ESPN says we lost cuz Celts went smaller. Spo will make the adjustments.

We'll see.

It was a great year, regardless.

Without a healthy PJ we are in trouble. Hell, without a healthy Kyle, we appear to be in trouble. He's the one that gets us through those non scoring stretches of the game. Pj is going to get an MRI...pray that he can play, gentlemen. That will at least give us a fighting chance.

Jimmy pretty much has to be looking to score from the start, but he out there playing alone. If Bam and Herro don't get aggressive and effecient, the this thing will be over by game 5. Bam has bee pathetic. Herro has been inefficient.

This is unacceptable and both Bam and Spo are to blame. They need to have a conversation asap and it should involve Jimmy.

This dude was literally looking like the 2nd coming of KG and we have basically went completely away from him on the offensive end and he’s not stepping up and taking matters into his own hands.

Those are elite all time great level numbers for a center in a playoff series. Baby Giannis type **** and he’s just been neutered now. And he’s shown stretches this season where he’s done the same thing. I have no clue what is going on right now, his usage and shot attempts have plummeted for no reason.

Bams low ppg i can understand because he isn't a talented scorer and he has done really well with the limited touches.

Herro is getting attacked defensively and is getting it stolen too much and isnt able to score in the higher defensive pressure of the yoffs.

These are flawed players. Neither a superstar.

If the Celts are beating us small then they are beating us at our own game.

The old guys burned out early. They gave it a good effort. Lowry might be back.

I’m digging more into the numbers and I’m just confused af at what’s going on with Bam. Like why are we not using him more on offense and why is he not taking it upon himself to be assertive regardless?

Like Tyler his a 9% higher usage than Bam and Bam is averaging more PPG and scoring way more efficiently than Tyler on 5 less shot attempts a game. Why in the world is that not reversed? You need that inside out game.

Bam is having his most efficient scoring playoffs ever, he’s having his most impactful playoffs ever despite the lack of scoring and playmaking from him due to a huge decrease in usage and shot attempts. Just imagine if his offense was just at his season averages at least.

This guy has been neutered in the offense right now and I’m not pointing any fingers I’m saying as a group they need to get together and figure it out because this is unacceptable.

He’s averaging 14 on 8 shots, give this dude 15 shots a game and he’s giving you 23-25 a night easily. That’s the exact scoring punch Jimmy needs next to him and a scoring punch that would make the team better.

Take a shot away from strus, take one from Gabe, take 1 or 2 from Jimmy, take 3 from Herro. There are ways to make up for this and give you a more efficient scoring punch next to Jimmy.

It almost feels like Jimmy Spo and bam got together before the playoffs and decided Jimmy would carry the offense and Bam would carry the defense and everyone else would just fall in line and fill their roles because both of them have been elite on those ends of the court in these playoffs.

Just makes no sense to me.

The GM failed Spo by giving him old players. Spo needs younger 2 way players. He's not a guy that knows how to juggle veteran leaders that need to play full time cuz he wears em out and he doesn't think he needs to change that. But his system is too uptempo so something has to give.

That said, Spo rings so much potential where you don't think there is potential... he's a unique coach.

Flawed but unique. He's gone DAntoni, maybe you give him Giannis and he wins it all easy.

That was horrible to hear. I can't imagine how the players felt.

After how they played, I hope they felt humiliated and wanting to go out for blood. Those players don’t deserve to have their feelings cared about. They’ve been coddled enough. Man up. This is the Miami Heat goddamn it! This is Heat Culture and those clowns, other than Jimmy, were anything but Heat Culture. I hope they all have nightmares of those chants but in reality I’m sure Bam was out partying and Herro was out cheating on his girl. The HEAT are above these players and I care about the franchise, b*tches, I mean, players come and go.

Bum already moved on, but vowed to be “more aggressive” next time. He will execute those dribble handoffs intensely.

Where are the quotes from the players and Spo post game? I wanna see what these clowns have said.
