This thread shouldn't be called the case against small ball, it should be called I love Yurt! No shame there. I like the kid a lot, too. I just don't see him as ready to be a starting center on a championship caliber team. Next year, I expect to see him play a pivotal role, but for now I'm cool letting him learn and develop.


Well obviously you haven't read the thread lol
I did read the thread. Seems to be about how we need to insert Yurt into the starting lineup today. I just don't happen to agree.

I want to keep Yurt sand see him play alongside Bam. Really hope he doesn't get dealt today unless Riley pulls off something crazy good.

If it's about Yurt how come I also brought up Turner? Like I already writ, it's a philosophical discussion. Catch up.

our offense is REAAAALLY suspect when we have to rely on the 3 pt shooting to win games. the question that must be asked is will this carry on to the playoffs and if not, then what the heat must do to have a proper offense in no relying too much on the 3 for wins. your opinions on the matter?

That is the big question and only the playoffs will tell. If its a fail, thats another year of prime jimbo wasted, another year of rookie scale Herro wasted, a year of Tucker, Lowry wasted. They are old.
