Miami Heat’s Tyler Herro Scores 40 But Team Blows Another Lead vs Milwaukee Bucks | Locked On Heat

Well jimmy won again, homie looking good with another killer 😂😂😂😂…..from 11th place to 5th says a lot. Better start asking Pat some questions 😂😂😂😂😂 this looks like a SUPER REBUILD to me lmao
Wes had a great point. When TH comes out. Heat have only 1 option AB. Finally draw a play 4 AB
Dawg I’ll never be convinced that Wes hasn’t always just outright hated Jimmy 💀💀 the can’t credit him with anything
What happened to Spo? He went from a top coach to letting doc rivers out coach him?
Tank by giving Ware as many shots as he wants; develop the long lean rookie. But I'm the self-proclaimed # 1 Ware fan from Indiana. Coach Spo should have played Ware from day 1. Play Highsmith and Burkes too, develop the youngsters and give them the rock. I refuse listening to people touting Lost ma Joy No Buckets Quit playing for 48 million Jimmy. Does Tyler really want Ware competing for the best offensive player on this team? Are we tanking already 4th Qs
I thought this roster is better after trade as you have kept being hyped on.
Jimmy Butler 18points game
Heat fans reaction-God Damn this old ass never treat regular games seriously. He is totally useless. Trade him!!!
Warriors fan reaction- god damn this dude is so good he only needs to score 18points and make every teammates better as a team player in every plays and step up when team needs him the most.
So what's the main difference?
The reason is simple. When you have Bam or Curry as your 1a/1b options in team lead you to such different results.
At this stage, Im happy for JB finally have a good franchise and larger stage to let ppl recognize what he can do.
And being respect by getting paid by Warriors FO.
JB led this heat roster achieve what they shouldn't achieve. And this make whole franchise too arrogant for both fan base and FO. Now everyone in this broken roster has nowhere to hide. It's time to face your own stupidity.
We only win when Bam plays great. Yesterday did Bam rebound in second half? Missing 9 threes is bad…..
Tyler thinks he is that , that's the problem
I honestly think Tyler's dicision making in the 4th quarter was poor. He took too many 'hero ball' shots, particularly ill-advised long range three-point attempts that looked questionable when he misses. When they go in, it felf more like luck than a calculated play if he had focused more on playmaking, as ye did in the first half, qnd invloved his teammates more, we might have had a better chance at winning the game.
They need a point guard.
Miami is seeing what Warriors fans have seen in Wiggins. He’s just not a crunch time player. He doesn’t like the spot light.
At this point, play and focus on the young core. Tyler himself said they are not considered ready to play for a ring. Might as well play and develop your young players (sucks Jovic got hurt) and give them experience. Focus on drafting this summer and also find ways to move expiring contracts like Rozier and Duncan.
Spo needs to go!
Tyler is good and Bam too but not even both of them as A opt and/or B opt. Wont be enough they dont make other players better they got rid of Jimmy cause is plain out right business for Pat and the full front office they just needed to get rid of him cause they'd didn't think he was worth a 2 year super max so that was that life keeps going so we have Wiggins and Mitchell another Nice Role player thats about it so who are we ? As a team ? We are loosing games even after the headache was over with that tells alot about who we got as players really so I really think Pat and front office is already thinking rebuilt and they might Tank but without saying anything not even the players cause they're not a tank team and their Heat Coulture will take a hit if they Tank on purpose and everyone sees it. So they will tank but silently tank. Spo wont push his full ideas and will let Tyler be Tyler and Bam as well and play Rookies all day and they will tank eventually slowly and silently. Best shot to get a Star from the Draft.😊
Said repeatedly, dire need of a true PG backup. Bring in CP3 to mold Devon Mitchell into a pick\ roll calibur player.
The Heat are not going to win 40 games this season, but things could be worse.
I agree that they are that Donovan Mitchell piece away from competing, but that’s where it gets tricky, because Tyler being so bad on defense limits who that player can be. Has to be a 2-way player.
So we can either pray we can trade for an Ant Man to play next to Herro, trade Herro for a better closer to play next to Davion, or we can do the easiest thing and try to draft that guy knowing that we probably aren’t going to have another serious playoff push until the year after next when some of our young players are more developed.
I like the 3rd option, being that trying to draft for him simultaneously nets you another trade piece to keep the first 2 options in play.
Why always use THE WORD Meltdown, Collapse, Disaster , OUTSCORED In 4Qtr? Its not Miami's fault. They are literally TRUE WEAK. , FAILURE, LACK OF SKILLS, THEY DONT HAVE MUCH STAR PLAYERS . BUCKS are loaded with Superstars. A VERY GOOD TEAM. EVEN BUCKS , way behind in points in 1st, 2nd, 3rd Qtr , as long as you have loaded with superstars, at Top 6 TEAMS either Conference, are CONSIDERED A STRONG TEAM. THEY can catch up very intelligently.
Morant disgruntled could be stigmatized, not given a supermax. Memphis is not a very good environment.
♥️🙏
Robinson.
This is his year
Here we go Spo did it again for the 14th time (5th in the last six games) we blow out a two digits lead at the end. If you have not realize there is a common situation in all of them Rozier and Robinson playing together, this time adding Anderson that for some reason have being on five teams on the last two years. The Heat has always win with defense not offense, you can't stop anybody playing those guys and having on your bench players like Burks, Larsson and Highsmith all good defenders. Herro 40. Bam 20, Wiggs 20 it is not about our players is about coaching my friends, very simple
Every team ratchets up their defense in the fourth quarter. The Heat offense is exposed when this happens, thus their poor fourth quarters.
David just said it once we get a lead we need defense to hold it
Spo not playing highsmith was the problem lastnight.
How about placing some coaching blame here? Spo sat Bam and Tyler, opting to play Terry while the team was hemorrhaging points and Giannis was on bench. Why not use Haywood to provide some defensive support while Bam is resting and in foul trouble? It seems like something mental is going on with Spo, and other coaches have figured him out this season. I am not a fun of how Jimmy let the team down towards the end but I am wondering if Jimmy calling him out was a symptom of what he was seeing from a subpar coaching standpoint.
We need to do better with $100 million than Tyler, Wiggins, Duncan, and Rozier.
I think we should keep Davion for sure, and I am fine with all of our small contracts, but we shouldn’t be afraid to use Slo Mo, JJJ, Pelle, and Highsmith in trades to consolidate and upgrade on those 4 bigger contracts.
Pat Riley just can't get a star
