Close but no cigar.

Can't lose three out of four quarters and expect to win.

At least we beat the Suns convincingly.

We need those reinforcements.

Game was played with a loose whistle, but at home with clear contact, I’d expect Jimmy to get that whistle.

How about that dumb pass by Lowry too late in the fourth. Guy is a flat out liability at this point.

The more we lose the more likely he’s traded with picks for a younger option. Itching to swap him out for DLo Russell and see Russell earn his next contract with us. Russell can’t be any worse then Lowry plus he’s only 26 6’4 with 6’10 wingspan

Spo needs to start letting Dipo take Lowrys minutes in late game situations when Lowry shows he doesn’t have it offensively.

It’s not ideal. Dipo’s not a facilitator or as savvy as Kyle. But enough is enough. He’s giving us nothing on both ends for too many games.

You heard right, all game


Yea, saw the final play on youtube and I don't see how that wasn't a foul. He was jumping forward and his arms weren't straight up. Clear as day. We'll see what that bullsh*t 2 minute report says. Coming from somebody who never really blames the refs, it feels like there is a lot of no calls or bad calls going against us. Bam and Herro get absolutely killed and can't get a call 70% of the time.

Wolves have won 5 straight and are only 1 game off .500. They may or may not be sellers on Russell.

Damn that really sucks. Guessing the more they win the more likely they keep him. He is close with KAT after all. Things just don’t get any easier for us.

Call me conspiracist, but the league has had it for the Heat all season. Is it the location and it’s politics?
Possibly. The NBA, the entertainment business, uses its teams as promotional tools, and not just sports.
IMHO it plays a major factor on on how teams are refereed. Brooklyn is this season’s darling. Location, location, location, just like real estate.

Man I’m still hot, from Bam and Herro and 1s being Called off for no continuation, getting absolutely shafted on the last play of the game, Herro injury, Bam injury, etc.

We need every single win we can get, we can’t afford to lose from cheating ass refs but imo the nba has made their Brooklyn nets agenda clear as day after what I saw tonight

As I’ve gotten older and even as I bet on the games and player props from time to time I’m starting to notice things like this quite often. I never believed this prior but after being deeper into it anyone who doesn’t think there are narratives the league want to follow and thinks Vegas doesn’t pulls some strings from time to time you’re just fooling yourself

What is so annoying about the 2 bam non calls on continuation and Herros is the fact that they weren’t even close. Like there’s literally 0 debate to he had on if they were gathered and attempting to score prior to the foul

Of course. Isn't Del Santis going after Disney? Disney owns espn. That's less coverage there.

Then maybe the nba just doesn't want to promote red states due to bad press in the media.

Both Bam and Herro get their share of contact without getting the call. Unlike other players in a similar situation, where they easily get those contact calls, those 2 players are not on the list of beneficiaries, unfortunately for Heat fans.
