Herro and Mitchel the best players again but the whole team played as a unit.

Wiggins will step up in the next games, I guarantee it.
He was out of rhythm with all these injuries but he fought in both play in games with 2 20 pt games and gave it all.

This game was the most difficult.
If they lost it, that would be a disaster. Some players would have been traded.
The players where under pressure.

I expect Miami to compete against Cavalliers and I think they can elliminate them.

I think the Heat have the tools to go to east finals against Celtics.

vagelis optimism is what I need in my daily life.

Yes I prefer to be optimistic but I think Heat have a good roster and a very good coach.
The team gets better every game, they find chemistry and they will have a starter back in the next games with Jovic return, so a better rotation.

It was not easy to win 2 play in games away.
They played under the pressure of failure and they succeed.

They will play without pressure now and they will play better I think.

He wasnt very good in previous years, but he definitely improved a ton. Still would like him to get a little bigger.

Oh no doubt. He used to be a "no no no, yes!" type of guy who only really looked to get his and kill momentum. You could see him start to turn the corner last season before he got hurt, but he maintained that growth this year without suffering any injuries, and it was great to see.

If he can get more muscle he will be able to better sustain those hits driving to the basket and able to finish even better. The main difference i see is his composure when selecting his shots.

I don't know how much bigger he can realistically get without getting a little help from D-Wade (don't kill me Heat fans who think he's all natural).

A new dynasty starts now. Max Davion Mitchell.

Everyone on the general board crying that he's the next Heat guy to get overpaid, but to be honest he's the first one in recent years I hope we bite the bullet on and overpay ourselves. Maybe premature but there's something about him, feels like he is what he is and this isn't just a fluke.

He had some good plays and played decent. I think the back to back turnovers at one point colored everyones opinion of him tonight.

He's averaging 20-9-6-1-1 +17.5 in the play ins while being 1st or 2nd in every category. That's a jimmy impact boxscore. People were clumping him in with rozier and Robinson before this game, it's just gotten worse. It's just surprising is all.

As soon as the trade was made, I predicted that heat fans would turn on him. Now to go play the lottery:).

It’ll be interesting to see the market for Mitchell, from my understanding there isn’t much cap space to go around

I've been pretty pleased with Wiggins. Have fans actually turned on him or is this player-fan fiction?

If Durant was 10 years younger man I'd love to get him. He's still a beast but like Paul George showed this year, at this age stars can become role players at any second.

Yeah there won’t be anyone overpaying in this tax penalty era. We’ll start with 7.8 and see what other teams are offering. They’ll be other backup PG’s out there who will be getting much less

Wiggs has been phenomenal too. We really need someone else to bring some aggression besides Herro and Bam.

I don’t even mind if they miss shots, what matters is the intensity. You could see how passive Bam got when the Hawks started making their run.

Ive always wondered if OKC could defer the pick to 2026. They DO NOT need more picks to add to their already overloaded team.

They might have 3 more first rounders this year. Its become too much.

You’ll get used to it a player can go from untouchable to a scrub in a matter of one game, sometimes even a quarter. You gotta just tune it out the board can be very fickle Lol
