DJJ damn near about to pass out on the court. Those guys are done, Spo definitely gotta play a few more guys on these kind of nights
That’s why I want Dion & JJ gone so bad because if there not going to act right and are in the doghouses then they need to go for guys who can play and help the team.

The problem right now we don’t have any other guys to play UD won’t play more then at tops 10 games. KZ been hurt and Macon.

That why Dion is stupid if he just acted right with the injuries he could help on night/situation like this

Riley gotta talk to Spo. We can’t have a 8 man rotation in December

Indeed. Rotation way too short right now
Here's my problem when this and all the other posters in here saying this.

Why now? The small rotation we've been using has worked Thus far. Why are we all the sudden trying to change everything because we lost a couple of games? Most experts expected us to be a 7th seed at best in the East. We've been ranked top 5 in the whole NBA thus far in power rankings and been between 2nd and 4th in the East all year using that same short 8 man rotation you guys wanna throw out the window. So we lose 2 games and we must change what has worked all year within a week?

Understand, I wanna see James Johnson play too. Hell, I wanna see Okpala play. But so far the short rotation has worked and I'm assuming Spo who's always trying to manage players minutes has all this planned out and perhaps wants to reach a certain point in the season before he starts expanding the rotation. Let's just wait and see.

I don't want to see any of those dudes play. I want justise and goran back. I wanted it changed after the Dallas game tbh. These guys look run down and it's only gonna get worse when herro and nunn hit the rookie wall. Heat org is not infallible and we are just pointing out a potential mistake.

It’s not an all of a sudden change. These guys are humans and they get tired. They’re running on E now and they need more of a break. It ain’t hard to notice when a player like DJJ is covered in sweat and breathing hella heavy and still ain’t been subbed out. nikka probably needed an IV after the game

My main concern is playing Jimmy Butler all these minutes.

He loves that shyt but he's also 30 and signed for 4 years. I'd like to get at least 3 solid years out of him. He's in great shape and seems better about taking care of his body than Wade was but I'm still concerned about all the wear and tear on his body. Especially when we know Thibedeaux used to try to run him, Deng and other players into the ground playing them damn near 45 mins per game in CHI.

The rookies are young and can handle high minutes. Kinda want some depth in the front court tho. Bam been playing a lot lately. This why I wanna see JJ on the court more

I think DJJ just sweats a lot. I always notice that by halftime he'd play 10 minutes and his shirt be drenched and hes already untucking it. Just watch him and you'll see what I'm talking about.

The people who's minutes I'm concerned with are Jimmy, Dragiç and Bam. Bustise will be in that list soon too if he's already having back issues. Being someone with back issues all my life I know that's nothing to play with

The Heat didn't start off this season with an eight man rotation. That's before Winslow and Dragic injuries.

We have been consistent with a deep rotation. I agreed that the short rotation is going to negatively impact the Heat. Other players who are capable to contribute needs to play. We are paying JJ too much money to sit on the bench. He can provide some interior scoring. I don't know what's preventing Spo from playing him. It seems strange that he hasn't been reported as injure. His contribution is needed at this moment.

I just want to see this team at full strength

We just have to be patient bro. If Winslow is having back issues I'm not sure I want to rush him back because he's more valuable to us in the playoffs when will need him to lock down opposing wings. DJJ can hold it down on defense for now. I'm actually more worried about Goran.

Spoelstra just needs to play James Johnson
