This team was mid when they were actually trying to win championships. They’ll be lucky to win 40 games this season
Greg saying they are 40 seconds away from victory lol
8:31 not ever, Greg just stop, I love this team but we gotta stop capping
Why can’t they play inside outside? Establish the low post game that will draw the double teams that will open it up for the 3 point shooters
This is because they value hustle over skill.
Need more spacing and better screens set..
These are the key issues
– very little to no 3 point shooting. You guys covered it. Teams will dare Bam and Ware to take over a game, and perimeter defenders will stay with Herro and Powell, because Bam and Ware don't require double teams. It's the truth.
– Miami looks very small out there. Against Orlando, you had Wiggins, Powell, Davion, Jaime jumping around desperately trying to get rebounds when Orlando's lineup was 6'9 or 6'10 and over. They looked silly trying to get rebounds. Spo is in love with the small ball. I saw Dallas use Lively, AD, and Flagg in the same lineup… if we want any chance to seriously compete, you better start playing Ware, Bam, and Jovic together.
No shooting. Too small.
–
No shooting, very little playmakers and no driver that can get to the rim at will and get fouls.
Good luck getting to the 35 wins with this team.
Why does Jamie play like he has no vertical most of the time…. Larson does the same thing
herro, norm and niko will have to carry the 3pt load. sprinkle in Kel'el
$50 mill to not even be able to dominate 3rd stringers…. SMDH
Burks should have Keshad's spot. Dumb roster management strikes again
Hawks staff grabbed people off the street and the smoked the Heat's team. I am consoling myself with the fact 1. It's off-season 2. Their primary scorer is out and he is 3 pts contest winner ..absolute sniper.
Normal Powell shot over 40 percent from 3 last 2 season . Bad look for not knowing that .
Heat we’ll get Simone over 37 percent .
Thats why Heat brought him in .
Other Ringers
Ware
Jovic
Mitchell gets Hot
We have enough until Hero come back
Worse Case we make a trade offer for
a Luke Kinnard Prototype
should've kept cole swider
Simple solution . Eric does not get .
Who ever is HOT during the game you roll with them for that game . SIMPLE
🏆Much better for the Team to spread the 3 ball out by committee
Duncan SUCKED . He is choker when the game counted .
NO defense !!! huge liability
3 Hawks that played, had been on the team for less than 12 hours.
We all saw Bam twist his ankle, thank you for pointing it out??
Heat lose a game in the last second, surely that has never happened b4.
Heat without 2 of their top 4 bigs 2nite. Meanwhile, every time I put the Heat on TV, the other team had acquired a big.
In the off season???
