It feels good to be back in the win column. Martin was balling tonight at his eastern conference finals version. Love when he plays like that. Also both the Robinson’s was great tonight, especially Orlando. He made a career high two 3’s, and clutch buckets in the 4th , also his first ever double double. I can see him starting next to bam in a year or two. Also very solid games from Juan wick, Jimmy buckets, and jrich. GO HEAT!!

whoever plays vs lowry will have a great day.jrich needs to play over turtle.kyle slow short old get him off fkn ct.hes hurting us spo

ManilaHeat

Not so good second q. And average first half given the personnel available. Raps adjusted well attacking inside with Bam out and they made some long balls in the 2nd. Defending the paint in the next half will be tough. Go Heat!

heat for life

not sure what spo sees in turtle.think hes had one good game of 20

Reality czech

Rough outing by Nikola. I want him to do well, but for the resident genius who questions why Spo doesn’t play him much, that was a good example. I think he’ll be fine eventually, but obviously needs more seasoning.

ManilaHeat

Jovic might still be on his european shoes having a hard time adjusting in nba ball

heat for life

tie game defense is crape hard to win

ManilaHeat

Spo: Jovic what are you doing?

ManilaHeat

Tied game…make another run Go Heat!!

ManilaHeat

Jovic time

Reality czech

Jovic!

Reality czech

This is why I dislike putting in subs when you’re on a roll. Changed the momentum.

ManilaHeat

Ei RC who’d you pick for the In Season trophy? My money’s on Pacers hehe. Underdogs

Reality czech

I’m very biased. With the Heat out, I don’t really care. And, like 2qbn, I think it’s a fake way to generate interest in a part of the season that is a little slow.

ManilaHeat

Im enjoying the fast paced high scoring games but yeah sucks Heat not on it.

Reality czech

Nice to have a big man that can shoot from distance

ManilaHeat

Caleb show in the first

ManilaHeat

3 ball early. Creating a big cushion. Again. Works for me 😀

Reality czech

It’s raining 3s!

Reality czech

Let’s go Heat!

ManilaHeat

We can have a starting five off the players listed as OUT lol
