It was a b2b, so now wonder it wasn’t pretty. They managed to slow us down. It was a tough game. We sure missed Powell. But Herro and Ware had great games, so we won.
Exactly. We’ve had close games against inferior teams when Powell was playing too. It happens.
ok time to watch my # 1 sport mccaferey just scores
Give Ty some credit as he made some big shots in the clutch. Not a well played game by several of our guys but it’s nice to get the W. We missed Powell and Wiggins too although the Mavs injury woes were even worse.,
that ty floater very difficult shot not to many guys make that shot
herros voice doesnt seem right.for his appearance rc says its the way kids talk now
anthony davis sighting stealing cubans $$$ lol keep him away from heat
Davis, Martin, Irving and Thompson wanted for highway robbery. Cooper Flagg highway robbery intern (still learning the ropes).
Heat 12-6! We are not delusional! Lol!
Maybe a bit of delusions of grandeur, in the way that it’s a little early to have total clarity, but who can blame us. At 12-6, go for it. There’s no disputing our record and it’s impressive. I get it that it was a b2b, and we are a team in transition, so there is that. But, the Dallas team we played sucks pretty bad, and we were a little fortunate those open threes didn’t drop. The jury may still be out a little as to just how good we are. But, the early returns are encouraging.
Cmon 30, you’re better than that. We are almost at the 25% mark of the season. I don’t think you can look at this and feel it’s some type of fluke. The players we’ve added plus the improvement of players that were here last season are undeniable. Am I talking championship? No, of course not. But I am talking tangible documentable improvement. And I am happy for that and have been enjoying this season since game 1.
I’m sure there will be a losing streak in the future and that’s natural. But we have made through a tough part of the season. They have to keep it up and not play down to the lesser teams. But, so far, so good.
No, I mostly agree with you. I’m just practicing the emotional restraint that you taught me. We should all be pretty happy right now. I am for sure.
And I was hoping to be funny with the delusions of grandeur comment. That’s an old expression which you don’t hear too often anymore.
I have used it myself. If my comment seemed harsh in any way, as Alex in A Clockwork Orange would say, appy polly loggies.
After the droogies left the milkbar for a night of the old ultraviolence.
Really wacky film! Kubrick. And in some ways, way ahead of its time relative to the future.
norm plays this game not close do agree with that
Negativity is contagious
its reality though if u know the game.its not all about scoring .ty suks on d what can i say sir how long have u watched him try to guard sir.do u understand its 50% of the game sir
Lol. I understand the game as much as anyone. As wrong as you have been about multiple players, stop acting like you know so much. You have knowledge, I have knowledge. You’re a negative Nelly. I choose to be positive. You said 41-41, then when you realize the improvement, you change it. That’s called frontrunning. Rah rah when we’re doing well, sky is falling when we’re not. You’re entitled to be negative, I choose the opposite.
listen we all want the heat to win but w/o norm we are little above 500 with norm maybe 5 -7 games above 500 if he keeps on playing the way he has which looks sustainable
Why wonder with silly what ifs? The point is we DO have Powell. I am enjoying the season. I’m happy for Herro, all star and 6moy. I’m happy for everyone who is contributing to the team success. Nothing and nobody will change my enjoyment.
It’s like Herpes of the mind with a hint of the clap.
With the former being incurable.
heat lucky dallas cant shoot to well
who in nba has a better push shot than herro .wades retired
Big shot by Ty!
Herro not afraid of the moment
Team would be 6-11 had Herro started and no Powell this year, imma stand by that. Also think Miami would’ve blown Dallas out had norm played
Always good to stand by something you can’t possibly prove
Ofc I can’t prove it herros been hurt like always. Norm plays instead of Tyler this is a blowout.
Look, you’ve been wrong on just about everything you had to say, so sorry if I don’t agree with you.
no he hasnt mr heat homer not true
He was sure the team would suck, Riley got fleeced, and we were delusional if we thought that standing pat with just one addition was going to do anything. Yes he was wrong on just about everything. And you continue to be the anti-homer.
herro giveth take ith hes given up at least 15-20 pts with his d.norm guards
id say 8 9
Typically negative with a much improved team. Like I said before, this team is not better than last season just because of one player, although he has been really, really good. It has been several players that have lifted their games this season.
wonder if christie related to doug
No
wow not a common name ty
herros a pretty big guy wonder why his d suks
Herro’s wingspan is 6’3, Powell’s is 6’11
Good observation. Powell is also more solidly built, more like a running back where Herro has more of a wide receiver body. Excuse my football comparison.
pelle great d
pellebeauty
ware got boyed there
pj wash when he was with charl was a heat killer
we lose by 1 or 2 need make nba aware of that non cylinder dunk that wasnt even close
close competitive game now cant ask for more now get the w,
ware bam keshots a beastly front line like to see that now
when norm and ware are not on floor were not much better than last years team when on ct totally diff team.
Not true
Ware and Jaquez are still light years ahead of last season. Pelle is a factor. A full season with Davion. Much better team than last season and not only because of one player.
i said w/o ware norm
Brilliant! Take away the two best players from any team and yes, they won’t be as good. Lol
fonzi to many minutos should have left keshot in.
Indeed we need Ware and Ty back asap
ty prob on minutos restriction
get fonzi out spobot
put warewolf in
put ware in hes our best player w/o norm here
get fonzi out hes been really really bad last 3 games
wow these refs tonight clueless cylinder play started it dru got clobbered there
Hope Dru is okay
Keshad’s weakness was outside shooting. If he improves that, wow.
keshot nice
detroit coming in only 2 losses as of today.i think we can beat them.might need toget wiggy healthy for his d.little down on fonzis game lately
They can pick on Duncan’s defense.
warehouse nah like bigs warewolf eric
jason kidds a bad coach now few years ago great coach
fonzi bad shot son stop
dru selfish there 3 on 2 herro does it its ok not u
i told my buddy rc limit herros minutois hes gonna get worn out and ultimately breaks down..we got norm jjj to get pts save herro for playoff time
Limiting minutes is not a bad idea. Suggesting he play 15-20 minutes was unrealistic. I’ll meet you in the middle – 25-28 minutes a game.
if we can keep ty fresh we can win the east 25 ok or not enough i like 20.we have norm now and jjjs a bucket getter
He is not going to play the same number of minutes as Simone.
We’ll agree on 25. I’ll contact Spo.
Spo has been good with challenges
jjj missed a shot what cant believe it lol
warewolf eric
double digit lead for 30
fresh legs herro as good as it gets
Quite a return for Herro.
fresh legs now playoff tyler
kelels the american wemby
kelel got beautiful form on 3
bam is the sneakiest dirty player love it im a heat fan
Every time we look like we can get a nice lead, the Mavs come back.
trading luka would be like pat trading prime wade .wtf was that gm thinking
