Q: Tyler Herro showed that when healthy he is big time. I would hate to see him traded.\u00a0 The Heat should build the team around Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro and Kel\u2019el Ware. I can\u2019t see the Heat giving up Herro and Ware plus multiple draft choices for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Giannis is great, but the Heat would have nothing left to complement Giannis with his huge salary. \u2013 Joel, Plantation.<\/p>\n
A: Actually, the Heat would have enough even if Tyler Herro and Kel\u2019el Ware were dealt in a package plus picks for Giannis Antetokounmpo, still able to field a lineup of Giannis, Bam Adebayo, Andrew Wiggins (if he opts in), Norman Powell (if re-signed) and Davion Mitchell. And with a bench that still likely would include either Jaime Jaquez Jr. or Pelle Larsson and Kasparas Jakucionis. But to your first point, we should not allow Tuesday night\u2019s finish in Charlotte<\/a> to overshadow what Tyler accomplished at the end of overtime, scoring six points in the final 23.5 seconds of the extra period. If the Heat had held on, if LaMelo Ball had not scored at the end<\/a>, Tyler\u2019s sequence would have gone down as one of the most dramatic in the franchise\u2019s 38 seasons.<\/p>\n Q: Ira, not a big fan of Jaime Jaquez\u2019s shot selection in Charlotte, but the man had eight assists in the postseason game, with only one turnover. A nice way to end it. \u2013 Samson.<\/p>\n A: Again, if this had been victory instead of defeat, the postgame perspective would have been of Tyler Herro\u2019s heroics, Davion Mitchell\u2019s 28 points, Andrew Wiggins\u2019 solid play and Kel\u2019el Ware\u2019s five blocked shots and 19 rebounds. But it wasn\u2019t a victory. And at this time of year, that\u2019s what matters most. If Davion scores on that final drive, it\u2019s a completely different narrative.<\/p>\n Q: So the referees come back after halftime and know they blew it on the LaMelo Ball-Bam Adebayo play. So how about a makeup call on Davion Mitchell\u2019s final drive? \u2013 Anthony.<\/p>\n A: Considering the Heat got that three-shot foul call on Tyler Herro\u2019s late shot, and considering there was no foul call on the previous overtime play when Pelle Larsson came up with his steal, not sure you can complain about the game\u2019s whistle. But it would have been interesting if crew chief Zach Zarba (one of the best in the game) would have been asked if, after viewing the play on video at halftime, whether it would have met the standard for a flagrant foul. If so, it would have been free throws for the Heat, possession and the Hornets would not have scored 5-on-4 on that ensuing possession. In a one-point overtime game, that could very much have mattered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Q: Tyler Herro showed that when healthy he is big time.
