Sorry I’m late, I was at the gym, but what an awesome grind it out win. That game was a straight nail biter against a playoff team. Shouts out to Duncan the lead scorer, bam coming in the clutch with the middy, Mr. Lethal footwork Juan wick, LOCKSMITH with the D on Paolo, and his fts. Lastly spo with the clutch time adjustments. FANTASTIC WIN MISSING BUTLER,HERRO,AND Kyle.
3 starters missing and we still won yey
banchero all by himself fumbles the ball wow .he’ll be thinking about on the flight to okc

WOOHOOO!!

Monster jam

dunc and wagner roomates at michigan
Ingles almost made Duncan pregnant, and no foul call
do athletes wear protection lol
Haha
baby will be a good 3 pt shooter
duncs pretty quick on offense ingles take your slow ass back to australia
dunc keeping us in here .get love out
wagner killing love tonight what a mismatch
12-0 run for Magic. Got to hit some buckets.
Starting to miss shots, d tightening up on both sides.
At least the injury report is more even than usual, but we are still missing more. So far, it’s an even game.
banchero bam wrong guy to try son
Rainbow!
banchero #1 pick we never get that.orl still not a playoff team
everybodys waiting for boston playoff caleb.havent seen anything close to that .always hurt now .he better show out soon or else he will be sitting next to jamal alot
caleb and love played bad bball rest of squad was good
i think jjj needs to be taking last shots now
great pass jovic
Truly. Several in that sequence
This game a lot like OKC. The Heat are playing well but can’t get separation.
jim ty out
jovic gets lost on d at times
Jaquez a G
jjj a load with that footwork better put some size on him
Jaquez made Cole look silly.
cole too small
love looks slow tonight
j rich 2 great plays
Jrich in attack mode
Not sure why some don’t see his value.
There dumb if they don’t see the value, he’s a 3 level scorer, and one of our best POA defenders.
overall hes been below avg look at his #s
He’s a rhythm player, and was injured a lot, the only thing below average for him is his 3pt shot, but thats getting better.
His career numbers are definitely average. This season % and 3p% are below. His d has been fine. He contributes to team success. 10/3/3 for his minutes are all you can expect.
Good numbers on a minimal contract.
Exactly.
hes there for his d mainly any scoring is a bonus
jovic gets no 50 50 calls
u guys think the heat are holding ty out for the murray trade
Yes, we don’t need to trade herro for him.
Got Caleb back
Got a frenetic pace too this game so far
w/o ty and jim gonna be a close game
Agreed
an aggressive bam is a good thing he passes out way to much
clear walk
man jjj took 3 steps walked big time
dunc sees tys not on ct knows hes gonna get shots
dunc stay on corner shooter
Dunc and 1
Really like the size of this lineup
Jaquez at pg omg!
very tall starting lineup
