24 points
3 rebounds
8⁄10 FG, 4⁄6 3PT, 4⁄4 FT
He’s the only ex-Heat role player who didn’t fall off immediately.
Duncan has also been good thankfully
Developed into more than just a 3 point shooter pretty nicely too
In his last season with us he already was a much more complete player than he was before.
He worked a ton on his overall game in the summer after the season where he was getting a ton of DNPs because his defence sucked and he’s a totally different player now
I wonder who Duncan ends up guarding on the Magic.
With the combined power of Tim Duncan and David Robinson he oughta be
He actually got better after leaving
Such a reliable role player. Probably as winning a player as I’ve seen in the NBA in terms of just constantly making the right play, making a shot, and playing with effort. Glad he’s back!
I feel like a remember a few games last seasons playoffs where he wasn’t good at all. Maybe their elim game?
I think you are wrong. Last year against Pacers, everyone on Cavs sucked, but he and Don were the only two players to score more than 20 point in at least 2 of the 5 games against them. So our 2nd most consistent player in the playoffs last year.
Those 2 games were really his only good games vs us tho. Averaged 5.5 pts on 22fg% and 23tpfg% in game 4 and 5 losses. Game 1 was a meh 7pt performance. I guess he was consistent relative to his teammates in that series, but cant generally say he was consistent at all.
Doesn’t mean I’m wrong. He disappeared in the elim game
0/7/2 on 0/0/0 shooting splits
That’s one game. You said few games. That would mean you were wrong.
Just checked the stats. 12.2⁄7.0/3.8 on 38.6% from the field and 34.1% from 3. I wouldn’t call that very effective
Me neither.
He was awful in the final game, though he was one of our best players earlier in the series
He’s a big reason why the Heat went to the finals in 2023
The rare former Heat player who didn’t turn out to be a fraud
Duncan Robinson
What’s ol mackelmore up to these days?
I think you mean Sheen
Totally cooked the Raptors

Strus-Maxing
How did he survive not only the Ex-Heat Roleplayer Fall Off debuff for two seasons but also that weird foot injury that just kept getting longer and longer setbacks until he was out 60 games
Bro played 12 games and then dropped 24 in the first playoff game 😭
He went off vs the Mavs too, 6 - 7 from 3
Pretty sure that was a fractured ankle
He was Strus Maxxing
We have like 3 role players that can do this but I would place my bet on him being the one to do it every time
102? Bro be making shots without attempting
