Round of applause for our team because I know although we failed they put a lot of heart and soul into it. I want to cry for Jimmy because he's such an incredible leader and so tough, so I know its killing him to go out like this. And I know its really hard for him because he too knows this was his shot. One he may never get again :cry:

Same for Spo. Say what you want about his stubbornness to stick with the zone and about his substitution patterns (and I said it too), but he along with Jimmy are the reason we were able to overachieve to the extent that we did. He coached his ass off.

He’ll get better with it. He had too big a ball handling responsibly in the Finals once Gogi and Bam went down.

Back in the lab and fixing up the weaknesses. He’s got a ton of potential to get better.

Yeah all that chit is nitpicking at this point. Herro is going to be a stud and should be starting 2 next year.


starting 1, we need robinson to start too

Andre drummond

He would kinda cost us though. Especially dealing with Cavs.

The most reasonable i can see is getting Helmet Head in Lopez. He would fit the mold pretty good.

If AD was smart, he'd sign with the Heat. LeBron is already 35 and will be in the decline soon. Sign with the Heat and form a dynasty in the East with James Butler.

Goran was a warrior tonight. UD must have had choice words for Bam tonight because he was a different player after halftime.

Agreed. His ball-handling is the next step in his progression, but his shooting and balls are much better than advertised :D

I've had a little more time to think about this and I still think Alex Caruso has one of the most punchable faces in the world.

I dont think drummond would be a good fit for u guys he'd fit better with the celtics if they ever pursue him.

Props to Spo. He had a great season. Bam needs to work 24/7 on his mid range shot and to start working on the 3 point as well

It was a great season overall. Like i said before the game, we werent suppose to be here according to everyone but the Miami Heat and of course us the fans.

There will be some tough decisions in the offseason. There will be teams calling for a Bam/Herro package but Riley wont do it unless it comes with a superstar player in return. Tough decisions to be made by individual players like Goran, Jae, Kelly will opt in for sure.

Bam Adebayo’s agent will be constantly calling for a max extension, and with Dak Prescotts injury today, now more than ever im against not giving players their extension when they deserve it.

Next season we will see Kevin Durant, Curry, Kyrie, Klay, and many others back in the league. Its going to be a very different league than the one we just played in. On top of that, we will see fans back in certain cities (dependent on their local government). Miami will have fans availability so long as Suarez and Gimenez is around.

We knocked out the #1 seed in the NBA (Bucks) in the second round, knocked out a team that everybody had going to the Finals in the ECF (Celtics) & took the eventual NBA Champions (Lakers) to 6 games as a 5th seed... Hell of a season man, now let’s get another star around Jimmy next year.

Not sure i like Herro at the point but we might have to do it out of necessity especially with Gogi rehabbing.
