Thu, 12/8 Heat vs LAC 7:30 PM EST

[Wiltside]

problem is the worst tank position to be in is that just outside the top(bottom) 10 looking in

Last time we had a late lotto pick, we got Herro.

Time before that, Bam.

We have a good track record of finding quality players at those picks. I’ll back us in to find another.

Somewhat, also Winslow, Beasley and Wade. It's really hit or miss in the draft.

That’s still a much better track record than probably 90% of teams picking in the lotto.

Wade - Hall of Famer
Adebayo - All Star
Herro - 6th Man of the Year
Beasley - bust relative to draft position, but still carved out a decade long career
Winslow - role player who should have a 10yr career

Then there's some other questionable draft picks, for instance KZ who they considered drafting in the 1st then sent out multiple 2nds to draft him, there's also passing up Maxie. It's really hit or miss; you can draft for talent, or you can draft for a role which also throws more random ability of hit or missing on picks. Miami does have consistency in its coaching and front office because major changes in either of those also can make a player a bad fit for the team.

I think the KZ at 14 talk was just BS by the organization to prop him up tbh but obviously it was a massive fail either way. Ironically he’d help us right now a little

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Unfortunately I think we see Bam forced to do a lot more playmaking and DHOs tonight due to not having a PG. Hopefully I’m wrong and we get point Jimmy and double double Tyler with the Bam/Herro Hawks game connection

[ShulaDon92]

After rewatching the highlights i dont think we're that far away. We're clearly talented.

Just put it together, theres still time.

[heatwillbeback]

Dru Smith is starting....

Probably just intended to keep the only player who could score off our bench on our bench (Strus). Not looking forward to seeing him play a bunch though.

[ShulaDon92]

Lack of depth is clearly draining us like a vampire.

It is what it is.

[3ammy3uck3ts]

We’re not deep at all so pulling someone outside of the rotation and starting him makes sense, we need bench scoring in the worst way. This has usually always been Spos mindset when a starter is out, especially in the big 3 era but he’s been going away from that for a couple seasons now.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little disappointed Dipo wasn’t getting the start and 26 minutes tonight or if I wasn’t hoping for a little more dynamic or a lineup like starting Cain and seeing if he could emulate his preseason play and use his athleticism to his advantage for a solid scoring and rebounding night

[KingDavid]

we prob win this one
last op ain't it

Is this the thanks I get for my sacrifice?

Treacherous.

[3ammy3uck3ts]

That was elite analysis about the White mashup jerseys today by the way but I understand we don’t all appreciate greatness when we see it

Seems like the ideal time to play Cain. I guess spo hasn't been liking what he's seeing.

Oh and everyone, I wasn't blaming Herro for the last loss. I identified a pattern. That's all. It's weird to see.

I maybe alone with this, but I hate those jerseys. I wish we could get the vice nights back. Not that cotton candy bs either.

[ShulaDon92]

I may be wrong but right now Im taking Tyler Herro over Donovan Mitchell.

[ShulaDon92]

Donovan has an inside game, sure, but he's also a midget. Herro can roast you outside harder than Mitchell can.

I wish we’d wear them every night lol seems to bring the best out of us

I want the old white hot and red Christmas jerseys back from the big 3 era

[3ammy3uck3ts]

I may be wrong but right now Im taking Tyler Herro over Donovan Mitchell.

Yea you couldn’t be more wrong it’s honestly not even close at this point and time and this isn’t even a shot at Tyler

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Stop it

I hate the black ones. The white ones are fire though. I know I'm getting a Herro one for Christmas because my wife didn't hide it and I saw it by mistake. Also getting a white mashup hat. Pretty dope. Black one is ugly though.

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Got the white mashup Bam jersey already, getting the Jimmy throwback jersey when they start selling those this season

[IceColdCubano]

Please do not overeact if Dru smith plays out of his mind tonight, he is a G league player.
