Duncan is a 6'7 JJ Redick. Don't underrate that.
I agree about Dragic's age, and I was mostly joking. I just remember that there were some rumblings about Jrue to Miami earlier in the year (January ish, I think) and I was thinking what would they maybe consider for that. Obviously Butler, Bam, and Herro are off the table.
Could do the S&T with Olynyk instead and then have them add a pick but iirc Miami has no picks atm.
Basketball.
Just as a side note, isn't Dragic's resurgence this year weird? He looked... well, not washed but certainly not great the last two years and then now he comes roaring back.
Weird.
Earlier this summer I said both Olynyk and Dragic (in that order) should be targeted during free agency. I thought Olynyk might be a nice bridge until JAX is ready. Now I'm hedging a little, as Olynyk has looked awful in the bubble. But, I'm still drawn to Dragic and what he could bring to the team (Rubio on steroids).
Duncan Robinson 44.6% from 3 on 8.6 per game this year, and was 93% from the FT line. He shot off the catch, on pullups, off movement, off screens, even when contested hard; he relocated and passed well in an auxiliary role, but was limited on defense and had only very basic creation abilities.
If that's not a Redick year, idk what is lol
Robinson is a correspondent on JJ Reddick’s “Old Man and the Three” Podcast. He is great to listen to, and very informative. He has talked about how his shot mechanic have changed since entering the league (and how he gets his shot off so quickly), to just putting up shots (not making them, but just getting them off), to following JJ in getting an arm sleeve because he thinks it will give him street cred with fellow players. I don’t see him leaving Miami unless they trade him.
As I said before, unless it’s broke, why fix it? If the Heat are reincarnating the Billups/Wallace Brothers Pistons, and winning without a Super Star, why change it? If you have buyin from everyone, why bring in an element who might not buy in? Dragić might be old, and he is in a contract year, but Miami can re-up him, and they know him better than any other team.
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
Robinson shoots way more 3s than 2s because that is literally what he is asked to do.
Read anything that Spoelstra or the other Heat players have said about practices or Robinson's breakout. They want him shooting, from 3, as much as humanly possible. In practice, they have him shooting 3s more than anything else. That's literally what he's there to do.
You can't blame him for shooting a boatload of threes and prioritising it over the 2 when his coach and teammates are literally asking him to do exactly that.
It’s true. Robinson discusses that in the podcast. He doesn’t shoot 3s because he is afraid to cross the arch, he is told to take those shots.
I would like to see how the Heat would have gone if this wasn't for a bubble environment.
They were a pretty poor road team.
This bubble suits them well.
The 'self-absorbed' baby cries on every play
Everybody freak out, AD is "hurt"
Jamal Murray has been incredible this entire playoff run
Monte Morris is shooting 65/60/85 against the Lakers which is pretty cool
Lakers resorting to the ''just blatantly foul Jamal Murray every three seconds'' tactic and refs just letting it run.
On one hand, it's not too surprising. Lakers, Lebron, finals, narrative.
On the other hand, it does put Denver down 3-1, which as we've seen in the last two series, is exactly where they want to be.
It can be done, there have been underdog team champions before, but you have to overcome so much. Definitely makes it harder, for sure.
On the plus side, Lebron looks gassed and it doesn't matter how much he complains when they get to the finals and Jimmy Butler decides to eat his soul, Bam puts the hurt on AD, and Spoelstra coaches circles around Vogel.
jamal murray is a baller...makes we wonder if we made a mistake picking Hield over him
