The problem with Dame is that he is not making the majority of his shots, he turns the ball over 3-4 times a night complexly unforced and he can’t really guard anyone. Other than that he is doing great.
FANTASTIC WIN, FROM START TO FINISH. Jovic was sensational, I’m so proud of him, was in his bag, and cooking. This performance will do wonders for his confidence and his D was pretty good too especially on Giannis. Love and the Dunc yard dog came through in a big way killing that terrible D. Lastly bam triple double was better then giannis own lol. GO HEAT!
we came and we gave them a beatdown with them fully healthy so they have no excuses. now thats how you step-up
Anyone agree that the Heat play better without hfl? 😆😂😆😂
Sssshhhh…dont mention that? Haven’t we learned anything? lol
now that youve mentioned it…where is hfl?
You have to have that dude around… He’s like a counterbalance to everything. Never forget Josh Jackson.
That’s true, but I couldn’t resist since he often suggests that we are better when we’re missing a key player.
Josh Jackson for Life!

Gee, I’m really sorry we didn’t get Lillard for Jovic, Jaquez, Herro, and draft picks.
NOT!!!!!!!!
Bwahahaha! Hope we face Bucks in po. Again.
They are going to have nightmares every day from now until April about facing Heat again in first round.
I wanted Lillard, but wanted to keep Jovic. I just believe in the kid. But yeah… Pat looks like Nostradamus on that one. I never thought Jaquez would turn out the way he did. I tend to want to give up on Herro, but I have to remember what he did in the bubble during that Finals run
In summary, yes, thank goodness it didn’t happen.
I wanted Lillard too, but not at that cost, and funny that Blazers thought it wasn’t enough.
They don’t know about that grind. I have friends that are Blazers fans… I feel for them. We are lucky to have the Miami Heat.
The Bucks screwed up getting rid of Holiday. Their defense has suffered and their offense isn’t all that. They also f’d up firing coach (who was 32-13) and bringing in Doc Rivers (3-6 so far). They now have 3 coaches under contract. Oh well. Better them than us.
Convincing win! No JB, Terry, JRich. Go Heat!!
That was much needed fun for the team.
And for us here lol
Yay!
Just a little bit of an upset, lol!
Cmon give the ball to Williams
Meh lol
Who could’ve predicted tonight?!? Nobody. Will the Heat get credit for this win or will Doc Rivers?
I’m a Heat homer, but let’s be real. Doc
Alondes sighting!
G league lineup in the house
Bam f’d around and…
…got a triple double. 🙂
Deserved it
White flag?
Lol its Love day there, and its Love day here also! 😂
He’s on fire!
Dang, JJJ! Needed that for Bam
Got it!
Alondes smiling, high fiving guys, having the night of his life. Hasn’t even played lol
He’s excited he’s gonna play tomorrow coz its a b2b lol
For sure!
Valentine’s Day came early! Love is in the house!
Winning all the quarters…finish good boys final q. GO HEAT!!!
Is that a callback to last years playoffs? If so, very well done.
Milw getting haunted by the ghost of last po lol
Is this real??? Whatever you do, don’t wake me up.
Wow! Almost got to the century mark this 3rd q
If I’m dreaming, don’t wake me up!
You beat me to it, but yes… wtf is going on??? lol
Yes!
HA!
Pat Flopperton
We’re allowed to say that now that Lowry is gone
Just in time for Valentine’s Day… You’ve been run over by the LOVE TRAIN! 😀
Lol that’s good
If they don’t win this challenge??? 😠😠
Lol flop
Dude acted like he got shot with a shotgun
Twice!
Total flop!
Got to give it to JJJ he’s all guts.
Man, I’m loving this iteration of our team in the game right now. Good to see Jovic finally get some real playing time and capitalize on it. Don’t get me wrong, would love to see those away from the team be back. Pleasant surprise so far.
from now on, lets pencil in niko at the 4
Still a fast paced game…go Heat!
So far it has been favoring the Heat
I’m exhausted from all that running and gunning. Great first half! I think Dunc is all fired up from that last game dust up. Jovic breaking out and Tyler his usual + more
wow you guys! Duncan grew a pair. I hope we can continue this into the second half.
Duncan has had enough of your s**t 😉
In everyone defending Duncan tonight, all he sees are Jaylen Browns. lol
Wow! I should be late more often! Let’s go Heat!!!!
Nah don’t be late tomorrow lol
Dunc yard dog barking at Crowder
Highsmith might be the last guy I want on the receiving end of a fast break
Herro heroing. Go Heat!
Can someone tell me why Rivers was chosen as all-star coach?
Lol Bam makes up for that last second to in first
First quarter rating: good, gooder, goodest? What do you think? Lol
Jovic needs a rotation spot, this man is a menace in the best way
Going for 30pts this game?
Probably after he gets a triple double against the 76ers tomorrow.
Jovic went to sit down on end of bench and one of the assistant coaches called him to sit next to him and was going over something. A little in game coaching. Great to see and Jovic with a great start
Love and Jovic together is interesting. Fun quarter so far
Its morning here and im already getting tired coz of this fast paced first qrt. But Heat leading so that’s not a complain lol
niko going crazyyy
The time has come. It was written.
Ka-BAM!!
Electornics not working well coz of the cold?
Good sign for Jovic
