8 game losing streak and you're trying to hype up Bam and how de doesn't get enough credit?

Now that is truly hilarious.


Right it’s all his fault too honestly then you pull up a stat that shows Isaiah Joe would be the best player on the Heat for your support.

Bams has several huge moments in his career to back him impacting winning, you trying to act like Herro has EVER impacted winning in a meaningful way and insinuating he’s backpacking the team is hilarious. I guess you forgot all the runs we made when he went out with injury. Congrats on his empty numbers/fluke all star season tho


This has nothing to do with Herro, just stated some very obvious facts about why they were winning games earlier in the season.

Bam has never impacted winning without Jimmy on the court.

His +/- without Jimmy/Herro on the court is straight up awful, I've posted the numbers before, he was carried by Jimmy and now we see how he's doing on his own and it is not pretty.


You brought him up to stroke your Herro agenda lol.

Correct when your best player is out leading to $50M in dead weight and your only help is a bunch of undrafted guys and an inefficient chucker for years it will be hard to consistently win games

You're so clearly biased and I don't know why you can't see past it.

When you trash Tyler every night, remember he is scoring at a more efficient clip than Bam and also playmaking at a higher level, while all the defensive attention is on him and Bam also gets assisted for lobs/dunks.

I get it, you need someone to blame so youcan feel better, but it's funny, when every objective metric has Herro on the same or higher level of impact when it comes to winning games this season.

Trade both, they aren't good enough...

Everything you’re saying you’re basing on 1 year of evidence lol. Herro scores at a more efficient rate than Bam this year, good for him. Considering he’s paid $30M+ to strictly score it’s about damn time tbh. The playmaking is pretty close considering the gap in usage but the fact we’re comparing a guards playmaking to a center is also pretty funny.

Don’t sit here and pretend that Tyler doesn’t benefit from Bam greatly.

Lobs and dunks because all the attention is on Tyler (Bam is also top 25 in the league in double teams by the way) yea I **** wish. Trust me, I wish someone could consistently find him for easy lobs and dunks but we don’t have a single playmaker on this team worth a fuxk. If Herro was as good as you act we wouldn’t have one of the worst 5 offenses in the league considering that’s the only side of the ball he plays. Bam will get you in the top 10 or close defensively regardless, which was the entire basis of my post you blew up before your Herro tangent.

Sell high on Herro this summer, if you get some legit talent Bams already shown he can anchor defenses to deep playoff runs.

Yeah, not convinced that Bam can truly anchor a defense. Like I said, Jimmy carried Bam not just on offense, but on defense too.

Bam is an undersized center, and when he’s your biggest guy, opponents can attack the paint more easily and score at the rim. He’s a great switch defender, but that doesn’t mean he’s a dominant rim protector or the kind of anchor that can single-handedly elevate a defense.

Miami’s past defensive success was more about strong team schemes rather than Bam being the foundation. With elite perimeter defenders like Jimmy, they could compensate for Bam’s size limitations. But without that kind of defensive support, a defense centered around Bam alone just isn’t going to hold up at a top-10 level.

This is also why he’s never won DPOY. True defensive anchors like Gobert or Davis fit that mold, Bam doesn’t. This season has made it even more obvious and we’ve seen it enough times. Bam usually starts out the fourth quarter and is supposed to be the defensive anchor. They keep giving up double digit leads and literally can't stop anything.

Simmer down and enjoy loss number 9 on the way to a top 4 pick.

Y’all taking Dame for expirings Jaime and a 1st when the Bucks implode this summer? I’m going to guess Dame wants Miami only again. Check those numbers without Giannis

Heat are in big trouble until they luck into drafting a superstar.

No one on the roster is close to what they need to turn this sinking ship around.

No team wants their **** sandwich of "assets" either. Those "assets' can't win a **** game.

This build is not good enough. I would trade both while we can still get something back, and start a new build.

Spo is as safe as safe can get. No matter what happens, having to trade Jimmy mid season shines up the sh*t to make it look like choc cake. Even if it was just a bad season, we don’t have the personnel for them to blame Spo.

Those that have the fantasy of Spo getting sh*tcanned need to drop it. It won’t happen.


I think he steps away/slides into a front office role similar to what Brad Stevens did.


I think so too, but not the same way as Brad. I don’t see him leaving the bench. He will stay coaching and have final word over player personnel, trades, and signings. However, much like Pat did when he had dual roles, he will delegate all other responsibilities.

I just can’t see Spo leaving the bench at his age.

Mentally, he’s already left the bench lol

He is so cooked/burnt out it’s sad at this point.

The top 5 pick the Heat will send the Thunder after next season will truly mark the end of this franchise as we’ve come to know it since Riley arrived.

That will be the culmination of a decade of mismanagement.

EVERYONE will be gone.

Imagine if OKC wins the championship this year then next year they will get a Top 5 pick lol.

That's going to be a hard one to swallow. We need to be competitive next season.

The crazy thing is with this roster….the Heat need to enter a multi year tank, trade everyone, and build through the draft. The fact that they are about to owe two unprotected picks in next few years is a downright crisis. This team is doomed.

No way you all think Pat is going to sit by and do nothing after this season, especially with our picks becoming unprotected. I’m the first to say he’s not good anymore, and he isn’t, but this summer he’s swinging big and he might not be a stubborn old bastard in negotiations this time around.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Pat calls it a career. He’ll be 80 and this team is years away from being competitive.

Nothing has changed….there are no magical moves that are going to turn this ship around. They are sinking fast.
