Don’t know if he’s hinting at something or what.

Over the last couple years, I’ve realized him and his counterparts don’t know a thing.


Yes it starting to seem that way for sure. Their plugged in on a couple instances but overall I don’t see much

So we've beaten both teams with the top records in each conference. Basically means we are the best team in the league.

Now I hate him on Boston but he’d literally be perfect here. Him and Bam are friends too, great long term fit

What sucks is we’re probably helping Boston improve as well to get this done.

Was a big fan of Williams coming out of Tennessee. I was advocating for him at our FRP (thankfully we took Tyler), but he’d be perfect here.

Boston would never though. Our only chance will be this offseason in a S&T or something. Their cap sheet is stretched, but so is ours. Boston has no incentive to trade him during the season, particularly not to a rival.

Leif has to be desperate for attention to put that out. even if his “source” okayed it - the boston miami rivalry is bitter and Williams is a big part of what they do. They would just GIFT their rival a 3&D 4? this is 1 of those rumors you just keep to yourself and realize the attention isnt worth how stupid it sounds

Only way is if they had something bigger in line and the 1st we send them would help them get it done. I don’t like the thought of helping them get better to make us better. Just seems like a wash

I've been saying variations of this for years about what his potential could be.

The way he's playing as of late is what I had expected 2 years ago right after the bubble when he dominated Boston, then it felt like he regressed to a point that he could only be aggressive in spurts, instead of bringing that mentality every night. But now it looks legit, if he keeps this up I'll have to get a jersey before the playoffs.

Think him and finally Spo both saw this was the way to our most success. No more non stop DHOs, actually running sets for him to score and Bams capitalizing. Loving it.

Been telling you guys for a while now that if Bam took more shots he'd score more points.

what you expect frm NBAcentral who post anything for clicks. Haven't we established this!
If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

A lot of us shared this belief. Unfortunately Edrice kept swallowing his nuts. Happy to see him show 'em. Keep teabaggin' cats Edrice, pls.

I have to apologize to Bam. I turned on him on the playoffs last year, although he kind of deserved it. This year he has made the leap that I thought he could make all along.

It looks like Duncan got his first of many DNP's. I was fooled. I honestly thought he was going to have a comeback season. The guy will be lucky to be in the league at all when his contract expires.

It will be minimums from here on out. Contenders could always use shooters at the end of their bench.. but that's basically it - Bertans, Harris, Duncan...FO arent going to give 1 dimensional guys upwards of 80M-100M anymore. Miami should have seen what happened to those guys once defenses keyed in on them.

And for this team, it's been especially crucial to get Bam away from getting bruised up to benefit Strus and Dunc, hence why even Strus is having a down year as well
