recently call Jovic “Gameday” says when the lights are on and he’s playing in a game he makes all the right reads and knows exactly were he needs to be. Problem is i think he may be struggling in practice so the notion is he’s the opposite of a practice player and as we know Spo only likes practice try hards lol. Hopefully Jovic puts it all together in practice.

They can gaslight him all they want. It's not going to help the team. 0 and 2. and we haven't looked competent since q1 in Chicago

I mean, go back and rewatch the preseason and see how impactful Jovic was. I mean he was no worse than Herro or Nunn’s rookie showing. But of course, small balls in our faces was the difference.

I think Spo thinks that this team isn't small enough.

It was the only exciting off-season development. Now there is no excitement and no winning either. Ok I'm done venting. These idiots make too much money for me to worry about em. Be losers lol

We should think about bringing Orlando Robinson up. It’s that bad and I think he would be more useful then Dedmon.

This mentally ill Spo concept.

Could he be sneaking into bathrooms to wash his hands and is he actively trying to replace all of the fingers in his hand with pinkies in an effort to continue to go small?

Both games had Caleb/ Highsmith as their 4. Both games were closed enough at one point, but the opposition rebounded without any stress. Size matters.

No chit. Dedmon looked slow, fragile and washed.

Darius Days 6’7 240 PF signed with the Rockets on a two way. We don’t even keep developmental 4 prospects on 2 ways.

The small lineup crap puts me in such a bad mood, knowing that there is a rookie who’s 6’11” and can’t do worse than the undersized crap on the floor. I have plenty of other things to do and I seriously may take this season off. It would make the wife happy, that’s for sure.

Into perspective....is just two games into the season but against major competition and in our home floor ...just signs of things to come?

Yes is the answer... but spo will make the corrections, it's a long season

I'm just dumbfounded as to why he is still so hard headed and a slow after all this time as our head coach ...that is why it was so strange for him to be in the same sentence ass some of the great coaches of the NBA

Won’t be watching much Heat ball this year if nothing changes. It was difficult to stick it out through the Dion/JJ/Tyler Johnson era but at least we still had Wade. But this is a disconnect with this team like never before. Riley will always be a Heat legend & deserves a statue but he needs to go like yesterday

Praying that the size issue is rectified once Yurt is back, but I guess we’ll see…

Herro and Bam weren’t the issue tonight. Passive Jimmy, defense and an extreme lack of size were.

If Bam didn’t hit the henny pre Game 1, that would’ve been a W. He missed like 8 layups/dunks.

I agree here. Play Jovic and let his natural talent take over. You can’t tell me right now that Highsmith is a better player then Jovic. No way no how


Won't change the result. Jovic will get cooked defensively. The issue with this roster is defense. They need to get to trade for a 4 or get someone on a min who is a bigger body like Stanley Johnson to eat some minutes till it gets to the trade deadline and then make a move. But I agree play Jovic but we all we've seen him and he's not a fix to the downgrade we've seen defensively from last year to this year's team



I totally agree. The old version Lowry, Hiero, and Martin are all defensive liabilities right now! I understand Hiero has the big contract and has to start, but we can't start Martin and Lowry seems to have checked out. I would love to see Jovic, but he'll be killed defensively, but he needs to play to get better.
