I looked at Dru’s 3 game totals. He has shot 9-28, 1-6 on 3p, with 11 turnovers, 13 assists, and 13 fouls. Not only do I think he’s definitely not an answer at pg right now, but I think the Heat would be better served on their 2 way contracts by adding Swider, another player (maybe Champagnie), with Cain getting a regular contract. Of course, the Heat still need to make a trade to get a pg, or make room for one (Nunn?).
Bucks have a rookie coach that just fired his veteran assistant. Celtics got rid of their three toughest players and replaced them with a soft center and a guard that Butler roasted in the playoffs. And the Sixers are even more dysfunctional than usual, which is more dysfunctional than usual.
I am more confident than last year that the Heat are going to win the East (again)
We do need a back up PG. Deep down in my spirits, I feel there is that unknown player someplace. Finding him is the big mystery. By the way, what happened to Dragic? He can still give us some quality 10 to 12 minutes.
Nothing new actually. We have really deep team, but no point guards except Lowry. JRich seems ok last night in that role, but I don't see him survive in the real game 20 minutes at that position.
Jimmy is out for "conditioning". I wonder if this is related to the "dental procedure" that kept him out of the last game. If he misses the next preseason game with "fatigue", I think we should start to worry
Highsmith was very good, so was Cain. Both should be on team. Not sure about O Robinson. But Bryant will be a good backup. Not sure about Richardson either. Before he got hurt, looked limited. May need to find someoe else at PG. Not sure about Jovic either. Swider has nice shot, may develop, but will take time. Champaigne can really drive, he also could develop, again will take time though. Not sure about D Smith either.

In other news. Couldn't happen to a nicer asshole.

Is it just me or does Highsmith look like (a future version of) PJ Tucker 2.0?
Another fun game.
Champagnie stood out this time.
Jovic is rusty.

If I had to rank Miami's top 10 rotation players, they would be: Butler, Bam, Herro, Martin, Bryant, Highsmith, Cain, Love, Jaquez, Lowry
Next 5: Richardson, ORobinson, Jovic, DRobinson, Smith,
Two-ways: Swider, Champagnie, Hampton
Top trade candidates (possibly along with a draft pick), if a quality PG becomes available:
Jovic, Lowry, DRobinson, ORobinson, Martin
* Duncan, Jovic and a pick for Brogdon works for me.
Apart from Bam, it seems this game was meant to look at the depth of Heat's bench.
Heat have another good prospect in Champagnie

Cain really has a knack for rebounds
Bam, Cain, Highsmith, Bryant all looked good first half.
Bam/Duncan connections are always fun
dru smith got nice size for pg looks good
JRich, Highsmith, Cain, Bam, Jimmy, Caleb, Orlando Robinson - thats a lot of guys who can defend and hit threes
that blonde behind spo very sweet.more of her
So is there any case Love should start over Highsmith? I can't see it
dont see how dunc makes this team
haywood cain hope they both get 20-30 minutes
Let’s go Heat!!
