This exemplifies why he was too often inflexible and obnoxious. If Spoelstra (and Beilein) only knew what he was doing.

Loved what Stephen A had to say on ESPN today about Duncan and Tyler! Duncan is a 3 point specialist, one of the best in the league and creates all kinds of problems for teams. If you don’t guard him, he will kill you…Tyler is a baller…they can beat the Lakers!
Jordan Poole…finding his role?

Right? I would certainly assume Miami will find a lot of minutes for both going forward.
Even then, it’s more of an choice between every player besides Butler and Bam. Like if Duncan was a plus defender he’d absolutely be part of the closing 5 and Herro would be coming in for Crowder or Dragic instead.
Someone is off to a good start tonight…

So you people cursed Duncan both here and at mgoblog, eh? Matt D was having a yo-yo night, but came up smiling. 
And clearly we can’t either

I do feel like I jinxed him but to be clear, it’s not because I “can’t let it go” but because I enjoy celebrating a program alum performing at a high level deep into the NBA playoffs!

Exactly!
I mean, if he’s “only a shooter,” so what? That’s all John Paxson and Steve Kerr were for the Bulls; that worked out pretty well. A team like the Lakers would love to have Duncan.

Duncan out here in the closing lineup that’s about to win the ECF. Amazing.

Trivia: who is the last Michigan alum to be a legit starter (not due to injury) in the NBA finals?
Jalen Rose?
The answer should be Chris Webber (unless I’m forgetting someone). Freaking refs.

I believe Rose in the 2000 season is correct.
I think both Jalen Rose AND Glen Rice started that season.

Juwan protege Bam Adebayo looked great tonight. They need to get Juwan one of those virtual seats for a Finals game.

I’ve lived in Tallahassee for almost 20 years without really connecting with a FL pro team, but I think I have finally found one.
