Last night was the eighth straight with the Rozier-Robinson-Butler-Jovic-Adebayo starting lineup. It is the most-used starting group all season. It was not employed until this eight-game stretch. Spoelstra has settled on it, at least until Herro gets back. The "Heat" are 3-5 with that lineup, at this portentous time. "This five-man combination was outscored by 6.6 points per 100 possessions in 89 minutes together during the first seven games of this stretch. ...[and] closed Wednesday’s loss with a negative plus/minus of minus three in 13 minutes together." 

Somebody can make a liar out of me but I do not recall Spoelstra ever playing a starter so few minutes, so consistently, as he does Jovic. Last night was typical, 16', seventh-high. Still, he was +1! Tied with Patty Mills (14', 2 pts) for team best.
