dude....

absolutely

I love this product the Heat..and well Skyforce are now putting out...this is great stuff

I love watching the young guys develop.

I know jimmy, and Bam can go iso when needed...but it great to see the offense shift up a gear and bury teams in movement and passing.

Keep recruiting Bam!

Jaime Jaquez truly is Jaime buckets. We truly got a young mexican yimmy.

Now all that is left is Nikola Kukoc Jovic to get back from the Skyforce to run some nasty point forward.

weeks from now, or maybe months...we will look back and say eh... Duncan only went for 7 points that game...down game... I hope we remember Duncan stayed in for the 4th qtr and kept dishing the ball back to this infusion of fresh legs that buried the Cavs and ended the game +32.

Dude could have kept the ball more and maybe stat padded to persevere his numbers behind his badge as a Vet...kudos to Duncan for keeping that machine rolling.

I love the new and improved Herro...but there was a lesson on display tonight on the value of keeping that ball moving...hope Herro was paying attention.

Been trying to figure out his comparable. Seems like a throwback star player from like the 80’s lol. He’s wider and more powerful then Ginobili. To me he’s more comparable to Jimmy.

Not a perfect comparison.

But both have high IQ's, have well rounded games, come off the bench, and have roots in Spanish speaking cultures : )

Duncan's motion, ball control, and passing were top notch tonight. He really opened things up for the Heat. He has been a revelation.

Duncan has a +32 Box Plus/Minus to lead the team. Not an off night at all. Just didn't take the shots. I'm surprised he only had 3 assists though.

Only one team in the East with a better record than the Heat right now.

If that's an off night, then I shiver at what an "on" night would be.

Herro and Jovic coming in as reinforcements. League in big big trouble

They will literally have to start resting guys just so others can play.

The thing with Jaquez is not just his skill level and fundamentals, which are high, but he’s strong too. Doesn’t get hunted defensively which is crazy for a rook.

Really think we found a key piece here.

His defnsive stats have to be good. Im off to check.

Post #137 » by **DayofMourning** » Thu Nov 23, 2023 4:09 am

Jaquez's defensive rating ranked first of 109 Division I wing forwards. He has quick hands and can hold his own against bigger, more athletic forwards

Saw this referenced when I was googling JJJ.

When you start thinking of a post Jimmy world (hopefully a few years away yet), a lineup of:

Herro
Jaquez
Jovic
Highsmith
Adebayo

Has the potential to be pretty nasty

the kid really does play in the flow of the game and rarely makes bonehead mistakes which is crazy and its like he is only taking shots he know he will make or he will keep the ball moving and looks for better positioning. after a summer of trade talks im pleased with the product we got. im imagining a monster playoff lineup of Caleb jjj jimmy highsmith and bam to shut down teams and give us a balanced offense

JJJ certainly has been impressive but overall off the ball movement has been excellent for JJJ, Duncan then Caleb. The rest of the team need to work on that. I hope Spo and starters see they can turn up early get a huge lead and their stats and the bench can finish out the second 1/2.

of note JJJ looked to be getting some superstar calls and Duncan has been getting to the line which Tyler could learn from.
