Dallas losing badly again. They likely are ready to unload all their aging players. No thanks to AD and his massive salary. Gafford? Yes.
Embiid injured again.
Detroit Duncans are 11-2!
i dont want ad besides his salary and injuries he took a chance for us to meet in july.happy for dunc nice kid wish him the best.i just root for the heaters though..i thought ware would be similar to likely but he doesnt have the energy of likely.somebodys got to light a fire under ware his effort just doesnt seem there consistently.maybe thats his dna cant change that rc
didnt see game 140 pts aint gonna cut it.kat 39 norm was great.thank gd lac gifted us norm w/o him wow dont want to think about our team,looks like annunoby hardly played,brunson out should have been a w.herro wont help as much as bams d.why so many fn points every fn night.offensive rebounds suk again.vlad didnt play im telling u those offensive rebounds would be reduced alot if vlad was on ct.when u dont have bam and ware is on the bench the big russian needs to be on ct
Townes had 31 in the first half! He schooled everyone who tried to defend him. Only 8 second half. Shamet had a career high.
somebody had to score rc no jb ogy.looks like they got killed on the boards again.im beginning to think ware is not a good defender hes long but doesnt guard good.need bam back asap.when ware goes to the bench gotta put vlad in unless the other team is playing small.bam has toe injury what exactly is it
This ‘awaiting for approval’ stuff is a waste
Garland

Pippin Jr
injury: Left big toeSurgery Date: October2025Recovery:Will miss the start of the 2025-2026 season.Notes: The surgery was to address ongoing discomfort
concerning for bam dam
Hopefully, Bam’s situation is much more manageable
big guys pounding the hard court 100 times a year. as a tennis player that sht adds up and me personally once i hit 50 one injury after the other.before 50 never hurt.bam is the heart and soul of team not the best player (norm) but mvp.hope hes ok rest up untill no pain big guy.
Olats…move on
Another loss to an undermanned team. We are undermanned too. So, it’s hard to know where we stand. Trying to stay patient and believe. But, this result isn’t encouraging.
Heat have missed 11 free throws this game.
For as disjointed as the Heat has looked at times this game, it is a miracle that they are in this with 2 minutes to play.
We are getting outplayed now. Knicks shooting well.
Nico having trouble again.
Big time. Almost entirely ineffective
niko needs to just practice his js.hes sort of has to be a serbian duncan robinson.going to the hoop not a good idea.
Yes about practicing his js, but he does pretty well getting to the basket – he just isn’t finishing.
he does pretty well getting to basket just not scoring .oh well thats like saying an nfl wr gets open just drops ball alot.niko should have been around 6 feet tall hed prob be like dragic.niko has a pg mentality but hes 6 10 hes trying to find his niche here in usa and the only path i see for him to be effective is as a jump shooter.didnt see nyk game but if spo had him guarding kat when 7ft toothpick was on bench thats just not fair to the kid.
The number one thing that I am looking for for our team is to see if they can be competitive in just about every game. For the most part, I am seeing exactly that.
Jovic comes in, immediately fouls. He has to get his sht together or ride the pine.
Bam’s absence is very apparent. What the Heat gained in offense, they more than gave up on in their defense. Ware, Powell and Jaquez are holding their own. The rest, not so much. Need more points from them. Win or lose, Heat needs to tighten up their defense in second half.
Pelle doing fine
Anunoby isn’t coming back. We should be able to beat them.
Need defense to win. Points coming way too easy for Knicks.
Can’t give up 78 points in a half and 31 to 1 player.
Kat will soften up in the second half.
This is like the old ABA
Ware has been better lately. Jovic not so much.
I beginning to think it’s a bbiq thing. Lights on but nobody home.
Good challenge
Powell, Mitchell, Pelle, Wiggins, Jaquez, Simone, Dru, all make this team better than last season. Still need one more piece to be complete
I agree. The team is close. And we can’t tell how close till we see Ty and Bam play. But, I think we need one more piece too. It’s one thing to win 45 games and another to win 55.
Good game. The Heat got to keep running. That is our best bet. Maybe we can wear down KAT and it may show by the fourth.
does anybody besides me periodically get this where the post shows up as anonymous?
I think I saw that somewhere, but not often.
Ah! Didn’t see it hit Townes
Free Vlad! đŸ˜†
Not a good challenge
Townes schooling the Heat
W!! Well at least this first q đŸ˜‰
Competitive first quarter
How bout that pass. Go Nico!
Yes
Almost everyone has prime so it’s not that inconvenient.
Come on get that rebound. They just let it bounce right in front of them until the opposition picked it up.
Let’s go Heat!
Finally! It came to life.
Is it blacked out down here? On prime, have some sound but no video.
