Happy for Jovic & Ware. They played great, and this is a big game for Jovic.

I think Herro took exception to Thompson going chest to chest to him (wasn't much), Herro went low and pushed through Thompson escalating the situation and both locked up at that point, Herro kept pushing forward until Thompson moved to the side and pulled/pushed him to the ground. Yeah, both are going to get tossed for that.

Somewhere Butler’s psyched & ready to rumble w/ his gritty squadran.
If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

Hopefully, we need a scapegoat!!


Bruh he literally sucks right now. Opposite side of a scapegoat.


Down 5 when he checked in, won by 4. Bam checked in with 9:16 left in the 4th, Houston scored 10 total points for the remainder of the game and 6 of them were 2 garbage time 3s no one was really defending.

Basketball is more than scoring but when he finally consistently snaps out of the funk it’s a wrap

Poverty franchise since 1995.
For a long time it gave me nightmares,witnessing an injustice like that.It’s a constant reminder of just how unfair this world can be.I can still hear them taunting him, Silly Rabbit tricks are for kids.I mean why couldn’t they just give him some cereal?

Not sure if I'm willing to give up no Niko yet MWP. Only 21 and a lot of room to grow.

I just explained it, it was a simple chest bump to say I'm on you, Herro took offense, bent down and PUSHED THROUGH THOMPSON, THEY BOTH LOCKED UP, HERRO KEPT PUSHING FORWARD UNTIL THOMPSON PULLED/PUSHED HERRO TO THE GROUND? How hard is it to understand. Most players don't do what Herro did when someone comes chest to chest to them, he could have just pushed him off him and laughed it off.

Also, not a bad thing moving forward for Herro to let people know he will fight back but he did enough to get thrown out, same for Thompson once he pulled/pushed Herro to the ground.

Maybe I'm not understanding this correctly....

Heat have $164 million on books next year. Including Butler's $52.4 mil player option, Rozier's $26.6 mil team option, and Robinson's $19.8 mil player option.

If Butler opts out and they don't pick up Rozier's option then the only have $86 out of $140 mil of cap. That's $54 million in cap space?

They probably want Butler to leave for somewhere else. It's possible they could also offer Duncan more money over longer years for additional cap space?

Not 100% sober, but that wasn’t too bad. Felt good to see Niko and Ware be effective. Bam’s offense was solid, too.

Thompson grabbed Herro by his jersey though. Herro never grabbed or put his hands on Thompson.

Makes sense that a player named Amen would start some **** on Faith & Family night in Houston.

Most of Rozier's salary is guaranteed, only like 1-2 million isn't. Half of Robinson's is also guaranteed.

Ware has unlocked Niko lol. We have a secret weapon bench front court. We do need another complimentary vet big so Jovic can continue his super sub role.

Return to Miami Heat
