Landry Fields Underrated? A Heat player thinks so...

“He said it just means he will have to chase around Steve Novak and Landry Fields.

‘It’s not easier, I’ll tell you that,” Haslem said. “You think that because Amar’e is not playing, you have the night off. You really don’t have the night off.’

Haslem expects a busier night having to account for Novak and Fields in the paint and on the perimeter. Novak is the league’s top 3-point shooter while Fields creates matchup problems because of his quickness.

‘Like I said, Novak is hunting down shots and he’s knocking them down at a high pace right now,” Haslem said. “Landry Fields is probably one of the best cutters in the league. I put him up there with guys like [Bulls forward] Luol Deng or [Celtics guard] Avery Bradley. Those are guys that people just kind of forget about and those guys are always making plays to the basket and getting easy buckets.’”
