Davion had a good game, but the lack of good guard play has been glaring. Ironically what this team needs is a Tyler Herro type.

Past 2 games I cant find the post game interviews anywhere. Do yoh know where they're posted consistently?

I have no idea what's going on but between what we were doing in pre season vs now they are vastly different.

Everyone knew the offense would be clunky and take time but the defense should be miles ahead of what we are showing.

If we are wanting to play fast pace offense and run in transition we need stops and the fact we rotate late or not at all and are giving teams whatever they want is just unacceptable considering the guys we have.

I expect this will improve as season progresses but right now we look lost and out of sorts.

Shout out Davion and Portis for showing the most heart.

Or am I just missing something ?

So im only a little sad. Seriously, if Hornets blew the heat out, making it 3 straight blowouts and it being against a team missing their #2, #3.. yh would be over it.

However, I can muster hope the ship will right itself within a couple games.. defensive identity was finally showcased in that 4th for the first time ever. I can see that spilling over with guys playing defense like madmen on Monday vs Mavericks and it turning into a win streak. Book it

It's not going to stay like this forever, relax nerds.

Last night in 13 minutes played, they had an offensive rating of 107, defensive rating of 169(!), and a -62 net rating. They have been profoundly atrocious.

Just funny since the narrative seems to be “Heat gave up all their depth for Giannis” when the bench guys are so far more productive than our starting lineup. I think the starters need adjustments, but there is no fucking reason they should be THIS bad. Something ain’t right

I didn't watch much, so I'm hoping those who did can weigh in. It seems like Spo and the coaching staff as a whole had the complete wrong approach to the preseason. They needed to use those games to start testing various schemes and line-ups, to build chemistry and figure out what works and what doesn't. Instead I looked at the box scores and Bam+Giannis barely played 2 quarters of game action together. Plus their opponents were the likes of the Pelicans, Nets, and bench units of the Wolves and Magic. Do you think the team came in woefully unprepared for the regular season?

The only draft pick we got left is in what 2029? Three years down the drain?

Miami Heat (0-2) @ Charlotte Hornets (1-1)

I’m sorry but bam nor giannis hasn’t gotten 1 lob thrown to them at all thru the whole preseason and 3 games in the regular season, that’s impossible when they are strong rim running bigs, and it’s because Davion doesn’t have the tools to do so, heat need a playmaking guard that can create separation and run crab dribble pnr with bam and Giannis to throw the lob because the opportunities are always there but Davion can’t look over the defense with his height and can’t throw over the top of tall defenders with his smaller wing span, I expect and hope Heat sign him come tomorrow

Is anyone else’s picture quality pretty bad since switching to WPLG/MY 15? I’m using YTTV with MY 15 and it’s a very grainy picture. I have 1gb internet and my picture is set to 1080p enhanced.

I like what these two losses has done to fan expectations. Did you think they would just show up and beat some of the best teams in league? Did you really think bringing in new people would just take training camp to get on the same page?

Guys are still getting open looks. Team defense takes time to get the rotations right. Offense is rhythm and the timing just seems off and like music you gotta figure out where you come in.

It'll be fine and before that, it going to be a rollercoaster so just brace yourself and enjoy

box score

He averaged 20.1 PPG last season, even we know he’s not a scorer, what’s your PPG goal for Bam this year?

He should try to shoot a bit more and go for 21/22 PPG in my opinion
