Series Thread: 1st Round: Miami Heat vs Indiana Pacers

[TurnUpTheHeat]

to make his comment was a typical argue based on the poster and not the post comment.

I mean, one might agree with everything but cannot see what could be so out of line. Seemed fairly balanced. Certainly better than a Miami fan discussing the shooting of Duncan Robinson vs. Harden.

Is that so?
Was is being discussed in a game thread?
The discussion was why Duncan shoots 10% better, not who is the better player.
Duncan IS the better shooter.

Im not saying shit until it happens, but if the Heat wins the series, be ready to eat alot of shit.

How about Butler?
Any comments to rescind?

If they win the series and Duncan keeps shooting g like garbage will you be ready, too?

Nice win, though. Herro stepped up.

Yes, it is so.

I mean...he really didn't. Not even Butler.

Well, he did say this.

"a back court of Oladipo, Brogdon and McConnell (as long as Oladipo is healthy) is far superior to Herro, Dragic and Robinson. Who could really debate that?"

I'll gladly roll with the Heat 3. All 3 Heat players are better 3 point shooters and that matters.

Fair enough but at this point in career Crowder is a JAG (not sure he's ever been much more) so could see forgetting about him and that he would start if not a avid Heat fan.

Doesn't hurt to do a little research. Jones Jr was never the starter when we had a full roster. Only started when Leonard was out for the most part.

Will I what?

The fear of Duncan, even if he does miss makes it easier for everyone else.
If he's off, plenty of other option.
The Heat are versatile. They can mix and match quality players as well as any team in the league.


My point was, Wiggy said COUNTLESS times that the Heat would be a low seed and lose in the first round.

Didn't catch the "far" part of that so I agree with you. Not sure Miami 3 are better, but saying the Indiana 3 are far superior and no one would say otherwise is extreme.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Guy dealt for Doncic..I doubt many give it much thought.

He could have had Dragic for NOTHING. Big mistake for multiple reasons.

What does one have to do with the other?

Are they a better team with Dragic? Especially in playoffs? 100% YES.

One could make a case for either 3. Agree.

Like I said, I'll roll with the Heat 3. Herro is the real deal. Dragic is MONEY.

 

[dtgold88]

Maybe he should have looked, but does not seem to be a glaring mistake (as Crowder is a JAG at best). And most of the rest was solid analysis. ....Indiana guard trio "far better" than Miami does seem extreme, though.

Cannot say I even recall him turning down a deal for Dragic but if he could have had him for nothing then he made a mistake...as would any team as I cannot imagine they only offered him to Dallas for nothing, did they?

I dont recall exact, but it was when we were dumping salary for Butler.
Ended up dumping Whiteside instead.

I think Cuban wanted Jones Jr.

My guess is Herro the real deal, but might want to wait more than one season to be sure. and Duncan has only had 1 good season as well. Oladipo and Brogdon damn good. McConnell? Meh.

 

[dtgold88]

So who knows if it was a real offer he turned down? Not saying you are lying but cannot find anything that says Mavs turned it down. Only that it looked like a deal that was going down that obviously did not.

No chance Heat chose to deal Whiteside instead?

Name any reason Herro wont get better? He’s what? 19.
He’s improved month to month, and alot since lockdown.

I 100% remember it being said Dragic was traded, then Cuban backed out.
Ill find it.

Maybe he will get better. But maybe if he gets better he's more a focus of the opponent and he cannot adjust.

FYI, not saying he wont be a good, solid player but who knows what his floor and ceiling are at this point?

did a search and didn't find it...but didn't look at more than a few.

This is true

 

[dtgold88]

This is true

Knowing what he had in Doncic, even if true, can you not understand why someone would not want to pay nearly $20 mil for a backup?
