2025 Playoffs: Round 1, Game 4: Cleveland @ Miami - 7:30pm EST on 4/28

Don’t think I’ve ever been more disgusted to be a HEAT fan, this is a fuxking embarrassment. I don’t remember a team ever quitting like this, especially after almost stealing a couple games on the road coming back home.

We haven’t won a home playoff game in 708 days, that streak will push to over 1,000 at minimum by next year

Firing/trading everyone and starting a multi year rebuild is so obvious rn

[VaDe255]

They are going for another record 70-25 rofl

[SA37]

Jovic has about 1/3rd of Miami's points

[DayofMourning]

Bam passes up multiple shots to the detriment of the offensive flow.

Show em how it’s done jovic

Honestly though almost halftime and not even 30 points yet in today's era that's just lack of pride. Cavs aren't that much better, team has straight up quit. Embarrassing to see, but it gives the front office carte blanche to move everyone at least.

The way I see it….this is the best case scenario. Riley & Arison can’t hide behind “we’re a piece away anymore” after this.

A combination of lack of assets and FO arrogance led to this atrocity, namely trying to strong arm Jimmy instead of just trading him in the offseason when you knew you weren’t gonna extend him (rightfully so by the way, & Lord knows what we could’ve gotten for him).

Did Spoelstra sit out the whole team and put fans in the game?

Isn't Wiggins signed through the same amount of time that we didn't want to extend Jimmy?

He's one year longer than Jimmy for way less money (30 mil vs Jimmy's 60-70).

Not that I want him here even that long, but he's definitely a movable contract. He's seen around the league as a guy who will put his nose down and be the garbage pail guy, which a lot of guys aren't willing to do. It just does nothing for us because the whole roster is garbage pail guys.

I would have taken Jimmy 10/10 over this. At least you can get rid of Herro or Bam in a trade for a first option and he's still someone who can create his own offense.

I know, I know, we need to get over it. But number 1 options are hard to come by in this league. Even if they are more of a 1b than a 1a like Jimmy. He was a gift to us by Wade and we gave him up for nothing basically. With zero plan on how to replace. Its frustrating.

Honestly both sides were better together than apart. Because GSW fans are only going to look at him as a disappointment if his season is over and they end up falling short this year. But once Riley called him out after the Celtics series you knew it was going to be over, and probably get messy. Both guys with too much ego.

Jimmy would have been better off swallowing his pride and playing out his contract and/or competing in the regular seasons. Pat would have been better off swallowing his and just paying Jimmy. Now both are in messier situations, though at least Jimmy got some of the money he wasn't getting here (kinda doubtful he continues to make max money after this deal but we'll see).

All that said, either way if Jimmy stays it still probably ends in a rebuild, maybe you have one more draft pick out of it if you time trading him a bit better. But this whole thing needs to be blown up, its a miracle they transitioned out of the big 3 era without multiple lottery years, but now its time.

Looks like high school kids beating up on middle schoolers

[KingDavid]

If you're Spo what do you even do at halftime? Do you go JJ Redick and play your starters the entire second half, or do you just load the team on the bus to beat the traffic?

Nope. Empty the bench. Lakers were playing to win. This squad quit. I almost don't want them in a heat uniform again. I hate quitters. That's why I was so mad at LeBron after 2011 finals.

[Heat_Down_Under]

Sub everyone out and surround jovic with all the G league boys

I will play for the vet minimum!

[DayofMourning]

Just fyi, in the play in games + the 3 games versus the Cavs, Kel'el Ware has averaged ~7 and 6 with 3 total blocks in about 20mpg

Hes like a doe in the headlights. Needs to get up to game speed.

Everyone of these dudes smoking weed.

Niko the GOAT.

Everyone else, in the bin.

Bam passes up multiple shots to the detriment of the offensive flow.

You can't say this out loud or you're calling injustice for Bam.

Or something like that

[Enso]

Niko the GOAT.

Everyone else, in the bin.

I agree

Lay off me. I am not as good as I used to be. I was never good, but I am not as good as I was either.

[Vertical Limit]

Look at Bam..and mfs want to make excuses like his hands aren't dirty here too

Sell. High.

Trade him..

Defensive of the year candidate, big guy.. olympic gold medals.. all star..

Sell high.. and get as much as you can .. do not set your franchise back because of some weird loyalty to kentucky basketball

Actually the end of the original 90's Heat squad was worse, although you said you started watching after that. Fall to Knicks 3 straight years in the playoffs, on buzzer beaters for the last 2, then finally upgrade the roster only to lose Zo to a rare kidney disease, and when Zo miraculously returns by the end of that season, lose to the Hornets in 3 massive blowouts where we get completely run off the court and Mashburn, the guy who constantly hid from the limelight against the Knicks, finally finds his nuts and goes crazy scoring like 25 a game and dominating us.

That was definitely the worst. The last two years are nothing compared to that sequence of events that was built up over like a 4 year period. It was so bad it forced Riles into his first retirement.
