Jimmy got CARRIED out of the ECF

Caleb was the MVP of that series, and Gabe was balling.


Exactly they played well in THAT series, where are they now? Like I said INCONSISTENT.

oh so they should carry jimmy the whole way?

Where is jimmy in all this? hes the supposed franchise player. he got carried, and still needs to get carried?

Would love to keep Jovic out of it


Too bad he’s gotta go, if it’s for Lillard you pull the trigger and don’t look back. You must not want Jimmy to get a ring? Times running out and Lillard is on his timeline. After the Lillard and Jimmy era you team Bam up with Donovan Mitchell and walk into the new era with your head held high.



Why you projecting such a silly stance on me?

I’m just saying Miami shouldn’t eagerly offer him up if it can happen without him. I think I’d rather add another future first

People here get on Malone but I can appreciate the way he’s managed his team going back to the WCF. That last sentence is what this group has been falling victim to ever since they played with their food and didnt close out Boston early.


He’s doing a good job of riding a generational specimen and deriving confidence from Jokic that he can channel into the rest of the team. It makes him come off as an absolute prick tho and his fall from grace will come at some point


I say this w/ respect for the nuggets team but them mother f*ckers are lucky they ain't facing a fully healthy Jimmy.
If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

It’s incomprehensible that you’re a casual who knows nothing about basketball. Dwight and AD ate our lunch in 2020 because we think 6’9 Bam is a center , Horford and Williams bend him over their lap every time we play them, Jokic, who skips past the weight room is dominating are itty bitty bigs. Put your glasses on playboy


lol pobrecito

Dwight averaged 11 mpg against us in the finals. LA literally benched him bc he was a liability. He was -16 for the series. Bam legit missed half the series out with injury.

Dwight Howard is old washed and playing in China. Sit down. Know your role and stfu



Yeah, Dwight bodied his a$& and that’s why he injured his shoulder. Know your role little boy. Been in this basketball game since I was 8, I know a little about the sport. Go grab your self a cafecito and croqueta’s and bump that reggaeton in your Honda Civic with the chromed out muffler. I know your type.

It’s a team sport nobody is getting carried, without Jimmy we wouldn’t even be out of the first round.

We need Nurkić in the deal also. His name sounds like
Jokic and that’s good enough for me.

Nurkic? Lol he's gonna clog the lane with Bam.

Goodness gracious.

This team never looked the same after game 3 against Boston. All the energy was just zapped from this team. They did smack Boston in game 7 but Boston is mentally weaker. The team has constructed is likely always going to run out of gas. We have to do so much more than everyone else all of the time. The more talented teams don't have to play at 110% to win.

Malone’s dna written all over his team’s post game pressers. They watched the Boston series and he gave those boys their marching orders that they were not to provide any bulletin board material.


They rested, watched every one of our games, studied us & game planned while we were still @war. The luxury they had. While we fought adversity every step of the way w/ injuries & facing top 2 teams in the league. Credit to them, they did their job & capitalized off them.

I tell ya what though....if we bolster our squad nxt season & we get another shot at a title.....WE ARE NOT LOSING!!!

Does a healthy Jimmy realistically even exist in the finals considering the way he plays and how many games it take to get here. At this point this is who he is. Nothing wrong with being 0-2 in the finals and losing to Lebron and Jokic.

We need to do everything we can to lighten the load on Jimmy on offense next year. We need to make some serious trades if possible. We've never been shy about being win now. Now is the time to roll the dice. If we can get Jimmy with gas and not having to be Superman for the first 3 series (well 2 anyways) then we'll be in much better shape. Too much responsibility on him. I know he's our star but he's not that guy who could do that an entire playoff run. Bam is never going to be that guy. We desperately need a #1 option on offense.

The positive here is Bam is growing, building that well needed toughness, gaining more experience carrying an offensive load. He is well playoff & battle tested. WHEN we make another Finals there will be no more excuses for Bam, not the 3rd time. No more missed bunnies, hesitations and shrinkage.

I think he's twisted his ankle in all the bubble finals, ECF vs Boston last season and now these PO's. I don't know why this stubborn, macho man doesn't just wear a damn ankle brace. He'd actually be smart to wear one considering his history. Curry did it after so many ankle sprains.

This is where landing another scorer can help alleviate the load off Jimmy. A Lillard or Beal. Like, i'm over Beal but we need a scorer. It's all we've been missing.
