“Bohf, he will come back to the Finals.” After Tyler Herro’s injury in Game 1 of the first round once morest the Bucks, these few words were an easy joke to make fun of a Heat at the end of a very average season. It’s true that an 8 seed coming out of the play-in and coming to scratch his place in the NBA Finals following clearing the two best records in the League never happens, well… it HAS never happened. Today, the Heat is in the Final and the latest news therefore reports a possible return of Tyler Herro in game 3. We laugh less huh?
From his injury, and a little more recently too, a possible return of Tyler in the event of participation in the Finals was anticipated, discussed, imagined. At the time, the idea was either to have a timeline to find out more regarding the seriousness of the injury, or to have a good laugh regarding the possible presence of Erik Spoelstra and his men in the Finals. Yeah, the Heat are coming out of one of their worst regular seasons in years, and you have to do without one of your only regulars this season? Lol.
Except here it is, Jimmy Butler has just smashed the predictions to pieces, once once more, and the only one laughing today has an Italian mobster smile and is called Patrick James Riley.
Long obscure, the horizon of the return of Tyler Herro during the NBA Finals is therefore greatly clarified on this Tuesday morning. Chris Haynes from Bleacher Report even tells us that a return from TH14 is clearly in the pipeline and that the player would have a date in mind: June 7, for Game 3. Spo would therefore start his Finals without his back, and might count on him from the third round, on the occasion of the return of the series to Miami. This is good news for defending your fortress.
Good news, really?
Tyler Herro is an elite striker, and Vice City might not even have made it out of their regular season if the 23-year-old full-back hadn’t been there. Yes, but today anything that might break the Heat’s momentum in these playoffs is a potential danger. Tyler Herro or not. The problem to solve now is the following, is this danger worth it? The points of view diverge, here are different ways of approaching the thing:
- “Wow! But if Miami is in the Finals without Tyler, imagine what it’s like if you add a guy who has 20 automatic points every night. Herro needs to play, and not just a little!”
- “Impossible to integrate a guy without rhythm in the middle of the Finals. You risk breaking the team dynamic without being sure that Tyler is at his level.
- “The return of Tyler Herro? It’s just a bonus. You put him off the bench, he’s good, he has minutes, he’s not good, he stays on the side. You are never safe from having a ‘Tyler Herro game’, and faced with an attack like Denver’s, you can’t say no to such a scorer.
- “Uh and his defense are we talking regarding it? Do you want a Bruce Brown who runs at 25 pawns per game on the series?
Given the recent success of the Heat, complicated to consider the first option. But given the lethal potential of a Tyler Herro in heat, it’s hard to imagine Erik Spoelstra going completely without an available Herro. In the event of a difficult start to the series, the kid might even be an absolute game changer in these Finals. In short, we don’t know if Tyler will play, but we can’t wait and so does he.
