Spo and Heat brass chit the bed on this weeks ago. Rather than do what every other team was doing and IR players with bogus "injuries" to get games postponed, the Heat called up G-leaguers to field an 8-man roster. And we proceeded to go 0-4 vs conference rivals Sixers and Nets because of it (among other Ls these past 3-4 weeks)

We'll be lucky to get a 6th seed at this point because we've already given up so much ground to the top of the conference simply because we weren't willing to get dirty like everyone else

That's the point, we're not like other teams. We do things the right & honest way. It makes success even more sweeter.

Let Bam earn his money. Let these young cats be put in the deep end to learn & play under these conditions that build toughness & character. Sh*t happens - we learn to weather the storm, persevere & stay resilient. This will turn to determination & Eventually the hunger will provide us wins when we need it most.

The main reason we are struggling is we are missing 2 of our best players and Dragic doesn't seem to healthy. That's a lot of offense to make up for. Once Butler and Herro come back, we should be able to go on a run to get back on track. From what we are hearing they should be back soon.

Yep. People need to get a grip. No Butler, No Dragic...then No Herro. Today missing all 3. We were already quite thin in offensive power even w/ those 3 players, so how did we all expect we'd play w/out them for such a long stretch. We're then reliant on a bunch of young cats, d-leaguers & mediocre players.

I'm riding the wave w/ the team. Staying patient. Give my support & hoping our luck & situation changes for the better.

I hope they don’t pay him that amount 10mill at the very most.. he’s so one dimensional and when he’s off especially late he’s been way off 3-20 in the last two games. He’s D improved but nothing special and still gets beat up easily at times.. needs to bring his game in shoot some twos learn to drive to basket at least a few times to keep teams honest.. I’d honestly be happy to trade him or let him go in FA.

For the record, I’m aware of the reasons why we suck. Of course missing 3 of our 4 most important players is going to mean we suck. But this is the year we reaaaaaaaally can’t afford to given we don’t own our pick. I don’t want to be giving up a Lotto pick.

I also don’t think we’re maximizing our ability over the past 4-5 games. Bam has been very good, but the supporting cast outside of maybe Nunn have been well below par. Not huge on Spo’s spotations either, whack lineups not helping the situation.

I dunno, we need a momentum changer. Let’s hope tomorrow’s game v LAC gives us a boost and doesn’t send us tumbling further.

I'd say we're just not good enough to justify taking 45 3 pointers without our main guys.

Just scramble it and play harder than the opponents. attack attack attack. I can live with the results but not this let's jack it up and hope for the best basketball. analytics are not on your side when there is no one to break down the defense.

lack of defensive bigs, no interior defense except Bam, he is playing very good but will get burned out trying to cover everything on defense. The other player worth a lick playing defense is Jimmy and he is not playing. Bradley is also a very good defender and can produce some on offense. Until we fix our horrendous perimeter defense we are not going nowhere, it puts way too much pressure on an already weak interior defense. Our youngsters are not really looking too promising right now, teams are clamping down on Robinson and you can see the results, he can barely get an open shot and his driving game is almost non existent. I dont see Herro becoming an allstar at this point, his defense is below average. I would rather have a more balanced player like a Shane Battier, we can not afford to have such weak perimeter defenders, our identity since Pat came aboard always has been a strong defensive oriented team, its been a while and those days are long gone. I know some of you have an unconditional love for Herro and company, but i am not seeing progress in such important areas as defense, and we need to improve on that in order to contend.
