Q: Ira, if Bam Adebayo misses time I don’t really feel as snug as final season when Omer Yurtseven got here in and lifted the Heat with all his double-doubles. I might really feel higher if Big Yurt was again. – William.
A: So would the Heat. But that apparently just isn’t taking place any time quickly. Omer Yurtseven once more is strolling with out his scooter, however he is also carrying an expansive brace that goes from his foot to knee. So it doesn’t seem he’s bouncing again from his November ankle surgical procedure within the quick run. And whereas Orlando Robinson has been environment friendly, nobody is guarding him outdoors of the paint, and it’s not as if the Heat are operating offense by means of him as they do with Bam Adebayo. But Dewayne Dedmon additionally hardly has been a solution this season. For now, the hope is Bam’s hand and thigh accidents aren’t long-term considerations. But within the interim, anticipate the Heat to attempt loads of small ball. Although I’m undecided how that performs out with the Thursday and Saturday video games in opposition to Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks.
Q: The league is simply merely not respecting this staff. Pretty certain if that was Luka Doncic or Jayson Tatum, they’d get the decision. But it was simply Jimmy Butler. – Vergel.
A: But Jimmy Butler mentioned he didn’t suppose he was fouled on the end Sunday night time. Ultimately, we’ll go together with what the league says when the officiating report is issued Monday. Not that it makes any distinction at this level.
Q: For as a lot as I needed the Heat to win, this was an entertaining sport, with high-level play. – M.O.
A: That it was. Even in defeat, it was one of many Heat’s finest efforts of the season. Of course, it could have helped to have Bam Adebayo on the finish. But the Nets may say the identical factor about Kevin Durant.
