Feels like Robinson shoots better when the shot is more difficult

If they trade Jimmy, the team becomes unwatchable

No real sustained playmaking forces Herro to play on-ball and thus shortcircuits all of the strides he’s made this season thus far

Needed some better 3 point shooting but OKC basically nuked Duncan on defense.

They love talking about Hartensteins rebounds. Bout the 20th time theyve mentioned that.

Wouldn’t have minded seeing Ware on Hartenstein tonight allowing Bam to guard Williams

I knew Ware would be slower to come along, but sometimes itd be nice to see what he could do just playing some minutes.

Can't be mad. They tried but they were just overmatched. Magic game tho is winnable even without Butler. They dont have their two best players so no excuses for Heat

When Jimmy got ruled out might as well, nothing to lose at that point

Really want a maxed out JB performance to peak interest. Got the extreme opposite of that.

The Heat need every player to defend well. Having negative defenders like Rozier and Duncan playing big minutes and not hitting shots really hurts.

Definitely fishy. Trying to divert attention from his ankle issues.

We really whiffed on bumping his value tonight.

He may be trying to play through an illness but the added rolled ankle made him decide not to come back. It'll be interesting if anyone else ends up sick for tomorrow's game if he tried to play under the weather.

I repeat…….Butler needs to wear ankle braces! How many gm’s he wants to continue to miss considering his age & yrs are limited in the league. We don’t need him missing anymore gm’s as it is.
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
