Oh, I know.

But, so are your sub .500 no shows.

Yet, you never mention them.

I only mentioned Oladipo being one of miami biggest offseason mistakes multiple times already this season including again on Monday following the game against wolves

Also Lowry been ass this season???? WHERE

Didn't have a great first 5 games but after that? He been good.

Robinson on the other hand i agree with

15, 5 and 5 for a guy making 28 mil?

Shooting below 40 % from the field on a team in 12th place that was supposed to be a contender?

Yes.

He's ass.

You should mention it everyday like you do Kawhi.

Keep the same energy.

Lowry is kevin durant now? He was never brought to Miami to be a scorer which is why Heat fans had no issue with his regular season last year either. There is more to basketball than scoring.

Thinking Lowry is the reason why Miami been struggling this year is so incorrect. Poor bench and nonstop injuries is the actual reason. In some of his best seasons with Toronto the guy was a very low 40s shooter. You are clearly expecting lowry to be something he isn't and really never was. When Miami is healthy, he is the 4th option. A 4th option isn't going to provide you more than 14 or 15 ppg and in reality with the development of Strus, you can make a great case that he is the 5th option

I dont have to. I will continously make fun of Kawhi, Oladipo, Warren, and Issac until one of them prove to me they love the game. All 4 are soft and 3 of the 4 been stealing money.

I am not going to stop posting tweets either. If you have a problem with it then go the nba ppl i tweet account and ask that they stop tweeting about kawhi and tweet more about Oladipo and others

No.

I don't think he's the reason you are struggling.

I think injuries, role player regression and lack of a starter level 4 is why you are struggling.

But, I am saying Lowry is having a Chris Paul like decline so far this year.

Ofcouse you dont have to stop, I didnt ask you to.

You can do what ever you want.

But, I can also respond by posting the fact that Udonis Haslem has played more games than the guy you set 20 million dollars on fire to sign.

As bad as Kawhi's attendance, contract and play is..

Hasn't crippled us as we are still above .500.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Another one from.Legion?

Lol

I think it was just a stats tweet. They delete so many

 

[bksballer89]

Theres only 63 games left.

They are 3 games back of 4th. They will be fine once they get/stay healthy.

 

[bksballer89]

The Celtics were 3 games under 39 games in last season.

I have them top 5.

The Knicks, Indy and Wiz are going to come back to Earth.

Probably Atlanta too.

But, you need a real power forward.

.....and to get some contributing talent using Robinson's deal.

Dunno if you can get both.

Oldipo has a players option, yes?

Wtf....he's definitely picking that up.

So, don't see anyone eating that without attaching a asset.

 

[Mecca]

You don't have the same talent.

You are underachieving.

But, not to the same extent as they were.

Plus, the Raptors and 76ers are going to ascend as soon as they are healthy too.

Celtics, Bucks, Cavs, Raptors, Heat, 76ers....

 

[Mecca]

Hope George doesn't miss 8 games in a row like Herro.

Kawhi, I have no hope.

Paul George and Kawhi Leonard will not play against Denver

Marc Stein: The Clippers say Paul George (right hamstring tendon strain) and Kawhi Leonard (right ankle sprain) remain out for Friday’s game against Denver. More NBA from me: marcstein.Substack.com…

my buddy Tlance said Oladipo and LeVert would be better than Jarret Allen at the time of the trade....lol....

I still have time for the Harden- maybe he falls apart.

Allen has been awesome.

Duncan Robinson- giving a guy that much money who does one thing- and is soft- and now cant find his shot- what a disaster.

Lowry is well on his way to decline as well---- an undersized guy on that is gonna be 37 later this year....not a great candidate to keep his talent into the twilight of his career

say what you want about Kevin Love- but the dude can still rebound, shoot and pass.

 

[WiggyRuss]

Cavs got another game at Milwaukee tonight....I hope they show up and play well.

Garland and Mitchell are TOUGH offensively....geez....those guys have figured it out offensively.

They need to work on the defense and finishing. They have lost a couple games they should have won this season by not finishing- mainly Clippers and GSW.

Allen was a steal.

Full stop.

Dunno what you are referring to with Harden.

As for the Heat, I'm still not giving you credit for that Riley is losing his fastball nonsense.

I just think somethings just broke wrong.

They owe trash ass Robinson over 70 mil and he's shooting 30%.

Not from 3.

From the field....lol

Olidipo is as big a thief as Kawhi.

Both of those were clear mistakes.

No complaints on Bam.

I love Herro.

But, they just gave him 130 mil and he's played 55, 54 and 66 games...... Has he ever had a major injury?

Has he ever had a surgery?

When he's on the court he's fire and worth every penny.

But, he doesn't play hurt...not even in the playoffs.

He's already missed 8 games this year.

Jimmy?

Nothing bad to say about him.

He misses time.

But, the guy gives his all.

They owe Lowry 58 mil and he's in a slight decline.

Not CP3 level.

But, getting there.

...and as much as I like the Martin kid, he's 6'5.

They need a legit pf....the guy they gave away for Lowry is playing pretty well as a reserve.


Toronto Raptor fans should be happy as hell.

They got a chip out of Kawhi and Lowry and then avoided paying them at the start of their decline.

Plus, their team is better than both the Clippers and Heat.

Riley, Frank took reasonable and understandable risks.

But, Masai outwitted them both.

I won't even get started on OKC.

 

[SMOKEY95]

I LIKED WHAT I SAW FROM KEVIN KNOX AGAINST THE JAZZ THAT PASS FROM BURKS TO KEVIN FOR HIS SECOND MADE 3 IN THE FIRST QUARTER WAS HECTIC I ALWAYS DO THAT PASS ON 2K BEEN DOING IT SINCE 2014

 

[Stakesarehigh]

The Heat outbid themselves by about 35 to 40 million on Duncan. Nice end of bench guy when he's hitting 3s. But even his absolute best year his per was 13 and he played subpar D.

In fairness, he basically got Davis Bertans money.

Just unfortunate, they both went into the toilet as soon as they got paid.

Maybe a change of scenery can revitalize him?

Radio says Suns might be interested.

Aren't you on the East Coast?

I'm on a goddamn plane.

What's your excuse for being up?
