The pace and Defense broke down in the 4th. Spo should have played Cain over Swider but that is just hindsight. His defense and energy would have been more helpful that Swider, even if he made his shots.

Just bring up Jamal Cain, the heat have enough ball handlers in J. Rich, Lowry, Herro, Martin and Butler. Even Duncan is showing he can run the offense.

The heat are finally getting the Umich version of Duncan, now spo has to find a way to maintain that when Herro comes back. I hope he bench Lowry and start Herro with Duncan.

The issue is not HERRO!! It is the defense. 1st they were winning with Herro 2nd. Switching Highsmith for love improved their defense. 3rd. Unleashing Duncan has added size to the starting back court. Spo has to really consider benching Lowery and starting Herro and Duncan now, given Duncan improved Defense.

Shane Battier was the first but if you want to keep Crowder then make Locksmith Mega Charizard :)

This is because he does nothing exceptionally well, similar to Butler. He is good at many things but nothing significantly above NBA avg. For example, He is very good athlete but not great by NBA standards (he is extremely athletic by normal standards). He is good shooter but not greater. He is a good defender than can hold his own but not someone who is on Bam’s level. Super stars typically has something that stands out, Steph is his shooting, Joker his passing for his size, Giannis his athletic ability for his size and the same for Lebron and Zion.

I am happy to say i was wrong, I still like Jackson-Davis but JJJ is our most NBA ready rookie since Wade. I am not saying that he is Wade or has the potential to be but Wade and jjj are the only heat rookies that had the ability to affect the offensively and defensively. Herro could always score but is still getting better defensively. Justise and Richardson were good defensively but need time offensively.

Herro, Bam and even Duncan has won games for heat in the NBA finals. So I am not sure what you are talking about. Both Dame and Beal are scorers who don’t defend. Miami already has that in Herro that has avg 20pts a game for multiple years now. The way the heat like the play with ball movement, does not fit Beal and Dame’s style of play. That is especially true with Butler who is the closer already!!

Why blow up a team that just made it to the finals and has been to the finals 2/4 years?

I thought Bosh was going to remind everyone of why he is one of the greatest PF of all time after the big 3 broke up.
