gonna watch the game later
but Herro 8-26 FG!!?
No Duncan & Rozier!

[3ammy3uck3ts]

I wasted so much fuxkin time watching this season praying Playoff Jimmy would be there at the end. Hes cooked and we’ve neutered our best player in the biggest game of the year spamming actions for Jimmy and Herros trash ass.

Or maybe Bam was trash as well

Nope, 0 actions ran for him. Learn the game.

I'd blame the injury for Jimmy's performance but he's basically cruised the whole season anyway. Are we really going to pay top dollar for an older guy with a lot of injuries and milage? I love Jimmy but it's a serious conversation in the summer.

Nope, injury or not if you’re going to coast all season and put us in this horrible situation you have to show up when it matters. It’s that simple.

They will probably pay him off loyalty ironically when they didn't do that for Wade. I wouldn't pay him as tough as it is. Even if it gets flak, I think it's the right move to move on. This brand of basketball is not sustainable. We have to catch lightning in a bottle to even have a chance at a run.

Jimmy has looked done all year. Is what it is guys. Oreon is right, spo shouldve used that challenge.

[balla345]

Not sure why Miami went away from going defensive, Miami let Philly score 66 points in the 2nd half.

It was not the same team as the first half. It’s been like this all year long

[fishfuego.]

ESPN hates Florida after the Disney crap lolol

[UFAlum88]

What in the **** are these announcers talking about? When Miami fouls, it is a crime against humanity. When Philly does it...silence.

[AirP.]

For as much as I've trashed Herro, that was a heady play by him to get a foul before the ball was in bounded.

[powerball1373]

Pissed at Spo not using that challenge. Game was tied with less min remaining. It gets overturned Herro shoots two FTs. If there was 25 % chance of it being overturned you have to take it. The next possession lost us the game

It'll show up on the last two minute report as usual.

For sure. Only question is if they'll only mention the missed push, or if they'll acknowledge he didn't have the ball yet when he stepped on the line as well.

[wade44]

Kill this build with fire. Young guys can stay everyone else can gtfo

[KingDavid]

Those touchy calls at the end for Philly and the non calls for Miami.
NBA man
I’m done anyways.

The refs completely decided the end of this game.

Everything for them down the stretch was a 3 point play. I hope someone from the team goes in during the press conferences, but I know they won't.

Still, it shouldn't have even come to this. We just suddenly decided to not defend the hot hand. Batum was legit the only person scoring for a good 6 minutes it felt like. I am floored.

Just routinely kept helping off of him. Baffling.

[balla345]

Lmao why Herro take so long to shoot that

[3ammy3uck3ts]

The difference between us and other good teams is that their franchise players can score and take over games. Bam is elite on defense but he can't score. Jimmy is old and worn out. He's not a great scorer either. It all has to be manufactured in the paint where he gets banged up. And we all know Herro. There is no elite option on offense just as a starting point for team building.

Yall gotta stop with this Bs Bam can’t score nonsense. He plays to the scheme. 25-12-6 this year without Jimmy and Herro, 22-11-5 without Jimmy.

[UFAlum88]

Heat going to get swept by the Celts if they win the next one.

I concur. Heat fans were hoping for playoff Jimmy, but at some point age takes over and athletes just can't compete like they did when they were younger. Butler will be 35 when next season starts. Jordan retired the second time by that age, Kobe tore his achillies at that age, and Wade went to the Bulls at that age. Jimmy was good, but he was nowhere close to those guys.

I'm just not sure who would want Butler for a max deal at this point. If he's willing to play a limited role on a reduced salary for a contender maybe it works? Then again he can't shoot 3s and his defense isn't getting any better with age.

[eddieheatfan]

team is weird that is all that i'm going to say

Which play are we talking about? The one where Herro was hit on the forearm?

[Slot Machine]

This team really does suck. They’ve blown every important/big game this year.

[AirP.]

Miami gave up 66 points in the 2nd half, incredible.

[Heat3]

This is the Heat I’ve seen all season.
