Welp, what can the Jimmy d*ck riders say now


Jimmy not making excuses doesn't mean he was healthy lol

Was he hurt when Miami got swept in the 1st round of 2021?

He was actually hurt in the ECF last year but put in incredible effort in game 6 and 7 and almost got Miami to the finals last year, this year he just believed too much in marginal talent after game 3 of the ECF.

He was moving fine.

Game 3 of the ECF, Miami blew out Boston and everything changed, the effort level dropped and Miami played 9 more games losing 7 of them.

When Butler )(#$ the bed in 2021 and Miami was swept, this was one year after his 2 triple doubles in the finals and there was no surgery. I think he was fine, I do believe he believed in his teammates too much after that blowout of Boston and he took his foot off the gas.


I think it was more of a matter of his shots not falling as often and the way the defenses adjusted to defend him, as opposed to taking his foot off of the gas.

This is extremely worrisome going forward with Jimmy, if he doesnt have serious family issues, this is not how a leader should perform in the playoffs. Front office needs to pay a lot of atention moving forward with him.


He looked drained, maybe we need to get him some more firepower.

While I'm not happy, I always get a sense of relief when the season ends. It feels nice I don't have to think about winning or losing anymore.

-SHULA

Not an excuse, he stilled played poorly. And when you are good enough to play, you have to find a way to still make the impact your team needs at your limited capacity., injured or no. He didn't do that and deserves the criticism. I just think it wasn't a quit/heart issue. But I think all will be revealed in the coming week.

His ankle is fine.. his knee is fine.. he just didnt have anything left. Guy still had amazing performances throughout the first three rounds that will never be forgotten. Its time to find a true star player that will fit inbetween Butler and Bam

Some Heat fans think his contract is bad, but in reality, it's actually decent value. Jordan Poole contract is similar, as Warriors fans think it's awful. However, there aren't many 23 year old guards that are 3-level scorers that can create their own shot. Some team is about to pay an older FVV similar or more $ for 39% shooting and 34% on 3s...

Want to see Bam attempt 3's next season.

Want to see Jimmy continuing to work on his outside shooting as well. Butler shot 35% from three during the regular season, and 36% during the playoffs. Those are serviceable numbers.

Definitely looked drained. Why can’t we just tip our cap to the Nuggets for being the better team. They matched up extremely well against Butler. He needed some more help. We got nothing from a lot of players and almost no front court help from anyone aside from Bam.

Maybe if we were a higher seed and didn’t have to play the bucks in the first round we could have saved those himmy moments

Now that the season is over, it’s time to see what Silver has in store for Ja and the Grizz.

I’m excited for the offseason! The Celtics series was exhausting.

Pat Riley hasn't loved a young player since Magic Johnson, and that includes Dwyane Wade. Pat only love experienced veterans.

If you think Pat loves a kid who is full of himself, worried about his image, and doesn't play defense, have I got a deal for you ...

Image

Pat hand picked Herro himself. Pat chose to extend him. Pat refers to him as Tyler “Smoooooookin” Herro lol

I'm not buying Pat having some love affair with Herro or his game. Pat talks all our players up. If you listen to him, he thinks Bam is a great offensive option too. And we know that isn't true.

Its his job. Instill belief in these guys, and also keep their trade value high.

The truth is you don’t like the answers you are getting. Jimmy is different….. dude coasts for half a season then post all star break starts to care. That should tell you everything you need….

Yes true. I'm curious to see why he failed but he accepted the failure and is not throwing guys under the bus publicly.

This team got throttled and its humbling and that's all it is sometimes.

Of course we will look to improve it. We have doors opening to improve now.
