We are 21st in rebounding differential. Maybe even lower after tonight.

We have to have mobile bigs out there. We cant concede the advantage every night.


Only 25 minutes for Ware and vs Vuc was another Spo special tonight.


I think hes lost his mind a little. Hes masterminded himself into a dummy.

Thats an offseason problem to address.

Butler was worse. Final 20 secs in a ECF game 7. He could have tied but went for the win. It was a 1000 % worse. It was so stupid


Butler had a great defender on him who’s bigger, Tyler had Casper


80 year Al Horford. He could have gotten past him if he wanted to.

And again game 7 you are down 2 with 18 secs left. You have to go for the high % play. Butler was trying to be a hero.
And this is ultimately a meaningless game in the long run. Had Herro made the 2 pointer we still loose. So comparing the two is makes no sense. This games compared to game 7 ECF means nothing


Age doesn’t matter, still an elite bigger defender back pedaling towards the rim. If he makes the shot he’s a hero

I been saying he needs to take a sabbatical. Full health team and he could not beat the ninth seed.

We are playing 2 bigs. Ware just needs to get physically stronger and muscle guys out for rebounds. Put him on that Giannis program

Who has said we’d beat the Cavs in a series?


A few random wackos have suggested that Mia could potentially upset them

That was close to prime Jimmy. I'd Butler to make a 2 or get fouled by Horford 999 times out 100. Horford wasn't stopping that version of Butler without help

I’ll be happy when we draft Jase Richardson with the 11th pick and trade the GSW pick in a package for Durant.

And its been a consistent trend this year with his subs, especially in the 4th quarter.

It might be at a point where he just needs to take a bit more time off. Dudes had a lot on his plate.

Was there any reason why we didn't put Bam on Giddy?

Low key this is where we lost the game. Did anyone on the team even have double digit rebounds?


Gidds and Vuc probably had 30 between the two of them. They dominated the glass.

Just like Butler helped glue the Warriors together i can see Durant having that same effect with us. Sometimes all it takes is just one dynamic player to bring it all together.

The thought of adding a top 5 scorer the league has ever seen who would be the the most pure bucket getter to ever wear a Heat jersey has some fans disgusted and it’s so wild to me.

You cant win with low iq 1 way players.


It was a dumb decision. But we would have lost game anways. This was a team loss, can't put it solely on Herro. Despite his ups and downs he's one of the few that gets a passing grade for the season. He had a really good season. Would have a great season if not for the 6 weeks where his offense struggled.
We can agree that we don't want to pay him the 50 mil max. But lets be fair. He is not a loosing player. He's just not a no 1 option or a 50 mil player.


It would have been a 3 pt lead with a minute left.

I do think he's a losing player, at least right now he is. It's not talent, it's the iq. You win by limiting him and playing to his strengths. He's simply a gunner. Bad teams overpay these types of player. And none of these types are ever a winning player as a major piece.

Bam is a winning player. Ware has the makings of a winning player. Wiggins has already proven it. Jovic might be as well, but need to see more.

Others (big minute contributors), im not sure about in a 16 game season in the playoffs.

But why hasn't been the glue for his last 2 teams.
33-29 this season is horrible for a top 10 player.
Any neutral analyst would his stints with Nets or Suns failures.
His last truly great year was the Nets runs where they got eliminated by Bucks. Since then his record is spotty. His teams just havent been elite and eventually end up collapsing. And fans here are quick to absolve him of any blame. The suns are awful and he was playing. He gets a lion share of the blame and next up is Booker. When you are all nba guy you gotta do better than 53 % win which what they were with him on the roster,

I am not saying he's a bad player. He's just not MVP top 10 level. That's the level of player Miami needs to drag this team past the 2nd round. Going after KD at his age is just pointless. With this roster, the ceiling is 2nd round and each year he will get worse
