Tyler Herro is a some of the time player and Dru Smith you’re tempted to label as an all of the time player. You guys are smoking crack
Eric small ball Spo is the definition of potential killer stop applauding him how can you maximize players if you have such a short leash … 😒Micheal Beasley 😔
Talking about ware like heat fans did not just see him start while bam and herro were both gone and the team did great! He’s played every game this season for heat and is still leading in team stats for rebounds and blocks even though they’ve destroyed his playtime. Bam isn’t a center in this league anymore the teams are too tall if we want an advantage from him he has to go against the 4s leave ware at 5 and go look for a backup big man when the terry money becomes avail
Once a player loses his confidence in this sport, he’s finished. Move on. People are thinking about it too hard.
Wiggs is the best player on this team….not the best scorer or shooter…but the best all around player….no cap
If JJJ doesn't get down hill… he's not effective…he can't shoot that good 15 ft and our away from the basket..and his defense is subpar
The real question is what makes the Heat a contender:
1. Bam improving his offense and averaging 25pts efficiently & demanding double teams every game?
2. Herro improving his defense & not being able to get targeted?
1000 % Bam is a some of the time player!!!!
Stop with all the excuses!!! Bam is a Mid-Some of the time player. He doesn't fit offensively because he doesn't have an offensive skill set. Bam is a #3 at best.
He could be more of a scorer but he don't have the mindset also if you notice he's turning down more threes now earlier in the season he was just letting it fly now he hesitating and pump faking
This is an easy one to grade all Mid like their record
Only grade that matters is Spo, and I give him an S for STINKS.
Bam confirmed not a max player
