Of all our options I would give victor homedepot this start.When that dude is playing under control on offense he gives us some decent to very good playmaking there.On defence he can be a huge game changer as we have all witnessed .If Duncan gets hot he can help on offense but how many points will he cause.love our heaters.
feel soooo bad for Ty. no one can replace the kid. RCs right. but someone else, two or three, could step up. they need to. we dnt no yet if Giannis will play so thats a factor and even if he does might not be 100% at least for game 2. so lots of in-game adjustments for Spo and co. as for my me on who i want to see on that position...can we get Simons from the Blazers? just for this playoffs? but seriously for me its a toss up bet Caleb and Dipo. we'll see. and id be surprise if Heat replicate its game 1 showing. fingers cross. all of them
I echo Daniel the writer's sentiments about Victor.
We were patient with this guy's rehabilitation from injury for a couple of years. Footed the bill in hopes of him rewarding the organization by regaining some old Dipo form.
He's seemingly fully healed, healthy and ready to go and displayed great form in the last two games. Of the season
And now we have cold feet when the obvious choice should be VO?
While I believe that Oladipo should get mins in Herro's absence, I don't necessarily believe that he should start.
I think I would probably go with Caleb Martin in Herro's place for the simple fact that I would want Jimmy and Bam to be on the floor with 3 shooters at all times.
I would prefer to bring Dipo off the bench along with Lowry, Love and a bit of Duncan Robinson thrown in depending on who the Bucks have on the floor.
I would put the ball in Dipo's hands and encourage him to be aggressive going to the basket. Love's presence at the back-up 5 position should help create driving lanes for him.
Zeller has been great as back-up C when his number has been called upon but playing Love at the back-up C spot pulls the Buck's bigs out of the paint or forces them to play a defensive scheme they're not used to playing like a zone.
I want only 2 of Jimmy, Bam and Dipo to share the floor together so that they can be surrounded by 3 shooters at all times.
Have Jimmy, Bam and Dipo in constant attack mode while the rest of the players provide the necessary spacing.
The Heat won't beat the Bucks with just Jimmy as a scorer and a sometimes aggressive Bam.
If they're going to have any shot at winning this series in Herro's absence they're going to need someone else to come through.
So give Vic a shot and let the chips fall where they may.
What's the worst that can happen, that they lose a series that they were massive underdogs in in the first place?
I like the Olidipo choice, but I also like Love starting and getting minutes for Zeller. I strongly believe that his size and aggressiveness would help against the Bucks. It’d also give us more size in the starting lineup. Possible win-win.
Oladipo is the logical choice. He just needs to cut down the unforced errors. His defense, rebounding, shooting (which is improving) and ball handling (when he keeps it under control) are sorely needed. I wish him the best of luck and look forward to seeing him play up to his potential. GO HEAT!
bruh victor should be in the starting lineup today
lets go heat there gonna be winning the series 2-0 today
butler better carry today
Knowing Spo it will be Robinson. Not a bad choice in my opinion.

I think the best replacement for herro is Highsmith in the 1st unit and oladipo in the 2nd unit..that's the best combo replacement...

That's Spo for you.
