rishasht was my mvp for me lol go heat f the picks .look at the top players now how many were top 10 picks.just as many not.u have a legit chance to get to the finals y the f think about picks now jeez
It was close but the better team won.
Some amazing stats tonight.

Wiggins 20/8/8
Mitchell 16/3/5
Highsmith 12/10/3/2
Bam 17/11/5/2/5
Ware 12/8 100% but limited minutes, boooo
the lakers with lebron vs cleve in the finals wow thats a tasty matchup .or lebron vs the heat thats not to bad either
Boston – OKC
lal cleve
La bos more money involved
true your opinion of herro has changed? mine has
Herro-Mitchell show in ot. Good for primetime next games vs Cavs Mitchell-Garland
Did Ware get hurt?
Not that I know of.
spobot at it again another spo scratcher and they really itch 30
See your dermatologist
cant afford one
#1 pick how did he play f the picks go for the parade in july
Picks matter buddy. It was a #9 and a #13 pick who just won this game for us.
i live for now who knows if me or u will even be here next year.
Sure. And my point was valid.
How has Wemby played? How has Banchero played? How has Cunningham played? Now you’re judging this guy in his first season. Typical.
Yeah it’s the delusion for me I don’t understand. All for the sake of getting guys experience in the playoffs, some said Mitchell but he’s been with Sacramento and some say ware but he’s only 21 and who knows if spo will even play him that much
I hope we have a good run in the playoffs, but I will see what player is chosen in that 10-12 range. Anyway the Heat have done well picking in the mid first round and there are some interesting players in that range.
THAT’S RIGHT, CLEVELAND, START WETTING YOUR PANTS NOW. MIAMI’S THE EIGHTH SEED, BABY.
clevelands ugly but theyre better than atl.theyre pretty good emily
THEY’RE NOT TOO GOOD TO WET THEIR PANTS.
Who downvoted pant-wetting? I swear some of you are so immature.
tys voice doesnt match his face lol
Does for me
weve been thru this before .i feel differently
As do I
wata game as usual bamela nada in 4th but got picked up by dav and ty and a little wiggy plus hh defense.whats wares injury btw
I thought Daniels “stopped” Ty? He still got 30
tlets see how many shots he took and bam one sec ty 21 atts bam 14.bamsnot a big moment guy like ty dav or even wiggy,hes not looking to score in the 4th
The W!!
george w
we get at least 4 more heat games .
7 called it 😜
who in 7
Good game birdies. But you got fried again at least you fought
here we come rock n roll hall of fame city.what a sht city otherwise
No more pick 😭😭😭😜😜😜
Haha, true
I’m going to say it – THIS GAME IS OVER
We don’t need no stinking draft pick!
Haha
And it’s not like we’re flat out losing it. We already owed OKC. This just means we get to keep our draft pick in next year’s draft.
And really, with the impact Mitchell is having, it’s like we already added a lottery pick. Who’d have thought he would be the most important piece we received for Jimmy?
hes made the most impact for sure
ty pj tucker
