Got Loyalty Got Royalty Inside Our DNA. Official Miami Heat 2017-18 Season Thread #DoItForTheCulture

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

The bolded is what I was saying. If Kyrie played for any other team besides Cleveland then Riley might have been willing to sell most of the farm.

True, but what assets did we really have besides Goran and Hassan? We’ve seen what our rebounding and defense look like when he’s off the floor.

Team captains had a talk with Hassan today. I hope they gave him that work. My biggest issue with Hassan since he’s joined the team is his mental game when things aren’t going his way....

nikka too old to still be dealing with maturity issues

100%
after that shaddow benching a couple years ago and that suspension over the scuffle and a $99 mil contract later nikka shouldve been refined his act by now

This team is a bunch of really good 2nd options

What is this team identity because sometimes I watch and I just don’t no
Are we playing inside side out or outside in
Are we uptempo fast break type team
We jack 3s but all our guys at best are streaky 3s point shooter
Not enough ball movement
Dragic is best playing uptempo but we don’t get out and run enough/get easy baskets
Our defense has been lackluster
We struggle taking care of the ball
We don’t get to the basket enough so we barely go to the line
Dragic disappears after half time
Him & Whiteside just don’t mix or have any real chemistry from the time Dragic has been here

TJ & JRich cannot run an offense yet they are hell bent on trying to make them both into Chalmers type
Richardson with his ability idk why he just sit behind the arc and doesn’t be aggressive going to the basket more and using he size against smaller guys.

because his handle is trash

because his handle is trash

Then what the hell are they doing in practice each and every day then because it shouldn’t be
Shyt you telling me they can’t run a post for him like you see the Warriors sometimes do with
Shaun Livingston. I like JRich but dude settle to much for the 3 and idk if that is by design by Spo to help stretch the floor and that his roll and that it or what.

Jrich turning 25 next year bro. His handle been trash for a long time. Very rarely does someone's handle improve in the NBA, even rarer at his age.

Livingston been posting up smaller dudes his whole career. Not a comparison.

Hassan Whiteside Counseled by Goran Dragic, Other Heat Captains After Benching

Hassan got benched

 

[He Who Posts Well]

Dion Waiters new crib

The home is on a two-acre property, while the structure itself sits at 17,714 square feet. There are three master suites, 10.5 bathrooms, a pool, outdoor kitchen, large office and guest quarters. There’s also a 12-person shower (which is the first time I’ve ever seen that phrase), a driveway that fits 30 cars and according to Opulence Realty’s Marianna Dubinsky, room for a half of a basketball court inside too.

Dion’s new house on Waiters Island is pretty dope

He's super far from work tho

We need an identity. Hassan is not good enough to dominate inside for us or to play dhoward old school orlando ball cause our 3pt shooter are trash. Same thing with the drive and kick game if the shooters arent consistent.

We might need to reinvent the game again and get guys comfortable with mid range shots that way we are close enoug to the rim for offensive boards or put backs for bam and hassan

10.5 bathrooms

10 bathrooms i can shyt all day

He may be robotic and slow at times down low but I feel he can be a dominate presence down low if we had an offense and play makers to get him the ball in the right position.

Has Whiteside even shown off his midrange game as much this season yet beside those 3 I hardly see him taking those 15 footer he would make pretty frequent last season.

With all the stats and analytics saying 3s are better then 2s the game is all types of fukk up now
There is no reason if your not a 3 point shooting team to be jacking 25 plus 3s a game
Take the midrange shot take the 2 point and lock your ass in on defense and stop the other team
Passing up easy 2 points to take contestant 3s a lot of times is stupid.

Whiteside is only averaging 27 minutes which is crazy to me

With all the complaining I see about Winslow minutes he is only playing 5 less minutes then Whiteside at 23 minutes a game.

When Whiteside can play over 30 plus minutes he is a 20 plus 15 plus with ease

I feel u. Whiteside has a better midrange game than post game in my opinion but like u said i think the analytics prevents us from drawing up those plays for him. Jacking up 3 after going 2/10 is retarded but spo doesnt adjust quick enough. JJ and dragic got the best midrange game on our squad and when we get cold we should go to them
