Amidst the admittedly crappy news about Bojan and Monte, what would I be excited about seeing against the Heat?
-
Cade domination - would love to see a 25+ point, 6+ assist game from him. we almost certainly will need it (this is probably 1,2,and 3 in importance)
-
Ausar slowing down Jimmy. What a first test for the rookie who almost certainly will be starting in order to guard Jimmy.
-
Stew feasting against Caleb Martin. If this dude is going to start in order to “go big” Caleb Martin with Kevin Love as a backup should be pretty easy pickings for a big 4. If he can’t do that I will continue to question why his offensive deficiencies aren’t keeping him out of the starting lineup
-
Ivey being efficient - his speed should be able to cook Lowry, Herro, Robinson and even Richardson, but the Heat are always a great defensive team. Can Ivey use his opportunity, wherever it may be, to wreak havoc on a bunch of defenders who can’t get close to him athletically?
There are many more things to focus on, but I’m not realistically expecting a win here. Seeing some of the above would make me happy. What do you all think?
