Isn't he only making like 3 mil (small MLE?)? He'll be a huge upgrade over Myers. He'll ring chase if we win it all

Helluva 4th quarter. Maybe one of the best in Heat history. 3-0 On to game 4. Really don't know what to expect.

In the first year of a 4yr $52m deal Iggs. Woy.

Do. Not. Want. Wilts.

I saw so many times tonight where Lopez got stuck nowhere to go Yannis or Middleton begging for ball and he just turns around and jacks up shots. For a guy that tall he has horrible awareness when pressured. He's probably peaked 2 szns ago and won't age well.

Wade might have actually retired a year late if this team '04 Pistons it. :lol:

I thought maybe I just being a homer during the season but i honestly liked our chances vs any team in the league. Just an efficient multifaceted team thats confident, mentally and tough and resilient.

Lopez is only 32?! I take back "won't age well" part wilts. He'll probably be fine for the duration of the contract.

We don't need him taking up the cap space we are saving for Kawhi though

Why wasnt Kelly in the rotation? To get Myles some burn? Please no.

Unknown Knee injury. He was not even on active roster buddy. Thus Myers and more Nunn.

you know left click sensitivity's worst part is and1 (it hits twice so it's gone). I must have refreshed the page 100 times today to give everyone and1 AGAIN WTF

Also, big big shout out to Jae, Iggy, and DJJ. These dudes have also contributed when we needed them. Their size and athleticism does wonders for us defensively. And they have more than proven to hit those timely buckets when we needed them.

I'm also more confident in Iggy shooting a three than Nunn. Which is something I thought I'd never say.

Unbelievable comeback. Proud of the guys.

And Lebron lost.

Great night all round.

Thought this was a cool anecdote:

During Iguodala’s appearance on the podcast, he also revealed rookie KZ Okpala has been playing the role of Antetokounmpo on the Heat’s scout team.

“We got a guy nobody has ever heard of,” Iguodala said. “I call him Stanford kid, KZ Okpala. I don’t even know how to say his last name yet. I call him KZ, my fellow Nigerian brother. He has been kind of like the Giannis in our scout team. You talk about somebody coming with full speed, full force at you. He’s 6-8, can handle the rock and full force, and he’s strong and he’s wiry.”

I think KZ is going to be a pleasant surprise next year (hopefully). I glad he is getting practice and coaching during this playoffs. I was kind of worried that he just sitting and watching. Good stuff that he is being used in practice. Being surrounded by veterans like Iggy, Crowder, Butler and Goran is doing wonders for the young guys.

I was wet after hearing that on Bill Simmon's podcast. Do we even NEED Giannis?!!?

Tale of 2 halves. We defended them much better over the last 12 minutes.

More interested in looking into adding Wes Matthews on the cheap. If we can't retain Jae (hopefully due to making another big move) that is a fantastic replacement
