Change is necessary yes. Lowry played decent, and Duncan has shown this year that he can come in and contribute.. but I think we get exposed game after game in rebounding and being too small. Myles Turner?, Siakim?, Markennen? A player like that could actually make us going for a chip this year a little more seriously.
We need a change in our bench tbh but Portland has Dame who killed us last night.
The Heat have known they needed to strengthen their weaknesses since the end of Game 7 vs Boston and nothing was done. Stop looking for a savior. No one is going to walk through the FTX Arena doors and save Miami. I'm tired of hearing and seeing "if this… if that…" This is what is. Period. The guys in the locker room need to figure it out themselves because the way things are trending, the Heat are going to remain a sub .500 team. It's still early enough in the season for them to turn things around but none of their wins have looked particularly clean and they're losses have really looked ugly, especially when they collapse on D. There are too many issues to touch on on a YouTube comment. They just keep digging themselves deeper in a hole with each loss. They need to figure it out before the hole becomes their grave. Not panicking though. There is always a chance and the Heat have the mettle to figure things out. They just don't look like a cohesive bunch right now.
So hurtful
Every heat player who played was in double figure scoring except for, guess who?
I love the show but I'm sick of you constantly bashing Tyler but giving Jimmy and bam a pass. You literally found a way to blame a loss on Tyler in a game he didn't PLAY IN. Never mentioned bams offensive foul with 8 seconds left which was the reason Portland had the last shot in the first place!!!! Tyler has led us to 3 of 5 wins and you want to bench him. We need wes back!!
Jeremi grant is the 4 we need. Dude would fit in like a glove on this heat team
Wish we could get Paul George and put him at the 4. Justice Winslow played well. Turner and Hield
Great job Dave
I am done with the Bam project. The Heat made a huge mistake in giving him a max contract. He is just a good defender but that's it. He needs to be traded before his stock value drops even more.
Couldn’t agree more regarding the score. There’s no reason why this game should’ve came down to that shot.
Butler went in 6mins left in the 4th… Thanks Spo
We need to Yurt or another big man. That can grab rebounds and move his feet well.
I’m sorry David, I can’t agree with you on benching Tyler. It’s not he’s fault. That’s the coaching/ staffs job to look for guys that comes off the bench to give us that scoring when starters are out.
Benching our 22 year old budding star bc our 37 year old PG shoots 1-8 from the field when he has to catch and shoot wide open 3s is insane. Herro ball vs the Pacers could have worked if shooters hit their wide open 3s. The offense was stagnant this game as well without Herro, scapegoating Herro will just hurt us more bc we won’t be looking for real solutions. The lack of bench scoring falls on the lap of Pat Riley and Victor Oladipo. We can’t keep looking to Herro to bail everyone out on the bench
