Whiteide been salty about the Heat drafting Bam/signing Kelly for months now because he know that meant fewer minutes for him because those 2 can do a lot more on the court than he can do .

Weren’t you complaing a couple weeks ago that the Heat needed Whiteside on the court cause Bam couldnt rebound?

We are playing more then likely Celts or Raptors who can both play small.

Toronto would be the better matchup for Hassan. I could see him playing 30-35 MPG in that series since Toronto has JV.

Boston also uses Monroe as their backup 5 so either team should lead to good minutes for Hassan in that series.

Now if we play Cleveland, that's a different story

Yep. It is one of the things Hassan clearly do better than both of them

I don't think Spo was happy with Kelly to be honest with you. Kelly almost always play at the end of games but he made some bad plays early in the 4th which helped the Nets increase their lead which I think pissed Spo off a bit.

I agree.
But others made bad plays also.
Wade was terrible, but Tyler was sitting.
Also, the minutes were huge for the Nets players.
Their energy had diminished.
I say no reason to let them dictate how the last 20 minutes of the game will be played.

That's a bit of a conundrum for sure. Obviously, that is a part of his game that he is still working on and trying to develop.

So, that puts Spo in a tough spot. On the one hand, he's not going to develop that part of his game very quickly if they don't play him in those situations.

On the other hand, the Heat are in a playoff race and can't afford to potentially lose games while trying to help him develop his game.

One thing for sure, if I'm the Heat and plan on keeping him, I'd try to bring a former great center like Hakeem, Kareem or someone like that (Mourning?) in the off season to work with him on his post game and shot selection.

Great idea.

Pacers at Clippers

It hard when the talent level between your top 9 players can have is minimal.
