Hopefully Sacramento will be able to develop him correctly

Not disappointed in the team. Played the best team in the NBA all season. Keep working and getting better.

Its actually a good thing that we don't play again until Saturday tbh. Tyler clearly needs to rest that knee a bit. Pretty clear offense is nonexistent without him. Also gives Spo more time to work with Bam and Ware on that lineup. Its not a surprise for teams anymore, so they are starting to game plan for it more.

Game shifted immediately. Miami has a great need for another high level offensive talent.


Not just that, he didn't get back into the game till there was less than 6 minutes left. That was very poor game management from Spo. I know he doesn't play-the-hot-hand, but Tyler was just coming off 8 straight points to finish the 3rd, and then you sit him for 6+ straight minutes till the 2nd half of the final quarter?? Baffling really :banghead:

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Rozier's 22 points on 13 shots. Not a bad night at all when so many others were struggling. Hoping these last few games aren't just a mirage and we can expect some level of efficient scoring from him going forward. Atleast for the next week until the trade deadline, after which I'm hoping he's scaring a different fanbase!

He played the entire third quarter, so he needs to rest at some point. They’ve got to make it through the minutes without Tyler offensively.

Playing zone against a team full of shooters with only one guy who can break you down off the dribble is lunatic level coaching

Rebounding and lack of ballpressure killed us. Extremely lackluster defense from just about everyone.

Great gm to learn frm & improve for our youngens vs a vry in sync Cavs squad who are like 3 seasons ahead of us development wise as a team. Long term we get better as s result!
If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

These dudes came out with a playoff-level game plan and intensity for our 500 squad during a developmental season in the midst of peak Jimmy drama and experimenting with new lineups. Is what it is.

Was a winnable game. The lineups were questionable for sure. That is a team we can beat. Terry was on a mission. One thing I noticed that I couldn't understand was spo had bam and ware at the top of the key on offense. Ya they were playing but not as bigs.

We lost by 20 points. :lol:

It was Cleveland's sixth wire-to-wire win of the season - the first of those that came on the road. Miami never led, the fourth time this season that's happened to the Heat.

This game is exactly why it scares me if the Heat trade for veterans like Bruce Brown you know Spo would revert to small the first chance he got, he always reverts to zone D or small ball or both. The Bam at C and Brown at PF is what would happened 100% if they got a player like that

Return to Miami Heat
