Q: At this level I believe Malik Allen is forward of Dewayne Dedmon within the Heat’s energy rotation. Why throw the crew below the bus to hold this grudge? – Ray, Deerfield Beach.
Q: How for much longer will Spoelstra maintain his grudge in opposition to Dewayne Dedmon? He was clearly rubbing it in by enjoying Udonis Haslem because the backup middle whereas Dewayne sat. At some level, what’s finest for the crew should trump private grudges. – Joseph, Lauderhill.
Q: I simply watched the Heat-Knicks sport, and though entertaining, what was Udonis Haslem doing within the sport as a substitute of Dewayne Dedmon? Yes, I perceive he was despatched to the nook of the room. But he has top, can shoot the three. – Phil, Delray Beach.
A: Well, we clearly have a theme right here. This is much like when a participant is ejected and, from the stands, you don’t have any sure consciousness of what precisely was stated by the participant. Except for Erik Spoelstra and people inside that internal circle, we do not know how that performed out between participant and coach. But in terms of capability to contribute, Dewayne Dedmon clearly charges forward of Udonis Haslem by the mere truth of how a lot he has performed forward of Udonis Haslem these previous three seasons. It might be fascinating to see the strategy Saturday night time in Milwaukee.
Q: Ira, Orlando Robinson’s damage is an ideal instance of how flawed the roster is. There is not any means an damage to a two-way participant ought to submarine a season. – Ted.
A: First, Orlando Robinson’s thumb fracture doesn’t put the Heat’s season underwater. The best setback in terms of the Heat’s energy rotation was the ankle surgical procedure that has had Omer Yurtseven sidelined for the reason that preseason. If Omer wasn’t injured, it’s probably that Orlando would have remained within the G League. Also extra impactful on the Heat’s total season has been the disappointing play of Dewayne Dedmon, which has been a internet unfavourable. A case may very well be made that going the previous month with out Nikola Jovic additionally has torpedoed the chances of the ability rotation. If the Heat can’t survive the lack of a two-way participant who solely had 10 NBA days remaining on his two-way contract, anyway, then they don’t seem to be anyplace near what we thought they had been.
Q: I want they might simply begin Gabe Vincent already, however the Heat group is just too gradual to shake issues up/too conservative, at all times excited about the gamers’ veteran standing. – Gordo.
A: I disagree, as a result of there can’t be something extra humbling to a championship veteran than to constantly be benched on the shut of shut video games. And this isn’t a 1 and 1A scenario, the place you’ve got a pair of confirmed, big-time level guards, and even gamers with comparable resumes. It’s not like Gabe Vincent is a definitive reply, both.
