Kudos to Allen, Hunter and scrubs. They did a great job.
Heat looked tired and not focused. Too many turnovers/unforced errors.. Too many second chance points. Too many missed shots in paint. Too many fouls. Too many lulls. Defense sucked.
Definitely could use Bam, Herro and a mobile big. Hopefully Riley is working on that.
Any news on Bam?
if jjj doesnt keep excelling this is gonna be a problem.norms gonna get his 20-25 every night.not sure about jjj off to great start but only game 10 looked little tired tonight.thats where a herro is needed for nights jjj is off.if bam is out for an extended timewhich i dont think is the case a trade for a big needs to be made
Need a calculator? This was game 12, not 10.
espn gsw 104 spurs 99 6 mins left
espn has lakers okc sorry
GAF
to be honest this is how i thought the heat would be,based on last years squad.norm was ok tonight rest of heaters no.jjj been great he has to keep it up.rest of squad minus wiggins and the injured average to below average players
A day ago you repeatedly said we can compete in the Eastern Conference. Now we suck. Typical you. Off the bandwagon until the next run.
brought back flashbacks last years team.tonight we sucked because jjj sucked.hes was the diff in our success with norm
High expectation. Big disappointment. The celebration from the previous win completely erased. Sigh.
jjj got stymied tonight
on to ny knicks they got killed tonight theyll be mad we need bam back
Pretty ugly. Next!
Oh well, you can’t take the wins or losses to heart too much. It’s still early and it’s not yet clear where we are at. I really look forward to the day we get to see our whole team together. Hopefully that day will come.
ware got abused by allen tonight plus the midgets that tried to guard him
Vlad at the scorer’s table
w/o bam no excuse not to play him tonight
Actually there is. You just don’t get it.
hes not bulky built like a greek adonis
put vlad in game over spobot ive seen him play at fau 2qbn never seen him play
wares just so soft for a big no fight in him no intensity no strength.but hes 7 ft very long and skilled.just lack of intensity not good
didnt realize allen was skilled impressive
cleve prob best team in east getting a splits ok
Giving up a really good chance to beat them twice
anything can happen in one game we play this team tonight in a 7 game playoff we win 4 1 maybe 4 2
come on ware allens your guy where r u
Life in the nba has its ups and downs and downs.
Remember a big toe problem kept Garland out for a season
Are you alluding to Bam? Let’s hope nothing like that could happen.
he got stepped on different than turf toe what did in oj mcduffie.just repeated abuse of toe wear and tear
I meant that as a response to h. His question below.
jjj gotta get worn out with that style.he takes lots hits.his first year started out good then hit a wall. hes got to take some jump shots he looked tired tonight already after game 10
when the f is bam coming back.no news on that .
jarrett allens a very skilled player playing with mitch mob garland hunter hard to use them
Clock ticking
Not good flow because Niko hasn’t been in 😛
Incorrigible
Trap game. But there’s still time to get back.
Plenty of time, but need to get their sht together. Now.
wow out quicked out jumped
this is where herro would help
jjj gotta take some js u cant keep this pace up all year
ware and 4 midgets versus good big teams aint gonna cut it
jjj the way he plays is very tiring hope he can last
This is a classic case of playing down to the competition. Need to clean things up .
jjj off
Another down the wire finish?
Playing with fire.
Some exceptionally sloppy played here
Pelle – what a great pickup
crutty and 2qbn love niko.dont see it as of today hope he improves .his game not living up to his $$$
I would like to know what your benchmark is for earning that salary.
Also, prior to tonight’s game, he was 4th in +/-. Imagine when he gets more consistent.
He’s on his rookie contract. He is certainly earning the current $4m.
Well played with facts, sir
keep shooting merill
ware getting in foul trouble cost us 8-10 pt lead we had throughout first half
And Powell saving grace
bad coaching here non use of vlad head scratcher
I don’t think that constitutes bad coaching.
LOL! yeah, this game is missing a guy who hasn’t played a single NBA minute. My guy is ready to die on that hill with this specific team. I’ll give him that
getting killed on the boards nobody can guard allen give the guy a shot were to fkn small w/o ware.brady had not played till moe lewis took out drew bledsoe lol
We have been getting killed on the boards most nights. As long as we run it evens out. Yes, we’ll need boards, but a guy of Goldin’s profile is not going to be a positive with how they’re playing. If anything, he’s better in playoffs when teams slow things down.
That’s a good comment. Running has been our great equalizer. And Goldin may very well be too slow for that style. But, it would be nice to have the running working like it is and still not get killed on the boards. Trouble is, its very hard to make a trade early the season before anyone gives up. Plus, we don’t know who to trade yet. I think you were the one who said we will get Precious back when he doesn’t put us over the apron. But, I think he went to the Kings.
who can guard allen with ware on bench who?
Mugsy Bogues
And they tied it
dav needs to drive more super quick
too small spobot whats wrong with this guy put vlad in
You were spamming that vs Blazers and they won. I guess eventually you’ll be correct
i know your an ahole im right about that douchy
Thanks
put vlad in spobot
Pelle what was that?!
landing ground foul
Just read Beal will be out for the season due to surgery. Clipps really screwed. But we are thankful 😀😁
Wow, that’s too bad. And he’s no spring chicken
Yeah, I posted that in the other thread. The Clips are kicking themselves right now.
DMitch!
Poweeeeelllll…im getting used to this lol
3 level scorer good at all levels
niko dum pass
dav just to short to challenge js
Niko needs to finish like that not like the previous one which was wild. Those wild ones drive me insane when he is so much better than that crap
Kid needs to develop more upper body strength.
Hunter looks good for Cavs. Heat was bullying him during his Hawks days
