April 19 is a lot sooner than I thought.

Definitely want a young developmental type with that spot. Nunn was an end of the year signing that worked out great.

Starting the 19 of April, Miami will have 15 games till the end of the season.

Is it odd that less then 2 years ago this happened?

Thinking now it’s also possible we just sign one of the two way players to a multi year deal. That would make sense if we really like one of them.

Forum loves Strus, but team seems to be higher on Vincent.

How about KO grabing rebounds like he is Shaq with Houston lol
Good for him

They actually let him play Center. Spo treated him like a two guard.

Iv been saying that for a while that Olynyk actually plays the 2 on offense.

I highly doubt spo will play dedmond today

Doubt Spo will play him at all over the next several weeks. We'll continue to get killed playing small before Spo finally gives in lol

Sadly I don't think he fixes our rebounding problems either. Idk what the front office was thinking for this season. I know they thought they had Morris in the bag, but I feel like after that fell apart they really didn't try hard to get a PF. They just said this is ok run it.

Here is an example of Ariza doing a hand off screen to free up Duncan. Lol he is practically screening nothing. Missing a screener will affect even Nunn if he started.

Spoiler:

What you are seeing from Ariza, Precious, Bjelica and Oladipo at different levels are all the same, they don't understand the offense and/or their teammates tendencies and Miami is trying to integrate 3 of them as rotation players at nearly the same time. I see all 4 just running through the basic motions of the offense and regularly messing up the spacing(and sometimes messing up the basic motions of the offense). It would be much easier having 4 guys on the court with 1 new guy to help him figure out where he's suppose to go, you change that to 2 or possibly 3 then you can have chaos. Just being off by a small amount can change whether or not you're getting a high percentage shot or have created a more difficult shot.

It could be another rocky 2-3 weeks before this team builds enough chemistry with it's current roster to see how good this team can be. The biggest issue is that Spoelstra needs to stick to his guns and quit throwing #$)( against the wall to try to get some wins, just set the rotation, take the loses and let this team build chemistry. I would consider letting Dragic sit for a few weeks (letting Nunn play) and work with him on either getting closer to 100% healthy or getting some of his quickness back. I'd also tell Oladipo, watch Nunn, that's your basic role, just expand upon it when you fell comfortable enough.

Just hope Miami hits it's stride near the end of the year and makes the playoffs, this team has the potential to beat anyone and currently has the ability to lose to anyone.

We did go through a similar thing last year with Jae, but it wasn’t 3-4 players.

To me this is good news, if something serious was wrong they'd be doing an MRI tonight. No matter what, he's not playing anytime soon.

We’ll see. Best case he might just miss a couple of weeks.

The Heat have always done this. They will evaluate him tomorrow and we won't hear anything about it 2 days later.


To me it's either the Meniscus or the ACL, but I hope I'm wrong.



Maybe he was just using it as an excuse because he had to take a sh*t, like Paul Pierce in 08? lol

[The Bunk]

Please don't re-sign. Please.

He has DeVante Parker's body, and that's probably insulting to Parker.

At most if all else fails a one and one with team option. I don’t see anyone going long term with injury history.

Butler went down with a torn meniscus in Minnesota, he was back playing 6 weeks later to get Minnesota to beat Denver to make the playoffs.
