Play in, here we come.
An optimistic view on everything is, that we are actually lucky to get two more games in play in, and then 7 games in each series after that.
This team just have to suffer to go achieve something.
But such attitude is paid with shorter lives of fans loosing nerves, furniture to be destroyed, neighbours to be frightening by unarticulated screaming of people watching those games.
So, a 10 games long winning streak would makes a lot of people happy.
That game was hideous! Head; illness? WTF is that? Inquiring minds want to know!
Uhm not well in the head? 😂
being jimmy
Just have to wait for game recap before I complain with a bit of expletives 🙄
I thought this team was supposed to be getting healthy? I am looking forward to the game when starting lineup is more talented than the injury report. Hasn’t happened in a while
True
For real… this story got old 3 weeks ago
Man, with Jimmy and what we had tonite, we have a team good enough to win. This one soured me a little on Jimmy, whether right over wrong. I know it’s possible he could go out last night and get sick today, but there is just enough doubt for me to start to wonder about his level of commitment, speaking strictly of this moment, not before. Hope this doesn’t turn out to be a trend.
We’ve all had a colleague at one time or another that we run into some evening and they’re having a grand time, and the next day we learn they called in sick. You can’t help but wonder, especially with a description of head illness. Like I said earlier, is that a headache? Hangover? Head cold? If Zo could play with a transplanted kidney, it seems to me Butler could have played. I’d feel a lot different if we had locked up our seed already, but we’re struggling to keep out of the play-in.
If it was just Jimmy wouldn’t worry about it. They’ve been sitting half the team since the all-star break, and there’s only two weeks left in the season. Do you trust this team to be healthy for multiple weeks of playoff basketball? I’m seeing way too much Patty Mills and DW4 to believe this team can beat anyone in the playoffs.
Mills has been awful. Delon not much better. It’s unlikely that we’ll end up any lower than 8th. If we end up in either there or 7, and if Embiid returns for the play-in, I think we’ll have a problem. If we lose that game, we’ll be in the same situation as last season – win or go home. While lightening may strike twice, it’s not the type of odds I would put my hard earned money on. And if we win, we’ll have the privilege of playing the Celtics. They’ve had a great season.
I don’t think the Heat look like they could beat the Magic right now, and I call Orlando the JV team! We’re two weeks away from the playoffs and they’re playing some of their worst basketball of the season. Even if guys come back before the playoffs, do they have enough time to gel?
Delon was never gna drop 25 for us. He is reliable on d tho. Bam, delon, haywood, and healthy caleb are what will get us some winnable rock fights if we make it to the big games
To me, that strong defensive team with Jimmy and Bam, that is our best chance to do some damage in the play in, hard to see us getting much further. The only good thing about last night was that HH has moved up a notch in quality.
If we don’t make 6th, at least we can be sure there’s literally no way we can sit out way out of the play in lol
commercials kyle trade old body lots trash around him who needs wear and tear for these guys ill save it for my next team next year.he just texted me this
my sympathy to your panthers tough loss 30
That one hurts bad. We were winning late. What a double whammy bummer.
I got busy and the Heat got lazy? So play-in is it?! 😐
Beats Cancun, right?
bam needs to be our second best player next year.get donovan get rid of butler
And who else?
send him to ny for randle
Nah Randle ain’t that good in the playoffs.
Loool that was a much needed chuckle, champ. Much needed indeed
no lebron milw lal going to ot ad monster game bam cant do that
They have some pretty good other players.
Healthy ones too
they draft kuminga we draft jovic
He was a lottery pic and jovic wasn’t simple as that.
jovics nothing
That’s crap. He’s a decent player who will continue to improve. Not good shooting, but 11/6/4 is not nothing. And, as usual, you recently asked everyone ‘is there anything Jovic can’t do’ when you were enamored with him. Any time the wind changes direction, so do you.
Well said.
Thanks, appreciate it
no impact on game rc 7 pts first minute 4pts rest of game
Might as well see what he becomes. I have gone from he has no chance to he has a small chance. He is improving and he is very young.
On a rookie contract, which is important
hes better on d than offense,he cant get to the rim vs these guys so all he is is a jump shooter.in europe he could dominate hes not getting any quicker.on a good team he wouldnt play,thats way i see it
Of course it is. It’s not the way others see it. Like I said, you change so often in your opinions, how can I take them seriously?
i need more body of work,hes a newby.hes got little chance to be anything good .way i see it,
Do you realize you just contradicted yourself? First, “I need more body of work” (sensible), to immediately making a judgement “he’s got little chance” (nonsensical).
projecting its called.dont see it.hope im wrong
Nope. The first part of your sentence is about withholding judgment, at least until you see more. The second part of your sentence you are making a judgement now, totally contradicting the first part.
A #7 vs a #27 pick, DUH!
beaut move by williams like to see patty do that spobot
jovic might be the best player in the serbian league.think he should take his skills over seas for his well being .these guys just to athletic for him here
Have you even watched the game? Jovic was at least decent, I would say even better than most that played last night. Rozier, Martin, JJJ all were worse. I would say only Bam and Highsmith were better.
His defence is much better than on the start of the season. His shooting is there, he will never be that much of a off the dribble shooter due to his size but as spot up shooter, he is as good as anyone.
His playmaking, considering his size and age is great and he will get better. Just check the first 2 season of Nikola Jokic, there were a lot of doubters like you and he is a future HOF now.
Not saying Jovic is that much of a talent, but he is talented player, on a great contract for the Heat.
So I turned away again and its almost 20
great post keep them coming
Herro definitely getting traded next season hopefully. He’s just too injury prone, especially late in the season.
nobodys gonna want him.
utah or brooklyn will
wont get much for him always hurt no d
I can think of 5 teams of the top of my head that would want him. Nets, kings, lakers, pistons, magic.
always hurt no d gl to them
His D better then Malik, cam, ivey, and Clarkson.
The market for him will be underwhelming. Irregardless, time to move on.
again correct 30
players 4 -15 not very good maybe hh can change that
Glad Jim got some rest. Wouldn’t want him to over exert himself .
That’s what I am thinking.
Heat need to get healthy really soon or we’re gonna be in the play in again.
Or out
Yes sadly
Heat are not catching the pacers and that doesn’t seem to be there call. Rest and I battle the sixers for that 7 spot. Win and get the bucks who want revenge or lose, play another damn game and play the Celtics who also want revenge.
Never say never,.but yes pacers playing better then us and more healthy. So it’s a good chance that you’re right.
Turn out the lights, the party’s over
ok don
guy didnt miss shot first half has taken 1 in second half
Only 30 points In the 2nd half ain’t gonna cut it.
Team offense is putrid in far too many games this year. It’s just a boring slog.
jjj caleb jovic not very good
I agree, plus these injuries don’t help either. Jimmy and herro been missing too many games like 100 games missing between them the last 2 seasons .
Cmon Heat, you can do this
Game over
Too many injuries.
I felt we needed to get it down to about eight points by the four minute mark. Unfortunately, it went the other way.
other teams scoring 130,140, etc..meanwhile us were struggling to reach 90 lol
Zero good offensive players in Miami and their 50$m star can’t be bothered to play more than 65% of the games.
tys good terrys good bams ok
10 dayer nice effort lol
Haywood disappeared in the 2nd half, not enough shots.
An injury stricken heat without Jimmy, herro,love,and Duncan against an healthy warriors. You could see this lost a mile away.
think hh has taken 1 shot
He’s been out there since end of 3rd, so that’s not on Spo.
That’s one problem with haywood he’s too much of hesitant shooter, and passes out of open shits too much.
run a play for him then rc
game over. they want it more than us
This loss on Jimmy for not playing.
8 for 29 from 3, not enough offense tonight.
isnt patty a 3pt specialist lol
Hasn’t been good from 3 since the first game.
if patty mills starts next game i will —-
bams a good player never be a great player better get somebody better than him oh wait we have one i think
who is better than bam in our current roster
jimmy
steph dagger ballgame thanks jim and eric
deln is so offensively challenged
deln? It’s Delon
no offense no o
Cmon Heat, you can do this
great post
jjj very trashy
Play 20 seconds of good defense, then a foul
Bam needs more touches
f u butler fu spobot what can i say.start hhsecond half put him on steph games tied or were ahead
