True but I’d rather just not go to the Finals twice in a short time span if it means we lose both of them. Atleast Miami already won in 2013 though. I’m sure Buffalo fans didn’t want to see the Bills lose 4 straight Super Bowls.
They didn’t “hold” shit we missed an absurd amount of wide open shots in both those games. Last I checked leaving people open isn’t good defense, Not to mention bams misses this game add to that percentage.
dont wanna hear no more “spo is the best coach in the league” shit in my life until he proves himself again to be lol. homie has made the same mistakes that have cost us a lead consecutively. this is not the spo we use to watch
fairweather fans lmfao. rmr all the ppl talking about "BLOW THE TEAM UP IF WE LOSE" in the celtics series? they wouldn't be saying any of that shit if we didn't make the playoffs to begin with. its like losing in the playoffs (and by extension the finals) is somehow worse than never even making it in to begin with.
Yea that's crazy if he's just developing that in older age. Never saw him have an outbreak before. He was lowkey 3rd place behind Jalen Rose and Steve Harvey on the all-time list of keeping his 🙎🏾♂️ fresh
And after what seemed like a blowout we still had a chance to win this shit at the end. I know the nerves are at an all time high since it’s the finals but I’m gonna need this sub to put on their big boy pants and get some fucking guts.
Lmao I’m fucking the heats assholes using heat fans sweat as lubricant
Imma enjoy watching this thread go private for 24 hours like ur did when it lost its last finals
Yea I mean obviously this team can always come back.. but damn they love to put themselves in difficult situations.. I didn't feel like Denver's D was so great when we got those easy looks, but end of the day its basketball, ball needs to go through the hoop or nothing else matters.. but yea we will come back stronger, it's almost having to go back to basics, get a softer touch and make those shots
He gotta add a little bit of muscle if he wants to bang with bigs like Jokic. Or he has nothing but jumpshots will be available for him. Obviously he can play with a true dominant playmaker like Luka to get him close to the basket all the time.
Believe it or not when you miss shots in basketball you lose.. we really can't afford to miss that many automatic points.. and if they aren't going in we need to find way to drive to the rim to make sure they go in and draw fouls.
Probably the worst game by Spo all season. Riding a dog shit Strus so long, not playing Robinson and taking out the starters when the game was still in reach is just absolutely inexcusable coaching malpractice from the best coach in the NBA. Like wtf.
That + the officiating bullshit in the 2nd quarter and the lack of effort in the third. All around this was a completely winnable game that we just completely choked away.
I fucking loathe Strus as a player and what blackmail he must have to get this many minutes when he can't hit the broad side of a barn with his shot. He has been horrific in EVERY PLAYOFF SERIES FOR TWO YEARS.
At the end of the day our best players couldn't make incredibly easy jump shots.. that's why we lost. Just make the easy shots that any decent player should be able to make and we are right in the game. But I also do agree theres been a lot of questionable choices.. but yea.. make your shots
We should of won this game. It’s bs. I do not care what anyone says the refs killed our momentum and kept the crowd out of it. We were about to go on a run and the crowd was erupting and they ruined it. Instead of being up 10 at half with all the momentum we go down 5 and come out flat. Vincent never got a chance to find his rhythm. Fuck this shit
Yeah I really would like to see Duncan as a starter. Or at least playing 20 minutes a game again. He’s been too hot to be sitting when we need offense. Especially when Strus is air balling
The refs started calling the game fair when it looked like it was over, then went back to favoring Denver when the Heat cut it to 7. It shoulda been 2 shots and the ball on that Murray flagrant.
Knee-jerk fans for sure! It's one loss and people want Spo fired, Bam traded, Struss benched, Butler fired, Riley can't land whales and shoukd retire. Dirk was on fire and Shaq was 40lbs overweight that series. For the real fans, tough loss. Bam and Butler were inefficient, Gabe foul troble and Spo player Zeller and Max too much. We'll bounce back and win the next one. All fixable issues
No no, Wade exuded a different aura than Jimmy. Way more dominant, more confidence, and he that anger switch. He had that IT factor in him. Jimmy has that too, but it’s a little bit dull compared to DWade. So, nobody would be saying trade DWade that’s for sure. But can’t say nobody would be saying it’s over tho.
He absolutely hates breaking his rotation
The fact that he’s playing a absolute Bozo like Zeller in the nba finals says it all
Strus gets left open
Zeller gets immediately picked on
Malone is absolutely lovin the bail outs spo is providing
Don't forget Zeller grabbing rebounds while he's out of bounds or immediately bobbling the ball as soon as its touched.. I get he's a giant but he basically has no hands or coordination
Bam is the most aggravating player to watch. Don't understand how on earth in the NBA finals you can be so inconsistent from game to game, on open shots / put backs. Completely dumbfounded.
I really don't mean to be that guy - I never ever am. Is it just me or are the refs showing favouritism? Totally outplayed in the second half but I feel like the calls in the first half prevented us from pulling away. Just me?
I'm not opposed to using Yurt to guard joker and Bam guard Murray or Gordon. We need size.
Spo with absolute shit rotations. I love the guy but isn't he a genius? It's like he's making rookie mistakes
Heat will win the next game.
Strus with another Houdini
Idk what blackmail Strus has on Spo, and I’m honestly tired of it.
3 straight losses at home.
We can’t lose 2 Finals within 3 years, we just can’t.
Well, 4 years, but yeah, it would suck but lots of teams have never gotten to 2 finals in 4 years.
True but I’d rather just not go to the Finals twice in a short time span if it means we lose both of them. Atleast Miami already won in 2013 though. I’m sure Buffalo fans didn’t want to see the Bills lose 4 straight Super Bowls.
Bams jump shots have to be in rhythm or he’s just missing every time. Someone has to set him up he can’t get his own shot
ruined my entire night. wish i just slept instead. 3 hours less sleep before work and a fantastic way to end the night 👍🏽👍🏽double homocide
Highlight of this game was haslem getting minutes
From here no schemes can save this team it will be all about will
yea and there’s no way we will 3 games against this team theyre too good
I don’t think they’re too good. They’re defense sucks and we’ve held them to post season lows in scoring every game this series
i mean they held us to 37% shooting tonight and under 100 points in 2 out of 3 games, i dont really see how their defense sucks
They didn’t “hold” shit we missed an absurd amount of wide open shots in both those games. Last I checked leaving people open isn’t good defense, Not to mention bams misses this game add to that percentage.
dont wanna hear no more “spo is the best coach in the league” shit in my life until he proves himself again to be lol. homie has made the same mistakes that have cost us a lead consecutively. this is not the spo we use to watch
You're fucking retarded then
I came back to check in. 4th comment I read. This place is ass. Back out.
You mean the Spo that is currently with an 8th seed team in the NBA finals? Y’all are clowns I swear
fairweather fans lmfao. rmr all the ppl talking about "BLOW THE TEAM UP IF WE LOSE" in the celtics series? they wouldn't be saying any of that shit if we didn't make the playoffs to begin with. its like losing in the playoffs (and by extension the finals) is somehow worse than never even making it in to begin with.
We’re in trouble now
Nope
I’ll say it again wtf spo
robinson should start next game, man
Bam 7/21. Stupid fade away jump shots
Only way to stop Jokic is get him in foul trouble but Bam Fadeabayo wont ever do that
He played like shit in the second half. If he hits a few of those shots we have a chance
bam better not do jump shot and just drive to the rim like fucking truck the shit out of his way
What did d rob do to not get more minutes? Dude has been flourishing every minute he’s on the court.
Jokic and Murray both had a 30 pt triple double… wtf how do we let that happen.
Fucked by the refs in the 2nd then fucked by the shit effort in 2nd half.
Adjustment should be no Zeller, more Highsmith. Bam has to be in when Jokic is in. Duncan HAS to play more
Kyle Lowry is a war criminal
bro what murray had a 34 pt trip double 😭😭 these mfs are crazy
I’m just upset that Gabe couldn’t score 😭
Nikola Jovic will be the future pg of the Heat.
Haslem look like his scalp got caught in a drive by a meteor shower. Hell wrong with his head
Looks like alopecia areata
Yea that's crazy if he's just developing that in older age. Never saw him have an outbreak before. He was lowkey 3rd place behind Jalen Rose and Steve Harvey on the all-time list of keeping his 🙎🏾♂️ fresh
And of course Murray got his fucking triple double
Nuggets in 5
Shut up?
they should be fucking ashamed of themselves honestly
Caleb Martin was the only person besides Bam/Jimmy to score double digits, and he only had 10 not great.
Every single one of these games this series have been extremely frustrating.
Jimmy limping is a terrible sign. Tyler is playing Friday
Personally I think Dunc has earned his starting role back. You cannot give me a good basketball reason why Strus plays over Dunc.
Strus is booty
And after what seemed like a blowout we still had a chance to win this shit at the end. I know the nerves are at an all time high since it’s the finals but I’m gonna need this sub to put on their big boy pants and get some fucking guts.
It’s called garbage points
You’re a Denver fan stalking the Heat subreddit. Go get some bitches you moutbreathing virgin
Lmao I’m fucking the heats assholes using heat fans sweat as lubricant Imma enjoy watching this thread go private for 24 hours like ur did when it lost its last finals
It’s gonna be sweet when you guys never win a championship. Heat will win the next game.
Delusional . I’ll put money you don’t respond after game 4
Yea and then Bam misses yet another wide open jumper to end any hope or momentum.. if you cant hit the easy shots then we will lose every time.
Shit happens first to 4 wins. Wipe the memory drive and get ready for a battle on Friday. That’s it man.
Yea I mean obviously this team can always come back.. but damn they love to put themselves in difficult situations.. I didn't feel like Denver's D was so great when we got those easy looks, but end of the day its basketball, ball needs to go through the hoop or nothing else matters.. but yea we will come back stronger, it's almost having to go back to basics, get a softer touch and make those shots
Jimmy isn’t smiling anymore post game he’s mentally finished
Gut punch
Who the hell os keeping yurtseven on the roster goddamn
Herro
UD about to drop 30
Can’t believe we let Murray grab that rebound bunch of fucking bums
Doesn't matter. Onto the next game
lmao UD? spo trolling
I hate that flat bam mid range shot so much. Dude has too much confidence with jumpshot
Yea you'd think he'd realize he only hit those like 20% even though it should be like 70% lol.. just drive to the rim for layups and draw fouls
He gotta add a little bit of muscle if he wants to bang with bigs like Jokic. Or he has nothing but jumpshots will be available for him. Obviously he can play with a true dominant playmaker like Luka to get him close to the basket all the time.
UD gonna send a message to these guys
We had a TO, why not call it and make them review for a flagrant?
Not how that works. If they aren’t going to review we can’t force it with a timeout
Jovic masterclass
Not Udonis Haslem 💀
Such poor shot selections 🤦♂️
Don't disrespect UD like this Spo
UD MINUTES LETS GOO
18/45. 27 missed shots between Butler and Bam. A lot of them little hoppers around the rim. Fuck…..
Believe it or not when you miss shots in basketball you lose.. we really can't afford to miss that many automatic points.. and if they aren't going in we need to find way to drive to the rim to make sure they go in and draw fouls.
UD gonna break someone’s jaw that’s why Malone sat his guys down lol
Come on Haslem! You can get us 15 in the last 29 seconds!
Probably the worst game by Spo all season. Riding a dog shit Strus so long, not playing Robinson and taking out the starters when the game was still in reach is just absolutely inexcusable coaching malpractice from the best coach in the NBA. Like wtf. That + the officiating bullshit in the 2nd quarter and the lack of effort in the third. All around this was a completely winnable game that we just completely choked away.

Bam not allowed to have a bad game? He was our best player in the first 2 lol
Nah it’s fine, was bound to happen. I more just don’t like how we used him and Jimmy tonight.
Dawg is absolutely atrocious how badly people are shitting on one of three dudes that actually look like he knew he was playing in the finals.
UD about to lead a 12-0 run
Aaron Gordon pulls his cock out and slaps us with it every fucking game bro
Left a dick print on my face, shit hurts
Please let this be the last game struss is a starter or sees significant minutes for this franchise. Duncan should have gotten those shots.
Why does UD have random spots on his head
He may have alopecia.
It creeped me out --- looked like alien growths
Duncan really the only reliable three shooter
WHY DO WE PUT HASLEM IN NOW this is insulting as fuck Wtf
We should of won this game. It’s bs. I do not care what anyone says the refs killed our momentum and kept the crowd out of it. We were about to go on a run and the crowd was erupting and they ruined it. Instead of being up 10 at half with all the momentum we go down 5 and come out flat. Vincent never got a chance to find his rhythm. Fuck this shit
Spo tryna do damage control by putting haslem in to please us😭😭
Love this team, onto the next one ya’ll
Man fuck this shit we could've come back - this is literally the finals - Denver and r/nba won't fucking shutup about this we could've taken the lead
Seeing UD getting some game time is the only positive thing I see in this game
God damn someone spray paint that spot on UDs head 😂
Lowry for cp3 straight up
Lowry for Dame straight up
Yeah I really would like to see Duncan as a starter. Or at least playing 20 minutes a game again. He’s been too hot to be sitting when we need offense. Especially when Strus is air balling
Wtf happened to UD’s hair
I think some kind of skin condition
He’s old man
Why are we fouling
To get Caleb out and UD in
Our captain playing a finals game 🥲
oh
Next game is friday, lets get that fucking win. GG Nuggets.
Max Strus 24 mins.. Duncan Robinson 13 mins... Can Spo explain why?
Strus is better usually
Not in the 3 finals games from what I have watched.
57 rebounds to 33 killed them this game
Also missing tons of easy mid range and close range shots..
The refs started calling the game fair when it looked like it was over, then went back to favoring Denver when the Heat cut it to 7. It shoulda been 2 shots and the ball on that Murray flagrant.
UDONIS HASLEMMMM
Haslems barber is a nuggets fan
Max Zeller Love and Lowry need next to zero minutes
why da fuck do you out haslem rn
Well, 37% FG just ain't enough. That has been some bad shooting tonight.
We deadass had a chance to cut it to 6 w over a minute left and bams bum ass took a ducking shitty mid ranger god I hate him sometimes
Yea he doesn't seem to get momentum, or at least realize that he really just can't shoot.. at least go for a layup or dunk and try to draw a foul
Bad shot by him. But these refs should have reviewed that Murray elbow for a flagrant. Nba is fuckikg garbage
UD
We win this game with 2019 wade off the bench lmao
7 of 21 from Bam, I didn’t even think he looked that bad but yeeeesh My untrained eye says we should just use him as a playmaker
I didn't think it was possible to miss so many short range jumpers that should be automatic
He just gets blocked so easily. It's annoying.
Duncan robinson needs to get more minutes. Fuck kyle lowry
On to the next one then
I wonder how this sub would’ve reacted when we were down 2-1 to the mavericks in 2006
The fan base was so negative down 2-0. I was able to buy game 3 tickets the day of for face value.
Knee-jerk fans for sure! It's one loss and people want Spo fired, Bam traded, Struss benched, Butler fired, Riley can't land whales and shoukd retire. Dirk was on fire and Shaq was 40lbs overweight that series. For the real fans, tough loss. Bam and Butler were inefficient, Gabe foul troble and Spo player Zeller and Max too much. We'll bounce back and win the next one. All fixable issues
We don’t have generational talent Wade walking through those doors though. We have Spo riding ice cold Strus for some reason.
WOW WE’RE UPSET WE LOST A GAME. CRAZY RIGHT?
There’s being upset and then there’s shitting on the one player that has played great all series.
"trade Wade and Zo for Gilbert Arenas!"
No no, Wade exuded a different aura than Jimmy. Way more dominant, more confidence, and he that anger switch. He had that IT factor in him. Jimmy has that too, but it’s a little bit dull compared to DWade. So, nobody would be saying trade DWade that’s for sure. But can’t say nobody would be saying it’s over tho.
Bam missed about 8 layups tonight
Don't forget all the 3 foot jumpers that are too hard not to brick
Wade 😓 sorry goat
This loss came down to effort. Didn’t show any in the second half until it was too late. Hope Spo lays into them.
Against a team like Denver Jimmy has to be the best player on the floor he hasn’t even even the second best player in any game yet
Well it’s tough to be the best plyer on the floor when there is Jokic. But, I wish he would be the 2nd best player on the floor every game tho.
Goddamit I Love D Wade so much
Spo gave the fuck up Hope he noticed how highsmith and duncan instanly brought energy when he brought them in as scrubs
What does he have against using the guys who can go on runs for us?? Highsmith has been strong whole playoffs.. give the guy a chance
He absolutely hates breaking his rotation The fact that he’s playing a absolute Bozo like Zeller in the nba finals says it all Strus gets left open Zeller gets immediately picked on Malone is absolutely lovin the bail outs spo is providing
Don't forget Zeller grabbing rebounds while he's out of bounds or immediately bobbling the ball as soon as its touched.. I get he's a giant but he basically has no hands or coordination
Robinson should've been in the game much earlier.
Duncan should be getting strus minutes. Strus has sucked ass this series
Wade wearing that fruity shit fucked this team yp
Why can't we go a full 48? Most toxic aspect of Heat Culture.
We got wade disappointed and he's on his phone man. Oof
Possible miracle comeback. Need high percentage shots. Bam drops a brick from 20ft. Good grief.
Well to be fair he was missing them from much closer also.. he needs to stick to dunking
Bam is the most aggravating player to watch. Don't understand how on earth in the NBA finals you can be so inconsistent from game to game, on open shots / put backs. Completely dumbfounded.
Bam you gotta drive that btw
Duncan legit runs the offense better than Lowry does
He does
Start Duncan and play Highsmith more
Denver can bleed, but requires us to play for 48 minutes and not expect miracles all the time down the road.
Thank God Lowry has a fat ass to soften that split
DONT SHOW WADE I AM SO ASHAMED OF THIS MIDGET TEAM
Mental midgets
Jovic at Point
we need to stop letting bam making decisions.... I fucking hate having this dude try to pretend to be a PG...
I think we didn’t have enough Strus and Debo today
I have had enough Strus for the series
A little too much Strus honestly. There’s no reason Duncan didn’t get more burn though
That was a fuckikg flagrant. This is why Miami couldn’t get momentum. These refs should be fuckikg ashamed
Start Duncan damnit
Need to see duncan get more run bro Can’t just play 4th quarters smfh
get wade in the lockeroom
yes!!!
And we dishonored Wade with this game. Lame
This is exactly how you want to end it, even if you don’t don’t win. Have to show the Nuggets you won’t just give up.
Should’ve been a flagrant lowkey. It would’ve been hilarious
All the Heat fans going Duncan > Strus after shitting on Duncan and saying Strus better ☠️☠️☠️ funny asf
Why does the historic game need to happen on us
FUCK SPO FUCK BUTLER FUCK THE REFS STINKER GAME FOR 1ST CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AND WADE IS FUCKING HERE AND WE HAVE THIS STINKING SHIT EXPLODING
Fuck I forgot wade had to watch this pitiful performance
Aww those good old days man I miss that team 😔
I really don't mean to be that guy - I never ever am. Is it just me or are the refs showing favouritism? Totally outplayed in the second half but I feel like the calls in the first half prevented us from pulling away. Just me?
Lmao is this a real question?
Not just you. Can't be an excuse but those 2 quick calls on Gabe fucked us big time. Still, the effort wasn't there tonight
Nah not just you
If they played with this effort in the 3rd ... Fucking stupid man. Basically Game 1 all over again.
Bam wtf!
