Miami Heat vs San Antonio Spurs: Game Notes and Quotes
By Wes Goldberg
“He Does That In Practice”
The Heat have what we call a good problem. Josh Richardson is surpassing expectations. The dude can flat out play, and seven minutes a game (6:31 tonight) isn’t going to be enough time.
Spoelstra will need to figure out a way to get him on the court more.
Fellow rookie Winslow played 24 minutes, but it doesn’t make much sense to take time away from him either. James Ennis, however, also played 6-and-a-half minutes. Give those minutes to Richardson, and now he’s playing 12-13 minutes per game. That’s a better way to get the most out of the second-round pick.
Unfortunately, that also spells the end of Ennis. In related news, Greg Whittington played 18 minutes tonight.
