Terry+Spo=Trash!
☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘LET'S GO CELTICS☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘☘Dribble handoff BAM finally decided to be a first option lol, great let's see how that last once Tyler Hero comes back
Terry 🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️ Bam always goes at Mobley who is good but he playing with 3 other All Star players he supposedly DPOY just how JJJ in Memphis was and Bam killed him to
The reason why Bam is the building block of this team is because he’s the player stars want to come here & play with not Herro. This game solidified him as the #1 option & the offense should run through him. Tyler needs to clean up the efficiency, drive to the cup more than jack up 3’s. His game in the paint is unreal. Can’t wait to see these guys all back together.
when Herro goes for 40-10 in a loss it’s “does his game translate to winning” “can he be consistent” when bam goes off in a loss it’s “Bam has taken another leap!!!”
Noticing
the tank is real. no organization with goals of competing this season would be playing Rozier. so…..the tank is real.
Brother in Christ, what leap? He will have this 30 or 40pt bomb in a random Wednesday then will stink in the following game after.
When we went on that last run why did we go into zone? Man was working amazingly
This brand of "basketball" Terry Rozier is "playing" needs to be studied. Anybody who condones this, they need their head examined.
I’ve been wanting to see this Bam for so long I’ve been critical of him bc I know he has the potential to be this great if he can keep this play fairly consistent that makes this team a different animal
I'm for sure looking forward to a Bam mindset shift, he will be one of the leagues most dominant players if he can tap into that mamba mentality.
How can terrible Terry be playing so many minutes? If they have six players able to play, he should be on the bench. He cannot play offense. He has no handle. He cannot play defense. He cannot pass. Why is he in the game? What is the matter with SPO?
I agree with David's rant 100%. Terry Rozier should never get back in a Miami heat game. He cannot be played. He is completely unplayable. He should go to Sioux Falls and remain there until he can be traded. If not, just cut him. Come on Spo! What are you doing?😮
We can’t see the reason for Spo sticking with Terry because we have an untrained eye. Or Spo likes his fighting spirit or his competitive disposition. Or some other Spo bs. Spo is a bs artist.
Bam had his best game of the season. The only thing that makes me feel like it’s not gonna happen again unless Tyler Herro is not in the lineup. Terry Rozier is definitely trying to either get traded or betting on games. Something is wrong with him.😒
I can't watch this team live anymore. Only highlights and this podcast until this nightmare season is over
Edit: petition to change Rozier nickname to the Terrorist
Great game. Excellent effort by a very depleted Heat team. Loved to see them get out there and compete against a very good Cavs team. Since the trade deadline, Bam has made a 180 to his game. THIS is the Bam we all want and expect to see. Looking forward to seeing this team get healthier to close this season out and make the post season as interesting as possible. Go Heat!
Bam adebayo was great but we lost the game. When will build the right roster to win the championship. Get rid of Pat, Riley move spo to general manager and coron butler new head coach.
we’ve seen this before with Bam. it won’t last.
I meant to say when will we build a championship roster. It won't be with pat Riley as general manager.
“The new Bam” lol. More like someone had to get the ball and stats forced through them bc (1) the team isn’t that talented and (2) 3 starters out. And, the team lost which is common with Bam’s big games
Bam was the best player on floor this was a W if not shorthanded
The role players are set….the defense is stout….we are a main scorer away from being legit again…somebody to take those shots in pivotal situations
Wild that this was Loves 1st game back in Cleveland.
Losing to Cavs in single digits was a win in my mind. With this lineup. That was tremendous.
Bam played GREAT tonight and worthy of the praise. But if he goes back to being passive, i do not want to hear any excuses for him.
Spo is tanking and keeping it interesting at the same time…Genius coaching 🔥🔥. It'd still Heat in 5
That divorce fried Spos brain, its the truth guys.
If you're going to blame Terry, you have to equally blame Spo for playing him
Agree, can’t understand how Rozier play so much, definitely hurt us last night
Thing about established players. Davion 9th pick never fully unleashed, needs confidence, gained experience.
Heat more than short handed, only 1 starter. Boy what a starter Bam proved to be a truly great game. He did all he could do under dire circumstances. Had we had a healthy Ware we would have won this game. Tyler over rated didn't miss him because the ball moved all night. Investigate Terry!!!!!
I'm not impressed with Spo coaching anymore!#at least four or five of the games we have lost could have been won"with good coaching!!!😱👀🏀😡👎🤦
Give Bam ALLLLLLLLLL of the credit cookies 🔥
He is called Scary Terry, I think Coach Spo scared of him.
Lol, he wasn't due for the first 30 minutes!
Hey Wes, do you have any moronic takes on “Heat fans, it’s ok that Pelle doesn’t play, he’s a second round pick” today?
Meanwhile we get to see Terry, who is likely the worst player in the league getting over fifteen minutes a game, lead the team in minutes?? Doubly ridiculous when we know this is a developmental season and Terry has no place in Miamis future unlike someone like Pelle. Idiot.
Bam was pretty awesome in this game, and has been awesome for a nice stretch now. He looked every bit the part of an All NBA player.
This is the Bam we need. I would have him drilling his handle more than anything this offseason. If that guy can get to his spots on his own comfortably, there’s no stopping him at his size.
I want to throw out there that this is a Cavs team that was in a come from behind victory in Chicago the day before playing rough games recently, sure at home but also traveling the night before with their 3rd game in 4 nights plus being on a back to back. The heat played well short handed but for almost any other situation this would be a schedule loss for the Cavs. The context around it doesn’t make me feel quite as great about this still loss.
Y'all need to stop.
Bam does not want the ball when it counts.
He takes plays off at the wrong time.
Bam era should have been began seasons ago.
Like while Jimmy was here.
Retire Pat.
Let's go Heat.
Rozier was -3, Robinson and Highsmith were -11. Does that matter?
Wes, we know how Spo is but you have to ask him to ask him about some of these decisions that he makes. At this point it’s out of hand😂
Cerebral Diarrhea had me rolling ngl 😂😂😂
BAM PLAYED LIKE A NUMBER 1 OPTION LAST NIGHT PERIOD! THE TRUTH!!💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bam leap same result
2nd most clueless local podcast next to 5Reasons
Bam is the Heat. Bam is the anchor. Until the Heat accept the fact this team is not going any where. Spo has that fantasy Herro can carry the Heat. Herro’s game is limited to scoring against weak teams. Wake up and give Bam KD and some NBA level players.
Spo costs us another one. Please don't make the playoffs. I can't stand another sweep by the Celtics
Heroic? Wtf. It was his job. Tyler does it, means nothing. And Tyler's done it over 10 games. Multiple 40 poiht games. These guys simp for bam. It's ridiculous. Mention the turnovers
OWN THAT TERRORIST, ROZIER. SPO'S OBSESSION WITH HIM IS MIND NUMBING…
