Damn nice win Bam OP killing it! I gotta start checking in more on the schedule and dates, didn't think they played again today. Missed 2 out of the last 3 big wins! Football kind of took my attention. But Herro finally becoming what we all expected before his early promise started to fade. Great to see that bounce back and better than ever level of play. Keep it up young gun!

What happened to Mitchell? Did the new Gabe shut him down, pretty rough numbers at a box score glance.

Make it make sense 3ammy!


Dru is on a 2 way, Herros on a near max for him!!! Dru has played to his contract already, Herro has to show he’s here to stay, you’ve seen how this goes the last 5 years!

THIS!

Herro was supposed to become this years ago. Instead, every season, injuries derailed him. He's an incredibly frustrating player. I'm encouraged, but I was encouraged last year too, and then he missed a crap ton of games and sucked when he came back. Stay healthy and keep balling when it matters the most. Then he'll earn my apology,

Dru Smith is a borderline prospect whose work ethic off the court is turning him into a real NBA player, There is a massive difference.

Quite frankly, if Herro keeps this up and gets averages to 25+ and Heat stays in 4/5 seed range, we need to move beyond the “Is Herro an All Star?” talk and start having a national conversation on whether he deserves MVP.
For a long time it gave me nightmares,witnessing an injustice like that.It’s a constant reminder of just how unfair this world can be.I can still hear them taunting him, Silly Rabbit tricks are for kids.I mean why couldn’t they just give him some cereal?

First and foremost welcome back, secondly if Herro keeps this up I was gladly wrong.

I’m sure I could dig up a **** ton of nonsense on here about Bam if I cared enough

Exactly lol I’m not even hating on the dude I’m simply saying let’s see him keep it up and stay healthy and let’s see him impact the game when it matters most in the playoffs. He’s been ass or unavailable every year since his rookie season, let’s see him prove it this year

Now that Herro is playing well and his fans are coming out of hiding can we get the return of THE Harlem Ball?!

Herro is playing above his value right now. NO other Heat player is. Hopefully as the season progresses the main pieces on this team are playing at a Gold value, it would mean we are ready to highly compete.

Ya'll need to stop acting like Herro was trash for 5 years. Years 1-3 we saw him make a jump season to season. And he was good in the playoffs in the bubble. Years 4 and 5 was were where he hit a wall especially in playoffs. And if it took him 2 seasons of struggling to figure it out, I'll take that. He's only 24, he has a long way to go in his career

Exactly this^

THIS AGAIN! Herro showed promise right off the bat then fizzled out with his play and constant injuries. He obviously had his critics myself included and not to mention the entire trade market at his salary, but he's looking good! I've been heaping praise on him so far this year and have been impressed with everything from his maturity and professionalism off the court to his greatly improved play and ability to maintain it for A STRETCH!

He's still only just about to turn 25 and even us critics have always known he's had this skillset. It's just would he ever manage to reach his potential as a scorer? Which to justify the money required improved shot IQ and general availability. Additionally he's seemingly improved as a playmaker and even tries to at least commit to giving effort and being better defensively.

Most of us doubters main issue was could he get to this point in time for Jimmy's timeline and that's not really wrong. We tried to contend but he wasn't ready to support Jimmy as a scorer yet when he needed him either both efficiency or health wise. Even attitude wise. He's super young that's ok but we paid him to be there, Riley can't decide if we are looking to the youth or giving Jimmy our all while he's here. It's a bit late now, but damn it's nice to see!

He's a young scorer that had injury and efficiency issues plus forced into too much playmaking leading to many TOs and sucked at defense while making 30M. Those are facts but he's now turned all that around for a stretch and I hope to all that is holy it's the new him with nothing but an upward trajectory from here! Last thing I want to see is an improved ability to get to the line and finish through contact inside. He's made great strides, but is only one more big injury or cold stretch away from having his main past issues resurface again fast. But I hope he manages to do this right through the playoffs! Time to trade Jimmy imo not him anymore lol.

Return to Miami Heat
