GT # 16, Heat @ Bulls, 22 Nov 2019, 7 PM CT, NBC SCH

I’m telling you it’s hard to be a good team when your starting pg is not giving you any production. All the good teams have good Pgs that can get their team buckets or score when needed. Look at guys like Dinwiddie. He can run the offense but when you need him to he can give you buckets and he’s not even an upper echelon type pg. That just goes to show you how much we need a pg.

It was always kind of strange how so many on this board over looked how sato has come in and pretty much given us nothing but went straight to killing lavine who was giving us 30, 25 point games.

I just want to see what lavine is with a real pg next to him and him being able to just play off the ball.

A pg who will tell lauri to get in spots and work. Sato is literally a non factor most nights

[TheGOATRises007]

Lauri is pitiful.

[Kurt Heimlich]

I've over here thinking 'maybe the heat are using arods HGH miami connection' to try and explain how hilariously outmanned we look compared to them.

[HoopsterJones]

Lauri needs to hit some threes man.

[RememberLu]

When Lauri drives, he seems to be about 5'8" tall. From his body language he makes it clear that he's about to be blocked.

His level of athleticism was vastly over stated

If he had tighter handles or something, at least, man...he's just so bad at creating his own shot

[HomoSapien]

Even though Zach is perfectly capable of shooting the three, I think he seems like he gets in a better rhythm when he's hitting the midranger.

[Red8911]

At least Lavine hitting some shots now. If they were to come back it would come from him and maybe Coby.

[VolumePoster]

Lauri is pitiful.

His drives are so weak and cringeworthy. If he can’t shoot he sucks. His whole game is predicted on being an elite shooter. It’s like he stopped working on it.

[TheSuzerain]

God I hope Elon Musk buys this franchise

[TheGOATRises007]

Lauri is pitiful.

His drives are so weak and cringeworthy. If he can’t shoot he sucks. His whole game is predicted on being an elite shooter. It’s like he stopped working on it.

Looks like he's barely put in any work.

His post-play still sucks and his drives are embarrassing.

And now his three isn't failing = crap Lauri.

[beeshma]

Oh man, the Heat board are roasting Lauri. They are spending most of their time talking about game vs. Phily tomorrow. We are not worthy of respect.

Markkanen might be that guy the Bulls give up on and then a better coached team turns him into a way better player.

How can they give up one of the guys on the leadership council?

[BigUps]

I’m beginning to think all of these open 3’s everyone raves about that we get is by design of the opposing team. They know we have crap for shooters.

Go ahead and shoot! We’ll just grab all the rebounds and beat you.

Boylen may want to adjust the offense, but I’m not sure how. Outside of LaVine and White, we have limited athleticism that can create a shot or get to the basket.

The roster is equally as flawed as the head coach. The only answer is firing GarPax. Their love affair with middling athletes who can’t create a shot hasn’t worked and won’t likely ever work in today’s NBA.

Oh yeah, get Valentine some freaking burn. If we’re going to launch 3’s he needs to play.

Even though Zach is perfectly capable of shooting the three, I think he seems like he gets in a better rhythm when he's hitting the midranger.

Bingo, but our system and boylen telling him to either shoot 3s or drive (even when they pack the paint) and another thing is not running to many pick and rolls (like last year) is making Lavine look super bad on offense. He is much better than what's showing.

[weneeda2guard]

They literally told him to stop taking mid range shots .

[DASMACKDOWN]

The Heat are an example of a competent front office. The Bulls are example of an incompetent front office.

Meh I think we are kinda cherry picking though. Miami has been in no mans land for years. What people would call treadmill team.

What they did get was lucky that they got to move the huge contract of Whiteside and ended up with Jimmy. On top of that Nunn has been unexpectedly huge for them.

[TheGOATRises007]

Leonard blowing by Lauri.

I'm done with him.

[XxMisterFreakXx]

Lauri is not good I just don't see much of anything from him other then shooting and he misses quite a lot for a 'supposed' good shooter.

The only reason people keep defending is where he was picked and his stats just seem to be inflated and seem good just cause he's on a bad team.

Then Lavine is just someone who's looking for for his shot and poor defender with a low BBIQ TBH Booker is better then Lavine and I'm serious.

[TheSuzerain]

Lauri closing out is an abomination in the eyes of god

[LikeMike23]

You should just walk off the court if you let Meyers Leonard hit you with a Euro step

[RememberLu]

yoooo, this is bad

put in Coby and Gafford.

Zach and Lauri have earned a benching for the rest of the night
