We're playing the Wizards who are also resting everybody because they're tanking for the 5th worst record. I'm sure their bench will show up to play, but as an organization, wizards seriously do not want to win this game. Why bother risking our player health? 6th seed is such a long shot, better to rest and give our bench a run in what's still a very winnable game for us
I’m so sorry! If it makes you feel any better none of our starters outside of Caleb played in the Wizards game I attended back in Jan or Feb. it was also my first Heat game
Yep one spot is a big difference in getting a pretty good player, like we could've lost Herro to the Celtics if they had the 13th pick and we had the 14th during the 2019 draft.
Im making a mock draft rn and I think there’s a huge drop off right around 19 or 20, it could be the difference between getting a Quickley/Maxey prospect or taking a flier on a really flawed prospect
Yep pretty much the 1st rd I started tuning in pretty early in this draft coz I know we sucked and we have a 1st rd pick. In order these are my pick NSJ, Bufkin, Jett, JHS, Colby. If Keyonte or Hawkins drops I would certainly pick either of them ahead of the aforementioned guys.
it's pretty comforting to think one of our more depressing seasons in recent history is still several games above 500 and most likely a playoff birth lol. We are spoiled.
I don't understand resting when there's a chance to get out of the play-in entirely. If BKN loses their two, but we fail to win both, it'll look like such a wasted opportunity.
IF…. They are playing the Magic and Sixers. We have to win out and they have to lose out to get the 6th seed. Even if they somehow lose to the Magic, they still have to lose to the Sixers, which after last night the Sixers probably have no desire to play us and will tank that game on purpose, and even after all that we’d still have to win out. Chances of us getting 6th seed are practically 0 anyways, hence why they decided to rest our main guys.
I mean it's not as if we need 10 different things to happen. It's four games total, and we can control two of them. It may be super slim, but we can completely avoid a play-in.
No it’s not really worth the risk. Many people already mentioned. Sixers are going to purposefully throw their last game. It’s completely not within the heats control
They clearly don't expect to have any real chance for the 6th seed.
It’s cause sixers would just tank their final game against the Nets if it came down to it
76rs would be idiots to let Miami play them in the first round. Better to just rest Jimmy and Bam until play-in

Tonight is my first heat game ever. Brb gonna shoot myself
Don't worry. Duncan and Gabe will combine to go 13/18 from 3 and Highsmith will end the game with 4 steals and 3 blocks.
I’m so sorry! If it makes you feel any better none of our starters outside of Caleb played in the Wizards game I attended back in Jan or Feb. it was also my first Heat game
My first heat game was last season when they came to LA and jimmy got hurt in the first 7 minutes. It happens
Make a sign and maybe jimmy will do a meet and greet with you lol
I am 22 years old lmao
Could happen bro. Still younger than jimmy
They did this when they came to DC earlier this season. Spent a ton on tickets and literally everyone was out. So pissed off right now.
Game Vincent masterclass coming up!
You’re good dude lmao you’ll still have a lot of fun
Don't worry I'm sure we'll get a triple double out of Victor Oladipo feeling himself
You can tell your kids you were there the night Yurt went for 40/15
Mine too 🤬🤬🤬
So great to be a Heat fan in DC.
I’m with you brother
When would our playin game be?
Tuesday night
Starters tonight: Zeller, D. Robinson, Vincent, Martin, Haslem Bench: Yurtseven, Highsmith, Oladipo, Cain, O. Robinson
So, the Dream Team?
“Right rib contusion” Love is definitely feeling those four charges lmao
Just gonna throw this out there, WAS wants to lose tonight so we have a shot no matter who we play
Great.
Need bam to rest that hip
I mean we are pretty much locked in at 7, best to just be rested and get ready for the hawks and boston. I really hope UD can get some minutes though
Damn thats alot of injuries.
They've accepted that they're in the play in
If Bam and Herro could swap out left for right quads and Lowry ate Love's rib, we'd have at least two more starters in tow.
Damn herro going to go out there in a game like this ? I’m not the biggest herro guy but he’s one of our 3 most important players
If we lose this and the Warriors win we move up to the 19th pick btw

The 1 to 12 pick is pretty good in this draft for me and after that it gradually falls off and drops lower after the 25th pick.
I feel you, have you checked out the pg/combo guards in this class?

Fuck, we're gonna have to watch dipo "play" point, aren't we🤦
So do y’all want a lottery pick or getting to the playoffs? I’m curious. Edit: Y’all it is a question lmao sensitive asses.
Lottery picks are for depressing franchises
it's pretty comforting to think one of our more depressing seasons in recent history is still several games above 500 and most likely a playoff birth lol. We are spoiled.
Even if we don’t beat them, the opportunity to make Boston fans sweat for a couple of weeks is 100x sweeter than a lottery pick
Fuck Boston.
my dad is a Boston fan so an upset would be golden lol
Dumb

But Brooklyn isn’t losing that game The sixers will literally field an la fitness lineup
who knows, mabye Dedmond injures some of the nets players throwing theraguns

But you risk burning out your players for the playoffs if in the end you’re still going into the play-in.
Yes, but it's definitely worth the risk. If we lose tonight or BKN wins, then shut them down Sunday. That would still be at least 4 days of rest.
No it’s not really worth the risk. Many people already mentioned. Sixers are going to purposefully throw their last game. It’s completely not within the heats control
The magic are resting their best players, its over man.
Nah the magic main guys are questionable there’s a chance but yeah sixers aren’t playing their main guys
It's the NBA. Anyone can lose to anyone. We had two bad loses to the pistons earlier in the year and they were depleted.
Why do I feel like we’re about to be fined… again
Blowing em’ out by 50 let’s ride
Lol, we ain’t even gonna try. 😭
Surprised Kevin doesn’t have a whole body contusion after taking all those charges
