God bless Herro sucks.

[Beenie]

Anti Herro

[IceColdCubano]

LOL Tyler really wants to get traded, cause that jumper right there off balanced, was putrid bad.

[Shewasfly]

Terrible shot selection. Confidence is one thing but my goodness.

[twix2500]

Did Herro just jack that ugly shot and walked to the bench not getting back on D

Woy and gets swatted at the end as a final death knell.

Whiffy game from Tyler tonight. 17pts on 21 shots, albeit he was a +9 overall...

Its insane to think SGA is already a MVP candidate but in 2- 3 years Chet gonna be better than him while SGA is in his prime. If Chet stays healthy OKC should be a dynasty otherwise it's a failure. I don't how they had KD, Westbrook, Harden, Ibaka and never won a chip. Its never talked how they botched that era

It's talked about a lot (I'm in OKC). One of those years Pat Bev undercut Russ and knocked him out for the year. There was the game 6 Klay game where he went nuts and OKC never recovered. There was also the retro activation of the D.Rose rule to give supermaxes for 2nd contracts that changed Russ' contract for a small market team and that's the reason Harden was given a specific number he could sign for or be traded, he declined and they moved him to Houston.

The year KD left, their offseason plan was resign KD, trade Ibaka for Oladipo and Sabonis(which happened) and the fill the vacant PF position with signing Horford, once KD committed to GS Horford signed with Boston.

There's a bunch of little things that happen which is another reason I think you should always GO FOR IT when you have the chance to win a championship. Nothing is for certain even with great young talent.

Damn! This OKC team is very very good.

[IceColdCubano]

The finishing touch on Herro a snuff from behind. Herro should just put a sock in his mouth and bend over and let it just slide inward with gusto.

[dolphinatik]

Duncan must be in his feeling, breakaway steal down 8 and he didnt pull up for 3? wth?

[Wiltside]

On the positive side, Niko was 15/5/4/1/1 on 5-8fg, 3-5 3's and a team high +13

Right now with SGA you all are witnessing the exact thing we’re missing before we can have a legit hope of winning the championship. I’ve been saying it for years, was beating on the table for it after the finals with Dame. This team needs an elite guard, they need an elite explosive scoring guard. Someone who is going to get you 40 several times throughout a season.

Our best bet of getting that is with Mitchell coming up after dropping the ball on our other chances. If that scares you because it’ll cost Herro I implore you to watch basketball outside of the Heat, Mitchell is far, far superior. It’s not even close. Herro is a spark plug scoring guard likely best suited off the bench but can pass as a starter IF your starting lineup has the best fit to put Herro in the spots he should be in. Mitchell is an explosive lead guard capable of of averaging 30+ in the playoffs.

I just don’t see the Cavs dealing him this year. Everything your hearing about his availability is noise. Cavs are a playoff team and they have him locked up for another year.

Yea it is more than likely another year away at best unfortunately. IF he becomes available this year we have to be all over it but I don’t see it. Play it patient, last ditch effort with Jimmy when we acquire him and then we go full blown into the Bam/Mitchell timeline and work out creative ways to bring in a 3rd star.

What happened? Are they as Elite as they say(OKC)? Why are we talking about trades when Heat cant make any trades. Nothing significant at least, too close to that tax.

He always knows when to tank his value. I said sell high weeks ago

Been impressed with Chet for a long time. His attitude is top notch. gets pushed around yet still battles every play. Chet is all business, impressive really. He is a machine.

OKC looked impressive, but not unbeatable.
Garbage game by JRich and Duncan changed the momentum. Still don’t think they beat OKC short handed.

Best thing that’s happening right now. He’ll be even better when Butler is back and they are together

Maybe in OKC it is but not nationwide. We hear a ton how Nets were a failure. I put OKC in same category. The Harden thing was on them, if you want to contend you gotta be willing to go deep in luxury tax.
And even with Harden trade, they had a great roster and great pieces but never could put it together. Presti biggest mistake was not getting an elite coach and never seemed to have enough shooting. Durant and Westbrook should have won atleast one or gotten to one finals.

[3ammy3uck3ts]

We MIGHT be able to get by with Rozier or Murray. We need to be in on those guys if Mitchell isn’t happening this year.

[Johnny Fontane]

Tip your cap to the Thunder. They’re much improved
