I appreciate the professional GT. Records placed and time. Things are starting to look on the up and up here. Good job

Also on nights like tonight it pushes Bam to the 4 to guard Tatum which pushes Jimmy to be matched up with Brown. Much more favorable matchup for us. Against the Bucks it pushes Bam to guard Gianni’s and puts Jimmy on Middleton. Again, far more favorable matchups for us.

He’s having the best shooting season of his career. Idk, I think it’s something to look hard into


Honestly Turner would be great here but sadly I dont think we can get him with what we want to trade, then even if we got him he is a free agent and is looking at around 25+ but more likely around 30 mil a year this offseason.

Hey when Bam plays well and we win there’s nothing to complain about. This is what many Heat fans have wanting and expecting from him for a while now

defense was much improved. Bam with weakside help was nice to see. Haslem not allowing layups. The whole tone of the team was different.
1. Herro 2. Bol Bol 3. Seko 4. Bruno
unless we trade up for Barrett or trade down for PJ Washington

Well just box score watching looks like the four highest paid players actually all played well in the same game for once. Lowry, Herro, Jimmy, Bam all scored above 20 points tonights. 94 points between all 4 of them. When you get that its hard to lose a game, our bench barely did anything and it didnt matter, thats super rare for us.

That's cute we have a front office optimist on the boards


Or maybe we have a negative Nancy on here who’s a fan of doom and gloom even in a win but what do I know

#24 Highsmith is underrated defensively. He plays really great zone & seems to be getting in the right position- chest 1st especially on basket drivers.

Great win guys congrats. Please take this as a compliment... your team is so freaking annoying lol. Do you cause other teams to consistently play like crap or is it just my Celts? Anyway, please play someone else in the postseason and have a nice day k thx.

I think I’d like to wait and see how the team looks when we get Dipo and yurt back. This team reminds me of those championship spurs teams especially with this version of Bam. So yes I think it’s possible but it’s hard to judge when we have so many injuries.
I also think that the heat will at some point pick up a PF they are waiting for the right opportunity and fit hopefully without giving up a first round pick

The leap is real Quiz. The switch may have finally flicked.

100%, I have never seen him like this. Normally when Bam tries to be aggressive he ends up just putting up forced jumpers without looking like he really wants to.

The crazy thing is that he can still get better. This last stretch from him has mostly been him taking more short jump shots in the paint, he can 100% get to the ft line more once the refs start respecting him

Dru Smith very lucky he got that 500k this year. He should invest and manage a subway after all this-MettaWorldPanda

This team really May be a Winslow for Crowder and Iggy type trade away from really contending, that’s not something that I’ve been sure about lately.

The real question will be if we can acquire another wing/front court help. Someone on Twitter threw out the idea of DeRozan to the Heat, I love that for us. I know he chokes in the playoffs but he could really help us and Spo could help fix him.

Even if not DeRozan though, just a 4 who can defend wings would be just what this team needs.

I think now Bam scoring is more of a staple of the offense then it has been in the past. We’re running sets for him and his teammates are making much more of an effort to get him the ball in his spots whereas before in the DHO heavy offense his scoring opportunities were coming at more of the spur of the moment type of thing which he was probably approaching with a different mindset

A lower level deal I’ve seen some people throw out if the Bulls decide to break things up is Duncan and a 1st for Caruso and 1 of DJJ/Green/Williams. That would be solid, don’t know how interested the bulls would be
