When you get blown out by a 16-58 team that has lost 18 of 19, you know you have serious problems.
Looks like Bam is giving up defense in exchange a new career as a sharpshooter.
Herro hot for 3 quarters then wilted in the 4th.
Teams don’t stop playing defense after 60 games for no reason. Spo has emphasized defense in exchange for offense.
Being #2 scoring team in the NBA doesn’t matter if you are giving up130 points a night.
This team needs an enema…starting at the very top. 40 of the last 44 NBA champs reached the 60 game mark with a record of at least 40-20. When’s the next time Miami will be 40-20?
start bam ware dont play no d ty at all guarantee better team.if huff and harry potter can get mins why the f not goldin.f spobot.got to many good players for this sht to happen.im blaming film boy more than the players.your fired film boy go back to manilla coach there
Except, again, that is unquestionably not going to happen. Wouldn’t even matter if you’re right about them having more success. The reality is he will play as long as he’s here and healthy.
i agree with that but it is not the right move pelle jjj norm better players.if u guard like herro u dont deserve any minutes, cause ty is always off to quite a bit.where was he in the 4th tonight.legs little tired u think.he gets worn down during games and during seasons.not a winning player last time i talk about tyler hes a punk anyway.look at the way he dresses and talks no professionalism.
Wade and others dressed pretty outlandishly too. He seems pretty respectful and appears to be a good father. He’s never done anything to cast a bad light on himself or the team. As for his future, we should know soon enough. I’d be surprised if they signed him to any extension, and if they don’t, he could be gone in the next few months, or could just play out his contract.
not really true wade was always playing.talking about when herros injured the outfits the dude would wears lol.
Force Riley into retirement and get Elisburg out. I think Nick Arison is running the team, or will be soon. He’s got to get a new GM in there.
they will never force riley out it will have to be on his own.but yes he needs to go
Hfl is correct on this one. Nobody is going to force Riley into retirement.
if mickey reads this site he might lol
So….are we soft-tanking? Or just waiting for the play-in to start and not care anymore with these last games? Or both?
heat need a new gm.mickeys best friend needs to give it up. i dont care who our coach is.just get better more athletic players.pats drafts trades not good enough.u can pick low and still get good players odds decrease but good gms always find players
being a 60 year fins fan 40 years heat marlins cats 30 years hands down heat best team in my life time..times not been good last few years cant complain to much looking at the other teams until cats recently
u conn beat duke wtf they were down by like 20 pts wow
It was an incredible finish, UConn got revenge for Laettner with an equivalently miraculous shot.
i thought mullins might have been chris son but he isnt
tor 70 orl 43 half wow
Anyone who is a true Heat fan should not want this team to get into the playoffs just to get destroyed again.
One of the low points of the season. You don’t see the tankers getting double digit wins often.
Indeed. Humiliating loss
And we’ve had our fair share of low points this season.
Wow. 11 point 4th quarter!
think its time to concentrate who we want back and who we dont.any player is tradeable
Embarrassing, humiliating. Fans are flocking to the arena to watch this team. Not!
bam vs joel when joels healthy mismatch
play 30 s team tomorrow their big 3 healthy playing good,
I hate Philly, you know that.
i know your inlaws dont
u cant win with tyler herro just cant
Lol
obviously dont know the little things to win games .mainly defend
We can beat anyone in the east. Yeah, you know the little things.
What’s funny? He’s not a winning player or makes winning plays. Hes a good scorer nothing more nothing less you like him so much hopefully you’ll follow him on his next team
What’s funny is trying to blame this humiliating loss on any one player. And I’ve been here from the get go. Ain’t going anywhere.
just look at tys playoff #s when he is avail .look at him guard.do u really want him getting 30 mins.come on rc.id take ty maybe for 8-10 mins most
I was talking about this one game. And if he’s healthy, he will never play 8-10 minutes a game. You’re totally unrealistic.
exactly dude just doesnt get it.with herro .i like rc never take shots at him but u cant win with ty
I was talking about this one game. I have said ad nauseum that he is a gifted offensive player, deficient defensive player. I have also advocated trying to trade him, have been against any extension at this point, and just letting his contract play out.
eric games been over for few minutes.
We might just lose this one. Some cold shooting doing us in. Looking bad. It’s pretty much an L now, barring a miracle. Ouch!
If this team plays to win the the play in game, Micky should fire everyone.
Agree 1000%!
Jackson, Riley, Kerr, Pop, Auerbach, were all frauds using fake logic.
its a players league coaches dont matter
Sez you.
And if they don’t matter, how can you say Spo sucks. It would be impossible for both statements to be true.
play wigg vs mobley playing dav norm ty together that suks.coaching doesnt matter in bball u give me the big 3 ill play any team.u give me patrick mhomes tom brady i wont win many games.
Give me Tom Brady in his prime and I’ll have a contender every year.
ty shutout crunch time.legs little tired
so sick of davs over passing that position screams change me
dav never met a pass he didnt like
luka suspended 1 game 16th tech.
nice d ty lol
tys little tired now lets see him in crunch time
this team with hali zubacs nesmith next year will be a factor in east
jjj should get considerations for 3 rd team nba all star
bam has to be your 3rd best player.currently best player
Just got in from golfing. The Pacers are giving us a good fight but usually the tankers find a way to lose down the stretch.
rained all day in broward
We got a little rain, it came down so quickly that I got wet before I could put on my rain jacket, and then it got cold.,
spos a fraud he had big 3 butler.players league coaches matter very very little.
FOR THE THOUSANDTH TIME, THE SAME IS TRUE OF EVERY COACH IN BASKETBALL AND MOST COACHES IN ANY SPORT.
not in football nick saban recruits coaches wins every year same with dabo harbaugh .look at indiana coach this year what he did .football coaching is very important not in hoops sir
Sez you. Give me prime Tom Brady, we’ll contend every year. But not just him, but an equal number of other players in proportion to how many are on a basketball team. So if the big 3 represent 20% of the roster (3 out of the 15 players), then give me 10 good football players in addition to Brady (20% of 53 player roster = 11). Try to compare apples with apples.
Even if the Heat win this game, you can’t feel encouraged.
no defense zone suks
system failure.zone aint working top 15
aba game
one thing i like about ty 100% effort every night unlike bam
Leading scorers at the moment – Herro, Jaquez, and Pelle.
“If I was the coach, I’d never play Ty “ Lol
”We can beat any team in the east “ Lmao.
hes a heat killer hes on tonight .they always play better w/o him
herros prob our best offensive player to bad his d cant be below average not horrible
Pacers the #10 offense in last five games, incl a win vs ORL and close loss to LAC
They are shooting almost 70% from the field and have already hit their season avg per game 3PM in the first half, 13
Heat are doing pretty well to be down only 4, can’t play too tight in the 2nd half or they could lose. Paint is wide open, Miami 38 PITP vs 22 for IND
entertaining game lots offense
If they lose to this awful team, I hope they go into full tank mode the last 7 games.
not happening mickey needs to sell tix.and merch
People are busting the door down to see this team? Don’t think so.
miamis a front runner town
siakam better than bam
thats a walk crutty by herro 2 steps not allowed
bam paid day off
if there playing zone go man if there playing man go zone dont know what the f there doing top 15 wide open shot after wide open shot top 15.
ty d on siakam lol wow whats he thinking
gard wata block wow
Giving up 50 points to the Pacers with 7 mins left in the half is pathetic
lots vanillas on ct
Absolute bs! The Heat bros are getting their asses kicked as much as anyone.
cant play 4 white guys continualy in nba just cant
THE BROS ARE GETTING BEAT AS MUCH AS THE WHITE PLAYERS!!
cant play four white guys continually in nba
Bros – 27 points a few moments ago to 54 for the non bros.
cant play 4 white guys continualy watch the other teams might have 4 on the team we got bout 50 50 unheard 2026
