Team has to pick a struggle. Can't be small and still make scoring the basketball look like a chore for extended periods of time every game. At least the horrible rebounding is supported by a lack of size. But when shooters can't shoot, they lose all purpose. When our undersized players can't break down their man, what is their purpose? Theres supposed to be a trade-off.

Doesn't help that we can't stop a fly at the rim and must constantly over help. I know everyone's down on Jimmy this year, but this is not all entirely him. Hero and Bam are young and should be able to handle the bulk of the regular season load by now. In whichever ways are possible for their particular skill sets. They need to figure it out.

Yup inconsistent. We beat them last game and we lost to them today. The inconsistency has to stop..

i know Bam is making some 3s this season but FG% 42.6 overall is bad. Not putting all the blame on him with this loss but its a concern this season.

This team stinks. No answers on this current roster. Maybe Keshad and Christopher add some life into this team but damn that goes to show how bad our roster is and how bad a trade needs to be made. Maybe after the first contract trade cycle passes on December 15th we see some movement.

The Heat are playing the smallest rotation and now have become the 2nd slowest pace team in the NBA

We have to be honest. Since Jimmy last return from injury the entire offense has changed and it has slowed down to his comfort. The offense cant cater to Jimmy anymore he is too damn old.

The Heat are heading to having to make a decision to trade 1 if not two of the big three.

A blowout tomorrow may not be something they can recover from

We badly needed to trade Butler during the offseason.

Offseason? More like now and try to get anything we can possibly get for him. Won’t be any type of haul either due to age and contract situation.

I was talking about last offseason, hell even the one before once the Dame thing fell though. Now for sure as well but like you said getting a good haul isn't going to happen because of us waiting too long unfortunately.

I can’t see 2 but for the first time of this build
Jimmy is most likely. He’s going to opt out and become a free agent and Pats not going to want to pay him and we’ll likely just lose him for nothing. Bams a lifer unless he decides he wants to leave and Herro is finally playing good and were not ones to cash in when value is higher. 2 seems very progressive, especially for this front office

I’ve never wanted to trade Jimmy, I’ve always wanted to add that extra guy they needed to get over the top (Dame, Mitchell, KD, etc.) but we just haven’t been able to get anything done. It really may be time

Yeah we couldn't or wouldn't get the piece but we wouldn't commit to the youth and getting picks either. Just straddled the fence with no clear path forward and continue to do so. Run it back, Run it back, Run it back...

I could definitely see two. Now I do not think Riley will be here. I think this is it for Riley once this big three ends.

Is Zo being prepped for that role? I could see Spo doing it but I think he lives for the competition right now

Pat Riley realizing he may have misspoke when calling Bam a franchise cornerstone and giving him $50+ million a year to be a goofy Draymond Green.

Nothing bad to be compared to a Draymond Green tbh. Difference is Draymond had the luxury of playing with HoF beast players :lol:

Poor Bambino :cry:

Didn't watch the game but read the comments. Going to be a tough next 8 for sure. Bad attitude and all Jimmy is or best, professional and most consistent player. The rest of the company men are doing what they are told. Bam has no lie part game because he is told to guard the top of the key. Same hairnet with bosh and Shaq but they eventually complained and fought tier easy back in the paint. Benching jovic wicked the life out of the team. Going through the motions collecting checks paint with no passion. Herro should make a point and only pass for a game or two. I'll be watching the impending doom tonight.
