Miami Heat 2023/2024 Regular Season - Thread 3.0

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Bridges is the last player I’d want. I’d have a hard time watching the heat featuring someone like that

Did you watch when we had Nunn and James Johnson?

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Terry isn’t just doing it against bottom feeders either.

42 vs the full strength Suns

39 vs the bulls, they suck but was Caruso guarding him?

37 vs the Nets, did y’all see us trying to score on them last game?

34 vs the Kings, one of the top teams in the West

34 vs the Heat, best team in the league

30 vs the pelicans, several stud defenders.

Terry is averaging 29.5-3-9 vs us this year shooting 52% from the field, 57% from 3 on 10 attempts, and 94% from the free throw line. He has passed his auditions with flying colors.

Almost exclusively cooking Caruso. Impressive to see.

When's the last time a Heat player got a step on a top perimeter defender to get into the paint????

Nice, this would be a massive pickup

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Dipo in 20 games for Houston before we acquired him: 21-5-5 on 41-32-78 shooting splits.

Rozier right now: 24-4-7 on 46/37/85 shooting splits

The underlying implication here is ownerships willingness to take on long money. I think at this point you just have to get the best player possible. Rozier/Murray don’t transform the team into instant favorites but they are the best available, seems they have to make a play for one. Brown fits like a glove in the utility role but not a ceiling raiser with this team, Tyus is in that same category.

Lowry must have hurt feelings about the Jaime and Butler commercials lol

Easily my least favorite Heat player of all time. I knew he was too damn old to give him that contract.

I hadn't been posting this stats, here's the numbers after 43 games. Only 6 being a NetRating (ORTG-DRTG) zero or higher. Butler's NetRating is good but low overall for him even at this point in the regular season.

Neither did I.

I attest bullies in general, really don't dig dudes who hit chicks in particular....but I was not there, I have no idea what went down or what their dynamic was.

I also believe people can grow and learn and in general believe it is important for society to give second chances. I am pretty anti-cancel culture. IF the dude, any dude has an established track record of negative culture ...I really don't want anything to do with them....as a fan......but if we are talking an isolated incident, and he has gotten the help he needs to be a better person, I am all for the Heat giving him a shot.

[Rapaz]

Trade season formally is upon us now that Greg Salamander has started firing off his "insider" info.

I'll be warming up the Cronin shtick shortly to really get us going.

Well at least Kyle won't have to see this since he blocked Greg last year after Greg suggested he should be traded

Wasn't there, Don't know what happened. But what I do know is that I am no saint. While I haven't beaten a woman, I have done plenty of things growing up that I am not proud of. To want to banish someone to oblivion, I would first have to kick myself out. People are redeemable. There are very few things someone can't come back from and grow.

Man for a talent and athleticism starved team like we've been for years now, to have Rozier and Bridges would be huge upgrades. But I'm not sure I like the Rozier, Herro backcourt. Herro really needs to come off the bench or be traded imo. Robinson fits so much better with that group. Rozier basically gonna be a new and improved gunner and Herro right beside him still trying to be a gunner won't work.

This is the way, 6 man Herro or trade to improve elsewhere. That starting 2 guess spot should belong to Duncan
