Re: Heat @ OKC - 12th Feb 2025 - 8pm
It was a fun game. There is a lot of positive to take away. OKC is clearly the superior team and toward the end got a lot benefit of the doubt on some calls. Heat showed their youth and inexperience. When not getting calls and other team going on run they got rattled. Teams like that tend to blow leads to better teams. Still there a lot of good to see from most of the game.

Nah it is about Herro, you wouldn’t have commented if I didn’t say something about him. You didn’t say a word when I was **** on Niko.
Bam struggled offensively to start the season, I’ve never denied that.
Niko is having an objectively horrendous game. Herro has struggled this quarter but before that he was fine, albeit not as involved as usual. Your comment was obviously to prop Bam up and blame someone else for the offense.
Actually had zero to do with Bam whether you believe me or not lol. It’s in response to people acting like Herro is the savior of the offense after we scored 85 last game (86 in the Nets the game before when we had Herro). I mean just go read the thread, you were there. People were pretending he’d come back and just completely backpack the offense, we’re a bottom 5 offense since January 1st, our problems go much deeper than just Herro going out.
Honestly wasn’t even a direct shot at Herro either if I’m keeping it a buck. Moreso pointing to the overall flaws of the offense. We have amazing complementary pieces and Herro and Bam I believe can absolutely be the 2nd and 3rd scoring options on a championship team. You add that clear number 1 guy on offense and we’ll take off.

This is what our 3rd 4 quarter without scoring 10 in the last few weeks. When do you put the blame on the coach. This is 2025 how is that even possible

Unfortunately, its not easy finding that guy. You see how its been for the Heat 3ammy, they try to get one of those “guys” but its not easy. They may have to get lucky and draft one. The offense has been an issue for some years now.

I dunno amigo....there was looonnng stretches the Bam-Niko-Ware interior rotations was causing chaos. Between the 3 of them you have a solid 2 man rotation on the inside.
I think Mitchell-Bam-Niko-Ware are absolute keepers. Stack scorers in the other slots.

What more did Spo need to see before he realized it might just not be Nikos night? Missing everything and not even exaggerating he was being attacked every time on defense whether they were going towards the basket or moving the ball catching him lacking defending the 3

It is a shot against Herro. Herro being great doesn't take anything from Bam. Herro has the highest offensive ceiling on the team. When he has it going I think he push the team to a 6th seed. Question was could Herro do it for a full season. If he's up and down then this team probably ends up as the 9th seed. Doesn't seem like he can sustain it but we'll see post break

I see the excuses and glass half full responses to the loss but come on guys, we were up 21. This had to be a win.

Why ? Butler was a massive loss for a mediocre team. Everyone should have expected this. Against elite teams they are going to look bad.As I keep on saying if you are mad its on you. This team is bad so fans should have 0 expectations. The rest of the season is to see how the young guys can handle more responsibility then in the summer you figure out a direction.
32-8 in any quarter is unacceptable. This is after the same **** happened against the NETS the other night, what was it...29-9 in the fourth?

OKC has been my pick for the ring this year.  They're stacked and Holgrem hasn't been playing.  They just need him and everyone healthy playoff time and I don't think anybody is stopping them.

Idk, I don't have a problem with Spo sticking with Niko (unlike Rozier). It's part of the growing pains of having young guys - sometimes you just have to let them play through their rough nights and hope they learn from it. Ultimately, who cares? We aren't a better team than OKC anyway, even if we managed to beat them tonight.

They are definitely hard to get and we always keep shooting ourselves in the foot when we do try to get one by trying to fleece these teams in deals

He is so inconsistent. He just gets choppy and wild and you dont know what the hell to expect.
When hes burning 3s, hes amazing. When he looks like Duncan on an off day, not so much. If the shots arent falling, you cant be a foul magnet and not contributing with positive plays. Enough of the ass splashes and goofy ****.

Ok sure if you all view it as a shot at Herro you can take it that way, I personally don’t care but that comment had 0 to do with Bam and my overall point still stands.

3rd quarter was really weird, we weren’t going to Bam and Tyler. Ran basically no actions for them and then basically just begged them to bail us out in the 4th after giving away all momentum
