Just another win that feels like a loss due to the fact that you can just tell your team isn’t living up to near their potential due to horrible decision making on both ends.

We just beat a horrible suns team without Booker CP3 crowder cam Johnson and Payne by 3 in the 2nd half.

3-2 trip is solid but honestly should’ve been 5-0, 4-1 worst case.

Oh well, on to the next I guess. Nets at home Sunday.

Love seeing Oladipo playing like this. We have a chance if he can give us something in the playoffs, assuming Jimmy goes crazy again.

Nice win. Dipo providing us with so much right now. Need to trade Lowry in order to free up more minutes for Dipo. Butler needs to get back to being Point forward bubble Butler.

Offense does not have to be this complicated


It drove me nuts tonight. Bam clearly had the advantage so many times and we would kick it around the perimeter for trash Vincent jumpers.

He’s one of our best 4th quarter scorers. Should’ve got a lot more reps.

It’s very frustrating man, especially as we throw up brick after brick and struggle to close a bad undermanned team out. The dude was shooting 67% from the field, im sure he could’ve got a few more buckets when everything was stale.

Jimmy sees him, just flat out ignores him. Makes you wonder if something is going on there

A W is a W. Heat are 6-4 in their last 10. And really should have been 7-3 if they bothered to show up against the Lakers. The team is trending in the right direction. If they can get everyone healthy at the same time, this team can make a run for the 5th seed. It wasn't the best of starts but there has been progress in recent weeks. Just need Butler, Herro and Caleb to stop missing games.

9-4 in the last 13, trades are needed though. We need at least 2 pieces

Dipo if healthy is not a guy you want hounding you over a playoff series. Even the ESPN commentators were saying the Heat are too small.

Good, it needs to be called out and is on the FO to give Spo the options. Then it's on Spo to utilize it....even now we have a better option than Dedmon and he just refuses to go to it (O-Rob....DNP - Coaches Decision). There's no excuse for this....

So our 22 y/o healthy young “star” needed rest?

I don't think we're small anymore. Just unhealthy and a bonehead at the helm. We have Yurt and Orlando. One of them can start at 5 next to Bam at the 4. The other can come off the bench at 5 and play whatever midget at 4 off the bench.

I'd start Orlando next to Bam and have Yurt come off the bench and slowly come back into form. Use dedmon sparingly.

For the time being, start Orlando next to Bam -> rest Orlando and small ball 5 Bam -> rest Bam and small ball Dedmon for a few minutes -> rest Dedmon and bring back full rested Orlando for small ball 5 -> Bring back Bam to play with Orlando.

Both Dedmon and Bam are finesse players. Bam is just much more athletic. Both i see as Chris Bosh style bigs. Bam has a little more aggression.

Did I miss something on Yurt? Last I saw he was potentially out all season.

Unless Orlando starts taking and making 3s I don’t think we can afford that spacing to clog the lane for Jimmy and Bam. Moves are needed

On those big 3 teams, LeBron was kind of the bruiser. Jimmy doesn't have lebrons physical presence.
