Dolphins were here at one point in time, then 40 plus years later no championship lol

Heat better look at it self in the mirror lol

They scored at least 8 off this in the 4th alone

If Lowry isn’t going to attempt to score or make a play in the clutch Gabe needs to be playing over him for defense. Worked perfect against the Jazz

Also, the Lakers are not known to be an elite 3 point shooting team, why not go beyond the schematic computerized program and try O Robinson together with Bam and Butler to counter the switch. I mean Robinson is not slow footed and similar to Bam can cover some ground. You’re getting killed in too many games already, with the switch creating a ridiculous mismatch. Why not?

It’s now 50 years since they won a championship. Last championship for the fins was 1973. Wow. Yeah the Heat need some introspection.

I went online to see how badly we beat a Lebron-less Laker's and wasn't surprised when I saw that we lost. That is a summary of the season.

Team flat out showed no urgency and we’re outhustled every single possession. Didn’t deserve it, I guess bam and Jimmy should’ve said fuxk it and did more. They didn’t. Make trades asap

I agree Spo needs to find a way to fix this. Lowry should not be caught under the basket so often like this

Make trades? Nearly half the rotation is built upon 2-way players and guys that were out of the league. Martin, Strus, Vincent, Dedmon or O.Robinson and of course the 90 million dollar 2-way player with only 1 strength who is currently out or adding a needed center who was out of the league (Dedmon). PLEASE, CALL OUT THE FO FOR THE LACK OF TALENT ON THIS ROSTER!!!!! The same FO who made Wade leave (which actually worked out since he recruited Butler to Miami) and limited the roster after making the finals for the failed 2021 plan that netted them...Lowry. It's up to the FO what talent is on this roster and they've decided that getting 2-way players to play rotation minutes and not adding a 15th man to the roster (to just develop) while the 14th man is a 40 year old mascot is the way to go. The FO really needs to be called out way more then Spoelstra. When people bitch about a 2-way player (O.Robinson) needing to play over a non rotation player(Dedmon) THAT IS ON THE FO FOR THE PISS POOR TALENT WHERE THAT'S EVEN A LEGIT OPTION.

We like to give the Lakers wins to appease the commissioner. Jimmy hasn't been the same since that Mexican diarrhea incident.

Mexico wins again.

Glad I didn’t waste my time with this game. Guess we’re going to lose every trap game we play this season

"third straight 30-point game for Adebayo, who has hit 61% of his shots and grabbed 34 rebounds in that stretch"

Bam has been destroying much of the league. He gave it to the Clippers big time last game.

Gotta get more from Dipo and Herro. 40 percent shooting is not going to cut it in an actual, meaningful game.

I think the most interesting thing is when Lebron left, Pat told him he would never win a ring again. It’s starting to look like Pat will never win a ring at this rate. Time for some soul searching.

Benching Orlando Robinson who's a head down hard working rookie in favor of the bumbling Dedmon last night was beyond appalling.

Man you are so spot on with this. The front office has been a compete chit show. Small ball this year has been a complete abomination. They went back to what didn't work in the first place which was to go back to being smaller at the 4. They had solved the mistakes with Crowder and PJ only to see them walk after the year and completely revert back to when they tried Iguodala, Harkless, DJJ, Ariza, and now it's Martin and Strus at the 4. Absolute and utter insanity.

Return to Miami Heat
