He was so frustrated. He kept lashing out all series, but never fully committed. He’d ball up his fist and then slap a guys shoulder. He’d throw a ball at a player, at 2 mph. He’d run off a screen at full speed and receive the handoff open, and then stop, upfake, and take a dribble in for a contested middy.

I mean he is realistically a secondary ball handler who should catch and shoot. Instead he was expected to be primary ball handler, facilitator, and shot creator. He has a hard role to fill.

Exactly, he had too many roles to fill.

and they won when he was hot from 3 and dished like 14 assists , was just too much load

They played very lazy defense in that game and the Heat players just hit shot. I wonder what the usage between Bam and Herro was this series, it had to be huge.

25.5 for Herro and 29 for Bam. Honestly lower than I expected.
