Miami Heat · 4 notes
we'll see where it eventually goes, but it makes sense... to have one of those guys on the floor... as often as you can.
Miami hasn't settled on staggering Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo. Erik Spoelstra wouldn't commit: "we'll see where it eventually goes, but it makes sense... to have one of those guys on the floor... as often as you can." He also wants to maximize their time together.
Now it was a technical, but Spo said he'll pay it. And do technicals really count in preseason?
Bam Adebayo says Erik Spoelstra keeping him and Giannis Antetokounmpo apart was probably a test: "we're still trying to figure this thing out. So I know it's not absolute." If the Heat starters get longer stints in the last three preseason games, he expects "more one-on-one."
"Now it was a technical, but Spo said he'll pay it. And do technicals really count in preseason?" Bam Adebayo on Myron Gardner, whose energy sparked the Heat's fourth quarter. Erik Spoelstra is covering the fine, and Adebayo said the team sometimes has to calm Gardner down.
I've played with the Bucks, what, 900+ games. I've played with the Heat 2 games.
Giannis Antetokounmpo says he's "not there yet" in Miami: "I've played with the Bucks, what, 900+ games. I've played with the Heat 2 games." The Heat's pace is faster than he's used to, and he and Bam Adebayo are still sorting out who brings the ball up.
