Strus and Caleb Martin are better all-around players than Herro. We were a better team when he was the 6th man. Herro can spot-up shoot and make an occasional floater in the paint...that's about it.

He's not our best player, Bam is.

Neither are “best player on a championship team” level but we knew that already, no reason to hate.

I do like that this season Tyler proved he has the bball IQ to fit in if the pieces are there, and Bam added the 3-point shot to his arsenal. Now the question is can you add the missing piece without having to use them to get it.

This roster is an absolute work of [sh]art.

Garland shoots one from 30 feet and Herro is the closest defender. Lmao.

But it's not really a team defense problem.

The cavs game plan was to hunt herro. Herros counter was to give up on plays. And spo just let them switch onto herro or put him into an action every trip down the floor. I dare anyone to find a playoff game where 1 person got hunted this mercilessly and the coach just let it happen. 1. Just 1.

Now guys are trying to overhelp on herro, so now we have open looks and an inability to grab rebounds.

It's a 1 person problem that the coaching staff had to have seen coming.

this is why i wanted the heat to lose the play in, now we are going to be clowned by the cavs of all teams. this teams needs a full rebuild from top to bottom. they are trying is just talent is not there

You always get that one player that plays like a super star against us then reverts back to a nobody

Danny Green was the greatest shooter in the world in the 2013 Finals.

Patty Mills in the 2014 finals :oops:

Jovic time?

Double edge sword but spo threw the whole kitchen sink at the Cavs to steal game one hoping they were rusty.. in hindsight should have given guys like pelle and jovic mins to keep the main guys little fresher

That’s not the answer. The best version of this team is when he’s the backup PG.

Lol what. Have you seen how bad Caleb Martin has been this year? One bad game against the #1 seed, after carrying us through the play-ins, and you guys are back on this BS?

I give Herro the nod this season. He is the main reason after all why we're in playoffs so far. But both players are not 1A caliber that can lead to a deep run.

I dont know if i despise more to see the celtics winning the championship or listen to Eric Reid's stupid takes, Miami down 15 with 3 minutes to go and talking about not to turn off the tv, as we still had the big 3

WTF, how was that overturned??

insfo · Post #558 » by **insfo** » Mon Apr 21, 2025 1:16 am

clear arm on Tyler's hip as he was going up

Post #559 » by **DayofMourning** » Mon Apr 21, 2025 1:17 am

Just checked. Herro has given up 50 of the Cavs 52 points this half.

oreon · Post #560 » by **oreon** » Mon Apr 21, 2025 1:17 am

Herro having a not great 2nd half. But I am not gonna dump on him too much. He has been their best player and without him they are not in the playoffs at all.
And its game on the road with 1 day rest after 2 games on the road. Its not shocking they collapsed in the 4th.
