Thats the true meaning of “outworked the other team”. Is there a new big 3 forming (Himmy, Bam and Dunc)?
I’ll wait for the post-game wrap to give my full thoughts. But damn, I’m starting to hate playing against the Nets! I feel confident in the Heat’s ability to beat the Celtics, Bucks, or Sixers. But this Nets team is tough!
7 – 0karo
This is one of our better wins. The Nets are slightly above average. But, we are better than that. Proves a lot. We are going to enjoy this year.
milw bost phily the measuring sticks 30
panthers never lose either
Getting Martin back is the equivalent of the Heat making a trade to bring in another solid player! Man, this team is deep!
i dsont see a role for turtle
I know you don’t, but he’ll be the starting pg for the foreseeable future.
Way too deep, preach it bro!
It may be a good dilemma to have, but it is a dilemma. I’ll expand on that thought in the post game thread.
im pulling for a herro rozier trade
I’m not. That’s not going to happen. Bank it.
which one of these is not true 1.tys hurt alot.2ty plays crappy d.3ty shoots alot.4tys shooting % below avg .5 lowry is one of the worse pgs .lgh rc
I was going to wait for post game thread, but here goes.
Rozier – 29.
Herro – 23.
Rozier career ppg – 13.7
Herro – 17.8
Rozier career fg% – 41.8
Herro – 44.0
Rozier career 3p% – 36.6
Herro – 38.4
Rozier career ft% – 81.9
Herro – 87.6
Rozier career rpg – 3.9
Herro – 4.9
Rozier career apg – 3.4
Herro – 3.5
Rozier career topg – 1.3
Herro – 2.2
Rozier avg games played last 4 years – 67
Herro – 61 (last 2 years Rozier 68, Herro 67)
Clearly, Herro is better in most offensive categories not that far behind in games played, is 6 years younger, and still has upside. Rozier is a better defender, but has likely reached his ceiling.
I’ll take Herro over Rozier every day and twice on Sundays.
Oh, also, Herro is 6’5”, Rozier 6’1”.
rozier who? Are you a true earthling?
too deep. Cain dropped 40/10 in the last Skyforce game!
Another W!!
dunc in the winners circle every game lol
nobodys abetter defender in nba than bam nobody its ashame he never gets dpoy
There’s something we can agree on.
nobodys a better poster than hfl nobody i should get bpoy huh rc agree lol
I’ll have to get back to you on that…….
i got the jnicho 20 gene
He getting it this year , if he doesn’t then something is clearly wrong with the voters
gobert can guard bridges lol.i dont think so.only thing he cant guard joker big guy
Nobody can truly guard joker, even embid, and Davis can’t stop him. Gobert is only good as a drop zone defender and help defender, but he can’t guard 1 through 5 like bam . Also Gobert can get played off the court.
joker cant guard joel
Vice versa embid is reigning mvp for a reason.
7!!!!
8-4!!
A few more stops. Lezzgo!!
First team to shoot 50 percent against nets d
thats a mick jagger
glad to see turtle not getting pt good move spo
JJJ got the clutch gene
Omg that was awesome
where does ty fit in.just a diff looking team w/o him great one on one player but like the team w/o him
He fits anywhere they put him – starting, off the bench. Very few others on the team can create their own shot like he can. The team understands that.
With his 3pt shooting he can fit anywhere.
Great d from Duncan cutting off cam.
It was, but some people won’t notice
Whoever can’t notice need to fix there eyes .
You are correct
They way we’re scoring Jimmy might end the game riding the bench lol
Love jjj vision. I wouldn’t be surprised if they experimented with him as a pg.
hes 10x better than turtle spo never do that
Duncan and bam playing with these jits.
duncan irving wow
Bamma slamma

Welcome back Caleb Martin
Bam with a nasty poster on Claxton
this team much better than last years finals team
A day late, a dollar short.
yours truly,
Mr. Know It All
Claxton was doing thee most.
Duncan a cold blooded killer!
That’s why you need Duncan!
Miami runs on Duncan
this is why we are dangerous in the playoffs we got jimminy
jjj in effect, keep the lead ,and finish these fools off.
Great 3 quarters! Make it 4.
u think lebron misses lonnie .f lebron
Smith Don’t want that smoke. Back up buddy
always have to help with dunc leaves open shooters been going on forever.but hes playing so good offensively def playable
Jimmy for 40 im calling it
Having good quarters, 1-3…hmmm. I’m not gonna say it. Just go Heat!! 😁😁
Jimmy out here mossing folks.
Jimmy en fuego 🔥
jimmys trying lol

Maybe because they’re winning with him in there?
Jimmy going for back to back 30 point games.
Goodness gracious!
were on pace to score 120 pts. with Herro out, i wonder from where all this points are coming from lol
From the big 3 Jimmy bam, and Duncan lol
for me team better w/o ty my opinion
Cain balling in gleague.
The Heat have developed a great pipeline
We got the best pipeline in the nba, that heat culture is something special.
The Butler definitely did it! Clinic!
Walker playing great for the nets.
