  5. Welp. Don’t know how he played through 3 more quarters of basketball if it’s serious.

    Terry, we need you more than ever.

  7. No hate to jimmy but why was he even out there after he got hurt? He really couldn’t do anything

  13. Yep. Play the scrubs on Friday. Please don’t win. Rebuild in the offseason

  14. Coast all season just to get hurt in the first big game. This is some cruel karma. Friday feels even more irrelevant now.

  15. Welp, time for draft/trade talk.

    Hopefully it isn’t that bad but at this point we have no cushion as a team.

  16. best player hurt in a pointless “play in” game while we are 7 games ahead of the 9 seed. Fuck Adam Silver man this league is fucking terrible under his leadership

  17. Shitty way to end this shitty season. Perhaps fortunately, MCL is nowhere near as bad as ACL. Time to just focus on not running it back. Enough is enough.

    Playoffs are all but over but it was never gonna be like last season with the team so injured and disrupted (and flawed as a roster, although that’s a different conversation.)

  18. Just trade Jimmy and Herro, get whatever picks you can, and target someone in the draft.

    Bam, JJJ, Rozier, and Jovic is solid. Pair them with some solid vets and draft selections.

  23. Damn Jimmy 🥺. Fuck you Obre. Much love to you Jimmy get better ☝️‼️🐐

  24. Championship window officially closed. Fuck Pat Riley for doing nothing to get us over the hump in the entire Jimmy era

  27. Win or lose Friday, Jimmy isn’t playing against the Celtics, and thats the season folks. Very fitting end to everything with 2 guys out and a 3rd guy getting hurt in a game we end up blowing in the 4th quarter.

  28. This man really toughed out 3 quarters with an MCL injury. Chapeau to Jimmy.

  29. We win next game without him. Go down 0-3 to Boston but he returns and we beat Boston in 7, we sweep the Bucks with the Same trade package outscoring Dame every game and then Bam averages 30/10/10 against the Sixers to advance for a rematch with the Lakers where Jimbo G Buckets hits the game 7 winning shot with a 3 as time expires…

    We are the champions and He’s a LEGEND!!

    Someone tell me I’m wrong Dammit!!!!!!

  30. Sucks. He was actually looking like a REAL two way star before he got hurt. This is why I hated us being in the play in because you never know what may happen

  31. Serious knee injury could tank all of next year for Jimmy. Not to mention he is 34, and a UFD after next season.

  32. I’m hoping Riley and company realize we need to move on from this iteration of the team. Two straight years of stagnant offense, blown leads, and 8 seeds isn’t going to cut it. It’s been a great run but it’s just time to move on.

  33. I’m gonna be sad, and probably cry this really sucks this was our last chance to get Jimmy a championship ring. And now it all ends the to fucking Oubre and REFS and Herro selling.

  34. Welp if its the end, then I think it will end like this:

    Spolestra will be forced to rely on Bam, Herro, Jovic, and the young guys to lead now. This is the ultimate trial by fire now for the young guys to emerge. Copium, hope, or whatever, this felt like an inevitably; now, we embrace it and face it head on. Honestly, I want to see us go all the way strangely enough and think we can. I wait to see how the wind blows now that we aren’t forced to rely on Jimmy. Let’s get it.

  37. It’s so fucking heartbreaking man, this is not the way the Jimmy era should end.

  39. I don’t care. I’m still confident we’ll win against the Bulls/Hawks and then the Celtics. Heat in 4

  42. Eff it, it’s the Bam, Niko, Tyler & Jaime show on Friday. Let’s see how our young core does.

  43. Untimely injuries have been the story of this era, shit’s is so unfortunate because the team has been so close to the end goal only for freak injuries to happen all the time.

  45. Gross… especially in a play-in game that could have easily been avoided had we taken things seriously down the stretch

  47. Well we really should have won this game, beating Boston without Jimmy would be a lot harder than beating the Knicks

    If we even beat the Bulls

  48. The coaching staff and health/Doc/training staff get a big F this season. You can’t let him play 3 quarters like that
