1/4/24 8pm: Jazz at Heat

[twix2500]

There you go Jaquez. Play aggressive with a scoring mindset from here on out

[oreon]

This level of effort and focus is the worst I’ve seen from this team in a long time. The outside noise is getting to them and fuxkin with the focus imo.

How could it not. There’s a major human factor that many seem to ignore. Like the idea of holding Jimmy hostage sitting out till next year is one of the most out of touch asinine ideas. That’s the ultimate morale killer. Trade him and move on

The Heat FO are the masters of waiting too long to trade guys. Didn't trade Dion, JJ, Caleb, Gabe or Struss and lost them for nothing. Didn't trade Butler in the offseason when Philly and GSW were interested. No team has squandered as many opportunities to replenish their assets when they should have as the Heat.

Can someone explain to me the genius decision to not run with the same starting lineup that got us the win in Houston? Are we showcasing Terry to get his value up because it’s not going to help us win or his value lol

[oreon]

They all need to fined.

Yep. Riley, the Arisons and Ellisburg.

[3ammy3uck3ts]

This was a fluke, if they’re horrible this road trip then it might be time to panic. I have a feeling they won’t be, also get the Jimmy trade done tomorrow

[powerball1373]

Don't worry fellas, this was expected and nothing to overreact about. I mean what do you expect when a bunch of single young rich dudes finally get a night in Utah after spending most of their time in Miami? I'm surprised they even showed up to the arena on time.

[Enso]

It starts with Herro and Bam. The quitter is gone, they're going to have to get over that. But these two are going to have to play with more force offensively.

And Spo is going to have to re-evaluate these rotations

Bam is starting to get past the point of concern, might need a sports psychologist to check this out

Yeah it’s weird

[Vertical Limit]

Man. Bam just doesnt have it right now. No idea why this regression occurred, but its a horrible sign going forward.

I said yesterday in the reg season thread he has peaked and there is no further ascension for Bam..

There is not a single untradeable player on this team. There is no Wade, Lebron or Bosh. Hell there isnt a Zo or Timmy.

If a significant offer is made for Herro or Bam, im listening.

Last year we couldnt get a protected first for Herro.. hell portland didnt care to have him and didnt want his contract.. his contract was viewed by the majority as a terrible one.. portland didnt care for him in a Dame package.. we need to sell high while we can. He finally has one “great” season.. a season where we are forcing touches on him. herro has been more unreliable and unavailable than Butler ..

[twix2500]

It was good to finally see all the young guys get good minutes. If these trades go down, they need to be ready to play from here on out.

If we get a real PG, Bam game will become easier.

[SerialChiller]

As I was saying…….dont do this lol

We’ll be fine, get some help in there and silence the outside noise.

This should be a sign for the FO to get this done sooner than later.

Ethan on 5 reasons said Miami are now getting offers, nothing they like so far but he also said they trade will probably happen faster than it's currently being reported by the mainstream media.

He’s just piggybacking off Shan’s report last night on espn, he doesn’t really know. We gotta stop giving a dude who beat his elderly dad a platform just because hes good at piggybacking and manipulating “news”

Now this I gotta hear!?

[Bishop45]

Jokic is too good, if there was a way to get a decent asset and get Jimmy to Denver, it needs to happen

[twix2500]

Spo is going to have to change his plan and come up with a new coaching strategy. Without Jimmy the dynamics is completely different.

That's not an acceptable response for how bad he's been. Barely looks like a starter some nights, nonetheless our All Star

Yup. Need to get one in this Jimmy deal

Def' a fluke, but we've been having a lot of those types of games lately to not be discomforted

[dolphinatik]

The rebounding is a major issue. not Worried about all the 3's the Jazz were hitting. Last game was deflating and it carried over. I actually didnt mind the 4th quarter as the young guys played with a sense of urgency. Spo would do well letting the young guys play their unselfish style and sprinkling in the vets until the entire team learns to play loose and and a team again.

No never saw that thanks that's crazy!

[Wiltside]

When the dust settles on this season, it has not been Spo’s finest hour. Rotations have been a mess, alienated Jimmy in the offense, Bam has become an afterthought and we haven’t even talked about the Detroit timeout fiasco.
