Crazy how bad this team is missing a fire breathing engine like this from the PG spot.

I was never the biggest Dragic supporter but he was indeed sensational during the bubble playoff run.

I hope Heat find a way to retain Mitchell. He still has ways to go offensively, but I think his approach is right.

Miami is staring right at that 8th slot. Going to be hard to move up much farther though.

We’re now 10th in the East after the Bulls win, if the blazers close it out they’ll also jump us and put us at the 9th pick. LETS GO!!!

I wish we had never traded that man for Lowry. We would have been much better off financially...and probably even on the court. Plus, The Dragon should have retired in a Heat jersey.

Wade didn’t warn him that Pat was washed when he gift wrapped him to Miami


Oh, what could have been.....

One day, we will win a chip w/ Bam, Herro & Duncan on the roster!
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

Out of our remaining games, I believe Miami only plays 3 against teams with worse records than us.

2 of those r against the Spurs who are one slot ahead of us now with the 8th pick.

Spo needs to go on a hiatus for the rest of the season. Take some time to get himself together and put in an assistant coach on the team to get some experience. That experience will be invaluable next year when Spo is locked in his game programming and needs intervention.

The loss of Niko Jovic was the final dagger into this team and it’s piss poor depth at the 4 spot. This FO clowned around disregarding both the PF and PG spots and now they finally get to reap the rewards of there piss poor roster construction. Bam and Ware and the rest of the team need's a legit stretch 4 with size and playmaking guards. Jovic has to be considered a long term piece here for these bigs but we also need to supplement the core with a starting 4 like Markkannen. He’s historically one of the best 3 point shooting bigs in the NBA. Feel like he could have a Porzingis type impact here

I don’t think that’s right, we’ve already played them twice so we should be done considering they’re western conference. I do know we play the Hornets again and the Wizards twice though

We’ll need to snag Trae if we’re getting Lauri considering 85% of his offense is created by others off assists and we have the worst perimeter playmakers in the league.

GSW lost last night. Pick currently in the 22nd slot. Would be nice to get that pick back into the top 20

You are right. I mustve been looking at GSWs remaining games. Oops.

Finally saw a good team (even without Jokic) and lost, not shocked. If Steph isn’t going supernova they’re cooked and he’s only been doing it since Jimmy got there because he felt extra motivated and wanted to get them off to a great start, he’s going to wear himself down.

They have the Bucks tonight on the 2nd night of a back to back and the Bucks coming off a loss Sunday to the Thunder, let’s hope the Bucks don’t sit anyone and they should be able to get it done

6 pretty winnable games in our last 14.

Need someone to get the flu before we play NOP and WAS.
