Why is our teams biggest weakness that our players don’t know how good they are?

Duncan Robinson should never second guess a shot in his life. His shooting is straight up unfair and all he needs is two buckets to go nuclear.

Bam is injured and doesn’t even seem to be surveying the floor like his normal self but he seems to tense up against centers with length. I wish he would be more decisive with the ball.

Jimmy is damn near a heat legend, IMO. Brother is laying everything on the floor in the finals despite everything.
That was the knock against him on draft night but we still took him. The good outweigh the bad:manny:

:patrice:

I've never heard that as an assessment of anyone on draft night.

That said, he'll figure that out. It's all about developing your skills, being confident in them, and being aggressive.

They kept repeating on draft night "struggles to score against size".

Then again there were some that said he had a decent midrange shot...which we've never seen:francis:

From draft.net

Weaknesses: Needs to improve his post-game moving forward. Also needs to work on finishing moves when he can’t catch and dunk against bigger defenders at the next level. May need time getting used to facing opponents with similar size and ability … Has much room to expand his shooting range but provides a solid foundation. While he shows some ability he has room to improve his midrange and face up game …

Butler closes this out, this team will surpass that '06 team as my all-time favorite.

My favorite Heat team was that 03 team. I would say Zo and Timmy days but they broke my heart so many times as a kid that it hurts to think about.

But 03 was my squad. Up and down. Young and fun. And they had a bunch of players that scored in double figures similar to this one.

For all the good Spo brings, his weaknesses as a coach completely fukked us in finals.

We gifted the Lakers 2 games by playing zone and he refused to put in a stretch big like KO when Bam plays like garbage. Terrible way to lose.

That’s on the players. These players fight to get back on the court, assuring their coach that they’ll play hard. You can’t go out there looking dead in the eyes like Miami has. Nah. You gotta give your coach full assurance.

Lakers defense has been very good. But Bam has been awful these last couple games. Nunn thinks he’s playing in high school with those weak ass layup attempts

If you would have said we’d lose in the Finals in 6 games at the beginning of the year most of us would have taken it as a good year. A disappointing ending to a really good run, no shame in losing I just wish we would have put up a better fight tonight. A lot to look forward to in the near future.
