Man the Nets suck but they have a lot of pieces that will fill our roster out perfectly. Dinwiddie DFS and Royce would be perfect

Jovic hasn't look good any of these preseason games.

I know he only played a few minutes in the other one but even then he didn't look good.

Doesn't look confident at all, like he looked in Fiba, unfortunately there are players who need minutes to get into a groove, he just ins't the type you can just throw out there for 5 minutes and expect immediate seamless results. This would have been a great game to get him in the starting lineup next to Bam, lift his confidence let him get into some sort of rythm. Unfortunately Miami will never be the type of team has the patience for that type of upbringing. Unless he turns into Highsmith, just work on defense, and hit your open 3ptrs in the background and look good in the 5 minutes you get at what ever random moment you get thrown in there your not gonna make it on this team.

He is an overpriced BUM....goes for 3-14 and our team keeps saying how he is such a dangerous shooter, he could go off at any moment, we go 15 games waiting for those moments, that's unacceptable.

But he's diversified his offensive game to be a below average all around player!

Holy ****, the amount of ads I'm dealing with NBA League Pass. Luckily I'm on the trial and just cancelled before I got charged on the 24th, back to streams from websites. Couldn't just get my subscription money, now they get no money from me.

The only improvement for Robinson since his 3point shot has disappeared is he now plays a solid pick and roll game with Bam.

He has a floater now! Why keep putting up those pesky 3pt shots when you can attack the hoop.

Thank god he decided to diversify his offense instead of strengthening his defense.

I mean, he played 7 minutes in game 1 and 6 minutes tonight. Hardly a large sample size.

He seems like a ‘feel’ and rhythm guy. Getting the vibe he isn’t going to get a chance to catch his rhythm here.

Does Miami like Dru Smith because he doesn't do much, basically you know what you're getting with him?

I am sold on Highsmith at PF to start the season. All I know is both Kyle and Love cannot be in the same lineup together. Its obvious Highsmith has put in the work to get that 3pt on point, and his defense is legit. If they decide to put Josh to start next to Herro we could have a legit defensive lineup.

Yes, is the short answer. A known commodity, they have invested in, that problably does rather well in Heat Scrimmages against an old retired ex nba player now assistant coach, but will play like straight dodo in a real nba game against actual talent.

If Highsmith has a legit 3 ball now, he can operate as that 3&D 4 for us.

Sure seems like we will be going with

Richardson / Lowry / Smith / Hampton
Herro / Robinson / Cain
Butler / Martin / Jaquez
Highsmith / Love / Jovic
Adebayo / Bryant / Robinson

Slim possibility of Caleb at the 4 over Love, with Jaque getting burn. Jovic on the outer, sadly.
