The NBA Coach of the Year voting results have been released, and the Heat's Eric Spoolstra trailed Suns coach Monty Williams (award winner) and Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins in the award voting, which also put Spooster in 3rd place:
Although Spolstra did not win the Coach of the Year, the Heat already had Taylor Hiero, who was elected Sixth Man of the Year, and Adebayo's Fourth place in the Defensive Player of the Year award.
On the other hand, after returning and playing in his first two games for the Heat, Kyle Lowry was once again on the team's questionable injury list:
Although Kyle Lowry has not performed well in the past two games, it remains to be seen how the Heat's absence will affect the Heat in the 76ers series.
Finally, heat shooter Duncan Robinson hasn't been able to play any of the last few games, and given the heat's outside scoring woes they've faced in the past two games against the 76ers, Duncan Robinson seems like the ideal person to solve this problem.
In this regard, Duncan Robinson's agency "reminded" the Heat not to forget that there is such a shooter in the team:
"Exactly 19 months ago today, Duncan Robinson scored 26 points in the 2020 Finals, including seven three-pointers."
Robinson scored 68 starts in 79 games in 2021-22, and Chang Jianjun scored 10.9 points, and it remains to be seen whether the Heat coaching staff will try to use Robinson.
