Herro butler jovic bam ware 🏆📰🏀😐 , upgrade the bench before the trade deadline.
see get all those crusty last gen players out of the way the next gen might be good lol
If we still trade Jimmy we need a star. We have too many pieces coming off the bench to be trading Jimmy for 3-4 young guys.
When I saw the Heat had the game in the bag, I couldn't wait for this episode 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'd like to see a Butler, Hero, Adebyo, Robinson, and Ware starting 5
The Miami heat needs a true point guard bring dragic back or trade for Chris Paul or Westbrook
Postgame reaction: The Meh-Ami Heat era is officially in full swing.
Hero is not a true point guard he’s a shooting guard
Spo waited way too long, Ware could have been running away with the roty easy
Def should be matchup based until Ware can prove he can defend and stay out of foul trouble against more physical centers. Guys like Jokic and Embiid will give him hell, also guys like Valucinas, Nurkic, and Vucevic could give him trouble as well.

We need to put our best roster together to implement fear. Teams feared Bron, Dwade and Bosh. They left everything on the court!
Centers must improve in assist
We need a defsensive minded play making PG man i wish we had vincent still.. but a Lonzo Ball even a marcus smart would be great
Keep them together for the hold season
“KAL EL” WARE! HES SUPERMAN! IT JUST HIT ME! 😂
We need a 6"3 point guard and a Center .
You guys should be over the moon happy about this. Don't act like you eyes are deceiving you! We are 1 pg away from being a real problem in the east. Trade Jimmy for draft picks and a starting pg. Lets go Heat!
JJJ a tiny cookie crumb credit for participation
Jovic 3 ,Bam 4 , Ware 5
PG: JimmY
SG:Herro
SF/SG: Duncan
PF: Adebayo
C: Ware
Finally, now we just gotta trade Jimmy for a Real PG, and start that PG w/ Herro, Duncan, Bam, and Ware!!!
Unfortunately, Haywood Highsmith is going to continue to start till the Heat get the brakes beaten off them and then Spo will pull the trigger
Bam is not a Center. He is a Power Forward. Bam + Ware is normal rotation.
B-hold and B-Ware
Duncan best starting
Bam is trash sometimes good but always not good 😂
Spoe waited way too long to do this!!
Haywood under on points🙏😭 it’s a lock
Party pooper ramil
I truly don't understand why coach spo doesn't play ware as a starting five. Dude is a beast.
One thing I would love to say last year we did so many rotation and this year we refuse to make rotation when needs to 😂❤❤❤david you right let’s play who have the hot hand😅
B- WARE THE FUTURE IS NOW
You only play small ball when you have to. Where Eric Spoelstra messed up at, is that he went with small ball, first. I don't care how long it takes for K. Ware to develop. Him and Bam should start, and you start fixing problems from there. Smh this is not geometry at all. By the way, I'm sure Jimmy wanted this kind of play, even if he puts up 8 to 10 points. Stevie Wonder can see, this should have been the starting lineup
Monk is a PG master class in playmaking pick// roll👍. Wares motor may rear it's ugly head some time
I don't think we should do matchup based, ware should be the permanent center and Bam should be the permanent power
Heat org need to apologize to Jimmy and give him his flowers/respect, we finally have size after 5 seasons of small ball, if they can get Jimmy to lock in again this team could take out anyone in the playoffs. Assuming Spo actually plays Ware and Bam instead of putting out stupid lineups.
