Game 63: Miami Heat (35-26) vs. Dallas Mavericks (34-28)

[KillerLeft]

To be fair Luka was very bad to start the game. Offensively he looked disinterested and a lot of step back 3’s he didn’t make. Even worse defensively. It’s not like the bad start was because of Gafford.

I’m aware you don’t like traditional centers but this front office seems to disagree having spent a FRP to get Gafford for size and rebounding. And a FRP on Lively.

It’s not about traditional or nontraditional, it’s about good player or not a good player. I actually don’t consider Gafford to be a traditional center, now that you bring it up.  Athletically, he should be able to hang just fine in the modern game. I suspect his deficiencies or more about what is between his ears, but it’s still early here for him.
