Answer: Agree with both of those sentiments. Take, for example, Wednesday night when the Heat were playing in Dallas. Yes, you can start both Bam Adebayo and Klay Ware against Anthony Davis and Cooper Flagg, but does that give you a better defensive matchup than having Bam on Davis and Andrew Wiggins on Flagg? The Heat are at the point where they are playing to win games.

For the most part, other than Tyler Herro’s absence from ankle surgery, the Heat have rarely had to go without many rotation components.
Q: Should the Heat take Anthony Davis home? – Ted.
