HT "Heat" 43 "Bullets" 41

Erik is quietly limiting D-Bo. He has kept him in the starting unit but tonight Duncan has the fewest minutes, 12, of the starters. Max Strus has the same number and Tyler Herro has 14'. Erik is also clearly limiting Duncan's shots, tonight he has only 4, made 2 of them, too, but Spo knows you can't have a one-dimensional starter missing his only dimension. Both playing and shooting limitations are good moves. If Spo benched Duncan, it could kill his ability to recover his confidence and his shot.
