All Eyes On Me

Too bad we have to waste a challenge on such an obvious call. This crew sucks

Full bench lineup again.. unreal

Let’s gooooo!!!!

Didn’t have Fultz as the first man up on my bingo card. Questioning the decision making m, how I’m wrong

I complain about Foster, but Curtis Blair is the most incompetent ref in the league.

Somebody is gonna have to explain to me how we’re making Jarrett Allen look like prime Hakeem Olajuwon this series. It just doesn’t make any sense

We’re dominating the glass early with this lineup at least. Shots will fall. Just gotta keep executing

Holy **** guys, come the ***** on

Same **** different game on offense so far. Executing, getting wide open looks, can’t make a damn shot

Yep, needed to happen. We need someone to goon with Allen down low. JI at the 5 doesn’t work in this matchup at all

Back to the normal starting 5. Carter starting, Isaac back to 6th man

I don’t think CT had any inside info on the projected starting lineup, just going off of what it’s been the first 2 games. If we don’t switch it up, we deserve to lose.

Looks like we get the Scott Foster crew tonight. Get ready to be frustrated

Line has moved slightly in our favor this morning to -2.5. Surprising, I thought the Vegas money would push it the other direction after the feel of the first couple games. Let’s get it! First home playoff game in Orlando in ages! If any of y’all are going tonight, make sure to make your energy felt!!!

I believe the line is “quit playing games with my heart” :)

I don’t understand how Spo keeps doing this… this Heat team without Butler has no business in the playoffs, let alone beating a 60+ win Celtic team in Boston.

I don’t think I’ve ever given you a downvote and to get one out of me you really really gotta earn it lol.. I agree with you that Mosely either needs to do the Xs and Os better or find someone to hire who can.

If the Suns flame out again with this old core, I wonder if they blow it up. If Booker goes on the block are we interested?

Yeah, it’s probably too risky to start with that lineup, but I’d be happy to see it rolled out at some point during the game to see how it goes. Ugh, is it tomorrow yet? I need to get the taste of the first 2 games out my mouth!

Yeah, definitely get this thought process, but I’d be willing to risk it with the advantage it *should* present on the other side of the ball with Mitchell and Strus trying to guard Paolo and Franz.

I agree with most of your post. I’m not sure if Goga will help because anything he’d bring on defense would hinder the offense even further. I also don’t see any way we bench Cole for a rookie, when he’s hitting shots, he’s too good to bench in our current roster. If we win the game tomorrow it’s because Cole woke up. If we’re hellbent on playing a 10 man rotation then AB should get Fultz’ minutes for sure, but I’d argue we’d be better off just absorbing those minutes into starters and playing a 9 man rotation. I’m also more optimistic than I probably should be since the first 2 games felt so insurmountable, but game 2 quarters 2-4 we won 68-66 and game 1 quarters 2-4 we lost 64-57. As has been the story for the last month, slow starts are KILLING us. We need to throw WCJ back in to start. I’d be ok going big and starting JI and benching GH, but Isaac and his help defense tendencies is really hurting us when he plays the 5.

No surprise. I’m sure he’s sore and that injury looked brutal. I couldn’t believe he came in for the second half. Hopefully he can give it a go, tomorrow night is pretty much a must win

Hard to believe this was only a year ago and it makes me feel better that I’m not crazy for being super excited about Fultz this season… had no idea this kind of regression was coming. Injuries suck.

I’d really really love to beat the hell out of Cleveland on Thursday. The Cavs fans are insufferable, always have been and the trash talk is becoming way too personal toward our guys. Moe and Franz especially, it’s a good thing they’re mild mannered because some of the stuff I’ve seen said to them, I wouldn’t blame them at all for going Artest mode.
