CALLED IT!! Nobody listened to me, did they?! Screenshot my post from last week, thank you very much!!!

Heat Small-Ball Lineup: Pros and Cons
The Miami Heat small-ball lineup has always been one of the most fascinating experiments in the league. Ditching the traditional center brings more mobility and three-point spacing โ clear advantages in movement speed and defensive coverage.
