Jimmy still trying to hit that 3pt “hero ball” instead of going for the 2 and possible an “and 1.” I’m ready for Heat to move on from him. He looks like he could GAF! What’s going on with Caleb and Duncan? Is Herro coming back this year? Every time the team gives us a sign of putting it all together, they do a faceplant. This rollercoaster ride sucks bigly.
Was excited while working after getting a glimpse of Heat lead in the 4th. Then this?! Really frustrating loss but the fight was there.
guess u didnt watch jimmy very closely.after missing that prayer 3 which all he can do at end of game did not make attempt to foul the guy who got rebound just casually walked away like a defeated player.
The Sixers exposed a few players we have, players who couldn’t handle the pressure. The box score tells you a lot. Not only is Embiid better than anyone we have, but his supporting cast is a little better than ours. Some players we have are decent players, but Philly s are better. We have some upgrading to do before next year. It’s important to realize the truth.
any word on herro .he can score at least.1fg last 8 mins
For real. It’s too easy to shut us down in the 4th when teams know only terry can make a field goal unassisted
got no stars anymore.cant go very far w/o a star
lol this
sorry manila thats the truth.
I have no idea what Jimmy is saving the effort for. When he tries the iso sets and gets a mismatch, he’s still trying to hop and fling praying on a whistle. Just back to back no-calls and easy transition points for Philly. I just don’t get it…
Does he still know how to score a basket? Or has the foul hunting muscle memory completely taken over his game?
Just saying. Long drive from last year’s thrill factory so far
legs are gone father time gets em all
did hh take a shot in 4th hes gotta learn how to move and get open w/o ball in his hands.dont think he moves very well to get the ball
if jimmy had any ups this is a w hes done.get donovan here for next year
Frustration…
The Sixers are very strong in crunch time, when only the best play well. And Jimmy provides more evidence he can’t carry us anymore.
Just this season and we’ll see in the playoffs if they’re still that.
butler just dont care
def agree with that randy
I guess only rozier wanted to shoot, now Jimmy can go back to making commercials, frustrating loss
Miami needs a star player they can trust to get a bucket when they need it. Doesn’t seem like they have that guy.
terrys closet but hes not gonna be a consistent star
take love out bad things happen
Butler got outplayed by oubre.
thats sad big but true
Disappointing loss. Understatement.
Very upsetting loss.
hh dissapeared
This game on lost on spo, should of kept love in with bam, and should of called timeout after the rebound.
why not a to when things were helter skelter.why not play love with bam
Idk what spo was thinking, caleb didn’t deserve to close, love was the spark we was missing. Then he doesn’t even call a timeout after that rebound smh
bad loss
how bout fouling jimmy u just gave up
f u butler fu
Fun comment section
fu doesnt stand for fun
wow terry prayer
put bam in look what happens
exactly and i was told to be positive
be negative when its called for thats sports randy,rc wont like u though
like how the played in the 4th
plenty to be negative about. team is soft
Don’t be stupid. When criticizing is called for and fair, I not only accept it, I do it. It’s called being objective dude!
Miami played this way closer than I thought they would early, but a Miami collapse feels like one of the few consistent things this season.
Can’t argue with that. It’s been that kind of season
ss jim just a memory
Jimmy playing like a chump
get calebout spo put bamin
oubres played very well f him.
Super wild play by JJJ
