JJJ is a future star in this league. First playoff game as a rookie and he plays like this? The future is bright

This is why the Bam no show last game against Philly was so bad. We were never meant to stand a chance against this team sans Jimmy

Seems like the 9-27 for 25 points shooting from Herro and the Jimmy injury were far major factors in a 1 point loss than a guy who wasn’t being set up to score but managed a double double while holding the most dominant player and would’ve been back to back mvp to 33% shooting but maybe I’m faded

What we are seeing is a typical 8th seed level team, have a few good pieces, but no difference maker. They have to depend on gimmicks to try and claw their way into games. Will happen from time to time, but when the opponents shoot like how they are, it will be tough. But knowing our guys, they won't stop coming. Let's go Heat!!

Is this 3 point shooting from boston sustainable?

They've been playing ball on this level all year, we'll see how it holds this playoffs

[Shewasfly]

Herro looks shaky, whats up? Jitters or something?

Tired from last game? Idk. But he has been absolute trash.

Jaquez is an interesting study. Started the season hot, slowed down a lot, and now he's at this level again. Curious to see what his prime years look like.

I persoanlly think he will be more of a goto scorer. Hes got certain shots he hits alot, he has to figure out ways to get there.

[oreon]

Kinda feel sorry for Herro here. What White and Jrue are doing to him should be illegal. He's getting no space whatsoever. Any time he gets the ball he gets mauled. He's got no chance.
Spo gotta let him out here, and change his diet to dribble hands off the screen like Duncan. It's the only he'll get any space to take a jumper

[iamoti]

Spo will adjust but we need to start hitting our 3s. Can't win like this

I'm actually okay with what Bam has done offensively this game. I don't expect him to go off for 35+. My issue has just been his lack of aggression on offense but I have no complaints with him this game so far offensively.

But we have a poster who says that Bam is capable and will go off like that if he’s given the opportunity. He has it today….

You’re an idiot that hates literally everything about the Heat, why do you even watch or keep up?

I love the Heat. What I hate are fans who suck up to a player and refuse to see their faults and shortcomings.
You’re already making excuses for him. “See how differently they are defending him today?”
Elite players like you claim Bam to be, find a way. He doesn’t. He’s a very good player but far far from elite like you claim he is.
You’re a Bam fan first, Heat fan second and it shows

[3ammy3uck3ts]

man Herro is killing us, at this point i would consider benching him

But man he’s only paid $30M a year to be strictly a scorer with little to no defense, shouldn’t we just get it through our heads and accept it?!?!

[balla345]

they are a plus 33 points on us from 3s

He's not built to be the primary ballhandler going against the likes of Holiday & White. That's just asking for trouble, but I guess we don't have any other option. Wright needs a lot more run, and going through Niko doesn't seem like a bad idea too. Just have to go away from Herro trying to create.

[Umbooki]

That ain’t the Caleb that killed em last year.

[Kobewade11]

I thought we got rid of that hitch in Caleb’s shot at one point

Basketball is played on both ends. The same way we criticize Herro for bad defense, fans criticize Bam for bad offense

I have literally never seen you say anything positive about the Heat and Im sure several would agree. I was a Wade fan first which led to becoming a Heat fan in 2003. Been one since

Yea we gotta keep him. He's like our 3rd -4th best player on the team.

Right so guys were bad on both ends likely effected the loss more than a guy with elite defense and little involvement offensively
