Nooo. Just stay on what's working, leave Ware-Jovic combo off the bench for now.

Exactly. Starting Jovic is not the answer. We need to find another option over Highsmith at the 4. Maybe even give Keshad Johnson a fair look


Keshad hasn't played. He can't go from not playing to starting. Play Jovic and see what happens. We have no margin of error. We need to start well in games. Jovic is a connector, I think he can fit well with any group. And its not like the current rotations has been working. We've won just one game without Butler. There is still room to optimize the lineups. And if he starts, spo can tweak the substitutions to get him time with Ware.

Same with Terry too.


Herro, HH, JJJ, Niko, Ware would be a sweet starting lineup


Bam's already low confidence would be shattered if Spo does this, and we don't want that to happen :lol:

I'd like to see Ware get more minutes though.

Last time he started Jovic a few games back we got out of wack. The chemistry of the bench unit needs to be left alone.

I'm not sure if there's been a worse pick up than Terry Rozier in my time as a Heat fan. I'd honestly rather Lowry at this point and I hated Lowry lol

I don’t like being too harsh too quick but somethings gotta give with terry. Coaches really have to find a way to get him right or we gotta move on. Last ditch effort might be 6th man.
