I try to erase that memory frm my mind forever. I remember dealing w/ the Beasley tards on here :nonono:

NBA doesn’t owe us anything, especially after the big-3 circus colluding to form a superteam here which the league allowed.
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

Spoelstra imo is correct to not play Ware together with Adebayo and he is correct to split their minutes.

The problem is that there is no pf with size who can hit 3pts for the heat.
Maybe Jovic is a big absence with his size skills and shooting at pf position.

But in general I dont ge it how they cannot win a game.

This is what i’ve been saying. The Ware/Bam combo was cute for a minute but it’s not going to work. Bam needs a stretch 4/5 with him on the court. Jovic is by far the best pairing with him. This is why it’s in the best interest this offseason to either draft a stud stretch 4 or go after Lauri at a somewhat discounted price. Ware is still valuable to us as an elite backup to Bam. He could play a Derek Lively type of role for us and give us an elite front court rotation for many years. Ware can play spot minutes with Bam during big matchup purposes.

Ainge doesn't do discounts. Ainge is going to want 5 unprotected first round picks for Markkanen.

He’ll always play hardball but I think we can get something done that’s reasonable considering now Lauri is saddled with a big long term deal.

I didn’t watch the game, was there a reason Bam only had 7 shot attempts?

Clippers did a good job denying his comfort spots. This allowed Herro to have open space to have a decent game. Credit the Clippers game plan.

Spo doesn’t value his stars like other teams so he spams offense for role players all game and then wonders why we have near a league worst offense despite him not letting go of the rope. He also completely forgot that Bam routinely dominates the Clippers every time they match up
