Thought this was an interesting stat that popped up on doing some research after our most recent loss. In our games we dropped, two of our three stars tend to massively underperform. Meanwhile, Herro tends to ascend and rises in nearly every statistical category.

I know this goes against the dooming in this sub, but genuinely like the group of guys we have this year. I just enjoy watching these guys play ball.

Somebody help Tyler!

1. PLEASE PLEASE STOP playing rotations with Bam, Jaime, and Terry at the same time. My eyes hurt.
2. When Bam is open in the lane or guarded by Trey, he decides to pass it out. When Bam is guarded in crunch time, he decides to take contested shot. You know it is bad when Hawks commentators are even questioning his decision making.
3. Bam 17 points on 17 shots...
4. Burks please don't take it to the rim, you are a shooter.
5. Niko, I don't care that you play like a guard, you are 6' 10", get the rebound. AND PLAY DEFENSE.
6. Terry & Jaime, you can't brick open shots guys. They are leaving you open, you have to make them pay.
7. .... there is more, but I'll stop here.

Sorry this isn’t heat related but didn’t know where else to ask this, heading to the Kaseya center for the first time tomorrow for a WWE event, wanted to know where around the stadium do the athletes arrive and if it’s possible to see them arriving so at the stadium?

Terry, Jaime, Jovic, freaking Bam as well. If so many guys are gonna suck at the same time you can't expect much success. Get Herro some help.

Miami Heat (15-13) @ Atlanta Hawks (16-15)

Share some of your hope and optimism with me, and help me understand why you still have faith in this roster

“Oh Blocked by Jaquez!!!”

I would say Tyler has earned it. Even though I am not a Heat fan respectfully, I can appreciate talent when I see it and Herro this season has been healthy. He has been ballin. He is putting up All Star numbers right now in Miami. More than earned it in my book.

You might think this is mid but it’s actually solid, and consistent. I’d argue that the narrative that the Heat have failed Jimmy is a fake one. Not saying the Heat haven’t made mistakes but they have been better for Jimmy than most other franchises have been for their superstars. I feel like there’s only like 10 guys who have been consistently at the “best player on a championship team” level during the butler era

Jokic - their title team woulda won 30 games without him, this year they would be a bottom five team

Giannis - the jrue Middleton and Lopez teams would be above 500 if Middleton healthy, this year they’d be a bottom 8 team without Giannis

Durant - phoenix is like 1-10 without him

Steph - don’t think any gsw team would be above .500 without him this decade

Embiid - lol

Luka - Mavs have been great this year without him but other years they were really bad. Mavs took some risks and made some moves Heat shoulda made (Kyrie and PJ) but they also gave away Brunson so I wouldn’t say their FO is much better. Either way Heat have won more in the playoffs.

Tatum - it’s insane that Celtics got Jrue and porzingis for basically nothing. I mean, wtf.

Heat have made a couple mistakes but overall they have done well by Jimmy. Id argue that only a couple teams made trades that the Heat should have. I think most all-in moves are bad ideas, like the Durant and Dame trades, both of which are gonna lead to lots of pain for the suns and bucks while not producing any extra playoff wins in the short term. I give the Heat more credit than most for not making mistakes (rozier notwithstanding). They’ve been excellent at drafting and developing, and Spo has been amazing for Jimmy. Jimmy has the second most playoff wins this decade on this list.. he’s not the second best player. So yeah the narrative that “pat failed jimmy” is mostly bullshit.
