Game 5: Heat @ Celtics: Wed May 1st @ 7:30pm - The gravel pit game

[KingDavid]

God I hope this is the end of small ball. Tired of this ****. Only worked because we had LeBron. When it was time to lock in during our finals appearance, we broke df down from that exhausting defense of being undersized everywhere.

Spo has not been happy with Jovic this series that’s for sure

Makes Tristan da Silva a prime target in the draft next year.

Watching this reminds me of 2008-2009 Heat with Wade and Bam playing the Wade role.

And I looked up the roster. Beasley started 78 games in 2009. It was the most on the time. I remember at the time saying Spo didn't give him a chance. Beasley just didn't live up the expectations of the 2nd pick. Not sure how you can say he didn't get a chance when he started 78 games. But I digress....

So do yall want bam to be aggressive or not, make up your **** mind

Yall will bitch either way it looks like

[contract]

Rough night for Herro lol only thing missing is shot in the nuts

I hope you meant shot TO the nuts.

Otherwise

[insfo]

Niko benched? Did he get hurt or did some of those bricks he threw up made Spo think Mills of all people is a better option??

I assume benched. Madness.

Jovic suck! He’s not ready

Maybe, but replacing him with Mills in an elimination game is pure madness

[wade44]

This is the coming to a head moment that has been looming all along with this core. If not for the fluke playoff run in 2020 this team would have been steered in the right direction long ago. Just been delaying the inevitable for for years

[KingDavid]

Ah that's why Patty is playing, no Jovic. What did he do to get benched? Patty has offered us literally nothing.

Jovic stink to the highest level. He doesn’t really contribute much. Sorry.

[nma305]

Tyler Herro has quit! What a pusss

What a disgrace! I take back trading him for a first round pick. Trade him for a penny

Thats what he is worth

[Wiltside]

I assume benched. Madness.

Jovic suck! He’s not ready

Maybe, but replacing him with Mills in an elimination game is pure madness

Has also been one of the few guys who have been able to space the floor for us.

[KingDavid]

This is the coming to a head moment that has been looming all along with this core. If not for the 2 fluke playoff runs this team would have been steered in the right direction long ago. Just been delaying the inevitable for too long now

And now down two picks

[Flash4thewin]

It wasn't herro for dame. It was herro plus other pieces.
I'm not sure anyone would argue that jrue is worth more than herro unless you just want to go strictly youth movement.

Herro is also looking worse because he's being asked to do too much and he just isn't that kind of guy. I think all of us accept that by now and the hope is Riley does also. Herro can still improve and I think he will but he's not going to ever be an all star or even a fringe all star.

He needs to accept his role as a Clarkson bogdanivic Jamal Crawford type dude. There's value in that, silly saying there isn't. But his ceiling, if he gets there, is top 45-55 nba player range. Herro rebounds well for a guard, has good playmaking and vision, shoots great from 3 historically and 90% FT shooter. Dude is good. Just isn't great or anything super valuable. Would never expect multiple 1sts for him.

Basically you are tying to sugar coat poop and say it’s tasty. If Herro best possible outcome is 6th man remember we are paying him near 30 mil a year. That’s an epic fail. Remember the Warriors needed to pay a first round pick to get rid of Pool, that’s where Herro stands. So trying to make Herro part of any trade for a star will continue to get laughter from opposing teams. Maybe next year he raises his value.

Tyler Herro has a lot of negatives, but he's never gotten himself punched in the mouth by a team leader.

I’m reminded of that fake tweet a few weeks back. Something about Herro having a horrible game, yelling at Butler, swings a punch which also misses and Butler said something like 30 missed shots lol.

[insfo]

This team currently on the floor would struggle to beat G league teams. It's wild we are throwing this out in an elimination game in the playoffs. We better be making major changes next year

[DayofMourning]

That jump shot by Caleb hurt to watch. How many hitches does one MF need?

[Bishop45]

Bam on track for a 40 shot night!

The definition of empty stats.

Hard to get him a high scoring game in the flow of the offense, his bag just doesn’t have any pockets. His ceiling on offense will likely depend on his 3pt frequency

Trade the pick and get some legit help in here

Yep and Lebron was Bams size and then we had Bosh at 6'11 and guys like Birdman...this has been extreme BS

He wanted an offense tailored to his strengths like in KS.

[Wiltside]

Bam gone cold
