Just checked the box scores birdies got 3 players with 20+ pts and still lost. And most of their fans as usual blaming the refs for another Heat beating 😂
kelly sacco does radio work for the marlins shes an excellent broadcaster even in bball
when the heat were floundering in the 3rd who came to their rescue no other than 55.he has earned my respect so even when he gets beat on d he has def earned pt
If you watched the post game, Ron showed a play where Duncan played solid defense against Bogdonovic, and specified how he has improved. Doesn’t mean he’s good there yet, just that he’s improved.
Ron pointing out Duncan improving defense
Ron knows what he’s talking about
u get dunc one on one with most nba players with no help there scoring on him.bams got his back and bam gets him free alot with his screens.def a rotation player
If you watched it, you would have seen it. Stop action, move by move, solid defensive play. You don’t see it? See your optometrist.
rc hes very bad defensively
u have to compare him to other players in the league
I already have. He’s not even in the worst 25. And one player who you love love love – Haliburton – is worse.
You’re smarter than Rothstein. No way, no how, not now, not ever!
hes hired by the heat if he criticizes to much no job ask tommy hutton
he cant guard i dont need ron rothstein to tell me that hes improving ,hfl says he cant guard fact hfl not bias.or on heat or bally payrollhfl says duncs a rotation player now for his improvement on offense.hfl says dunc cant defend hfl has eyes and a 73 inch tv.how much haliburton bball do u watch.a guy that good can have dunc like d.ill watch him closer when ind plays and report back to u rc
Totally ridiculous! Maybe you need a 100 inch tv. You just pointed out how Ron is a fair, honest, knowledgeable analyst. You’re a legend in your own mind. Your opinion, nothing more, and people substantially more knowledgeable than you disagree with you. I seek out multiple opinions, here, on tv, in the media, people that get paid or don’t get paid by the Heat, and the consensus differs from your OPINION. It isn’t Ron just saying it – it’s him (and others) showing it. You are definitely not as knowledgeable as you think if you really think you’re right on this point – you’re not. Try to convince someone else bro.
no eric calling heat games not good like his call alot.i can do w/o homer crotty though
Zzzzzzzzzzzz…
Dozed off. Birdies tried but again got fried. Yawwwwn 🥱
december game vs atl your pardoned .dont fall asleep vs phily
You said it was a ‘great game’ 27 minutes ago
a close game is a great game yes rc.a really great game is a close game vs bost milw phily didnt vibe to it
Yeah didn’t know we got a christmas day game! I almost forgot we just went to the finals
we can get there this year and lose to denver again,current roster not beating joker and co
ty talks funny
He sounds pretty normal for a young guy to me. Milwaukee accent?
young punky accent
He’s a product of our modern social media culture. Jaquez sounds similar in his interviews, but you probably won’t admit that because of bromance.
Really good win, hawks gave it there all tonight.
No, don’t you know the rule is not to credit the Heat, but to knock the opponent LOL!
Lol I can’t knock em when they gave that type of effort. We can’t take any of these teams for granted.
hope kyles ok or do i
pt player with the calf lol jim will be ready for his old team?
Good win!!
its da hawks we judge team vs phily milw boston
From the guy that said a w is a w. Hawks are an okay team. I don’t discount any win, sorry
i judge my team vs phily bost milw.i judge the dolphins vs bills ravens cowboys
I judge how we do in the playoffs
jjj a good guy to throw the ball to in out of bounds plays
Luckily bogdanovich been off in the 2nd half.
hes a 39% 3 shooter water seeks its level
Vince Carter, great career
u referring to trey
Huh?
vince carter
That’s what I wrote. No idea what you’re talking about
ty dunc ty jjj for this w
its curious to me why an athlete (bam) shyes away in the 4th
Just missed his shots , so he let herro ,and Robinson take over. Refs wasn’t on his side tonight.
does it all the time 4th qtr crunch time never wants shot
All the time? No. Bit of an exaggeration there
Dang hawks don’t wanna go away sheesh
u cant win sht with trey young no good players gonna want to play with him
Best 4th quarter this season for dunc
Here’s to you Mr Robinson!
Both herro and Robinson taking over while closing together, such tremendous improvement.
THATS WHAT HERRO CAN DO!
Robinson balling !
who ever saw this duncan robinson coming
Some of us saw hints of it, but this is beyond expectations
Herro with another bad pass smh
Not the Bam pass? Bam should’ve caught that
Yes you’re right
great game go heat .last game was a snoozer
Bam doing his Joel Anthony impression
yeah he looked so good 1st qtr not sure what happened to him at half time
Big triple herro
a floater from the ft line
philys looking good lets see how we do vs them
These refs suck!!
missed a few just like every game big not that bad.
They missed 3 in front of there face
bams effort level tonight gets a zero
Jaquez always right where you need him to be
instinctive player
old bam back second half
hh and bryant getting spotrized.
Jaquez plays like he’s 6’11”
We need a score here
bams been awful second half
u cant win sht with trey young
Clutch 3 herro
rebound crossover for 3 tys back
Robinson carrying us in the 4th quarter.
dunc u couldnt do this in 2022 2021 2020 2019
Started to show some of this in the last playoffs, but definitely much improved repertoire!
did none of this before
I guess you didn’t see it, but he absolutely did some of this last playoffs. Look at the film bro
dunc to the rescue
Duncan!
bam over the back disagree homer crotty
These refs ass
Where the foul?
Jaquez getting reckless
w
W?
