If he’s 0/5 in the 1st half, and hits 5/5 in the 2nd half, then that’s .500, but automatic when it matters nerd.
Almost isn’t 100 lol

I'm so sick of the heat. They need to bow to the almighty and capitulate.

Without superstars forcing their way to Miami to **** hot Latina they got zero title.

Can we for once not make it hard on our self and get a clean series over and done with quickly.

Heat have been in the perfect situation the last 3 years. If they win Spo is an adjustment god, if they lose Heat are overmatched.

Yeah exactly. They are making it hard for themselves. If we win the next two games, then losing game 2 would be a positive. Better now than later.

Bam’s low post game can beat us if the game is close and we let him be comfortable. Bam’s mid range from inside the free throw line is so good that its almost automatic. Unless our guys plays physical with him early on, and he gets tired in the 4th, then he misses. Guys like Tillman has 6fouls to use just to rough him up.

Bam is shooting .515 from 3-10 this season, .500 in the playoffs so far. If you are missing half your shots you are not automatic. It's a literal coin flip. Miami had 75 FGA in game 2. If all of them were Bam mid range from inside the free throw line and he made them at his 2024 playoff rate, Miami would've scored 25 fewer points.
*addendum* If Miami's entire offense was Bam shooting midrange from free throw in, they would have ORtg of 100 if they never turn the ball over or get o-rebound. You have to go back to the 10 win 76ers to find a team worse than that.


Lol you nerds are taking it literally and seriously haha.
Above .500 is almost automatic. Plus the games we lost to the heat, Bam made most of his shots in those areas. Clutch shots even. If the game is close, that bam mid range is their go to play. If he’s tired by the 4th, most likely he misses those. Better get physical with Bam to start.


I don't understand why anyone would argue what is and isn't automatic.

Above 50% is as good as it's gonna get for any player in any league in any decade.

Shooting 51% from the midrange is godawful offense. It is the Process Sixers level offense. It's hilarious watching people quaking in their boots because Bam shoots slightly above 50% from 3-10 feet, something he's done only one season in his career.

Are you running around blaming Tatum for our loses when he's shooting sub 40%?

Cause I read he been going that alot in the playoffs the last few years.

I think making half your shots is pretty damn good.

They lost some of their key benches from last year, and have to rely on rookies for their bench. Herro missed a lot of games as well.

They lost Gabe Vincent who stinks and Strus. Jaquez is better than Strus and they play better without Herro. 1 seed in 2022 and back to back 8th seeds with basically the same roster.

Guess we found out the Master Plan Kevin Love was talking about. Get a Crew Chief from Miami assigned for the game.

That’s why we need to blow them out. Joe should just tell his guys to expect not to get calls, and not get frustrated. Lets see if JT gets frustrated
