On to the next game and goodnight y’all.
I guess this the type of butt whooping we’re supposed to get with 5 players out .
world series time
The snakes or the rangers?
snakes win this game manila
bottom line w/o jimmy this is not even a playoff team
So wrong!
THE SEASON IS OVER!
bam 2 rebounds how do u do that
Bam been terrible with free throws tonight.
anthony edwards did sht and they kicked our butt.
Ouch! Close game to meh
Spo took too long to adjust ,and kept Duncan in too long.
jovic couldnt have played any better .deserved 30 plus minutes
We need a hero! Or anyone?
Well good night everyone. Heat aren’t trying to I’m save some anger and shut off the game. Spo won’t play the kids who we want to see. He isn’t trying to win this game.
terrible use of personnel eric
now hes putting in jjj and jovic jeez game ova spobot
we dont get ez baskets ever
Spo needs to run with the starting unit for the rest of the game.
canes won today
Yes , I seen, I’m glad they won , almost thought they would choke it away. Tvd was terrible throwing the ball too.
yeah he must be hurt hes wearing some sht on his throwing hand
thats about it watch dunc clank all night and jovic looked like luca ok spo please explain no jovic .
No Jimmy and Spo gonna play guys who are getting murdered on the defensive end 30 minutes each. Think we can call it a 1-2 start.
dunc gets murdered every night .ty to his credit looks much better this year
wow bad reverse there dam
the jovic and jjj combo looked good spo
put jovic in for dunc
Good D from herro.
Jovic has to be in the closing line up.
u think spo would do that no shot .i agree with u,hes played great in limited time
He better do it… if he wants to win this game. Jovic has been our best rebounder tonight, I think bam only has 2 rebounds .
tys d has improved for sure
Dru Smith -12, Duncan Robinson -11, Cain -16, Bryant -8.
Maybe don’t play an entire second unit like this is Hockey Spo? Mix and match with the starters.
Spo loves having this ultra small line up from the 2’s and it’s ugly tonight.
lowry all talk
Guessing it’s Jovic’s defense, that has him out of Spo’s standard rotation, because it sure looks like he can fill the stat sheet.
8 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and a steal in 15 minutes. Feels like it’ll be a crime, but I suspect he won’t get any run once Martin, Love and Highsmith are back.
Sad to say…but you’re probably right. We’re too deep , he’ll only get minutes if we’re depleted with injuries, or if we trade away some players.
do u watch dunc play zach.spo has favorites hes comfy with.newbys hard to crack lineup or rotation
That ref dumb he got the call wrong and it happened right in front of him.
JJJ and jovic with back to back 3s !
lowry showing up jovic not good look kyle since u suck
Jovic an animal on the boards
Not known for that, but has done nicely tonight
hes 6 11
Right, but he has NOT BEEN KNOWN TO BE A GOOD REBOUNDER! That was an area he was working on since he got here, but especially this offseason.
Hope he keeps it up because bam only got a couple rebounds I think.
hes good at everything
5 guys down – all starters/rotation players – and they’re playing the Wolves even. Not bad.
That just let’s us know why most of gm’s voted spo the best coach in the league, and we’re more deeper with depth.
big deal all that matters is a w
Bam has definitely improved from last year.
Yep. I was expecting him to struggle vs wolves bigs. Every year his pts total goes up hopefully this yr too
Yes, he usually has trouble with tall, lengthy centers. But you can see that he got better, specifically in the mid post and paint, and added more post moves to his expanding arsenal.
Cain gonna be our much needed third scorer for this game.
Making Naz Reid look like an all star.
Jaquez and Jovic glued to the bench.
saying the same thing here
They need more pt, we made our run when they was on the floor.
A lot of sloppy passes so far, gotta tighten that up.
There goes the lead. Take it back pls end the half good. Go Heat!
Cain playing very impactful.
Cain A-gain
I’m calling it now… herro will be an all star this year.
Cain is….
Terrible flashy pass attempt from dru
dunc d killing us jeez
Time for a derogatory Duncan remark
Yup, I knew it!
Lol then he makes a 3
I know, right? Lol!
Cain is able!
It sucks that we gotta keep refreshing to get more comments.
