Funny enough if Bam plays the Lakers will win, Jimmy can only drive like that when he has 4 guys on the floor that can shoot it.

you can play a pretty bad game sometimes and just hit a couple big buckets at the end of the game it and it can change peoples whole perception of how you played.

We’d worship the ground he walked on if he was drafted here :lol:

We haven’t had a guard this productive, let alone a backcourt prospect, this good in what feels like a decade.


2nd youngest NBA rookie in Finals history only Magic was younger. What he's been able to do, not just in the playoffs where he's hit clutch shot after clutch shot and some of the most clutch shots in Heat playoff history in every round of the playoffs but now going clutch in an NBA Finals against Lebron and AD? Yeah if he was a Knick he'd be a legend already

Gotta love Jimmy. No Bam, no Goran, no excuses. Loved how he talked trash at the end.

Work on that jumper RJ. We need you to be that kinda guy for us.

That snarl he was doing was the only bad thing tonight, looked like he practiced that in the mirror before the game.

herro did start out 3-15 before he hit those last few shots, I wouldn't say it was a great game by him and I'm a pretty big fan. but he is the youngest player on the biggest stage

he was horrible for the 1st 3 qtrs. But man he has some big stones to take a few of those big shots he did to help close out the game. The kid does not lack confidence and he's a big time shot maker at 20 years old.

Consistency will come when Herro has some experience. Right now, he shows all the talents that we want in a player - and he does it under pressure. I remember "Trust the Process," but Philly seems to have squandered much of what they got from those awful years. Riley has put together a really exciting team from almost nothing. The guy deserves credit for an incredible job, even though they will probably lose to LA in 5 or 6.

Bam is among my favorites but I was actually just thinking about this as well.

if Bam cannot shut down AD a lineup with four shooters around Jimmy might be the Lakers best chance for victory. Heat need to make sure though that the rebounding differential between both teams are not that much.

pretty much cements the fact that nothing really matters in a basketball but for the last 5 minutes.

I remember the time when I was dreaming about trade the #3 2019 pick for #8, #10 and #17.

We could have drafted Cam, Herro, and Clarke...

Come on, it's the Knicks. They would have drafted exactly none of those guys with the picks.
