Loser stays up, embrace the tank!!!

This ain’t no tank. You don’t keep your starters in all the way during a tank down double digits. It’s this team is just pure ass. Durant ain’t coming anywhere near this mess if he’s choosing his location.

Alright. Let the losses continue, the Bulls will eventually pass us.

We don't need the Center Malauch. Our front court can’t stand another non shooting center.

Sell high to players that ain't it. Some players are about to be paid as a superstar contract.

Flagg made the Spo and Micky come out to watch. Flagg is who you tank for to have a chance.

The opponents shoot so many 3s.
What is going on with the perimeter defense??

I don't see the fascination with Malauch either. He seems a tad slow footed and not as athletic as Kelel. And he can't shoot.

I agree, Heat fans think we were at the game to just watch Flagg is what I’m getting at

Needs more time to marinate. Ware needed work. Still does. He can grow here. His skillset is rare.

He’s not really a good fit with Bam. Bam needs a true stretch 4 or 5 next to him. Most success Bam has had is with Burly small 4’s like Crowder and Tucker who chucked 3’s and made them relentlessly and stretch Centers like Meyers and Olynyk who shot like guards from the 3 point line. Jovic is this current team’s best pairing with both Bam and Ware. Go figure he’s are only pure stretch 4 with size

I think if we can get a lead guard who is a playmaker and offense orchestrator, we can let Bam and Ware do what theyre good at.

We are so close in our roster construction. We are just missing that super elusive piece. Gotta get lucky man.

Bro you really believe that Miami is trying to win? If Miami was trying to win, Spo would have tighten the rotations. Highsmith and Duncan would be the only subs, maybe Burks. The starters would be getting a ton of minutes

They're trying to win and just suck and Spo has no answers.

Sure. On the surface you see the main players playing and being inconsistant, but what you don't see/understand is substitution patterns. Bam shot the ball 7 times and scored 6 points. You really think Clippers drew up a defense to stop him? Spo did'nt even break out his patented zone defense tonight. Add in the fact the Spo and Micky went to a Hurricane game to watch Flagg and there you have it.

I've seen enough of Spo's stupidity to know that he's constantly screwing up and I won't just chalk it up to tanking like you do in order to defend him :lol:

. I don't understand substitution patterns? Please...no one understands Spo's whack substitution patterns and rotations. And Bam not getting enough shots is nothing new either.

We just need to get into the top 10 to really get a potential difference maker. It’s a top heavy draft and gets shaky after the lottery. Flagg will be a miracle but i’ll be happy just being in the top 10. Figure we keep our lottery pick as a foundation piece and the GSW pick gets flipped for a quality experienced player like a Markkanen or Sexton.

Need GSW to starting losing. Wth is going on? We havent won since JB left and they havent lost. Thats some crazy chit tbh.

No, but obviously Kneuppel and Malauch don't move that needle. Miami is looking for a star.

I think that’s too easy. Explosive guard will help but spacing is key in this league. Ware doesn’t offer consistent spacing or able to take man off the dribble. We need to be more dynamic. The fit is too clunky. Give me Ace Bailey, Newell, or Fleming next to Bam. If we go the vet route it’s Lauri. Also give Jovic his extension

Kneuppel would be nice as a backup to Herro and potentially push him but i would only take him with the GSW pick in the late teens early 20’s.
