A lot of important games here.


Lol we hear 'make or break' all the time. They'll just end up going 4-2 or 3-3.

Imagine having a PG that can actually throw lobs?

A confident Max Strus with Spo's support with the home crowd cheering him on can easily win 3 games himself. He has that kind of firepower. It's unique and the reason why we'll hand him a 100m contract at the end of the season. :lol:

Maybe now that we have size we can play Duncan Donuts.


Convinced that Max Strus will get poached in offseason, we will trade Lowry, retain Gabe and Dipo and give Duncan the minutes that were going to Strus, so that he can maybe actually provide value or regain even the smallest amount of value so that we can trade him at the deadline.

Duncan won't see minutes this season unless it's a blowout win or loss. Now that we have Love and some added depth and players are healthy, there's no reason for him to see the court.


Yeah Whether Strus gets poached or not, Duncan looks encased in glass. We need to get him in a rhythm. Three ball spams and thats it. No overcomplicating his shtick. He looks like his wang has shriveled. The plus being now his body should be fresher to spambot threes again, theoretically.

Get my guy Gogi. He doesn't deserve to go out like this.

Not sure what Goran has left, he knows the system, he will probably be more productive here than he was during his time on other teams.. but he also brings something more valuable in that locker room, the team absolutely loves him. From riley, spo, haslem, bam, herro, butler.. they would be so happy just to have him in the locker room

This is the scenario where UD's roster spot is a real pain in the ass.

We should be rolling with:

Lowry / Vincent / Dragic
Herro / Oladipo / D. Robinson
Butler / Strus / Cain
Love / Martin / Jovic
Adebayo / Zeller / Yurtseven / O. Robinson

With Lowry's question marks, we could absolutely use a vet like Gogi who knows the Heat like the back of his hand.

Just let Highsmith go. We have his replacement with Cain

To be honest if we’re going to cut someone to sign a PG we should’ve just done it for Pat Bev. I mean I wouldn’t be mad at it but if the goal is to win….

20 games left, I guess it’s finally time to start campaigning for our backbone and franchise cornerstone since it worked so well waiting this long the last few years!

I call a few weeks back they’d start this with 20 games left :lol:

Lowry out again and Barry is at his wits end. At this point Lowry Dipo and to a lesser extent Gabe are injury prone. Might as well bring down insurance in

He's a great coach. Sad the amount of hate he gets on these boards sometimes. Most teams would kill to have him

Amazing, elite coach who’s having a bad season. Nothing wrong with calling it what it is.

We’re 60 games in and still running the same equal opportunity offense that hasn’t worked all season. He doesn’t push his stars the extra mile despite them openly wanting that. Rotations are set in stone for our stars but we push guys like Strus 40+ minutes a night when Spo feels like it. We should not be relying on undrafted scrubs over our star players or actual nba talent level players

Is that a cooking? Could be.

I meant Dragic fits the bill? Is he healthy?
