Kolek planning to go pro
5-21 is a good performance according to the basketball geniuses here. I’ll take being basketball stupid then.
Jimmy shot it poorly. But as usual was great down the stretch. In spite of two missed wide open 3s by their best shooter and little help from Bam Jimmy had the game won for the Heat - until Strus and an unlucky bounce. Sh!t happens.
Coach Spo’s team was 4 minutes away from missing the Playoffs entirely while playing Herro all year. His team is now one win away from the NBA Finals with Herro playing the first half of the first game.Way to put yourself on Eric Spoelstra’s level though. LOL indeed.
He’s not playing due to an injury. If he was healthy, Spo would play him (as he did all year). You wouldn’t. Which one of you is basketball stupid.The fact that you couldn’t connect the dots means we can drop the word “basketball”.
“If you ignore the first 44 minutes of a 48 minute game, Jimmy was awesome! You’re a basketball idiot if you disagree!”Guy shot 5/21 in a closeout game at home. He was horrendous.But yes, it’s on guys like Max Strus to carry the Heat to a title, not their best player.
I think production in the 4Q should be amplified but you can't discount what actually happened during the course of the game. This would have been a blowout if Caleb Martin didn't keep Miami in the game for the first 15 mins. Duncan Robinson missed two wide open threes in the closing minutes, no doubt about that. But he made several big shots before the closing 2 mins. Jimmy starting 3-19 and Bam not doing much either was too much to overcome.
Correct. And Spo would’ve been in Cancun a month ago had Herro not been injured.
Anyone who can’t see how much better the Heat are without Herro is probably the person who’s basketball stupid.
Remember when Tatum missed everything for three quarters vs Philly but won it for the Celtics down the stretch? That’s what Jimmy did tonight. He didn’t need Max Strus to “carry the team”, he needed him to do his (ranger simple) job. Your personal vendetta against Butler has led to a lot of ridiculous takes here. The guy has been spectacular in the playoffs. You’ve been somewhat less than that.
I'm not sure that Herro is worth the contract he starts next season, but I think it's silly to think they're better off without a 20 ppg guy and their best three point shooter.
You are aware the Heat made it to the exact same point of the playoffs one year ago with him, right?!?! He played in 15 of their postseason games last year during that run to ECF game 7 and held a 2-1 series lead before his injury essentially ended his play except for a brief game 7 appearance. Your take that it’s so obvious they’re much better without him is flat out asinine.
See above. Him and Poole are one and the same. Ball stopping, inefficient scorers who couldn’t defend a 7th grade CYO guard. But hey, they score 20 ppg, they’re awesome!
Coach Spo learning what Sam and Joey knew, you don’t want to play basketball with Tyler Herro
I know no one is giving Miami a chance now but this series has been so wild anything can happen.
Yes, never say never and all that, but that was just a devastating way to lose and when that happens, teams just don’t recover. Miami is even more up against it in a road game 7.
He's a hellofa playa and dat's watt hellofa playas go fore deez daze, aina?
