If your savior has to be a rookie who hasn't played real NBA minutes, that's an issue.


I didn’t say anything about him being the savior. But it seems pretty obvious to me that the guy on whom you spent a lottery pick because of his perimeter shooting acuity might have a place on the rotation of said team that has absolutely no one who is reliable at said skill.
If you see something suspicious, say something suspicious.

Defensive rotations and coverage of the perimeter just isn’t there. We’re not doing what was making us successful before so no surprise we’re not seeing the same success.

What happened was that the 3pt fall was not falling so they just gave up defending. No urgency out there. That’s how Miami can go and hit 3 straight 3s.

Mose has to figure out who is in his 9 man rotation and stick to it. We are also BADLY missing Ingles, which is a problem.

It sure isn't but Coach Mose definitely gotta shorten this rotation down. Feelings will be hurt but it is what it is.

They are not going to shoot 60% from 3 the whole game... but we may shoot 20% the whole way

This is so unorganized and disjointed. No structure to anything we’re doing, just winging it.

Is it too late to change my season goal to play ins? What a fool I am for even considering the conference semi finals. This team will be under 500 by the All-star break

He's not exactly shooting great in G-League, at best he would be as effective as Gary Harris is when he's struggling because Jett isn't a great defender and a streaky shooter, just younger - we need an actual volume three guy if we want to be playoff threats.

Yeah, Ingles is critical. We threw so many lineups out there it was ridiculous.

2nd unit really needs that extra playmaker and Franz/Paolo aren’t getting it done in his place. Ingles and Isaac are the critical pieces of that bench even though Cole and Moe put up the numbers that show.

Playing this many guys I don't think it's going to work..... Plus the strategy was off from the beginning... Miami is a 3pt shooting team, they shoot the most..... Why are we giving them WIDE open 3s they're stepping into..... Then they get in a rhythm and it's game over..... Why are we doubling on drives? Who is driving to the rim that we're so afraid of that we have to help so much? Stay home on the shooters and force them to drive.... Simple enough

Completely agree, this 3 center rotation is just dumb in my opinion

This team missed the playoffs last year and is the 4th youngest team - any predictions need to be tempered just a bit.
