2024 Preseason Game Thread 3: Hawks at heat

[RedDawg#8]

Did Hunter make the trip?

CC likely out for the rest of the preseason. Right ankle soreness

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Trae and JJ  ( +16 )

Bufkin  ( -12 )

 

No Zacch, Dre, or Bogi . . so where is the offense going to come from with Trae and JJ not in the game?

Looks like Roddy might be the guy.  He's the only shot creator off the bounce.

I haven't seen him on the bench so probably not

He's gonna be streaky because he's overly dependent on his jumpshot in the half court but he's an elite transition player and he when he's hot, he's tough to deal with

I think youre right about him being a third option, he needs a lot of time before he can create for himself or others, his handles way too loose

[Wretch]

I just want to note that the HEAT announcers just gave us an update on Clint Capela's absence...and that he'll not be returning to the game.

Once again . . Hawks should've found a way to keep Bruno.

 

Good shot Mo G.

[NBASupes]

My boy Mo looking good tonight. Guarding Bam well 

Roddy is tough

And finish strong

Roddy with a strong finish.

And he's only 6-4?

His thickness ( pause ) makes him look bigger.

Underrated move of the summer, David Roddy for EJ Liddell

Hawks are strangling the Heat on defense. Even with struggle offense they extend the lead.

Is it... are the Hawks 'hitting first' rn?

Somebody explain what I'm seeing?

And BigBodiRoddi is growing on me.

Really bizarre game.  Refs even calling the heat hipcheck screen fouls.

He probably doesn't crack the rotation if Bogi and Dre are playing . . . but Quin needs to consider keeping him on the main roster.

 

JJ is red MF hot.

Roddi has a guaranteed contract
