Definitely can’t over react to the loss. But, can’t feel great about this performance either. Hopefully it’s just an off nite, a rare one where both Bam and especially Jimmy were not as effective as they usually are.
is bam ever gonna change his passive mindset in scoring jimmys old now bam
at least we get to play atl charl wash quite a bit
pat riley ct does any other team do that thats kinda weird
Somebody throw a clipboard or something
looking forward to sunmans comments he tells it like it is
we honored pat tonight deservedly but as a few heat fans have pointed out he has been bad last few years
Spo can’t be serious about putting the starters back in down 30? Give us the rookies. No one wants to watch these lazy fools play the last 10 minutes.
u can see the way jjj plays hes got game not super athletic though that hurts him at times.
its not just the shooting % its the way they look.small slow.that could change.what does a thomas brynat do for u.what does dunc do for u ditto shnozic.need more length more athleticism
dunc would have been good in the 1960s.shnozic would be good in europe
Clearly Riley iced the wrong team. 😕
Genius status revoked lol. What are you doing here? 🙂
Just checking in. Unfortunately, the Heat checked out.
Stay checked out. The manure still stinks in here like always
way to long that half time
who in here want thomas bryant playing before ware.is spo in here he might be the only one
RC is a genius
Can’t believe we’re still watching Bryant and Robinson when we’re down 25 points and we got a first rounder we can play at center and a second rounder we can play at SG/SF.
hes not called spobot for no reason
miami midgets eric likes short teams
Turd quarter 🫠 PTSD from 23-24 3Q’s
What the hell happened?!
Same team as last year. Can’t shoot, can’t rebound. Don’t show up in the 3rd quarter. Jimmy’s on vacation.
TB31!!
😭😭😭
i love me some josh christopher
bams still young no excuse for him
Looking like one of those games where everything goes wrong for one team and the other can’t do wrong.
Looking like the 2023-24 Miami Heat. No offense for long stretches. Bad 3 point shooting. And in general awful 3rd quarters.
It’s game 1. I have seen awful passes and terrible D to go along with what you said. I take nothing away from one total game.
It is one game this year (well 3 quarters) but when the majority of the rotation is the same as last year, is it really just 1 game?
same team as last year.i really think ware can change this sht,but hes not ready total bull sht
Dude, stop. Even JJJ hit a rookie wall and you know this, but love being obtuse
They are shooting 34%. I don’t care what team it is, you don’t win shooting 34%, and this “majority” rotation shot 12% better as a team last year.
If the team is gonna compete like it’s an exhibition, can we at least put in the rookies? See something interesting in what’s turning into a blowout?
the rookies jump run and shoot it pretty good .this is a boring team to watch with old jimmy
banchero does stuff bam cant do on offense
put jjj in there jeez jovic not nba ready
lol
same team as last year and jims a year older what can we expect
ball game wow thought the knicks looked bad
lol
when does spo play bam and ware together.shnozic made a few layups not ready for nba.
Season over
81 more but this is an indication though.jims just too old.get rid of him .make jjj the feature player.jjj always wants to score when in.jim and bam not so much
It’s such a long season. You do you and enjoy your time off
That was a rough start to the 3rd quarter. Feels like I’ve seen this story before.
C’mon boys
Go Heat!
too small too slow same team.ware is he
It’s the first game. You know Spo always uses the first 10-15 games doing all kinds of roster shuffling and testing lineups. This is known
Pat is awesome. He was icing the Magic. Get with the program, guys 😉
love ya pat does he know theres a game tonight
WTF is Pat yapping about
are they playing the second half?
arison the robert kraft of nba
ty pat u and dwade are the miami heat
norris cole looks the same
billy c and louis schafel in atrendance
Ouch…Bam, Jimmy you got to wake up next half
Bam and Jimmy still in vacay offensively
jims old bam tends to disappear at times
Finally Dunc
Let’s go Heat!! (Still out of town)
Stay out of town because there is a warrant for your arrest once back in town 😉
😆
Don’t worry I’m gonna bail you out 😁😄
Many thanks!
Heat getting Harrised
Lol JJJ try and try….
dunc wtf u doing on d
love jjj game
10 second chance pts the difference there is a guy on the bench who could help us solve that problem
Jovic did have bad positioning on a couple magic orebounds
Always a positive when Heat breaches that 30pt mark in the first. Just need to defend better.
