Great game! I think OKC may be getting our pick this year. We’ll get it back next year if we make the playoffs. Great experience for Ware and Mitchell. I think Hawks will be getting their feathers plucked on Friday (God willing and if the creek don’t rise).

Mitchell has been in the playoffs with Sacramento if I’m not mistaken I could be wrong

Yes. They didn’t make it out of first round in2023 and lost in play-ins last year. Hasn’t been on team with players who have been to the finals. Different mentality entirely with players who have been there before. Bam, Herro, Robinson, Wiggins, Highsmith, etc.

Everything is negotiable for the right price. I wouldn’t trade him for a Lillard or a Booker plus give up picks and players. I might do it for Ant. Preferably, Miami adds to it’s core, it doesn’t subtract from it.

Funny, I thought of exactly the same player – Ant. Herro plus a young player or a pick would be good.

Yup, you need to start grooming someone in case Duncan is gone. Of course, at the moment, you still have Jaquez, Jovic, and Pelle to unfairly denigrate, so plenty of opportunities.

Plenty for sure, but I’m still a little stunned. Teams score 100 points and it’s crazy to find out not all are on Duncan, so this is a bit g step 😜

Butler said yesterday he didn’t want to be Batman in Miami. He wanted to be Robin in SF If he had stayed in Miami he could have been Herro’s Robin. Pendejo.

Based on his own type of theories, I must conclude that the Heat are better when hfl isn’t here. Pay attention Spobot.

ManilaHeat

70+ pts in the first half!

ManilaHeat

Spo’s got a new tactic. He takes out Tyler in middle of quarters then checks him in to finish it. Good move I guess
