David is adorable. Bam has been in the league 8 season and has never once had a “dominating” playoff game 😂😂😂
All these mental gymnastics. 10th seeded teams are simply not meant to be in the playoffs (specially in the East). After a turbulent season their reward will be another project player which will take years to develop (Jamie/Jovic)
How funny that Wes & David are like the answers are Wiggins & Bam… and Danny just casually says, “your team needs to shoot more 3s. Your players (aka Wiggins & Bam) take too many mid range shots” 😂😂😂😂 completely undercutting ever point Wes & David made
The audio from Danny is just next level❤ Ware should not be playing the minutes. Point fwd Slow Mo answer
This guy sounds like he's trying to get a job with the Miami Heat Franchise 😂 C'mon bro
Probably MIAMI HEAT big adjustment..❤❤❤❤
We only won that game in the regular season because Terry went off. Terry highest Career PPG is against the Cavs. Hes from that area. Why not lean on him just a little bit. And he’s no good just pull him and bench. I hate how Spo can’t make decisions on the fly.
And what happened to Kevin Love?? Can he not be there to support the team
Sam Merrill is a much better defender than he was last season. Do your homework, fellas.
I was a huge Spo critic his first year as head coach and was calling for his head but he proved me wrong and made me look stupid so I will no longer bash or blame spo despite disagreeing with his lineups choices especially in tbe 4th quarter. I was screaming when Ware was on the bench in that Atlanta game in the 4th and I think they prob don’t blow the lead with him out there protecting the rim and rebounding but they won the game. He is a great coach and has over achieved more than under achieved over the years. This year he did about as well as he could do with the Jimmy saga and then trying to gel a basically new squad. Not sure why he prefers to go small down the stretch even when they clearly look better when they are big with Bam and Ware on the floor. I would like to see Niko in this series and if a player not named Hero and Bam is cold he needs to take them out.
Heat were tired, flat-out spent coming into the first Cleveland game. Now staying in the same hotel 4 or 5 straight nights and an extra day of rest, the Heat will be better. Will that be enough to win tonight who knows? Not one heat teammate helped Ware succeed first game. Davion is to short to get passes to Ware, though he tries a ton more than Tyler. If that's how it is, leave Ware resting on bench
Ware is the player they need to get going, unless Spo has already given up on the talented ROOK. I now see why Jimmy hated Spo.
27:44 We all would like to know buddy.
You guys and Spo have already given up on Ware; His biggest enemies are on his own team, leave him on the bench. They passied the rock onto the paint to Ware exactly ZERO TIMES
If on paper mattered.😂😂😂 IT DOSENT MATTER
Ya ain't ready for this one but it is true; Wigs made more turnovers last game than Ware has in last 10 games (Kelel 3 in 10 games, Wiggs 4 last night). Against Cavs Herro 3 turnovers, Davion 4 which for the 2 primary ball handlers is not too bad, but Duncan made 2…. Let Ware play and give him the rock or… ………forget about anything but being swept. Really if ware is only a rebounder, defender and screen setter, leave him on the bench. Play Niko more
Imagine Riley passed on Spider because he thought 3 first round picks were too much. But it's a good idea to pay Duncan 20 mil a year for 5 years, and offer Caleb Martin 15 mil a year or give up a first round pick for Rozier who was under investigation for point shaving. Riley needs to go and take Spo with him.
You're right Spo is great. Who else could give Heat fans 10 years of .500, unwatchable/joyless small ball after running the best player in the past 20 years out of town (LBJ). We Heat fans are blessed. 🤣😆 Spo is good turning undrafted guys into role players, but is impotent when it comes to developing good players, coaching bigs, and coaching offense. Heat hating media want to keep the Heat down so they keep pressing the narrative that Spo is a great coach.
I don’t like how fast you guys gave up on the Heat culture. I still believe that there’s nothing scary about this Cavs team. We have the bodies to compete with them.
