I really can’t believe Miami took the first two games on road.. So my question are they better off without Tyler Hero? Because so far it seems like they are…

Coach…..design new offensive plays instead of depending on the individual talents of ur players, hear them when they ask for challenges instead of saving ur time outs, u cant sell ’em coach. Lots of turn overs on ur play to go to the paint area then look for shooters outside, very old play & predictable. Put in a tall, agile player on Butler but dont bite on his fakes. Horeford, good as he is, should drive to the basket more.
