Why I want him in the starting lineup next year

Didn't know about Bam's injury. Hopefully is in a better place on Friday
Jesus Christ all yall care about is Herro taking shots. The only reason Heat struggle was turnovers and not rebounding on loose balls.

That's in response to talks about aggression

Ok let's talk about Herro. The Hawks were pressing Herro and trapping when he was coming off screens. Two defensive schemes Herro is not good passing out of or getting to his shots. Hawks were pressing the three point line. The Hawks were determined to take away the shooters this game except for Strus who they put Young on Strus to defend.

Offensively the Heat were going to Butler early and waiving off Bam. The defense that the Hawks were playing was giving up lanes in the paint in which was BBQ chicken for players like Jimmy and Bam. Instead of giving Bam shots they were waving him off and giving it to Jimmy. This could of been a productive game for Bam and Jimmy. Jimmy took majority of the shots.

Bam and Herro and even Duncan or Strus could of had more shots but the turnovers took away a lot of the attempts. Missing out on a lot of loose balls also took fastbreak opportunities away.

This game could of been a blowout early if they got the loose balls and not turnover the ball.

The defense here by Gabe Vincent deserves recognition.

Once Trae stepped to the side with his non-pivot foot, Gabe "The Glove" Vincent closed in and wrapped Trae up, forcing him into tough pass with limited options of getting out of that situation.

He’s got a couple 50 point games, not sure if they went to OT or not

He only shot 11 times and quite a few look forced because they were; if he doesn't take them, he'll have 7 FGAs - and then people would really be complaining about him.

The way I see it, Herro has a case to be paid or leave to a team that will give him a shot to showcase his true ability.

This is Harden/OKC all over again - 6MOY with a rookie contract that will soon expire on an offense that limits the player's ability to earn their full potential salary.

I don't want to see it, but I can't say I'd blame him.

This guy whining about Spo again :lol:

after a win :-?

Nothing's changed.

We're developing Herro quite well. He's increased his pts every season & took a leap this season. You'd be stupid to think Spo is hindering him in any way, shape or form. Or is this just an opportunity to do what you do best & sook about Spo.

Can we stop with the personal attacks please. Any more and warnings/time off the board will be coming.

You can have a difference of opinion without resorting to name calling and baiting.

I like how it's only now that you're even *thinking* about taking action only after I said I was going off on that little btch.

This guy's been riding my dck for a month now, you're more than aware of it, and you've done nothing about it, but the fcking minute I tell you that I'm gonna go off on him, you're gonna go after me?

How about you do your **** job instead of waiting for things to escalate.

0 points from Drob. 24 minutes from Bam. Outrebounded by 6. It’s ATL, so Yimmy was enough. But the team has to play better.

Duncan didn't make much sense. He must have a strict quota to shoot at least ONE 3 pointer in 5 mins or be benched for good.

Bam has thigh contusion so hopefully he'll be ready for game 3. If Capela comes back it also changes things

Duncan is turning into mike miller with a good back, play him when he's going off for 5+ threes. Sometimes it's just hard to find minutes for bench players when starters often play 40 mpg in playoffs

Heat already have a sixth man in Herro, who they are going to have to pay very well. They need a starter, something drob seems to be incapable of being at this point.

Definitely has been great spots for bettors. I've certainly increased my bankroll after the 2 games. Atlanta hasn't been in a favourable position but that's what comes w/ being 8th on the ladder vs 1st. They have 3 days off before gm3 to rest, compose & settle themselves. It's a must win for them & the best gm to take & totally deflate them for a possible sweep!

Hawks clearly wanted Duncan nullified so we adjusted and played the bully ball that they think they wanted. You saw how that turned out for them. Bogdon got ridiculously hot in the 4th but no one else; Trae was still in jail. Its not going to be perfect, this ain't the regular season. We still won by double digits where we clearly could had won by more if Bam n Herro plays to their season averages.

Or we could have lost & we sitting here w/ a tied series. Happy w/ a win & a chance now to rest, collect ourselves & prepare for gm3.
