They’re gonna come out and say he had an injury for sure. Either way it’s on him horrible game he was looking to pass the whole game .

Role players showed up there as only so much they could do.

Because he knows he would’ve played better than no show butler

Denver was the better team by far, no need to take shots at our players or team. We had a great underdog run and now the wheels came off.

Congrats to Jokic and Denver

Sick of Jimmy heroball bullsh*t.

IT'S DAME TIME. I don't care if we have to trade picks in the 2030s to get him. Move hell and Earth to bring him here.

His number 1 option days are over. We watched it happen live. It's not for a lack of talent, he's just too injury prone to be relied on at this stage.

He can take his time. It’s a short flight to Portland.

The team went further than I thought they would, If I'm going to be honest. It was fun, but they (mostly Jimmy) seemed to run out of juice against Boston. And really, I rather see them lose 4-1 in the finals than be the first team in NBA history to lose leading 3-0. Curious what changes we'll make this offseason, can't see them trying to run it back again. But hell, stranger things have happened.

He looked disinterested at multiple times in the series. It's the same reason he doesn't get regular season recognition.

And Bam after having 14 to start, finished with 20.

Completely went away from him in the 4th.

I don't remember when the hell it was exactly, but at one point Bam got the ball up by the 3 pt line and it was just him and Joker out on him. Everyone else was on the opposite side of the court. Joker can't stay in front of him. That should have been an automatic 2. But Bam didn't even consider taking it to the rack. He waited there for I don't remember who to come around and take the hand-off. I almost put my head through the wall.

I don't usually question Spo, but other than the Zeller minute, why tf didn't be challenge the Lowry foul on Jokic? Wtf was he saving it for?

This team needs big changes. Not saying trade Jimmy, but big changes and additions need to be made.

On a final note, our three point shooting once again abandoned us. We shot 25.7% from three.

For some reason we shot the poorest vs the two worst defensive teams that we faced, the Knicks and the Nuggets.

that was over a month ago..

You ever played sports? Not jabbing, just asking.

yes, football. not basketball though. dont tell me jimmy was hobbled when i see hm out there running and jumping. if he can do that, he can get a shot and play harder.

This will be interesting to learn about too. I don't think he was happy to be held out, despite ppl making up things about him choosing not to play.

Same, the man’s 35— not many pages in his legacy left. A great legacy that he’s made for himself

I'm gonna call cap.

Other than some questionable rotations (Zeller in, no Herro) Spo's game plan had us in prime position to win the whole game. Just could never capitalize. The offense simply was not there.

Seriously.. people are blaming this on Spoelstra? We are the eighth seeded team that beat the Bucks and Celtics, went to the NBA Finals and fought our asses off in the elimination game.

Kept the best offense in the league to 104 points per game, they were scoring 115 to 130 points a game against everyone in the western playoffs.

Every fan here knew, we never had offensive talent. We relied on Caleb, vincent and strus and robinson to have some career playoff highs throughout the postseason to get to this point. 4 guys thay didnt get drafted.

Overall a very successful season by the players and coaching staff. Far exceeded expectations. They made me proud to be a Heat fan and Spoelstra showed the world with this limited squad that he is THE man.

Short offseason, we have to make some decisions.

Lowry and Dipo expirings gets us 39 million we can trade to a team trying to get rid of star players. We got other assets. We are in a good position to have a very big offseason and get back to the Finals.

Still riding with Jimmy but 2 years in a row he's limped to the finish line. Need someone to take the load off him.

He did what he had to do in the first half. Can't expect him to guard the best player in the league while scoring 30 in this series. I would say Bam is easily the MVP of the series for the Heat.

Unfortunately the game is two halves not one. 4 quarters, not one (Jimmy).

Exactly. Going to the 4th down and on the road against a better team is a massive disadvantage. Heat needed a lead going to the 4th and thats where Butler's performance hurt us. Other wise you are counting on everything going right and one offensive board like that the Brown one could cost the game.
