Jaime is growing before our eyes. Finally got that SF role all to himself


It’s about to get real scary when we get Fox and I’m not talking Terry
Jamie? :P

I think he'll get there. Has struggled with his shot on this road trip, but shot 40% last year and is at 36% this year. He should be a high 30's guy on decent volume eventually.

The ball moves so much better when he's on the court though.

How good is it seeing Jaime get his game back and look confident out there. You love to see it.

Burks was 2/7 in 18 minutes, we should have left him on the court 2 more mins so he would make 3/3's as per the prophecy

Tbh I'm just glad we haven't fallen in a complete heap with the Jimmy stuff.

Was looking dicey for a minute.

Jimmy may have been a good role model to triple J but he was hampering his development from day 1. His rookie year was a breakout for the first half of the season because he was not playing beneath the shadow of Jimmy. Actually another incentive for the Heat to be completely done with Butler

Amazing how both teams lined up almost everyone on Bam's side for the tip. They seemed to know mr "too small"/"not a real center" was gonna beat 7' Kessler on it.

This season-- I think so. Long term ain't nothing lite about it. Niko is growing into something along the lines of the intl playmaking PFs that have seemingly always ended up in Orlando--Hedo Turkoglu, Franz Wagner. This one is ours tho.

Over the past 2 seasons he is shooting 38.3% from 3 at a rate of just over 6 3PAs per 36 min. He's there. He just doesn't always make the ones you expect and makes some you don't expect.

Jimmy is in the corner crying the Heat don’t need him! Were his friends posting about how he opens up the floor last night?

I've been encouraged by Ware looking comfortable on the floor and not making as many rookie errors as one may expect. Since we've drafted him, I've maintained that once his spatial awareness and knowledge of role catches up to his physical abilities he will be a great force multiplier for this squad. He's ahead of schedule IMO.

Back half of season Bam-Ware minutes may be on the menu.
