Cool. I don't believe lamelo ball will ever be a top 10 player in the NBA personally. He hasn't even been available to play in 60% of the NBA games for his career to date, has never played in a playoff game and has never reached NBA average efficiency. But go off.

Dont know if this is supposed to be a cryptic way of implying Bam is "that guy"

How impactful was he in the 4th?


Not everything is a cryptic message. Just sharing how he impacts the game nightly. I know some fans can't stand to see him on the floor tho.

Seems like a deeper message in here



Heat have had three games this season where they have scored single digits in 4th quarter. There is only one other team that has one 4th quarter game in single digits. Better figure that out quick


"defense wins championships"

I am pretty sick of Miami being so negligent on offense. It's not even the single-digit 4th quarters; Miami has consistently been one of the worst offensive teams in the NBA. There's just no reason to accept that.

It’s so funny to me how fans just dismiss 50% of the game (defense) like it isn’t just as important to winning

Spo loves himself an “equal opportunity offense” when in reality he should be putting the heavy scoring burden on his stars and let everyone else fall in line. Should’ve been this way the entire Jimmy era. Feel like we’re the only team that does that nonsense

if FO doesnt get Bam a real star the offseason and keep forcing the Tyler thing, Bam is gone. He has too many friends around the league to sit and rot with a bad coaching staff and a FO that believes Herro is a lead guy.


He's not at the level you can call coaches out publicly. You gotta be all nba to do that in my book to do that. He's been great past 8 - 10 games, easily their best player in that stretch. But overall for the season its a drop down from last year. He can't be doing the public thing when he's not having a great year. If he was consistently playing at all nba level maybe we win a couple more games and are not under 500. So Bam need to worry about his own performance. Whatever he feels the staff is doing wrong, he can bring it up in team meetings. But going public ain't the way especially since he's the team leader.
If he feels he would be better served elsewhere that his prerogative to put a trade request in. But do it privately lets not go through the Jimmy thing again.


It’s not just that he’s not at the level where you can call out coaches publicly, although that is definitely true. It’s that he’s been garbage for the majority of the season. We don’t have the record that we do if he had been even remotely looking like a professional basketball player Prior to the past 8 to 10 games.

That said, I wonder how the FO and coaching staff respond. Especially considering that a public call out against Jimmy was something that has continuously been said was a big part of the beginning of the fallout, and that they defended. What about when it happens in reverse? Will they take it on the chin like they wanted Jimmy to? Time will tell. I bet Bam kind of has the battery in his back now too with Jimmy gone and him being the only “star” left on the team and feeling empowered as the one lifeline that the organization has left.



he grew nuts playing like he shld’ve this season w/ the emergence of Ware making things easier for him…..suddenly he calling everyone out publicly. Ain’t that some sh*t. He’s absolutely correct tho but keep it in house & perhaps set up a meeting to address the issues.
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

All in constant, tiring support of his bf Bam since he got here. So f*ckin lame & tiring. If Bam was as good as claimed you wouldn’t need to defend him 24/7 of your waking life lol

A lot of low IQ fans with you leading the charge. I’m kn here educating, you all just like to ignore the truth. You all Treat Herro the same way I treat Bam so what’s it matter? Bunch of fuxkin player fans. And it’s hilarious how you always mention that you blocked me but you literally respond to every post I’m in, you can’t get it out of your mouth.

Whatever you do DO NOT defend the best player on your team and future top 5 player in your teams franchise history from absolute nonsense takes like he’s Tristan Thompson/Joel Anthony/Clint Capela etc. The PPG bandits will band together against you and label you as a player only fan because they ironically hate the best player on their team and LOVE to **** on him

SGA stated the 4th quarter against us last night.


Bam is 27. Herro is 25. They are the same age as the Tatums, the SGAs, etc. Why can't we:

a) start them in the 4th and give them a 2 minute blow with 7 or 8 minutes left, or
b) insert them into 4th early, i.e. with 10 minutes left (not with 6-7 minutes left).


SGA played 39 minutes last night. Bam played 35. Herro played 32. You're on the road against the best team in the NBA, in a hostile territory. Your main guys are going to have to play big minutes in order for you to pull off the W.


I'm not advocating for Spo to pull a Thibodeau and start playing our guys 40+ minutes a night. But they need to put in high 30s, especially on the road in a hostile environment.


If im not mistaken OKC fielded their starters to start the 4th when scores were close. We did not. I usually leave coaching alone as Spo’s had a lot of success especially w/ doing more w/ less. but have had enough of constant collapses. Hopefully they’re on it & address the issue moving forward.
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

Really wondering whether the Sixers smell our blood in the water. They are not that far behind us, and we are pathetic now. Dallas is a weak team, especially without AD. I don't even think they will make the playoffs once everything is sorted out.

A lot of talk about a KD trade to Miami in the summer. Would yall do a Wiggins / Robinson/ Ware/ Jovic for KD type move? A big 3 of sorts with Bam/Herro/KD.

Nah. They're 3-7 in last 10 same as us. They are 6 games behind in the loss column with less than 30 games to go. They're not passing us. I wouldnt be suprised if Sixers pull the plug on Embiid and PG13 and went full tank mode.

Suns are 26 - 28 with KD playing 41 games. He's putting up numbers but they're having no impact. Why would it be different here with lesser talent. I'll pass on KD. Especially if its costs Ware.

They’re 2-11 without KD, 24-17 with him not counting any other factors like Beal and Booker missing last nights game. That record has them at a win pace of the 6th seed in the west not far off of 4th. His numbers do have impact.

Owing mostly to their great start. They started like 12 -2. Since then they been aweful. He's missed some in that stretch but he has also played. They've lost the last 4 games he has played again. 2 of which are against Portland. And recent loss against Houston who are 3 -7 in last 10. This is nowhere near the impact of prime KD. You need him close to that version of that guy to be able to drag this team to be anywhere near competitive to Boston. Don't forget he lost to Celts 2 seasons ago with a better roster than the Heat have no way. And the celtics have gotten better.
Trade for KD does absolutely nothing except get us knocked out in 2nd round at best. To give up a 20 year 7 ft who can potentially space the floor and protect the rim and be able to use him to guard Wemby is short sighted and dumb.
You have to realize where you are. And where Heat are not close. When you are not close you don't throw away you few assets for a 36 year old to get to beat in 2nd round.

Return to Miami Heat
