Q: There have been 69 rebounds within the sport in opposition to Cleveland and Bam Adebayo had one. Cody Zeller, who wasn’t even within the league this yr, had eight. Kevin Love had eight. Only two Heat gamers didn’t get a defensive rebound, Bam and Gabe Vincent. Jarett Allen had 12 for Cleveland. – Anderson.
A: I truncated this query a bit, as a result of we get the purpose. But this is also a type of issues the place if the Heat would have made one or two extra photographs, Bam Adebayo’s lone rebound hardly would have been a speaking level. But I do agree that your finest gamers must be at their finest within the largest video games. Some foolish foul bother by Bam saved him from doing that. But should you do select to take such measure then take measure after Friday within the rematch, when it’s now clear that there needs to be extra from Bam. Somehow, this season has discovered a method to carry a few of the worst out of Heat gamers in any respect the flawed instances.
Q: Ira, how does Jimmy Butler go to Los Angeles on Tuesday night time for the Pau Gasol ceremony when he has a sport in Miami on Wednesday night time? – Joel.
A: By personal aircraft. To me, that is like these reviews about gamers being out late the nights earlier than video games (or Michael Jordan, again within the day, {golfing} the day of video games). It makes regardless of so long as the participant can provide a minimum of his typical contribution. Players’ free time is their free time. The Heat’s veterans didn’t have observe Tuesday, in order that left the day open for Jimmy Butler to do as he happy. Overall, it most likely was a safer endeavor than when Chris “Birdman” Andersen a number of years again went alligator looking on his day without work with Udonis Haslem.
Q: Under no circumstances is Cody Zeller a greater participant than Omer Yurtseven, and I’m sick of seeing Miami overvalue guys that wouldn’t even thrive in China. Why are the Heat at all times going for blue-collar gamers, over guys like Omer which have a better ceiling? – Maria, Fort Lauderdale.
A: Because at this second it’s about who’s extra playoff prepared. Cody Zeller brings an expertise ingredient that Omer Yurtseven lacks. Omer assuredly has the upper upside, however in the intervening time there additionally stays a studying curve. Cody is much less more likely to get into the way in which, keen to play solely as a complementary piece, after which get out of the way in which. It definitely was telling when Bam Adebayo and Cody Zeller each have been referred to as for a pair of early fouls Wednesday night time and Erik Spoelstra as a substitute rushed Cody again into the sport.
