Miami Heat 2023/2024 Regular Season - Thread 3.0

[SA37]

Name 30 better

Clearly (14): LeBron - Curry - Booker - Durant - Tatum - Doncic - Jokic - Embiid - A Davis - Morant - Giannis - Lillard - SGA - J Butler

Arguably (13): Sabonis - Fox - Mitchell - Kawhi - P George - T Young - Haliburton - Brunson - Lamelo Ball - Jaren Jackson Jr - KAT - A Edwards - Wemby - and Jovic when Spo plays him

I don't think I've forgotten anyone. So, yeah, depending on what kinds of players one likes, Adebayo could be left out of the top-20, although he's making it harder and harder to leave him out.

I’ll give you the 14 although Morant isn’t there this year so I wouldn’t include him for this season.

You should’ve put the fake JJJ, Sabonis, KAT, Lamelo, and Wemby in green font as well. Although Wemby will be arguably the best player in the world in 2-3 years.

Give me Bam over Trae Hali and Brunson too. Trae the worst defender in the league, Hali has to show us something outside of regular season success (imagine if we had him) and Brunson is just a better scorer.

Bams in that Fox/Mitchell tier

KAT dropped 60

And yet we are somehow a bottom 5 offense

Some one going to have to make sacrifices.

Itll Bam unfortunately

Jimmy seems content taking 7-10 shots a game. So maybe he will be the one to sacrifice

And lost to one of the worst teams in the league, and got benched in the clutch, and choked in the 4th terribly, and now only averages 1 more point than Bam when he’s only really good at scoring and Bam is the best defender in the world

[NightWatch]

Miami loves Caleb and honestly with our style of play apparently getting an increase in pace they probably love Martin and Highsmith as our 4s still and are fine with them being set there for the year.

We’re still missing a backup PG and if we’re moving Duncan we need to be getting a shooter back.

Monte Morris and Alec Burks easily makes the most sense to me.

And you sign Tucker in the buyout. That works for me

Tucker is trash.

Yea on paper we are better than last years version of ourselves. However, the problem is Boston got MUCH better than last years version of them, so did Milwaukee. Right now it feels like we are playing catch up, and they are a couple laps ahead

Very skeptical that Boston is better in the playoff game than last year.

**Checks Kristaps Porzingis playoff resume**

2020 (3 games): 23 ppg; 9 rpg; injured and couldn't play in half the series; team lost the series
2021 (7 games): 13 ppg; 5 rpg; team lost the series

KAT dropped 60

And was benched by his coach in crunch time

[IceColdCubano]

I think Terry is going to help get Bam easy looks from his penetration. He is also gonna get the other team to over commit and collapse which means our shooters, Herro, Duncan. I Think JJJ and Terry will be a good blend, because both those guys force defenses to collapse all the time from their penetration will be a good 1-2 punch. Also Lobs to Bam, hell yeah finally get some!!! then thinking about JJJ also getting Lobs!! hell yea as well.

Different Years, Different experiences, Different teams, Different Roles, I wouldn't put much stock in his previous productions as he was used incorrectly with bad organizations. I expect a much better, more efficient version of Kristap as long as he is healthy.

For sure. The pick and roll with Bam gonna be happening too. The one play last night Terry got isolated on Rudy Gobert and he took him to the cup and finished with a layup. Having a guy that can do that will do wonders for our offense. We have been starving for someone who can break down a defense and get past there man on the perimeter to create looks for others.

Damn, y'all hatin' badly.

I mean Miami as a team only got to 87 against the Magic on Sunday....

He was great up until the 4th Q...then he just played really selfish and kept forcing the issue over and over again without looking to pass at all. I mean it was plain to see, he hijacked the offense and made them easy to defend and they lost because of it.

If you wanted to know who needs to cut down their shot diet to spread the wealth I present Herro Exhibit A.

They also got Jrue. Like it or not they are better. Their record shows they are better as well. They were also on a 25+ home win streak. Sometimes we have to put away the homer glasses and acknowledge the competition

I didn't see the game, but getting 60 against any NBA team is obscene even in this day and age of basketball.

Moving forward we can only move our bigger contracts or fill around the with minimum contract talent and undrafted/two way players.

YES. WE. DID.

Scary Terry has better clutch shooting than the man himself Steph Curry in the past 5 seasons. Could provide us with some cool last two minute memories in the playoffs.
