Miami Heat: 3 Situational Lineup Groups For Coach Spoelstra to Consider
Miami Heat: 3 Situational Groups For Coach Spoelstra to Consider – Size
The Miami Heat can offer certain levels of size and shooting that few teams can offer and in fact, in combination in some situations. Here is how that size might look.
Big Lineup
Though Kyle Lowry will be the starting point guard, there may come a situation where the Miami Heat want to size up, say against a LeBron James and Russell Westbrook lineup or even a lineup featuring James Harden and Kevin Durant.
Heck, when you consider the size that the Milwaukee Bucks can throw at you with their bigs, in combination with Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton, and Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Miami Heat need a big lineup.

Here’s how it would go .
PG–Jimmy Butler
SG–Tyler Herro
SF-Duncan Robinson
PF-Bam Adebayo
C-Dewayne Dedmon
Since Jimmy is the pseudo-backup point guard, he would be just fine running this unit. This unit gives the Miami Heat offense from everyone, go-to scoring from Tyler Herro, high-output shooting from Herro and Robinson, rim runners in Bam and Dedmon, and floor-stretching from your big in Dedmon, if you need it.
Jimmy, Bam, and The Ded-Man also help to provide a solid enough defensive foundation to keep that lineup floating. That’s even with Duncan and Herro along for the ride on that side.
