1. Spo really not going play Jovic and Jamie, just get blown out by 20+ then.

2. Garland is so small that the shots he has to take to survive are absurd. His lack of violent explosiveness makes it even tougher. The skill you have to have to be playable with his physical tools is wild.

3. I’m so ready for a gambling scandal during the playoffs so the leagues actually do something to stop the unbearable onslaught of gambling ads every time I even think about watching a sports game.

4. I really wish there was a rule that you can’t call a timeout if the home team’s crowd is above a certain decibel level

5. Sleeper Agent Max Strus divulging all the Zombie heat secrets so the cavs are immune

6. I’m a little annoyed with this TV crew. I want them to talk about the game, not what they’ve done during the season.

7. Heat getting too stagnant offensively

8. MOVIE.

9. Friendly reminder Donovan’s on the Heat if Silver and McCollum didn’t ruin free agency

10. It’s still Heat in 5

11. We need Niko back asap

12. The more NotDonovan Mitchell dribbles, the better for our defense.

13. I never want to meet a human being who actually watches TLC

    TV exploiting white trash to be served to more white trash

14. Remember when Warriors fans voted Andrew Wiggins in as an All-Star starter? lol

15. I know Wiggins had his moment with GSW but he is still thoroughly frustrating and not very fun to watch. Having him dick around with the ball for 10 seconds and then take an off-balance 3 to beat the shot clock is an awful way to spend a possession in the playoffs. Quit it. 

16. So glad Wiggles is off my team

17. “aye, aye, AYE” – Spida

18. Ahh yes, sounds of the game: AYYYY

19. Why include the soundbite if you cut it off midsentence

20. 1000 lb sisters? seems weirdly exploitative

21. You haven’t farted then it ain’t real yet

22. On gambling taking over:

    There is a darkness reaching like rust into everything around us. We let it grow, and now it’s here. It’s here and it’s not visiting anymore. It wants to stay.

    …in anticipation of Andor coming out this week lol

23. Did they really just show us an “ayyyeeee!” compilation for Mitchell’s mic’d up teaser?? 😭

24. Ball security is cheeks so far. Like cmon guys at least miss the shot if you’re not going to score

25. Tyler is so fkin cold man lol. Can’t believe this sub thought and continues to think he’s overrated

26. A little too much Davion going on right now

27. All these double teams are really killing the heat, so many wide open shots cause they flash a double team and it hasn’t produced anything good for them

    Need to just play single coverage on mitchell and garland and live with the results

28. 22 will take over like always

29. This day is turning out to be the most boring day of playoff basketball.

    Here’s hoping Warriors vs Rockets deliver.

30. What do we need to do to get competitive playoff games?

31. 90% of mitchell’s micd up was ayy

32. The number 1 seed is better than the number 8 seed.

33. You’d think the heat of all teams would know not to leave Strus open

34. Play offs gonna be boring AF this year with all these match ups and blow outs.

35. Garlands 3s are so pretty

36. Please let the Warriors vs Rockets be close

37. Why is Strus not missing all his shots like a real friend would??

38. The color scheme match up *and* the fact that both teams have a Mitchell #45 is really throwing me off

39. Darius Garland > Trae Young

    I am firmly on this hill

40. All I ask is for no blowouts in the playoffs 🤲

41. Garland is getting Herro switched on him every possession

42. If they’re going to shoot like this from the 3 there’s not much we can do unfortunately

43. spero dedes commentates every basketball game like he’s never seen anyone do anything on the court before

44. This was a close game recently.
