TOUGH DECISION: Will Miami Heat Start Tyler Herro And/Or Norm Powell When Healthy? | Heat Podcast
The Miami Heat have won five straight games, and All-Star Norm Powell has missed this whole stretch with a groin strain, while Tyler Herro has played well. It begs the question: Should Erik Spoelstra reinsert Powell into the starting lineup when he returns? And, if so, who goes to the bench? Wes Goldberg and David Ramil discuss the difficult decision that Spoelstra will have to eventually make.

Like I’ve been saying for years but yall call me a Herro stan bc your hate for the guy blinds you Herro is a star and no doubt a starter he’s the best player on this team he keeps getting better he’s young and homegrown! David hates saying he was wrong 😂 to still say Powell should start over Herro is ridiculous
Switch out pella for norm
Norm has his all star title…can't be taken away…Herron is on a Heater right now…there is continuity and a win streak…norm can kill on the second team…it's not an unusual role for him…norm is here to win…not for accolades…the contract will take care of itself….it's NOT rocket science….
Bam, Powell, & Wiggins had all season to be great. They failed. Herro was out Ware was getting 7 minutes. Who gives AF about what they do with Bam, Powell, & Wiggs. The X-Factor is Herro & Ware
You need to ask and see if norm can be more like a pella when it comes to defense which is more about effort than anything.
Bigger question is who finishes, you have to have your best offensive players at the end of games
Norm played as an all star for 30 games and Tyler plays well for 5 games and people think Tyler’s better?!?! 🤣 Morons…
Norman Powell takes the role of Duncan Robinson
Herro is the Franchise Player ! 🎉
You guys think Tyler is SGA or Luka 😂😂😂 that’s why this is even a conversation! What has Tyler done for this franchise significantly? SMH.
Powell should come off the bench for now playoffs start it should be based on matchups
Norm needs to swallow his ego and come off the bench, like he has been his whole career, if Spo doesn't plan on Starting Herro at the 1. Herro Start, that was the plan since pre-season. Herro is the offense maker, and has the vision, adaptability, and gravity.
Where are the Herro haters? They seem to be absent..
Norm has carried this team all damn season being available and being tht guy! Spo messed chemistry up throwing Tyler in the lineup of what was established bc at tht point Tyler was a few games in the recency bias is crazy to even consider making Norm come off bench
They both start. Herro Powell Wig Bam and Ware
What's the big mystery. Start your best 5 and sub in defense as necessary? This new age basketball is overcomplicated. Davion and Larson would be bench players for the majority of the league. This is not difficult.
Bam, Wigs, Norm, Herro, Mitchell. That’s it.
Can't close with both Herro and Norm. That's a "BBQ chicken backcourt".
❤️
Just trade one of them
powell, at the beginning of the season, stated that he would be fine coming off the bench.
This ain’t a tough decision. Send Powell to the pine
To me this is bam and Tyler’s team therefore he shouldn’t come off the bench
I think they should do whatever it takes to keep the defense as good as possible. Let Herro and Bam drive the offense. Powell comes off the bench and I would keep him at 25 min per game
What it should be: Herro Powell Wiggins Bam Ware
Spo's Reality: Davion Herro Powell Wiggins Bam
"Norman Powell is the best scorer the Heat have had since Lebron" – David 😭😭😭
Why are you guy’s making this such a big deal play them together and pickup your defense and when things start to stagger bring in your defense and remove who is the liability we paid him to come and ball and he has been doing that Taylor been back for a week and been balling now you guy’s want to throw away who has been balling all season. Typical Miami fans SMH quick to throw away what’s been working for 90% of the season.
Start both and put Norm on the wing position replacing Pelle who can come from the bench… Norm must make the adjustment and improve more on defense and Herro must do play making…🙂
The way I see it keep keep Herro in the starting lineup and have Powell coming off the bench and see how that works
LETS GO HEAT. What I see is two good players that have diverse style of playing and that fit perfectly to our new style, if time correctly. That's the key.
Norm off the bench to rehab for now. There is no disadvantage, if they are in Miami Heat shape, all should be able to come in and do the job at hand, went needed. LETS GO TEAM!
Ware, Bam, Wigs, Powell, and Herro (hypothesis).
They didn’t say this when Tyler was coming back
The team is actually working better together because Norm isn’t there. He’s not a great playmaker and he plays pretty selfish. He’s come off the bench his entire career so he’s not too good to come off the bench. He should put on his grown man pants on be a team player and whatever helps the team is what he should do.
Norm is not team player wont get the the bigs involved. Tyler does. Tyler Bam great Chemistry. Bam Norm not. I sense jealousy with Norm towards Bam
Norman comes off the bench. Dont mess up the starting line up. Its working sooo well. Like David said this start line up is defence heavy . Why change it for Norm. Park his ego come off bench
