Hopefully not the last game of the season.

Spoelstra needs to find the way to win one game.

In my opinion Mitchel has to be the 6th man again and not start the game.

The starting lineup lacks size with Mitchel and the ball does not go to Herro and Wiggins in offense.

Miami has to put some size in order to guard the static shooters Strus and Jerome and the 2 bigs of Cleveland.

Let's go Heat!
Hope they have the pride to not get swept

Spo won't but he should play Ware/Larsson/Jovic/JJJ big minutes, that's all I want out of this game. Lets go into the offseason with them at least getting as much remaining playoff experience as possible. At least give the Jovic/Bam/Ware frontcourt lineup some extended run together against a team with good bigs.

Go down swinging, play your starters 40 minutes, play Bam and Tyler 46 and have them shoot 25+ shots a piece.

At least not two times in a row.
For a long time it gave me nightmares,witnessing an injustice like that.It’s a constant reminder of just how unfair this world can be.I can still hear them taunting him, Silly Rabbit tricks are for kids.I mean why couldn’t they just give him some cereal?

That's the other preferable option, sadly we'll likely see neither...

Let this abomination of a season end with this game. Honestly getting blow out by 20+ will force everything this front office is trying its best to ignore, real change and accountability. That’s the best long term outcome. No more band aid moves.

I hope you guys are prepared for 0-4. I don't see how Heat could win unless Bam and Wiggins step up big. both of them have been awol the whole series

Basicslly everyone knew that cleveland was going ti beat us and that theyre better than us.

The part that threw most everyone here off is just how wide the gap is, considering that we are paying Bam like a franchise player, considering Herro is seeking a max extension that will net him 50 mill per season so he too will be paid like a franchise player.. and yet we are so far off.

Adding 37 year old durant to this core changes nothing. All it does is add even more risks because youre adding 37 year old Durant with a 2 year 125 million extension that he is expecting.

Man garland really talked all that **** then sat the rest of the series while his bench unit cashed all his checks. Is what it is I guess, might as well rest when you’re playing a trash team

We’re about to find out real fast if these guys are ready for this drama filled season to end or if they still have some fight left in them

Who knew when he was showboating and blowing all those kisses to the Cleveland crowd he was saying goodbye for the series lol.

Return to Miami Heat
