SOUND ON
Tyler Herro was being blitzed in his first PRESEASON game?
Correct
After kicking things off with a turnover (due to the surprise factor), he quickly showcased the counters that he’s been working on all off-season

Five Degrees of Heat from Tuesday night’s preseason loss to the Timberwolves: sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-h…
1. Heat roll out their big thing.
2. A brief Tyler Herro scare.
3. Second unit an eclectic mix.
4. A warning for the bench.
5. Playing it slow with Oladipo. – 8:29 AM
@BradyHawk305
I asked Bam Adebayo last night about his 3 point shooting
Pull-ups? Spot-ups? Both?

A little nugget on Victor Wembanyama, the French phenom: he’s currently coached by French national team coach Vincent Collett. You think a 7-5 rim runner who drains 3s, playing along side Rudy Gobert, at the Paris Olympics may cause problems? – 8:04 AM

Minnesota is shooting 51.6% (33-64) from the field. – 9:25 PM
@Tsaltas46
Bam Adebayo is the first Heat’s preseason game
22 points / 9-17 FG / 1-1 3P / 6 rebounds / 2 assists / 2 steals
Great effort. Really good sign he took the shot from deep (and made it). He can play his best basketball this season. #HeatCulture – 9:25 PM

@Tsaltas46
That was a good sequence by Bam Adebayo. In 35 seconds he…
-stole a ball
-scored a 3-point shot
-secured a rebound
-dunk over the Timberwolves defense
He’s versatility on both ends is ridiculous. #HEATCulture – 9:22 PM

Yes I know the starters are out for Minnesota

@ChristopherHine
Jaden McDaniels shaken up after that last sequence guarding Tyler Herro. Herro was also shaken up and was on the floor afterward. McDaniels was a little gimpy as he went back to the bench. – 9:05 PM
@wcgoldberg
Tyler Herro went down and was clearly in pain, but walked off and goes to the Heat bench. Seen smiling a little at the end of this video. Looked to have banged knees, but probably OK. pic.twitter.com/4tELTLBxKf – 9:05 PM
@Anthony_Chiang
Tyler Herro down holding his right knee, but limps off without needing much help. He looks to be shaking it off after an apparent knee-to-knee collision with Jaden McDaniels. – 9:04 PM
@IraHeatBeat
Herro with knee to knee contact and is helped off court, but appears to be moving well. – 9:04 PM
@IraHeatBeat
Tyler Herro opens second half for Heat at point guard, and looks quite comfortable in the role. Lowry’s night seeming over after 16:18 of action. – 9:02 PM
@BradyHawk305
No Kyle Lowry to start second half
Tyler Herro pull-up three to kick things off – 8:59 PM
@Anthony_Chiang
Heat starters to open the second half: Strus, Martin, Herro, Yurtseven, Adebayo.
Looks like Lowry is done for the night. – 8:59 PM
@WorldWideWob
takeaway from the 20 min they played together is Jalen’s mere presence makes RJ’s life so much easier. doesnt have to take on the most difficult defensive assignment AND run the offense AND get his own shot every time anymore. only one of those. addition by subtraction. progress? – 8:55 PM

Halftime in Miami, the @Minnesota Timberwolves lead the Heat 64-52 after outscoring Miami in the second quarter 38-28.
Edwards and Nowell pace the Wolves with 14 points apiece. – 8:47 PM
@Anthony_Chiang
Halftime: Timberwolves 64, Heat 52. Bam Adebayo with 13 points on 5-of-11 shooting from the field and four rebounds. Tyler Herro with 12 points on 4-of-8 shooting from the field, three rebounds and three assists. – 8:44 PM
@wcgoldberg
Bam to Yurtseven in the corner for a 3 right before the half. Probably the most promising part of the first half for the Heat. That and Herro getting to the rim and Bam making 5 of 11 shots. – 8:44 PM

Yurtseven with the corner 3
Like I said, quick trigger
Caleb Martin definitely shaken up in obvious discomfort going into the half
Now that’s something that’ll be tough to look past – 8:44 PM
@IraHeatBeat
Bam Adebayo 11 attempts, none of them threes. Only starter without an attempt. Heat down 64-52 to Wolves at half. – 8:43 PM
@wcgoldberg
Tyler Herro has had three nice takes to the basket, including that one where he stayed on his line and finished through contact. – 8:35 PM

Bam Adebayo already up to nine shot attempts in 11 minutes. – 8:34 PM

Forbes seems like, should he play, he might make sense to play rotation minutes when Gobert is on the floor. (Defense not great, Gobert can help clean up but can shoot, space the floor).
Thoughts? – 8:26 PM

Tyler showing off the finishing, and some good defensive possessions – 8:04 PM
@Anthony_Chiang
Some rust being shown by the Heat. Already five turnovers in the first nine minutes. – 8:03 PM
@wcgoldberg
First 6:36 of the Bam-Yurt frontcourt: Miami trails 17-13, tied MIN with 7 rebounds, Bam and Yurt combine for 4 points on 2 of 7 shooting.
Sooooo not great. But it’s also preseason and now is the time to work through things. – 7:59 PM
@Anthony_Chiang
Heat’s big lineup outscored 16-13 in first 6:36. Strus now enters the game for Yurtseven. – 7:58 PM
@wcgoldberg
Bam Adebayo has attempted four shots in the first six minutes. No 3s, but several long 2s. Not popping out to 3-point range as willingly as he did in last night’s informal scrimmage. – 7:55 PM

So were this the regular season, LeBron James would have seen his all time record of 1096 straight games scoring 10+ pts come to an end as he scored 4 in 16 min in a loss to SAC. He shot 0-7 FG. Only 1x, in his 3rd season. has he ever played a game in which he did not have a FG – 3:00 AM
