Rozier seems to have found his 3pt stroke. In the last 4 1/2 games since he's been back from the injury he's shooting 13/30 (43.3%).

Lowry had to be sandbagging. Both sides seem happier, so it’s whatever.

He probably is carrying an injury. But he’s out there. And he’s been poor last night and so far tonight. If he’s available he’s not immune to criticism. He’s better than this, much better. I expect him to lock in at half time and come to life in the third, we’ll make a concerted effort to find him in his spots and get him going.


He’s not involved in the offense at all in the first half and I’m sure he doesn’t care lol on pace for 12 boards and 8 assists, he’ll we might look up and he’s on triple double watch in the 4th. We’re up 10 and the 3rd best offense in the league is on pace to score 94 (which he’s a big part of). Would he be having a good game if he made one of his misses and was at 50% shooting lol, or do we only care about how many points he scores?


If you think he’s had a half that’s on par with a player of his calibre, I’m not sure what to tell you. We’re up because others have stood up. He’s a -3 in his minutes so far.

They were playing FFX music during the halftime show. I thought I was bugging out.

Who would you rather have on the Heat, Anthony Edwards or Luka Doncic?

I wouldn’t say on par but PPG and single game +\- are kicking your ass right now. I couldn’t care less if he doesn’t score 20 if he’s still doing all the other things and we win the game, he’s backpacked this team all season lol

Sheesh, tough call.

Right now with the team we have? Edwards. Feel like his mentality would pair well with Jimmy and Bam.

If I was building a team purely around Bam? Doncic. I actually feel we could make Luka a more efficient and better basketball player, much like we did for Prime Bron when he came to South Beach.

He’s had a terrific season. I’m not debating that, he’s been our anchor and best player this year.

My comments are about tonight. He hasn’t been good. That’s ok, he will be better.

What a block by Bam, and the ball movement was pretty.

Yeah, Luka is phenomenal tbh.

That block by Edwards was wild though.

Giddy scoring on Jovic there. He's good at taking advantage of the young'uns I hear

Return to Miami Heat
