Miami Heat scrimmage showcases team’s new look
Miami Heat scrimmage showcases team’s new look
Sep 7, 2024 9:38 PM

The Dolphins couldn’t lose Sunday.

Neither could the Hurricanes.

And of course, neither could the Heat.

They were playing themselves, after all, for the Red, White and Pink Scrimmage to benefit breast cancer research.

Naturally, not much defense was played. But the energy was different — as in better — than it’s been the past couple of seasons. This team feels fresh.

Here’s the best from the day….

Starting in red: Bam, DR, Butler, Waiters, Justise

Starting in white: Leonard, Dragic, Herro, Nunn, DJJ

Herro pullup 3.

Good.

No James Johnson. No Kelly Olynyk.

And the Heat are still legit 10 deep.

Dragic off the backboard to Derrick Jones for slam.

The teams will switch up, but a few observations off early pairings..

— Herro has no fear of these guys

— Nunn can handle and space

— The fans' love affair with Butler has already started

— Goran is moving fine

The adorable child behind me at the Heat scrimmage…

"Mommy, the Miami Dolphins are in timeout?"

— Five Reasons Sports Network (@5ReasonsSports) October 6, 2019

Some of the players have switched sides.

No Dragic and Winslow together… yet.

Winslow looks extremely comfortable handling.

A lot of quick, aggressive 3's today… from Nunn, Leonard, Herro, Robinson.

This team may not lack shooting as some suspected.

Erik Spoelstra says he liked how the players approached the scrimmage.

"The guys are really competitive."

Said he's still looking at combinations.

"I haven't fully decided" what he's going to for lineups in preseason games.
