Queta really has to work on not fouling so much.

After this game, I never want to hear anyone say Queta is better than KOnret or that Queta should get mins over Kornet ever again.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Read on Twitter

Our bench and deep bench and deep deep bench didn't disappoint either.

Lol. You just hate the guy. Duncan robinson is the worst.

But if Herro plays Robinson doesn’t get the same amount of minutes.

I’ve watched enough of Herro to know he’s streaky offensively and absolutely awful defensively. Comfortably one of the more overrated players in the league.


Whatever. They still need his offense. Still better with him in the lineup than not.

They’ve had a negative net rating with him for the last 3 seasons

Fierce are you new?! Regular season doesn’t mean squat man. Let’s be real, The Heat went to the Finals last year, beat us in our house in a game 7, as Chris Carter would say “ Cmon Man “

Cs didn't have KP and Jrue last season.

And there's no Grant to do stupid stuff like poking the bear.

Come on, man, Robert Williams is not walking through that door.

Marcus Smart and Grant Williams are not walking through that door.

haha yeah. It's weird to see literally nobody (no coaches or players) dapping anyone from the other team after the game.

But not weird considering the rivalry.

I called it several hours before the game. I can see the future.

UPDATE: Holiday was unable to reach the milestone.
