2025 Playoffs: Round 1, Game 1: Heat @ Cavs - 7pm EST on 4/20

You see that scratch on Herro’s neck? Cavs need there get there coke nails in check

[eddieheatfan]

defense is garbage when random is scrubs have their career games at the heat's expense

But it's not really a team defense problem.

The cavs game plan was to hunt herro. Herros counter was to give up on plays. And spo just let them switch onto herro or put him into an action every trip down the floor. I dare anyone to find a playoff game where 1 person got hunted this mercilessly and the coach just let it happen. 1. Just 1.

Now guys are trying to overhelp on herro, so now we have open looks and an inability to grab rebounds.

It's a 1 person problem that the coaching staff had to have seen coming.

they have like 40 plus points in the paint bro and they started to shoot better from outside too late in the game thats on defense. our offense is not that great either but it kept us within range most of the game is just that they are better than the heat and that is all

This is where the refs make no sense. Remember when they took away the 3 because Tyler supposedly put his leg out? But someone when it's a defensive foul, they know to score the basketball but take away the call lol

[Beenie]

Herros neck lookin like Brad Pitt's in Inglorious Basterds

If the Heat are not gonna hit Burks for corner threes there is no reason to play him. Ball handling, defender, passing and shooting is needed in place of Burks and thats Larsson

[Enso]

Pure comedy. Every cavs action is involving herro. Spo getting obliterated by Atkinson.

Strus and Caleb Martin are better all-around players than Herro. We were a better team when he was the 6th man. Herro can spot-up shoot and make an occasional floater in the paint...that's about it.

Nah he's got more in the bag offensively than that but when he's off and playing this bad on defence he's a liability.

Too much firepower on this Cavs team

yeah i just turned off nice try not enough. the heat may win one game but thats it. this could be an embarrassing sweep

[Shewasfly]

This is a well rested team against a team that just clawed its way in. Like look at some of the nonsense that their guys are making lol

[Enso]

lol another bounce that leads to a big play for them. Been like that all night, they're playing with more energy though so deserved.

[twix2500]

Larsson is also an agitator to get under the skin of players

[Heat3]

Cavs in control whole game. Hopefully better results in game 2.

[MettaWorldPanda]

Jovic needs to be an equalizer for this series

[Heat_Down_Under]

I’ll take it.. back to back play in games on the road… 1st play off game on the road… atleast we weren’t like the grizzlies.. had a feel for the series now.. win game 2 and we back

Too much firepower on this Cavs team

Mind really says Cavs in 5

[oreon]

Anybody who is truly surprised that Mia is getting outclassed hasnt been watching this season

Had they played Knicks or Pacers they would have had a shot to win the series. Cavs are just soo much better than us. And we have no answer for Mitchell. Mitchell can drop 50 in any game if he wants. They can't keep on doing this play in thing. They need to be around the 3-5 seeds. If this is a quick series like its looking, they have to start prioritizing regular season or just tank

[Kobewade11]

We cant afford for two starters to combine for 8 pts. Spo might have to tweak the backcourt for game 2
