3 Miami Heat Players That MUST Step Up For Heat To Make NBA Finals Ft. Terry Rozier & Nikola Jovic



3 Miami Heat Players That MUST Step Up For Heat To Make NBA Finals Ft. Terry Rozier & Nikola Jovic

What’s up everyone I’m Nick Roff of the heat report on today’s show we’re talking about three players that need to step up on this Miami Heat team if they want to make another run to the NBA finals they obviously made it last season before losing to the nuggets in

The finals in five games but these three guys specifically I’m going to talk about today are X factors in difference makers for Eric spoler and this Heat team before we get to those three guys I need the Good Vibes to be entered into the YouTube Atmosphere you want the heat

To win the East for the third time in the last five seasons and make the NBA Finals once again like the video I expect to get at least 250 likes on this one so don’t disappoint me don’t disappoint Miami and Jimmy Butler all right let’s get into the first player on

My stepup list and it is Terry r rir the player that Pat Riley traded for just two weeks before the NBA trade deadline and as we know rosier’s first two to three weeks with this Heat team were a little bit of a disaster he was doing some good things playmaking wise

Averaging about 12 points a game but he was shooting sub 40% from the field and under 25% from Beyond The Arc as of late though Terry Rosier has been playing much better basketball he has really found his comfort level with this Miami Heat team him and adab bio have

Developed some solid chemistry and we saw him and Jimmy as a two-man lineup on the Saturday game against the Jazz take over in the third quarter and really bring the heat back from down 11 to up five in just that 12 minute span and if we look specifically over the last five

Games and I want to do make this clear this video is filmed before the Heats game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday so well if you’re watching this on Saturday you could see some different numbers but between the Portland Trailblazers game when Terry returned to the game against the

Mavericks on Thursday Rosier has been a different player 19 points per game sixo assists which has really impressed me and I want to say that his game against the Dallas Mavericks was so impressive have having 22 plus points having 11 assists he really carried that heat offense at times when Jimmy and Bam

Played poorly it’s the efficiency for Scary Terry though that I want to bring up I talked about how poor he started with Miami well the last five games 48% from the field and 41% from Beyond The Arc that’s the Rosier that Miami needs and that’s the Rosier that Pat Riley

Thought he was going to get when he dealt away Kyle Lowry in a 2027 protected first round pick to the Charlotte Hornets for Rosier and if Terry continues to play like this he is going to elevate this Miami Heat ceiling for this year like if he continues to

Play like that you get hero back Duncan continues playing well you have some other guys stepping up and then Jimmy Butler and Bam show up in the postseason like they always do this Heat team is absolutely at the upper echelon of the Eastern Conference and will threaten Boston and honestly I already think

They’re better than Milwaukee and Cleveland we don’t talk about that team out in Denver out west though we’ll just consider the east at least as of now but let’s look at Rosier even more in those last five games cuz his Advanced stats paint a larger and better picture for

Terry Rosier his offensive rating is at 114.5 defensive rating at 113 so he’s got a positive net rating at 1.4 his true shooting percentage is out of this world at 61.1% that is fantastic by the way because it takes into account free throws three pointers and kind of Waits

That at that system to show what is most important and that’s the true shooting mark that I look at in terms of efficiency and when you’re at 61.1% that is very good and his usage rate has also went up that should be as of no surprise

With Tyler her out of the lineup but his usage percentage is going up at 23.6 yet his numbers are actually increasing I don’t want to Lally draw conclusions from that but I do find it fascinating that he has gotten more of a role over the last week and a half on this Heat

Team and he has been more efficient and actually been a more better basketball player that is number one on my stepup list if he continues to play like this this Heat team will be absolutely dangerous come April and I want to show Scary Terry some love down below I

Should see everybody in the comment section spamming those twos because if you want Rosier to continue to play at this level type those twos and everybody should want that number two is Nica yic and I hate to beat a dead horse here and you know be a broken record as they call

It but yovic is to me one of the most important players on this Heat team and I know that might sound crazy for someone who’s only averaging 7 17 minutes a game has only played in 26 games this season and he’s only averaging six points per game right and

He’s the thing that makes yovic so special to me is the ability for him to space the floor and shoot from Beyond The Ark yes he is shooting 43% from Beyond The Arc this season and that is just flat out incredible for someone of his size and that’s the part that really

Makes him super important in my eyes when you played Nia yic alongside Kevin Love alongside bam Metabo because I don’t think yic is someone who should be playing that Center spot as the lone big man he is a complimentary piece to Kevin Love or bam Metabo at that four spot he

Allows us to match up with Boston with Milwaukee and Cleveland better just think about those lineups the Celtics like to run at times with Chris STS and Al Horford or christops and Luke cornette or El Horford and Luke cornette that’s a too big lineup you can match

That with yic and Kevin Love yic and Bam Bam and Kevin Love and if it’s a just one big lineup for the Celtics which is kristofh porzingis you can stick yic on him because you’re not going to be afraid of porzingis using his weight and size that he doesn’t have that much of

To back down NOA and he is not going to rise over yovic as well as he can rise over an adaba who’s only 69 or Jimmy Butler who defended him at times at 66 you can play bam as a Rover as well well yic helps us match up so much better

With Boston same thing with Milwaukee when they have Giannis and Brook Lopez and then Cleveland with Jared Allen and Evan Mobley when he returns from his injury it just gives the heat more size but does not sacrifice any spacing Nico yic is an absolute Difference Maker for

This Miami Heat team want to make sure you are subscribed as we inch closer to that postseason Run for the Miami Heat we are what just a month and a half away from the season ending in going into playoff Jimmy Butler mode we have weekly watch parties for the Miami Heat leading

Up to that portion we’ll be live I think again on Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets that’s the next time Miami plays or no we’ll be live actually if you’re watching this on Saturday on Sunday against the Washington Wizards excuse me hit that sub button and join our playoff

Push final player that I want to talk about today is Kevin Love and maybe this is a little bit misleading because I don’t think Kevin Love Has to step up because love has been terrific all season long but he isn’t an exactor for this Heat team if they want to make the

NBA Finals once again his absence over the past week or so has been absolutely felt when having him out of the lineup who knew that Kevin Love was going to be such a Difference Maker for this Heat team as a backup center when they just

Signed him a year and a half ago as the backup guy off the buy up Market but this season he has been utterly terrific nine points a game 6.2 rebounds only plays about 17 18 minutes a contest but at absolutely makes his Mark felt in those moments 35% from Beyond The Arc

But the thing that really stands out to me is his ability to just dominant dominate I should say on the board on the glass and he hasn’t been that bad defensively either and I think what we’ve noticed over the last week when Kevin Love has been out of the rotation

With his heel injury and hand issue well Thomas Bryan or Orlando Robinson simply cannot play in April in May and hopefully in June because those two are getting cooked on a daily basis I appreciate the effort they play with and it’s not a lack of effort for those two

When they’re on the court it’s just simply they’re not athletic enough and not experienced enough in the case of Orlando Robinson to compete with other bigs and starting guys who just dominate them inside in the pick and roll and get on the glass like the reason why the

Heat lost to me against the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday is because they got outrebound founded in the third quarter and the late second quarter which allowed Dallas to creep back in obviously you’re not going to win when bam and Jimmy combined for 28 points but

The minutes we’re at a bile we off the court you can just see how the Mavericks ate inside and were able to run an elite pick and roll with either Kyrie or Luca and I’m not saying Kevin Love is going to step in and just be this other

Worldly impact Defender but he’s so much more experience it’s so much better of a fit on this Heat team that it just makes Thomas Bryant and Orlando Robinson looked like g-league guys and JV players that they cannot be on the court when we’re talking April basketball when everything tightens up and the pressure

Gets on the team even more those are the three guys that I want think that he need to step up and be an X Factor for this team to make it to the NBA finals once again Rosier niic Kevin Love name someone down below if you think someone

Else I didn’t name Jimmy bam Duncan because those guys are so good that you know and need them to step up either way these guys are kind of on the outer cast that might not be talked about enough but also like the video because I want

To get 250 likes to get the Good Vibes flowing him for the heat to make the NBA Finals once again so like the Video

  1. Absolutely correct. Those are our 3 most important players outside Bam and Jimmy. Truth is Bam needs to step up. He has been awful offensively as of late.

  2. If we were to lose Kevin Love for the playoffs, we would be in serious trouble against certain squads. Jovic is key, though, if he is able to become a good defender, we will be in very good shape. When the Heat brass decided to pass on trading for a big or getting one off of the Buyout market, that signaled it was Jovic time.

  3. I think Scary Terry is now playiing the real SCARY TERRY when he was in Charlotte already,,, so keep it up Scary Terry! 🔥🔥🔥

  4. If bam goes out and thomas briant steps on the floor i start sweating. If kevin love hits the floor then we are chilling. Kevin is so essential. Also he will randomly hit 3s

  5. #Waive Bryant then search earth 🌎 for his replacement , there's a backup center out there that can provide winning minutes. Defense , rebounds , putbacks , high IQ , and blocks.
