This is Oladipo's chance to shine. He MUST play within the system. This is playoff basketball. Every possession counts. If he can defend, rebound, shoot well and keep his ball handling under control, he can make a difference. Otherwise, I see Duncan, Highsmith or Cain getting the bulk of Herro's minutes. Lowry and Vincent may absorb more minutes, if they are up to it. Now or never for Victor. Do or die!

Cain isn’t post season eligible. It’ll have to be one of the others.

When you lose a scorer who scores more than Van Vleet, Sabonis, Holiday…

When you lose a player who has more rebounds than Murray, Barrett, Holiday….

When you lose a player that has the same number of assists as LaVine and Embiid, and more than Randle…

It’s not a simple thing to replace that player, regardless of who responds to this or disagrees. Its true that losing your third best player will not have the impact of losing Butler or Bam, but it is still a tough loss for the team.

Definitely! Tyler's loss is huge. He's our second most reliable scorer and does a lot of good things.

He's the most easily replaced of the 20 point scorers on the team. It will take more than one guy to replace him. It could be a different guy every game.

What a freak injury too. Broken middle and ring finger...on his shooting hand? It would surely affect his shooting even if he tries to come back early.

No Tyler the rest of the way. Giannis status still unknown. Hope this goes the distance (and an upset). Go Heat!! Game one concern for me was too many games played before playoffs, guess that wasn't an issue with this W. And good thing 2 days off before 2nd game. Bucks fans and practically everyone else who's not a Heat fan still calling it 5-6 games Milw.

I can still edit it after it has long been posted! Nice!
