Yeah, not a winner in my book. Herro is better now at this point.

Its not. He's not even the solution at point guard. At the end of the day they are a 10th seed under 500 play in team that's about to get whooped by the Cavs. No role player for that team is a must. He's great being an energy guy and swing games. But they need to a playmaking point guard to raise this team's long term floor and ceiling. A guy you are not pegging as a starter can't be a must if you are a bad to mediocre team.


That take is really out of context. Sure, they finished 10th, but the Herro/DM backcourt posted a +5.7 net rating over 642 minutes ; that’s not looking like a fluke.

Davion’s been the best guard they’ve had next to Tyler. He brings defensive intensity, averages 5.3 assists to just 1.7 turnovers, knocks down threes, and actually complements Herro’s game instead of overlapping with it.

He’s clearly the best fit they’ve found alongside Tyler.

The only real concern might be size, but beyond that, Davion checks every box you'd want in a guard next to Herro and you’re not getting a better one without paying a steep price.

Is Davion the good karma we get from having to suffer through Kyle and Terry?

Immediately thought of Joakim Noah in that interview saying "it's all factories".

He and Davion took over. Never scared of the moment. It's been incredible.




I hate that I missed it but I had to drive up to north Florida with. car full of high school age girls....


I hate missing Mitchell going off...I gotta find some replays....


Yah know...it was so obvious since his first game here....that dude has something we have been chasing.....and he is sooo consistent.

We got a glimpse of that impact with Dipo, got glimpses of it with Caleb...but neither were as game in and game out is Mitchell.


I really doubt we have seen the best version of Mitchell we could see with Miami....odds are there is more growth to be had....they gotta lock this dude up.

Phew, lots of butt clenching, but glad the guys pulled it out in the end!

What happened to Bam's headband btw? Hope he find that, and his mojo for the next round.

This explains Spo's play design on that final play in regulation, which everyone (including me) thought was weird/bad. Looking back on it, it was actually brilliant. Took their best perimeter defender COMPLETELY out of the play. That's why he's a HOF coach and we aren't lol.

Known as a bad shooter that to incredible balls for Davion to call his own number and take clutch shots without hesitation. That's the difference with other players on our team scared to pull the trigger in tight moments.
Herro has always been solid. He is finally healthy again and this was the best version we have ever seen from him especially with his decisiveness. Glad we got the win but some of those guys needed a sub and Ware has a passive defensive affect that makes things easier plus let him learn. Someone said they wanted us to lose because davions value would get too high... too late now.
1. Herro 2. Bol Bol 3. Seko 4. Bruno
unless we trade up for Barrett or trade down for PJ Washington

His rep has been engined by a fluke ECF finals run from 5 years ago. I want nothing to do with him.
