It’s easy to blame the return of Tyler Herro for the Heat’s recent struggles. But the numbers say the Heat is actually winning the minutes that Herro is on the court

  1. If we don’t shoot well we aint winning. It’s not Herro’s fault but we’ve been shooting real fucking bad since he’s back in. I don’t give a fuck how they fix it, just fix it.

  4. “During this 1-5 stretch, the Heat’s reserves have combined to be outscored by an ugly 14.6 points per 100 possessions for the second worst such mark in the league during this span — ahead of only the 3-19 Washington Wizards.

    This is very different from the Heat’s hot start to the season, when Miami’s bench looked like one of the best units in the league. The Heat’s reserves, led by the resurgence of Jaime Jaquez Jr., combined to outscore opponents by 4.3 points per 100 possessions during the team’s 14-7 start to the season.”

    We don’t have the elite superstar talent at the top of the roster to make up for the second worst bench in the league. It’s been obvious watching lately that the bench is getting killed and the numbers say the same

  6. Herro makes the team better obviously but him being back does change things.

    Powell and Herro together isn’t great defensively. With mitchell at PG one of those two are at SF so it’s a small lineup since Spo doesn’t want Ware into the game with Bam. And no true 4 makes it even harder.

    Mitchell-Herro-Powell-Wiggins-Bam is just a very small lineup

  7. This is a complete logical error from the author of what was being suggested about Tyler’s return effecting other players. Him playing well and being successful on the court has nothing to do with what was being said about the team as a whole with Tyler back.

  9. The explanation of why we’re losing games is quite simple: we’re a 6-8 seed, in all reality, and we got into a hot streak. Simple as that.

    I’m not a fan of Herro and think we should trade him, but also, this stretch was bound to happen with or without him

  12. Love weak analysis.

    Over last 10xgames

    Heat +3.6 with Herro

    Heat +2.3 without Herro

    Compare to Davion

    Heat +12.3 with Davion

    Heat -8.9 without Davion

  13. That whole team had a training camp together that didn’t include Tyler of course it will take time for them to make it mesh if yall would stop being front runner and cheer on the team that playing way better then that terrible product we been getting fo the last 3 years yall wouldn’t be this upset but no yall on can be happy if the team is winning so that blinds you to all other context

  14. Our bench isn’t scoring like we were in the beginning. Fonceticco (might have spelled that wrong) has vanished and Jaime isn’t scoring as much.

  15. There fg percentage is down a lot that doesn’t help. Can’t win if you don’t make buckets

  16. Stats could say anything. If you look at how the team plays over the last 2 weeks compared to a month ago you would see. The eye says it all. Stats only work for certain stuff. Statistics don’t say everything especially about basketball. Tyler Herro stops the ball, doesn’t play defense, doesn’t pass the ball. We were working in transition becasue Mitchell would push the ball. Jaime jaquez would score on cuts to the rim on the transitions. That’s all gone now once Herro brings up the ball

  17. Lamelo ball is statistically a high volume scorer. 20ppg, however people don’t see it’s shooting 25 percent

  18. Pre Herro:

    ORtg: 123.15

    DRtg: 111.96

    Net Rating: +11.19

    Top 5 Offensive Efficiency

    Post Herro (Only games he’s played):

    ORTg: 113.18

    DRtg: 112.98

    Offensive Efficeincy: Middle

    Do with that what you will.

    I’m not saying Herro hasn’t been efficient, but the math suggests his return has removed from the teams previous efficiency.

    Or it’s because they’re just missing wide open shots. Rep related? Practice related? Bad chinese food? Who knows.

  19. It’s mostly a vibes argument. The vibes were immaculate prior to his return, and now they are not.

  20. “the Heat outscored the Magic by 8.1 points per 100 possessions in Herro’s minutes and was outscored by the Magic by 50 points per 100 possessions in the 14 minutes he was on the bench”
