Now it is not pretty, shame on you!
you were the first one to say Jemmy has to go.
Jimmy 💪🏾
Some fans really were delusional and thought this team currently constructed could compete without jimmy lol
Take out Jimmy, and this team has no direction and no leader on the team. This is the worst game I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of games in my lifetime 😡
Miami Heat definitely lost in the trade we made for Butler 😩😩😩
A lot of those minus numbers for Highsmith was playing alongside Terry!!
How the hell has Bam gotten this far in his career if he isn’t a “lob threat”? You have to be blind to not understand that the defense rotates to prevent Bam lobs, plus nobody on this team is even good at throwing them. The team at one point was 2 for 20 from three… guess what I’m digging in to cut off roll attempts because your shooters are throwing bricks.
Bam is a lob threat and it’s crazy to say he isn’t. He’s not a S tier one but that’s a different conversation.
Where was Mitchell in the fourth quarter? Instead we get turnover after turnover. The starters played well to start the game, why didn't they finish?
Jimmy was the problem 😂😂😂 It was so much easier for Pat to get another star player for the past four seasons, but all he got was two aged players in Lowry and Love.
capturetheFlagg
THIS MY OPINION!!!!!!!
If we don’t make the playoffs and the Warriors do, we have two top 10 protected picks automatically. We would just have to see what number in the draft lottery we would be. Plus in the 2026 free agency class, we will have cap space to sign a max player. Luka Dončić has NOT committed to the Lakers so why not believe that we can’t sign him? I strongly believe the Heat will be in play considering the team that we have in place now is catered to Luka Dončić‘s game and I believe it will unlock everybody potential…. once again this draft that’s coming up is a very deep draft so if the Heat end up getting the two top 10 protected draft picks plus all the cap space in 2026 with the foundation in place already with Bam, Herro, and Ware, the league will hate us. I feel like we are tanking for this reason….I feel like Mickey, Pat, Andy, and Zo have sat and talked about this! Let’s tank and prepare for this great up and coming draft and the future of this organization.
You guys haven’t mentioned duncan robinson! he’s been terrible this season! not as bad as terry rozier but close.
Mr Sniffles not a Captain Herro not the future Rozier not a Baller team full of Frauds jimmy seen this and ran
U r where you are because you have relied so heavily on Mr butler getting you shots or antics he is gone and the cracks are beginning to show. Don’t blame any of the new guys most of the players on this team other than the heavy reliance on bam and hero (hero has to learn to share the ball more as when he collapses it’s awful cause the rest of the players that have been there look clueless.
Without Hero scoring 30+ the Heat offense dies.
I couldnt believe how fast you Miami Heat "fans" turned on Jimmy….. Yall deserve what you get….. GO WARRIORS !!!!
🤦🏽♂️
I would bring bam or Ware off the bench and run
Hero
Robinson
Wiggins
Anderson
Bam or Ware
Herro the chucker is back!
Obvious, no pick\roll or pick and pop. These two big s need it. Duncan yo-yo 😂 Buy outs?
They're really not that bad, they just have to figure out how to close. I believe that if they figure that out, they'll be pretty good. Have the right closers
Sink baby sink, two top 15 picks, yes sir. Now just need thw coach to play and develop the young players.
Why didnt Spo bring back Mitchell and Kelel in the 4th? They were the only ones actually scoring in the paint, rebounding and defense 🤷♂️. The shooting was awful but they were in the game, why didnt he bring those 2 who are starters and were actually productive back in? This was on Spo as much as the shooting struggles
the heat wont get a top 7 pick
Everyone talking about Jimmy as if the team wasn’t still play in team WITH him. Nothing has changed
35:45 someone explain what he means: not good enough to avoid a play in??
HEAT are HORRIBLE………TANK……please………………………….no chance to advance in playoffs!
Holding coaching responsibilities , stop giving the man excuses. Sad and pour adjustments. Minute management.
Losing NJ to a broken hand is a killer for our bench…Ware is a rookie….we just don't have quality players/depth to compete!! Lots of very mediocre players!
Can we just tank, please
LETS GO HEAT!…. lets go HOME!!!!
