The Miami Heat have made a lineup shift, pairing Duncan Robinson with Tyler Herro in an effort to boost their stagnant offense. Coach Erik Spoelstra believes that the constant movement and shooting abilities of Robinson and Herro can confuse defenses and unlock the team’s potential. While both players struggled with their shots in a recent game, Spoelstra believes that the key is the volume of 3-point attempts and having multiple shooters on the team.
Spoelstra also highlighted the importance of other players like Alec Burks and Kevin Love, who can also heat up from beyond the arc. The coach emphasized the symbiotic relationship between shooters and players like Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. Herro, who has made at least one 3-pointer in 47 consecutive games, is proving to be a valuable asset in the lineup.
The switch to have Robinson start alongside Herro has created a comfort zone and constant motion on the court. Both players are embracing their roles and enjoying playing off each other. The lineup change has shown promise, particularly with the defensive components surrounding Robinson and Herro in the starting lineup. The team is hopeful that this new duo will continue to improve the team’s offensive performance as they face the Dallas Mavericks in their next game on Sunday.
