Lopez and Portis are gonna push us around all game and then Bam and Dame will make out at half court after we lose the game.
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?

This team is COOKED. I knew, KNEW we weren’t title contenders but now I see that we are SOFT AF to go with it. You let this overpaid scrub Jaylen Brown nearly rip Duncan’s arm out of his socket, and thrown to the GROUND and not ONE heat player came to his defense. Not ONE.

Starting with ultra soft friendly buddy buddy Bam. He walked towards Brown then just…..turned around. Didn’t tell Brown a damn thing. In fact was seen after the game dapping up Brown and Tatum and laughing it up. No room on this team for soft antics like that. In that moment your teammate is to be backed up. I don’t care if it’s your lil buddy that committed the foul. When Kobe played Spain he RAN THRU Paul Gasols chest! Sent him flying. There’s no friends when the game starts. Get this garbage “leader” out of here.

Highsmith next, my dude you definitely ain’t being paid for your talent, you’re standing right there, saw the whole thing and you just……put your arms out like you asking for charity?! You are NOT what the Miami Heat culture stand for. I don’t want to see your scrub ass on the team next season. You also bricked a game tying shot final minute. Not even close. You don’t back up your teammate, you Brick open shots, useless!

Caleb, you see Duncan thrown to the ground and you start rubbing your ankle?! Oh you have a lil boo-boo? It hurts lil guy? Disgusted. Acting like a lil ankle tweak excuses you from backing up your teammate.

JJJ, you stood there, hands on your hip. Didn’t even help Duncan up. You could’ve solidified your place in Heat fans heart by getting in Browns face, maybe a shove? Something, a chance to show you have heart and instead you showed your just as soft as the rest of the guys listed above. Idgaf if you’re traded next season. I’ve seen better teammates have guys back in street ball.

Today these guys showed they are quite literally the SOFTEST Heat squad I have ever seen. Zo wouldn’t allow this, Haslem wouldn’t, PJ brown wouldn’t. This was pathetic. I’m now 100% certain this team is done. No heart, no fire. All buddy buddy. I hope Drob gets traded, to not have one guy have his back, absolutely PATHETIC. I’m sick of each and everyone of these overpaid BUMS.

I don’t care that we lost. If a lil scrum, shoving match, ANYTHING wouldve came from that Duncan Brown sequence I could forgive them for showing heart. Instead they all showed they have no balls. This group is not winning, you can forget that nonsense. If Jimmy was there I wonder what he would’ve done, from the looks of it, probably nothing just like the rest of the soft team

Need a healthy triple J, this one seems scared to get bumped in the paint and is settling for jumpers. Need the basketball gods to heal this team.

Prayers out to Jimmy as well

Bam had balls earlier in the game so I'm not sure he was in a position to say quit being dirty that particular game.
