we shot better than the bucks in 3s, and even in pts in the paint. We lost cos we missed quite a number of free throws (14/21), which is a bit of surprise since we are top 3 in the league in ft percentage
The Heat played fast tonight and very efficiently. Richardson is playing some of the best basketball I’ve ever seen him play. Jaquez is looking great and looks like he can eventually slide into the pg spot and at 6’6”, that would give him an advantage over most pg in the league. Martin is clearly over his knee issues, for now. Lowry has really stepped up (so much for waiving him). Bam is having an all nba year. We could have used more from Duncan tonight, and Love is really not a starter. But if we can build on what they showed tonight, anything is possible.
I understand everyone is proud as we fought hard, played a great team evenly till the end. But, with the age of some of our players, this is likely to happen all season. That is why it is imperative we get more help to support the very good team we have. Also, it works to help us in that if we have more players to help carry the load, we won’t be as dependent on just a few players. And, players won’t wear down and need as much load management. Now that the season has progressed, we know what we have more. We know that Jimmy, Bam, Kyle, Jamie, Duncan, Ty, Caleb and JRich are all good to great players that can contribute a lot. But, the problem is, that’s just eight. When they are all there, we can play with anyone. But, so often at least one is out. The rest of our team is marginal, possibly ORob could emerge, but we don’t know that yet. But, it is a certainty that we need more.
I agree and still believe a trade would help. I’d also add Highsmith to that group as a good, not great player.
Maybe on HH, maybe not. He has disappeared a few times and had a couple reasonably positive games. His defense has been good, but he has to hit the occasional three to really contribute, which he does every once in a while. Let’s hope he keeps getting better but the jury is still out on whether he adds enough on the offensive side.
the heat have enough 30.u said that last week.u flip flop alot about the heat.w/o jim ty they went toe to toe with a healthy bucks team.they have the best depth theyve had since the big 3.only problem is when u walk onto the ct vs milw they have the two best players
Last week, before we lost those two stinkers against the Knicks and Nets, I wrote that an important measure was going to be if we could be competitive against the best teams. Tonight, despite being shorthanded, they played a heck of a game. Does it help in the win loss column? No. But it shows we’re moving in the right direction. For those that don’t understand the concept, too bad.
again sir w/o cursing at u that is loser talk we know we have a good team.were in the finals or ecf like every butler year.chill out my man u have a very foul mouth hope u dont yell at your wife like that
It’s loser talk to you, obviously not to everybody. I’m looking for progress on this team and that’s what we got tonight.
You need not concern yourself with my family. I regret my outburst, but I don’t appreciate you suggesting I or my team are losers.
Some fans just want Ws. Even being the 8th seed and still going to the finals but falling short, its a losing season for them. Sad every fan base have those.
Yes, that’s true. I suppose it’s a reality check for Reality Czech 😀. I shall endeavor to be better at deflecting the negativity.
I am proud of this team. This loss is nothing compared to that Knick’s loss. Am I the only one who thinks that Miami does not get its fair share of calls.
Refs missed a ton of calls, even ones in front of their face. Even Shaq and Reggie was calling them out.
moving screen on bam only bad call i can recollect
if middleton gets back to his all star level there the fav in the east.
Going toe to toe with Milw w/out Butler. Hope we see them in playoffs. Good game sucks we lost but we’re just equals with these so-called top east contender
Without herro too, next time we will beat them and that trash D. Giannis ft shooting was an anomaly.
Trash heat *** my parlay.
Be a better gambler
You dumb for even making the bet with all our injuries.
So this cultural revolution didn’t work out for you, I guess.
good effort do we get a half a win for that
Win or lose..Miami heat played there heart out. I loved the effort, all It took for bucks to win was hot shooting from 3, questionable calls from the refs, and Giannis hitting 8 of 11 from ft.
Tough loss. Offense was on fire most of the night. Couple plays that stand out, that might have changed it – Bam’s missed dunk, where the ball slipped and Duncan’s oop to Bam, that he just couldn’t quite reach. Bam played amazing, but I think he makes those type of plays nearly all the time.
Also free throws. Miami has been on fire from the line – and struggled a bit tonight., missing 7.
Hopefully we get a game here soon with Jimmy and Bam (and who knows maybe Herro will be back soon too).
Yes those missed opportunities from bam was uncharacteristic, and probably could of changed the outcome, but he played amazing regardless.
Missed 7 free throws, lost by 7.
Ran out of steam. Damn. Great effort but this sucks
Great effort but it hurts. Bucks have so many scorers.
All we was missing was 2 more of our scorers .
ball game good effort yeah right that means alot lol
Looked like Lillard stepped on the line
josh that was stupid
Leave it to the refs to ruin the game
Apparently Bucks can travel all game
These refs suck bruh 😒
does giannis ever have a bad game
I know we want this win, but outstanding effort by the good guys
loser talk
Go fuck yourself asshole
tough guy behind keyboard
You too
Get that outta here! 😤
GOOOO HEAT!!!!!
greek cheapshoted josh
Gotta get that rebound smh
This miami heat game of the year 🔥
lowrys got the clutch gene
Lowry I love yah
Clutch shot.
We need it without jimmy
Martin has looked a bit more comfortable in this game. Maybe getting into a better rhythm now that he’s healthy.
Yes bam
Reggie, the game is intense because these teams don’t like each other not because of the tourney
Put Caleb in, he immediately gets a clutch bucket and a clutch steal.
Let’s Go Caleb
Martin spincycle
Martin!
Filthy
Putting the scores at the top of the screen as if it’s important. So damn stupid
Absolutely!
thought there was something wrong with my tv
I’m so glad I was wrong about drafting Jaquez. He’s been fun to watch.
I’m glad to be wrong too, I’ll gladly eat some crow
Jaquez is one bad mother-shut yo mouth!
Don’t like the energy right now
Robinson took Giannis off the dribble lmao
Duncan Herro has been an interesting turn of events this season. He’s showing passing and to a lesser extent ball handling I don’t think any of us expected
Yes he has, even Reggie Miller told him he needs to get better, just a testament to his work ethic.
It really looks like the Heat are grooming Jaquez for pg
And I like the idea
He has the vision and pace for it .
Beasley shoots lights out
They must have this deaf football commercial on spam, feel like I seen it 100 times sheesh.
Damn this game is straight May day
