The Miami Heat looked as though they could do something special this year. For much of the year, the plan seemed to be coming together nicely.
Well, that was when the Miami Heat could get their main guys on the floor together. When you look at three-man lineups from this past season, it tells the whole story.
The leading lineup featuring Kyle Lowry was one that saw him, P.J. Tucker, and Duncan Robinson on the floor together for 857 minutes.
A Lowry, Tucker, and Adebayo lineup was Lowry’s next highest, at 717 minutes.
When you look for the lineup that features the guys that are, essentially, the Miami Heat’s Big 3 of Lowry, Jimmy Butler, and Adebayo, that was Lowry’s fourth highest-ranked lineup, as far as minutes played, which came in at 660 minutes across 34 games played.
To be frank, he didn’t play a ton with the two guys that are the best two players on the team. He still was very effective for Miami though, through it all.
