I hear they are better without Bam and they just prooved that blowing out the Cavs by 33. They also should consider ditching that old Jimmy Buckets dude, he barely scored 10.

Well he is probably the 4th best rookie so far behind Chet (clear cut ROY so far) , Wemby and Ausar. I can even see him being the 2nd best this season after Chet if he can keep this up

If were looking just at production, hes been the 2nd best up to this point.

Chet is clearly number one. What the Thunder are doing is the dream to be honest.

Victor has been so bad offensively, but when youre on a bad team and youre being asked to do too much, then those are the results.

My expectations for Jaime were pretty low. What hes done so far has been a surprise.

The Knicks are a formidable defensive team this season, and playing them at MSG in a IST game adds another layer of difficulty. It will be interesting to see how the Heat's recent momentum holds up against such a tough defense. These kinds of matchups are crucial tests and can be very telling about a team's resilience and adaptability under pressure.
Hope they get the W!

Biggest issue is going to be rebounding. NY is a very good rebounding team with Mitch a top offensive rebounder.

Only problem with Tyler is his best role might be 6th man, but he obviously has aspirations for something more.

Our best 5 when healthy this season has been Tyler, Duncan, Jimmy, Jaime, Bam, but that lineup is small and also lacks a point. Ball movements probably good enough to play those 5 without a point, but Jaime or Jimmy at the 4 can be exploited depending on matchups.

I would like to see that lineup closing games though.

We def could use a mobile true big next to Bam. Not that we have a chance, but Alexander Sarr is pretty much the prototype for that in this draft.

I understand the perspective, but I have a different take. It's true that he may score more efficiently against second units and at the same time elevates our bench, but the key for the Heat is to have their top talents – Jimmy, Bam, and Tyler – learn to synergize and elevate each other's game throughout the season. This trio's chemistry and performance will be critical in determining how far they can go in the playoffs, you want them to play together a lot. While it might make sense to bring Tyler off the bench if he's under a minutes restriction, it's not a good long-term strategy to fully unlocking the potential of this roster.

We need to get Orlando Robinson some run, by maybe moving Bam to PF. At the end of the last game, Spo played both Robinson and Bryant together for a few minutes. I’m hoping he tries that with Bam and Robinson too!

I think Bam's been a forward his whole career. He's been labeled otherwise. Watching him play, and eliminating outside influence....it's clear he's our forward moving.....forward.

Bam/Yurtseven didn't work very well last season, but Adebayo has improved offensively this season. It's worth a shot.

I'm all in on the MSG party.

Let's get this one, DoM!

Doesnt matter. We need to win the Finals AND get the 15th pick. Regular season is just practice.
