its a good thing we have a stockpile of wins, we can take some few losses and still be in the mix lol. Seriously tho, we are getting decimated by injuries.
So this is how it feels to experience b2b losses
its a loss but game means nothing.little concerning all these injuries.gotta stay jealthy
As ud says. Stay healthy so you don’t have to get healthy
On to the next game fellas. Injuries are a killer.
whole team is out what do u expect.
Can’t expect much better. Not much to be happy about. JJJ looked good, and Martin. Maybe Swider showed a little. Lowry did his job. And Love scored inside a little. But, it would be an upset for us to beat the Wizards with this line up. Let’s hope HH isn’t hurt too bad.
HH has a lower back contusion and was walking funny, I think he might be out for a couple games. Hopefully im wrong.
The bright side of this game ,is that jovic will get more pt going forward.
Have to disagree. Granted, he might because of injuries, but he really looks lost out there.
Yes I’m starting to see why he wasn’t getting any pt. He looks like he’s a year away before he is ready.
We got too many injuries đŸ˜ª
This loss would make that knocks loss even more painful
No wonder we lead the league in starting lineup changes.
And now Highsmith
We can’t catch any breaks smh
Locksmith doesn’t look good smh
He probably gonna miss at least a week or 2 .
Idc what anyone says about love, but he’s better then Thomas đŸ¤·
Oh no love looking banged up
Suck it refs
Love is a spark tonight
He’s had a solid game
We definitely need it.
At least Caleb starting to get groove back.
Agree again
One thing for sure is jjj is a future all star
Agree
If we had 2 of either Jimmy, bam,herro, or Robinson, then I think we would win this.
Time for a comeback? Or not
Tough game to watch so far. Team really looks out of sync. And not just because Bam and Butler are out. Game also shows the value of Duncan and Herro. They are missed.
These refs suck!
Cut it down to 10 heading to the 4th
Make that run boys
Go Heat! Please? đŸ˜‚
Look like we funna get smacked the rest of the way.
Orlando better then Thomas in my opinion
Lots of people here in HHH on vacay? Or still cnt get over the bad loss yesterday?
Everyone gotta step up, and Martin gotta play his best game of the season….if we wanna upset the nets. Also cut down the turnovers.
A lot of sloppy passing, and not shooting that well. Cut down on the dumb passes and make more 2pt fg. Then we will have a Decent chance to win.
Tired from ur loss yesterday?
For those people not here tonight, THIS is why Jovic hasn’t been on the court very much.
Jovic seeing action. Show your wares boy.
Hey now, this is a family site! đŸ˜€
Lol
Swiderman!
Let’s go Jovic!
Let’s raise some Cain!
Kyle going for 20+ again?
Or not lol
It seems backup center tonight just might be Jovic. Or at least he should see some minutes.
Just win ok? đŸ˜¬đŸ˜³
The crazy thing is, it seems like these are the games we win, when our line us is severely limited. I have to admit, it seems like it’s impossible to me.
Let’s go Heat!!
Need a bounce back victory!
