Defense was bad. Herro was awful. 21 shots just to have 17 points? Okc was playing tights defense on herro. Playoff time, where will he be when defense gets tougher? Herro needs to figure something out.

Tough loss, but love to see JJJ do well in the bright lights.
Definitely need Jimmy back but glad to see there's no longer a huge hole when he's out

Were missing Jimmy you need to have another half court scorer who can get easy baskets and collapse the paint for the other guys. If nobody is hitting shots and Tyler is the only going at the other team, its really easy to stop him. Miami Heat has made a mockery of one man army teams when they just need to shut one guy down who is the only one getting buckets, its works against every team.

Gonna have to sit it out until someone steps up-- we can't support this GT dereliction by our peers

Bams around a top 15 player in the league who has improved every single season in the league, you all were talking about the dude like he was Nerlens Noel so I rightfully killed all that ignorant talk. You all didn’t understand the skillset you were seeing and the progression players make as they age and get more experience I guess


Problem is you made and still make him look like a stuperstar which he is not, point is you can not go by stats only, players need to evaluated not only by stats, a lot of them are empty ones.


I was making him look like an all star, which he is and was. I mean looking back on the “debates” now I was clearly right lol it wasn’t even close.

Right, I hooped my entire life coming up so I understand the game and talent I see outside of statistics. I’m not sure what you’re getting at with that comment, if you were directing it towards me or ICC idk.


So because you hooped your entire life coming up it now means you can predict the future, maybe we can talk to Pat and he can get you a scouting job for the heat, who knows maybe we can keep on finding scrubs and make them look better than they actually are. By the way no, Bam is not a superstar :lol: :lol: :lol:

I’m saying it’s not close because it isn’t close. It takes maybe a few minutes of watching Mitchell to see how far superior of a talent he is compared to Herro. Watch a little basketball outside of the Heat; it will do you some good.

Heat wanted to pair the 2, Pat Riley always tries to finesse but he wasn’t pulling that on Danny Ainge. I stand by my statement if the Cavs called right now and offered Mitchell for Herro straight up the Heat are taking it without hesitation. Herro would also slightly fall off as a player and Mitchell would get better due to the Spo effect further widening the gap between the 2 players.

It’s not close, it’s time you all take the homer goggles off for this dude. He just isn’t it regardless of what elite players you all try to compare him to at a certain age or however good he was that one game of the ECF his rookie season. That’s not him. Mitchell is that guy, Mitchell is the big game performer that can carry the load if needed.


Hey man, not to ruffle your feathers because i actually agree with you on this take about Donovan being a better player than Herro, but specifically you talking about STATS not being the only measurement you need to look at? I have told you a million times when talking about Bam and you coming up with so many meaningless stats ( for the record I am pretty happy with Bam's performance this year ) still dont think he is a superstar. Carry on with Icecold.


But Bam is the ultimate "beyond the stats" player.

I don't think you're making the point you think you're making.


So now he is the ultimate Beyond the stats player, you and bammy just love to twist everything to fit your bam superstar narrative. I clearly remember you both bringing buttloads of stats to justify his mediocre game, now all of a sudden he is the ultimate beyond the stats player. This would be bothersome if i was not taking my morning pill, now its just comical.

Def something comical going on here. I don't think it's what you think it is though.

Yes I support Bam and am thrilled he's a foundational piece of the Miami Heat organization that I have been ardently supporting for the past 30+ years. I've seen his value and bought stock early which is continuing to prove fruitful. You got me?

LOL at the idea of Bam having a "mediocre game". You're showing your a** here. Fraud fan.

Whatever your definition of a fake fan is I could give a rat's a ss. So you bought stock early uhh? You have waited a very long time to see minimal return i can see, wouldnt rate it as a good financial decision. You are right on one thing, this is all comical and amusing.

You keep on babbling about buying early stock on Bam, like he came out of the gates his rookie year blazing, when in fact he took a long time to start developing, albeit he is playing better and better for which i am happy as my main focus is for the Heat to win it all. But to praise Bam like he was the next coming of Wade is just foolish.

By the way i will move along, talking to a blind homer is like asking a rock to smile. It just gets dull and boring.

I've never talked to rocks, so I can't relate.

Your hate boner for Bam is strange, your understanding of basketball is lacking, your general demeanor and form of communicating is sad. Have a great week!

Blah blah blah more of the same, like i said dull and boring, nothing interesting or of substance coming from a blind homer. Its like having cataracts blocking information reaching your brain.
