Hey where’s Vagabugi. I thought for sure he would be here congratulating Detroit on their sure thing win.
Btw, great win for Heat. They have a new confidence and comfort. If they keep playing like this no team will want to face them in the playoffs.
Hiding in the hole.
LMAO. 🙂
Bam showed his quality tonight, 24/9/6, +13, team high 34 min
What a win …. They took away all of DET’s strengths. Miami +2 PITP, +16 fast break points, +11 REB, +5 STL
The W!
Really excellent win! That’s 2 of the 11 I’m looking at for the push towards 5 or 6.
Impressive performance tonight.
Vlad muffed the tip
Goldin in, we must be way ahead. Nice, easy win!
Vlad with the rebound
Hfl said, quote, I never liked Herro, unquote.
hot hoops 4 life more rougher than me on ty can u please look up ty in the playoffs his #s.hes playing great right now no doubt if he keeps this up to a degree and performs well in the playoffs i will change my opinion..right now i would not resign him .i dont like his voice lol
I’m just asking you to clarify your statement of ‘I’ve never liked Herro’. So, you keep spinning and spinning it instead of giving a simple answer. But, knowing how you work, you’ll wait until he has a rough stretch or doesn’t perform well in the playoffs, and then you’ll say ‘yeah RC, I never liked him’. Or maybe it was just a mis-speak at the time.
between ty dunc not even close ty
for my buddy rc in the jjj norm pelle ty hierachy thats how i have it..
if we had this bam versus denver think we beat them?
congrats bam on 10 000 rc and 30 little premature
Stewart looking to get ejected today
love him on the heat but dont like him too rough.and dirty
stew cheap shot on jjj fk him
stewarts very touchy
jjj dru two pit bulls on d
rc what % u give heat to come out of east .id say 25%
You ducked my question.
Dru Smith and Jaku causing chaos on defense
kas korner has he ever missed
stewarts borderline dirty player
drus quick hands unreal
jalen brown my mvp
#1 seed like to see these guys in playoffs i know its one game but think we are better,
So, hfl, you said never liked Herro. Has that changed? (Fourth request, btw)
i never met him hes to young and fly for me.like my 60s dudes to hang with
Cop out. YOU SAID YOU NEVER LIKED HIM!! NOW YOU HAVE BACKTRACKED.
hes always hurt rc,remember this is like his 20 th game played 65 games into season.hes a very talented offensive player when fresh and healthy.i think jjj norm pelle id take over him
Stop missing the point. You said you NEVER LIKED him. Your words. It had nothing to do with his d or injuries.
so rc the heat have 0% chance to win east ?
I told you I would reassess after the 11 game stretch that began against Charlotte.
i think u can reassess now
Not how I operate. Now try answering my question, I’ve answered yours.
Pelle to Jaquez, just beautiful!
nobody in nba playing as good as ty currently
So, do you like him now?
?
right now yes.ill reassess at end of year.
Herro en fuego. Again!
dunc d pushed gard lol
only guy that can guard cade is bam make the change put ware on roberto duren
Congratulations Bam on 10,000
Congrats. What a nice career he is having.
Pretty impressive. I just turned it on but looking at the stats it seems like there is nothing flukey about this big lead, in that no one is shooting at an amazing rate. And, even though Vam and Ty are having a good game, others are contributing too.
staus quo for this ascending team
Heat +12 in PITP at the half, +12 in fast break points, + 9 in rebounds and only 2 TO. Some similarities to the Houston game with a team coming in on a rest disadvantage but the Heat are playing well. Larsson has turned into a legit starting 3 in his second season
And Heat are 17-19 FT vs DET only 5-7
Second half strategy? Go after Duncan early and often.
Couldn’t ask for a much better first half than that! But they need to stay with it for 24 more minutes.
cades a one man wrecking crew they dont have enough to be a legit champ team
cades one great player
just go out dunc
cade ever got hurt this is a lottery team
how bout an old farts day heat get me and rc on the broadcast
We can be the Coach Tony school of forgetting every player’s name,
they have their kid casters hhh has there old fart posters
im an old fart poster
wheres this heat team been wow .late season bloomer.give spo the credit
drus was very impactful last game this game very
He is. You said recently that you never liked Herro. Has that changed?
ive alwasy said when healthy and fresh hard to contain.durability is the issue rc
But you said you never liked him. Has that changed?
no he has to sustain this weve seen this before but it never sustains.and playoff performances is where u are judged in the hfl household,mrs feels that way to rc.
heat games w/o e reid hate for that day to ever come
pelle has one strong body and face
kids game jeez
cade #1 pick rc likes those #1 picks.hfl likes more heat games.with e reid for entertainment.rcs correct.
Some great bb by the good guys
what do u do with norm wiggy wow rich get richer
Wiggins is easy, back into starting rotation. Powell trickier, I still feel bring him off the bench.
