He was coming off the bench for a bit following a bout with covid (I believe). Seems to have reset things for him because he has been on fire the last 8 games (apparently) and is back where he belongs in the starting lineup. The Heat havent been fully healthy all year but if they get some luck on that front they could be a serious title contender.

Can he give what ever he had to his fellow Michigan players so they can start hitting 3s with such consistency too?
The game vs Northwestern was too close for comfort! What a nail-biter of a win.

we were 8 out of 12 last night from beyond the arc. similar high numbers the game before. we're doing okay with our 3's, at least for now.

Well, shooting the lights out the last 3 games. Your point stands, but why did you pick 8 lol? 
January 27th, 2022 at 11:04 AM ^
Well it seems he's 100% from inside the arc in that span...

Good for him.

As an admittedly casual NBA observer, I've been waiting for these box score lines to re-emerge for him. Haven't actually watched any Heat games this year though ... curious if any Miami fans on here have a view on the story behind what seemed like a relatively quieter first half of the season.

I'm not much of a miami fan but I do watch most of their games because of Duncan. There's nothing obvious as to why he struggled so bad the first 2.5 months of the season. Last season I think the team's struggle as a whole could be attributed to them (and the Lakers) having the such a short off season. It was only a few weeks. My best bet would be a mental thing. He started off in a slump right after signing a huge contract. He's had slumps before and always shot his way out of them. This one was different. He could have been in his own head about becoming a guy on a horrible contract that only does one thing well and not even being able to provide that one thing.
Earlier in the season I read about how the NBA changing balls might have been affecting some players. Shooting was down pretty bad I think across the league. I haven't heard if that's been confirmed by any players.

Also Max Strus was heating up and providing more pressure on Duncan to shoot better. Hopefully he can get back to business to making his threes...

Appreciate the helpful replies.
I had no idea that Max Strus even existed, let alone his contribution to the Heat. Interesting ... seems like maybe Miami has uncovered another Duncan.
Pretty intriguing comparison:
