2024-2025 Regular Season Game 32: Miami Heat (14-13) at Orlando Magic (19-12) - 7pm

[FFBlitzace]

It sucks because I hate Miami and I don't like Herro. But with 21 turnovers and 5-30 3pt shooting, how can you expect to win a game? It's remarkable we even had a shot.

I love our identity as a super tough defensive team that battles. And of course we are missing a lot of firepower right now. But this is still the NBA and 5-30 3pt shooting, at home, is just...nope, not going to get mad. I am an enlightened individual who does not get angry at things I cannot control. A lesser man would log on to RealGM and spew venom against at our bench, but I am not that man. They had nearly as turnovers (6) as points (12), but I'm not going to say anything about that.

That game was infuriating

Even though we didnt play well in the last 3 qtrs, we still had a 10 pt lead going into 4th, that lineup Mose put in to start the 4th qtr lost the game.

We didn't hurt our defensive rating.

Screw defense. Get the offense out of the toilet.

[SOUL]

I'd prefer to win, and I'm annoyed they lost, but it was an absolutely deserved loss. You can't turn it over that much and give techs and shoot that badly and expect to win.

Also the whole like.. stopping Bam from making a mid-range shot? Great job. Probably gave up 9 extra points from open threes.

dude suggs went 2-12 from 3............................

[Last Guardian]

Cole is only worth playing if you’re down big and desperate

[VFX]

AB who was cold and had played 14 bad minutes up to that point? No.

Queen had hounded Herro for two straight games. Was warm. Is a good defender.

You're just doing schtick.

All takes are schtick now from me. Got it bro.

You've been very inclined recently to complain about literally anything you can sink your teeth into even though we both know you have a much better understanding of hoops than some of these takes would suggest.

So if the shoe fits...

I mean.. 23 turnovers and couldn’t shoot the basketball tonight.

I complain about getting a real point guard for 3 seasons now. How Isaac is overvalued (did nothing in this game). How Carter is worthless (he was in this one too).

Kinda justified teeth sinking complaints….
But yeah just schtick here.

Bright side is TDS and Goga are real.

[jezzerinho]

Queen just got held a sec (Bam?) to delay him getting onto Herro and it was enough

Every single team does this lol. Watch the AD attempted game winner after the Franz dagger. But yeah, our offense was the issue tonight.

Oh, I know. But people saying Queen was at fault need to rewatch.

[SOUL]

Suggs could've missed 10 more for all I care. The 7 turnovers are worse.

That being said, he still scored 29 points. Any bench guard??? hello???

We’ve got Cole Gary Cojo and Jett….. oh wait you want an offensive threat.

We will never win a damn thing of importance being the worst 3 point shooting team in the league at 31%. Non shooters don’t belong in todays NBA.

[Husky1]

Suggs 3pt shooting is **** horrific

[Idiosyncratic]

The angle Queen took on that game-winner was terrible. Still the defense almost won them the game, the Jett/CoJo minutes together lost them the game. Jett/Cole minutes lost them the OKC game. Defense goes from otherworldy to terrible with Jett and another small guy in together, way too easy to exploit.

Jett did nothing but stand in the corner and wasn't targeted on defense.....cojo played well in his minutes, unless i missed something....cole on the other hand definitely wasn't good

I just remember the Heat going like 5 for 5 from 3 against that lineup, and you know after rewatching it, not the worst defense I've ever seen. Heat just made everything in that sequence and a bad foul by AB. So I stand corrected.

Heat were just hot on 3s, their offense could have been really really ugly if they weren't.

[RookieStar]

BTW... did Suggs really kick out on that 3 thatbgot him an offensive foul?

[VFX]

Suggs has to shoot the basketball.

Why? Because there is nobody else on this roster right now that plays aggressively on offense outside of him and Cole. Moe, Paolo, and Franz are the only guys that can back up the aggressiveness. They are ALL out.

So yeah, he’s going to keep shooting whether it’s bad or not.

KCP and TDS are just not that aggressive or high volume mentally enough.

[SOUL]

That being said, they fought hard. I think winning the last two games (which may or may not have been fluky) makes people think we should win every game, and we by all means should've won this, but we also have to be realistic on who is out there getting minutes.

dude suggs went 2-12 from 3............................

He lost us this game tbh. But still… can’t win when we miss a lot of 3s.

[basketballRob]

It would be nice if the Bucks lost. We'd still be percentage points ahead of them if they win.

That lineup was rough. Coach should most definitely get on the bench.

Not every game, just want us to protect home court as much as possible.
