hi guys! we're rollin
Great game for the team. Everybody was on and pretty engaged. Stormin Norman was the offensive spark that was missing. Bam is Bam and is essential for the team.
Ware will be a foundational piece for this team in the future. JJJ went crazy. Pelle is valuable for his intensity on both sides of the ball but he needs to work on that shooting.
No Herro No problem great defense good defenders let's go HEAT trade him for a first rounder 😮
I’ve been waiting for this episode fellas!
IF WE BEAT DETROIT THIS WEEK….WE ARE GOING THE FINALS! 🔐 that in!
are they not doing a credit cookie segment for the chicago win? do those cookies go in a black hole?
Wes, pelles going to the bench tomorrow when herro comes back
ROAD TO 18K SUBSCRIBERS.
Miami office /put together a trade package involving -hero an Jovic.
Tyler might be top 15th by the end of the year and have a good playoff run ECF at least
Is it delusional for me to think this team could come out of the East if Tyler can fit seamlessly.. probably but I believe it lol
Powell & Ware All-Star seasons 🔥🔥🔥🔥 JJJ 6th man of the year. Let’s Go Heat!
The K Johnson put back dunk was impressive. Had the Philly fans shook. Paul George is really a shell of himself
❤️
feels like sharing the floor with Jovic is the problem.
Ware was great without Bam on the court. Last 5 games averages for Kelel; 15.6pts, 14rbs, 1.6bks, while shooting 54.5% from the field and 44.4% from the three-point line. Also in those last 5 gms, Ware secured 24 offensive rebounds absolutely amazing. All star if he can continue scoring 18 or more points. I love starting Bam Ware Wiggs, Norm and Herro. great size an d all can score 30 on any given night. 11 and 6 is a great record considering Bam and Herro out so much. My credit cookies are 4 K Ware, 3 Norman, Bam 2 and JJJ 1.
Ware won 3 games in a row without Bam have can you forget that😂😂😂that fast
Bam and Ware definitely has to stay healthy they are our rebounding duo we lose one it’s a rap
Best way to follow up a Heat win is always listening to you guys and Tobin. Tobin is my Heat spirit animal lol
So excited to see Tyler's return tomorrow!
We need backup big a rim protector….
dude is showing some passion for a change! he used to just look sheepish in most other games. he needs to be riled up every game like how fighters punch themselves to hype themselves up before a match. i can see it now! stormin norman slapping ware repeated during the player introductions and ware looking like the ultimate ware-rior!
Ever since Ke'lel had that conversation with UD, he's been moving and acting different on the court…He's been moving with more swag and force…and showing more emotion🙌🔥
Bam dpoy bet is a good bet right now too. Wemby might not play enough games
Yal said ware was bad
Tyler can come off the bench for powell or davion
Baby Wilt 🔥🏀🔥🏀 Fantastic 4th Win 🔥😻💪🏾
Question what’s the heat best starting five ? Love the show gentlemen.
If you have Garland ranked 27th, then Herro can definitely be as good or even better than that. I’d argue Herro already had a better year than him last year
I don’t think people are realizing that the new offense was made for Herro
The most realistic trade is trade for Daniel Gafford
Get rid of jovic he is horrible
