I am thinking that we made some contract mistakes that are hindering us from making the necessary personnel adjustments that are needed. And we appear headed toward only exacerbating the situation with another poor decision. All this is leading us to another very mediocre season even though we have some pretty good players and just need one more.
We have to be honest in our evaluations of players and stop making excuses. Injuries seem to obfuscate the reality of our team strength and make it harder to assess where we stand. But, guess what, there will always be injuries and all the other teams have them too. Winning should be the bottom line. Let the scoreboard dictate whether we are good enough and if we aren’t, look at our roster honestly and make adjustments.
We are in this for the winning.
gn big rc sun at it tomorrow at 1030.jjj sleep good norm get healthy cant wait to see the 2 of u play together
if the heat were in the west theyre 30 52
But exciting. You don’t know that…you jus specalatin.
We lost but Jaquez was a bright spot. He went for 31/8/4 with over 50 percent from the field. He’s 4 inches shorter then jovic, but already the better rebounder.
hes got great instincts separates him from jovic
That’s because Jaquez is aggressive/fearless.
jjj headed to all star game at this rate
Slow down, I’ll give him 6th man of year, if he keeps up this pace.
who are the good sfs in east tatums out
Phooey…they were almost there but props to lakeshow for fending off Heat runs
props to lakeshow no way
tough weekend for miami teams heat hurricanes fins thursday mediocre to bad teams.panthers ok because they lost 2 great players and have won back to back chips
Ugh don’t remind me, wish this week never happened
canes lost hurt the most fins ravens mismatch.
Fire Mario and McD , get rid of beck and tua.
fire mario yes but they paid him so much $$.mcd prob gone end of year.bench tua.maybe zach wilson a shot canes have no body behind beck emery williams backup
Hey heat. If it wasn’t for their whitesides Lakers would have gotten their butts kicked tonight. Jus sayin..
got lots vanilla yes luka reaves their two best players till goat back
Man, there was good effort and good hustle tonight, but too many little things that they didn’t do right. Sometimes the shots aren’t falling, and it’s tough to pull out a win when you’re not making your shots. But we could have won this one, if we’d taken better care of the ball, if we’d gotten more stops, and we didn’t do those things tonight.
Some back, Norman. Come back, Tyler.
if if if we didnt its over on to lac.powell will help tyler no dont want him interfering with jjj .
jjj with powell are gonna be fun to watch hard to defend.great job jjj you were awesome team around u not so much
4 reasons we lost:
1. Defense was terrible
2. Missed over 10 ft’s
3. Dru and ware didn’t play enough minutes.
4. Didn’t make enough 3’s
dru/dav same they should split the 48 mins down the middle.they both would be backups on most teams
Not every night but definitely should of been Tonight.
davs a backup so is dru
no rebounds no rings eric
Still in this barely
Too little too late?
Too late now
Sheeesh….Heat might be offensive minded now but these last 2 games defense was left behind in Miami
its over dam lakers aint that good luka was ok reaves wasnt good tonight.
Spo gambled with the wrong closing unit .
just not good enough
Yup missing too many free-throws, and bad, not enough 3s
davs a backup i believe has been his whole career .need to be better at the point.
Bad defense, laravia with 25 points off the bench
not really impressed with dav just doesnt score enough.what happened to kasper he was impressive
Missing 10 free throws is atrocious
lady ref calls to many fouls
Ware should be in force D and rebounding, would of deflected the alley oop.
too much jovic not enough ware cost us this game if we lose
I agree, if we end up losing
You don’t think Simone 2-10 and 10 missed free throws has something to do with it?
it is what it is he was 16 for 27 goinginto the game
jovic quit on that d when reaves slipped fk him
Need Juan wick back in this bihh
bronny defends good
i’ll live with a marcus smart j
Good take mitchell
jackson hayes in jjs doghouse hes been excellent
smarts been there 2nd best player
very winnable game we will be tired tomorrow lets get this one
kelel out why very impactful spobot
He was
Shooting off for tech tonight
fonzi yeah he was leading the association 3pt% til tonight 16 for 27
Should still be in tho over jovic
Niko’s first 3?
Yes I think so
drus outplayed dav tonight
Yes, dru should finish the game
Need to play d tho
if we ever got bam andware to both play good together with jjj powell wiggy pelle wow that would be nice
Benching ware has awakened the WAREWOLF
Good last 2 plays from niko
About freaking time!
Ikr sheesh lol
ware w/o bam diff player
He should be when Bam sits.
Tf was that niko
TRIPLE J!
Tough block ware !
That was the opposite of a turd quarter. One more quarter like that, and we’ll get out tonight with a win.
As poor as the Heat has been playing, it is an absolute miracle they are only down 4.
We got never say die mentality, gotta be even better this 4th quarter
They’ll overtake this lakeshow by the end just wait. (Crossing fingers lol)
Best bench for a reason 👌
about time ware and tecc gets back in
A full quarter to go and lakeshow 102 already
Getting to 100 also….
Not. But good 3rd.
Nice block on bronny, wiggy did it lbj style
