Midgets @ Pistons 12/6 7:30PM

[KingDavid]

Tune in for more headless chicken defense, midget ball, overplaying g-leaguers and yet another game without our talented first round 6'11" big who spo would rather send to the g-league than playing him at pf instead of suffering with 6'5" Caleb Martin at the 4...or lowsmith; another midget.

[Wiltside]

Inspiring GT, KD.

Will we see the return of Oladipo?

[3ammy3uck3ts]

ICC said Dipo is back, hopefully he can save this **** show of a bench. I better see a completely different Heat team for this one than I just watched tonight. It’s time for sleepy Pat to wake up

[HeatFanLifer]

OP can’t even put a date on the GT. We’re doomed. DOOMED.

[eddieheatfan]

i think this team will rebound but i could be wrong

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Bam was seeing doubles and was actually being defended by walls the way we defend Giannis, we’ll see how he adjusts to that going forward.

Will Jimmy care tonight?

Will the bench give literally anything at all?

I guess we’ll see, if we lose this one I’m probably checking out until roster moves are made. We’re relying on too many guys right now that you could argue only have a spot in the league because they’re with us.

OP “should” get a banner but we might not see one this entire season the way these clowns are playing right now.

Next 11 games:

Vs Pistons
Vs Clippers (back to back for them)
Vs Spurs (1-16 last 17)
@ Pacers
@ Thunder
@ Rockets
@ Spurs
Vs Bulls
Vs Pacers
Vs Wolves
Vs Lakers

You have an easy 3 game home stretch, followed by what’s got to be the easiest 4 game road trip of the season, then another easy 4 game home stretch.

I’m being a little nice here but anyways less than 8-3 is a complete failure. I’d like to think 10-1 or 9-2 are doable but realistically we’ll go 6-5

Well its to be expected the statistics were clear that Bam leads us to wins when he is the driving force of our offense. Teams are scouting us better now that this is our bread and butter expect to see it often to derail Bam from getting comfortable. Now is what separates the elite players from the middling ones is can Bam adjust to the doubles and create opportunities or will he fumble & crumble.

Yep it’ll be a learning experience, just part of getting better although it probably wouldn’t have mattered had anyone on the bench showed somewhat of a pulse lol

[SerialChiller]

Dipo Day!?

[Tony15]

Wasn't Caleb flourishing at the 3? Why has that gone?

Team needed someone to replace Tucker since they didn't get someone in the offseason like they should have. And we have a surplus of guards and wings but need bigs, so he got moved up to the 4 out of necessity and I think he was fine with it because it meant more minutes and starting.

My problem with this organization is we waited until now to get Bam to be the driving force even when everyone and their mother has being seeing the same thing, including Jimmy making comments the past couple years saying: "we will go as far as Bam takes us".

which means Bam is behind the learning curve again. Now we need for Bam to go through another year or two in polishing that aspect of his game to catchup with teams sending doubles at him. That's my problem with the organization, we are the everyone eats free opportunity offense, and never decided to go and get our highest paid players to learn running the offense through them early on, now here we sit starting from scratch trying to learn how to counter and getting those players comfortable in this new situation.

Same thing I see wit Herro and Bam pick and roll, we saw how potent it was from the get go, but now were finally implementing it in spurts and go away from it during critical moments in the game, its insanity. In those moments the other team counters our pick and role which Boston did on some occasions we don't know how to react because for the last 3 years we decided that both of them should only be a cog in the machine and not be the levers pulling, so they can get repetition under their belt. Albeit its mostly due to Jimmy being here that were hyper focused on the Jimmy timeline but it comes at a detriment as we can see the longer we keep holding on to this dream of Jimmy making it happen were only looking at what's directly in front of us.

Its why we keep finding ourselves overpaying on undrafted talent instead of going out and getting known commodities that have track records. Every team needs internal developmental players to keep the end of the bench fed and be able to afford top talent at the top, but not at the level we have here. We find ourselves here because we paid some outlandish salaries we thought could get traded and used for assets as it turns out their actually not assets but depreciating unwanted assets. Who the hell wants dedmon salary filler, or Duncan whos out of the rotation player/injuries have been masking him to protect his value somewhat but its BS he can play they rather show him on the injury report to prevent him from depreciating more. Lowry is not producing to the value he signed for, and nobody needs a aging pg with 2 years left on his contract at 30M, like Nobody, our assets are also not valuable because we don't tank, we are always fighting, so you could say its a 1 to 1.5 ratio on our FRP's, and a second rounder doesnt make up for that missing .5 FYI so you find yourself putting 2 FRP's to make a team feel justified to take on our bad decisions.

Don’t worry guys new Heat twitter cult hero Haywood Locksmith will D his way into your heart and carry us to victory. McGruder 2.0 in full effect. The worst thing to happen was him playing semi decent. We have our 6’11 1st round pick who actually has NBA skills languishing in South Dakota instead of gaining valuable on the job skills with our vet players guiding him in NBA. But Haywood Highsmith Defense

Dewayne Dedmon playing through plantar fasciitis. This team is down so bad. Maybe we get Jovic back in at PF and Martin at the 3.

When he was horrible, he was very hesitant on offense, he gained some confidence and looked like an NBA player. If he can stay confident, he's a possible defensive rotation player on a very cheap contract for this year and next. All he has to do is play good defense, shoot 3s and quit trying to create his own shot.

Problem is he’s another SF being forced to play PF. I’d rather use his 1.8 on a real PF since he’s not offensively competent enough to handle the 3.

At PF?

There are other players I'd move for a 4 before Highsmith, for one... Robinson.
