Trying to match 3 point attempts with the Celtics is not a good idea.That is the Celtics bread and butter.
Bam is getting embarrassing at this point… & Spo is on my last nerve playing JJJ & Fontecchio more minutes than Ware
We need to trade Bam for a superstar, offer him for Giannis. We keep our young core, they have extreme high upside in potential. A near one for one star swap, and the team is finals bound
Why is Bam untouchable in trades. Bam is just an average dude. TRADE HIM
Ware and Kasper should be the only two Untouchables on this team.
Ware next to Gannis would be nice for the Heat.
Greg is not a Heat fan he's a Bam fan.
It's almost time for the coach to head to management office
Derrick white owns you
Could it be any more clear that we need to be sellers at the deadline, tank, and get into the top of the lottery??
1. We are really bad
2. We have the worst “best player(s)” in the NBA
3. Our brightest spots are our youngest players
4. We are about to be a very expensive bad team
5. There are at least 4 franchise-changing rookies in the upcoming class
6. All of those players are theoretically perfect fits next to Ware and Kas
7. We took a humiliating beating to keep our pick this year
8. We’ve actually raised the value of Tyler, Powell and Davion, and somehow Wiggins. Bam is still perceived as a big add for a contender.
We would get to sell high on all our starters, reset to a much cheaper, more talented timeline, get the star that’s been eluding us really since Wade, and put him next to this freak of nature Ware for years to come…you’re absolutely silly if you don’t agree.
This team isn't going to win much with gianis if you trade the whole future and then we have no future. You're just the new bucks
Please no to greg as gm
BAM is not a LEADER
Instead of everyone thinking a trade is the answer. Like greg salivating for a now broken dame. 2 years.ago. Let this be a development year and see what you have. Saying its bams window isn't enough. Bam isn't enough. This team was spare parts on different squads 1 year ago. Heat dreaming got these talking heads thinking we were a contender the first 10 games. Now greg thinks sending 7 years of collective first rounds picks to save the season is genius
davion / kas / gardner
norm / pelle / dru
giannis / pelle / simone
bam / jovic / keshad
ware / goldin / antek brother
Already knew we would loose 😂
Let’s trade bam for Gianni’s ware is the future not bam
Bam is trash please trade him not ware
Greg is a pathetic commentator, stop caring water for bam , bam is not a star just a good defender that’s it . Has no ceiling .
Greg seems out it it sometimes and his takes are usually wack
Multiple starters out and let's not forget around 25 mil is unusable. To be clear, that's like a Trey Murphy III type player. Heat doesn't have enough to overcome those setbacks…also, this team forgot how to shoot…again. Lots of bricked bunnies and ft's.
We are constantly saying Bam needs to play better. This is who he is if he’s our best player than we will always be an average team. He’d rather be a guard than a big man
60 million for this trash is an absolute joke 😭 bam is so ass
Brady, please make your own channel. I can’t listen to those bums anymore. PLEASE
Man I would like Ant Edwards for Herro Bam for Giannas 😅
Bam is overpaid for what he offers. Watching him struggle to score on smaller defenders 1 on 1 on the block was embarassing and very telling. He does not have "it." As much as people get on Ware for not looking engaged or having spirit, some of that attention needs to be directed towards Bam. I see him fumbling the ball in the post and then having a chat with the ref and not getting back on defense. Bam is a very good defender. He is not an offensive player who can get a bucket.
Honestly that is the issue with the Heat. It is a talent issue. Pace and space is an offensive strategy to cover up the fact that we don't have players that we can consistently given the ball to and say go get a bucket. We don't have many players that can take advantage of a mismatch. We don't create them or seek them out. Every other team in the league hunts mismatches and kills them until you double or take that guy out of the game. We do not do that because we can't do it. Our best isolation offensive players are Tyler Herro and Norman Powell. Neither are particulalry strong or athletic, and they don't get buckets at a level that they can go off and make an opposing team change their gameplan. Look at a guy like Cade Cunningham or Anthony Edwards or Jaylen Brown. We need that.
No real mention of Bam during this whole conversation tells you just how bad he was tonight. Getting blown by. Can't score. I love the guy but this team goes how he goes, and it doesn't look good. Just doesn't look like a captain right now.
I think Ke’shawn Johnson should get minutes over Fontecchio
Greg’s takes man smh 🤦🏻♂️
WTF was that Ware next to Bobby Portis crap. We need to keep Ware. Giannis is ten years older and more injury prone. Bam can go!!
U guys missed the elephant in the room, due to box score watching.
Besides having KJ & KW giving you 3 pt production, most likely very hard to reproduce, being that special. Though, The Heat lose that game because of something YOU didn't mention, NP 1 for 11 from 3, hopefully, like the 2 results mentioned above, this for Norman, will never happen again, mayb it was Boston that caused it, Though I'd say, Norman plays so hard that, this game 2 of a back 2 back was more to blame. Norman has a regular game, Heat would've had a good chance at winning
I’m done with the bam protection. Keep ware, trade bam.
spo being told by the miami brain dead thrust to showcase kasper and ware to further entice the bucks. problem is giannis is looking at bam thinking HE AIN'T NO ROBIN.
Fontecchio is killing us man. But spo will still blame ware somehow.
