MIEMI HEATS V. PELI, 3/22/24 8PM!!!!

[AirP.]

Miami's missed 33 of 44 3s so far, not really sure why they've decided to take so many 3s on a night they can't hit from 3.

Spoelstra encourages them to keep firing through their collective slumps. E.Reid said it during the game about this.

There can be some nuance to that, the night they're horrible they put up 48 3s, how many times this year have they put up that many shots? They missed 35 of 48 3s, get yourself on track and then start chucking again.

that was disgusting

op??? give me some copium to help me weather the storm

This is Sporon’s doing. Any other coach plays the hot group until it comes to a stop, then the backups have a job to keep it competitive. What this guy does is he kills the momentum and it takes major effort to get back. Always the same data compute crap with this coach.

I dont like the look of the team at times....


but....


I don't know that I have seen a coach that can overcome their two biggest stars going Missing In Action as often as ours do.

Far too often the main dudes are acting like they are the cherry on top, when in fact they are the actual Sunday.You ain't getting paid to be a sprinkle....

Jimmys all talk lol mfer almost never backs up what he says. Had like 2 shot attempts the entire 1st half after talking all that ****.

Bams injured, he shouldn’t have played but if we’re going to have Patty and Caleb out there jacking damn near 15 3s a game then I want Bam shooting 6 at minimum. Juno start his progression.

[MorbidHEAT]

Sometimes I really hate that I love this team so much.

Sorry OP not gonna go through the thread, that was a tough loss.

I'm guessing y'all have talked about how Niko keeps getting punished/benched for the flaws of others?? Like we can't seem to score if our lives depend on it, and the Pels go on a run. TO! Great, good plan. Insert Swider, even better as we finally have a someone who is a threat from deep instead of just Niko. You'd think Jagsmith would be the guy to get pulled, but no!! It's Niko, who was our only reliable scorer till then.

NUTS!!!!

[marson]

Pels remembered what Jimbo said

[3ammy3uck3ts]

I knew Bam with a bad back clamped Zion but he only had 4 points? I didn’t realize it was that bad. No ingram, Zion completely shut down, and we still lose by 30

[Pokuokic]

If Bam is not injury free he should not be playing, Thomas Bryant is more than good enough to start for a few games here and there, I don't understand how him and Jimmy get so few shots up without even being doubled most the time. They got smoked on the end of the back to back as well. Calebs first stint to me set the tone for the game (worst game he has ever played?). Also stop starting Patty Mills start JJJ or Highsmith or Martin.

Patty Mills shooting 17%. He must be shooting lights out in warm-ups to get the green light that he does

Caleb Patty and JJJ (who has been awful for awhile now) destroyed all the momentum we had built with the starting lineup and the Pelicans never looked back after that

Niko was fire until the timer rang on Spo’s laptop, took him out and brought in the super scrubs. Ok so Caleb is not a super scrub, but for a few games has been playing like one, at such point early on Spo should’ve sub Caleb and inserted Niko. Although Niko attempted a few wild shots when inserted back, but at that point they were trailing and everyone was either crap or afraid to score while passing it to Jovic, so he started forcing it.

Spo should’ve kept the effective unit on the floor until it required a change, but instead he subs the unit when playing at a peak level. That move kills me every time, and it sure killed any chance of continuation.

The Heat don't know or refuse to milk the hot player unless its Jimmy, Bam countless times this season gets completely frozen out when hot but they relentless go to him when he can't make a thing, It's just low IQ and bad coaching at times. When you watch Denver if one of MPJ is hot (he's been on a insane run) or Gordon (they will throw it to him on mismatches) or Murray they get the ball early and often.

[Shewasfly]

Didn't watch the game but not surprised.

Its almost as if we need another scorer in the lineup besides Jimmy to relieve pressure off him. Who would have thought

Im 100% certain that our coaching choices will lead to a shortened career for Bam. He exerts a ton of energy on defense and those reps will take time off of his clock. I think Spo is a great coach, but nobody is perfect and putting unbalanced, small ball lineups is a fatal flaw of his.

That's called maximizing your potential. I know this might come off as condescending, but not meant that way at all! I mean, you are saying that we reduce the 1 thing that he's good at, that he's made a name for himself at. That's the perimeter defense. We love to crow about how he's clamping down on players, but we can't also turn around and complain that he's being asked to do too much. Do you really think he'll be the player he is if he hangs around at the rim on defense and takes 3 pointers all day?
