Add another team to the possible sellers list. With Morant out for the season, Memphis is done.
Santi Aldama seems nice. 7ft, 34% 3pt shooter. But we need a pg tho
It’s too bad there’s not a college football championship on every time the Heat play. It was a very pleasant thread this evening 😂😂😂
I’m rooting for Michigan for 3 reasons:
Mad. Dog. Mandich.
Loved that guy!
Meecheagen!
We were lucky to have listened to that guy. And to see him play for those great Dolphins teams.
u miss me rc. i had the dolphin blues and big mich fan
Yeah, you’re right. 😆
Very good win against a good ,upcoming ,young team, that’s top 5 in D.
Yay! Solid win!
First of 4 at home. 4-0 still in play 😉
Clutch herro back
Call it over. Good win. The Rockets are better. Ty made the shots in crunch time.
That’s the Herro we need
Crap call
Very clutch of you herro.
Big bucket and one by Ty
The Herro arrives
That’s exactly what I want to see herro do!! Absolutely clutch shot!
Duncan leading the team with 7 assists
Need to make a few more, tightening up.
Play D here
This is a critical point right here with the game on the line.
Anyone remember when some people said Spo never plays rookies? Now, Jaquez with the most minutes on the team.
Jaquez is special, even herro, and bam wasn’t getting all these minutes as a rookie.
Very very true. And he is definitely special
#Receipts
Fair criticism of Duncan by Crotty. No, hfl, he’s not getting fired for saying it.
I’m not the least bit concerned about Jovic’s shooting. I know he’s a good shooter and those shots will start falling. I’m happy to see improved defense along with his solid passing and rebounding.
A penalty situation. No Crotty, a penalty. No need to add extra unnecessary words.
Bam bam dominant 2nd half
Duncan cooking
Great story
Hopefully he keeps it going
Jrich Bully ball
Jaquez 3
I missed it. Who got hurt?
Lowry
Lowry, but came back to the bench. Some left hand injury
Love has been playing very well lately
Some great plays by Niko!
Injuries suck
Yet another injury, wow.
Gotta shoot better from the ft line tho
Jovic got 7 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 blocks already.
Great defensive play by Lowry
Need to make those free throws
Jrich balling !
I definitely wanted to see a better game by Herro tonight. He was awful last game.
He playing a good game so far, pretty efficient.
With Butler out, he needs to help lead by example each game. Don’t need to score 30+, just be efficient.
I agree, hopefully he continues this good start.
Herro playing very good so far
Point forward Jaime to LOCKSMITH 3
Dunc in the post and 1
Jrich playing well so far.
Locksmith with good d as always
Jovic giving some great minutes.
Nice to get Highsmith back
Ty with two great plays!
Great Jovic pass!
Bam with two quick fouls.
Let’s go Heat!
