Strange game: Ware had more points than Jaime, and Jaime had more rebounds than Ware.
Game blacked out here. Oh well. Looks like the guys found a way to win at crunch time. That’s a beginning. What happened to Jaquez?
After Lakers game, clips made an effort to clog up lanes , anytime he would drive, was clearly on there scouting report, so Jaime highway was shutdown for construction. He needs to hit the 3 at least 33 percent, to open up the floor more for himself for games like this, when they clog up the paint. Also zubac was a force in the paint as well.
Thanks Big. You are right about the 3 ball. If other teams clog the paint, that should open up Jaquez kicking out passes to open players. Spo will need to work on Plan B for that.
What is there to plan it’s drive and kick just basketball 101 counters pretty sure Spo is familiar
Hope he uses it next game.
they were helping on jaime alot to,i dont think one guy except kawhi could handle jaime.hes one of the best drivers to the hoop in the association,but yes he needs to hit a few js and pass off little bit.jjj was fine sun.the whole team is fine.pelle was great his energy is infectous,hes the marcus smart of sweden,shnozic is the concern sun,of the vanillas i got pecking order jjj pelle fonzi shnozic,
Sunman.we subscribe to an app.tv deluxe.it costs 49 dollars per year.We get all of the heat games on it plus new movies when they hit the theatre.lol
boy that no call on that foul could have cost us the game but we got lots dawgs.kawhi was surrounded by 3 dawgs pelle norm wiggy.
I hope spo realizes ware needs more minutes after this game.
Some of the games he’s been a dud honestly I came around to trusting Spo is going to walk the split the best that realistically can be done
Jovic been a dud in some games or more then ware, but still getting at least 20 mins a game. I trust spo, but one thing I don’t like about him is his stubbornness. We’re already light on bigs and pelle,jovic,and Jaquez are 3s that occasionally masquerade as a small ball 4. especially on a night that ware is having is best offensive game. Lastly zubac killed us on the boards like I said earlier, 18 rebounds is crazy work.
Jovic and Ware got almost the same exact amount of time on court this game. And while +/- isn’t the entire picture, it’s worth noting that the Grizzlies game was the only time he’s had a net positive while on the court this season. Even in the Hornets blowout, when Ware got 26 minutes, he was a -14. Jovic has only had a negative +/- in two games so far, tonight with the Clippers and the Spurs game, and those two games are also the ones where he’s gotten the fewest minutes (17 and 9, respectively).
We learned our lesson about big men with empty stats back in the Whiteside years. We don’t need to learn that lesson again. Ware has potential, but if Spo is being stubborn it might just be because he doesn’t want to see another talented big squander his potential like Hassan did.
Great win! Played some real good D, bam, and wiggs came in clutch. I’m happy norm beat his old team.
Man, that came down to the absolute wire. Clippers showed heart. But also they should have called that foul when Zubac grabbed Powell.
Them refs blind seen it happen right in front him.
we can all guard theres no tys and dunc s out there
Heat win ! Fuck the refs!
yesss fu ref u blind sob
What great win against a top team.
Wow! Great great win!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
foul foul fk
no ot im crashing soon
No more questioning any Heat player among the top nine of the rotation. They are all doing well. We just need one more good player. Maybe Ty will be it.
top 9 include shnoz?
No.
agree
Maybe Terry will come back.
At least a wave on the way by.
Yes for now
Freaking harden
Dayam!!!

Wiggins very impactful tonight
wiggy thats a bunny gotta have that 1
Thank you wiggy
u play enough minutes law of averages not impressed
jovic that is 30
dunn rebound over bam yikes
Nico with a big score.
How many times this game have we made a fantastic steal just to immediately hand the ball right back to the Clippers? We need to hold on to that ball.
Exasperating
Exactly we’re playing too sloppy, we need to lock in, and focus
cp3 embarassing his legacy not his bank acct
We need powell back in
wheres norm nixon
why is ware not in.
Ware should be in over jovic .
Spo let the bench stay in too long. And that zone gives up too many open 3s.
Clippers got the momentum now
what the hell, there were four white jerseys next to that ball and they let the Clippers get the rebound. We can’t let that happen.
wow u can see that coming need powell in asap f jovic im just about to write the shnoz off
Stop. Everyone out there has been butterfingers.
Starters built a 13 point lead. Spo subbed and now it’s tied. If you wanna point it out one way, it’s only fair to point it out the other way. Stuff happens.
lineup cooking let it cook more spo never does therfore the name spobot.
So he was just as wrong for taking the starters out as he was earlier for taking the second unit out? OK, that’s fair.
