Heat (10-23) at Celtics (19-14) Game #34 12/30/16

We have a nice young core with smart and jb.  I'm fine for trading IT

Trade the guy averaging 27 PPG.. real "Smart".

Who takes over the scoring for us? Rozier?

lol enquiry minds want to know.

Your [dang] right!  5 players make a team not one.  That's our problem!

I'm not disagreeing with you, but championship teams have great benches, solid players, but also some KEY pieces.

Smart and JB no doubt are those guys as well.. but IT is easily our best scorer.

What's IT going to net you in a trade? Westbrook? Lilliard? Don't think so.

And trading IT for a draft pick literally shows people we aren't improving. Horford didn't sign here to see IT get traded for a draft pick.

I have the feeling IT is going to go off this half and end up with 35-40 points tonight.

Jaylen needs more minutes.  Enough of the multiple games where he is getting 6, 4, 8, 9 minutes.  He needs to be getting a steady diet of 18-22 minutes a night.  That isn't going to ruin our team, and it is going to get him ready faster for the end of the year and whatever playoff run we can muster.  Unless we are showcasing someone else for a trade, I don't get BS playing Brown so little.

Amen Brother!

I really don't like Smart playing with IT.  Smart can help out def a bit with IT's size, but he isn't a good enough shooter to capitalize for open looks when IT goes to the lane.  We saw in the Clev. game how Smart should be used, he should play the point, and get to the lane.  When we go away from Smart's strengths he just isn't effective.

Yep. There's no point in having Smart in the starting lineup if you're not going to utilize him as the main ballhandler. Bradley provides better shooting, which works better off of IT.

I want to see them running IT off of screens off the ball and having Smart in the PnR or posting up, yet Brad just simply refuses to do this. IT works well off the ball, and he can always iso towards the end of the clock if need be, even if he's not the main ballhandler.

horford not moving too well.

[jpotter33]

NO WAY! You're telling me a Smart/Horford Pick and Pop worked?! Get out of here, Brad! 

[walker834]

It's amazing to me some of these guys 26 mil and you have to get them to buy into your system.  Not saying Al is that, he's good and serviceable but for 4 years not much longer.

Tommy on the other hand move it I can't see.

It always seem to work but it's only been called a handful of times...

[jpotter33]

I'd really like to see what percentage of our opponents' points are scored over IT/by IT's man. For all of his offensive magnificence, it's just crazy how many points he gives away defensively.

Marcus zips that ball perfectly to him.

[liam]

Smart continues to be our best big!

[walker834]

There's Big Al.

[liam]

Bring in the energy JJ & JB!
