Miami isn't going to be losing this game, Utah is terrible and their play this game so far says exactly where they are headed to the top pick in the draft. Miami is still playing terribly, Utah is just worse I am still seeing a lot bad execution. Also Markanen is owning Bam in the game, I don't know what happened to Bam since the all star break is he hurt, his defense is bad, like subpar bad.


Watching the game or just the box score? He’s scored 4 on Bam, 2 on a dumb reach in foul by Bam, 2 on a clean block that was wrongly called a foul. All at the free throw line lol

It is sad that im not surprised.. No one here can say with a straight face that we can put a championship team in in the next season or season after around Butler, Bam and Herro.. not with our cap or and low assets..

Its time to blow it up, this roster due date has expired.

Utah running us down after a defensive rebound like the Lebron Wades years in Miami. Any non casual watching this game will come out thinking Utah is a premier team in the nba.

I prefer that to seeing Love at PF now unfortunately. Just left Markkenan completely unguarded under the basket :banghead:

This is the issue, the FO once again has refused to acquire a decent PF. The best PFs in the last 4 seasons have been Crowder and Tucker and both are just "decent" role players yet starters in Miami. The rest... Azria, Harkless, Leonard, Martin and now Love. I really don't get why this franchise undervalues PFs when having an undersized center.

It’s paramount to get this fixed during the offseason.

Fix it? It's Miami's philosophy, they're doing it on purpose at this point.

Kevin Love is a 10-15 min backup stretch 5 at this juncture. Now i see why a playoff team like the Cavs bought him out

We are better off just letting Jovic play out the season up here. Can’t be any worse defensively and atleast brings lateral quickness

Yep, been saying this since we got him. Terrible starter and the starting unit has sucked since he got here but could be a really nice bench piece. Starters were dominant prior to love, bench needed the help. Adding the 6MOY runner up to the bench seemed clear as day to me.

They must’ve promised him the starting job

What's really interesting about this small ball is that you're supposed to have the faster smaller players meaning they can get to their spots on defense and at least be in position, yet this team is consistently out of position and giving up easy drives that end up opening everything up for the other team offensively. It's like Miami has smaller and slower players which shouldn't be possible at the NBA level each night.

Gabe and Jimmy solid, Bam doing all the little things but not very involved offensively other than dunking on the entire Jazz roster. Setting great screens giving guys free layups

Herro active but not efficient yet, Love finally hit a 3 but man he sucks to be honest. Dipo finding a little rhythm but ruins it be turning it over like crazy. Team has forgot how to defend ever since we got love

I'm just making myself mad now, rewatching the first half, Utah's first score, Kelly O on the break, Herro takes a step to slow down the ball but instead lets him have a 2 on 1 against K.Love and throws a lob for an alley-oop to Kessler. WTF. He's a 7 foot white guy bringing down the ball! I really don't get how hard it is to just stop the ball.
