That first half was beautiful basketball. I gotta say, i have hated this nba season the most, because its been a lot of chucking threes, little defense, seems like there is barely any gameplan and just coaches letting kids run around on recess..


This was the best half of basketball ive seen from the Heat all season and probably all of last season too.. and i went to the game last year where we won by 50+ points setting a franchise record.

Its a better brand of basketball to watch than just run around and shoot off balanced threes..

Think we only missed 5? 11/16.

Tyler Herro is playing like **** offensively by his standards.

Arguably the best half of the season but has MAJOR let down vibes for the 2nd half. Got a bad feeling about this one, 21 point lead down to 11. Terrible perimeter play to close

Imagine that.

Not that I'm complaining, but wtf happened to OKC this half? Just tuning in.


Absent of those two prolific turds, we have established a rhythm. Our defense has been excellent. Lineup riddled with very good defenders now.

If Jovic could hit a wide open 3, this could have been a monster lead.

That was a slow methodical first half. Love it

Man my heart almost dropped when Mitchell made that wide open trey. Whew

what a first half for the heat. it has been really fun to watch but they have to come out with the same or even a better effort in the second half. bam is killing it am happy for him and i hope this its his awakening as a force for the remainder of the season

by the way, please send duncan and rozier to the g-league. these guys are albatross. look how the heat is playing in their absence

Love Mitchells defense, SGA used a screen to get a switch to Herro guarding him the one possession and Mitchell came running over to switch right back when he saw there was a chance. I never see that with Heat players recently they just allow the switch and roll with it. Davion wouldn't let him hunt Herro.

If Wiggins can turn his offensive level up this could be a great win

Love to see Davion instructing tyler to switch over so that he can stay on the ball handler. Too many times our team is in a bad matchup and don't switch.

A good half overall. Had we hit a couple of those open 3 pointers we'd be up more.

Bam looks real good directing his team. Seeing him talking, calling plays and taking his team under his wing is great to see

Jaime has lost his spot to Pelle, Burke, and Highsmith based on him not playing tonight. Would love to include
Him as a sweetener in a good deal this summer while he still has some semblance of value

I'm not exactly sure what I was watching, but I'm hoping I see it again in the 2nd half.

This team isn’t perfect by any stretch, but you can see glimpses of the Heat basketball that we love so much.
