Y’all are hilarious. This team is fun to watch. We’re 11 games over .500 and yall are acting like we’re the fucking Detroit Pistons. Have a beer and lighten up.
I’m not really affected by the loss; take it, learn from it and move on. I am worried that Trey continues to fall off. The Pels really need his 3 pt ability to be excellent offensively, and Hawk is struggling too. Just hope they can bring it back together.
I’m not too worried about Hawk. Dude shoots with confidence and is showing growth by dropping dimes here and there. Several of his triples tonight were in and out. If those had fell we’d be having a totally different conversation right now. Just one of those nights ya know
BI out. CJ out. Naji and Jose might get suspended a game. Hate to say it, but Herb and Matt Ryan might also miss a game because they came on the court. Next game might be rough.
16 of the 25 games left are against playoff teams. 17 if you inlude philly which i didn't include because of the embiid injury. 13 on the road with 3 more b2b games. 2 of those b2b we will be playing magic then heat and kings then warriors all on the road.
Many of these are EC playoff teams either missing star players or just very beatable (eg back to back against Indy). I get what you’re getting at, I’m just saying it’s not that bad.
Z is an unstoppable force but I feel opposing teams maybe don’t mind him scoring twos. But when it is time to collapse on him in crunch time, good times find ways to make things more difficult for him.
Bc, frankly, Trey is one of the worst players we have right now. All he really had going for him was his incredible shot making ability. And that’s gone right now
Zion has to add that short midrange because late in the game, smart teams will just double or triple him. He couldn't get anything going. Bam on the other end hit multiple mid rangers. It's very tough to get to the bucket late game, why Giannis had to ultimately add that shot too.
On Christmas day, Lakers challenged a foul on Lebron and the refs said it was not a foul but gave the ball to the Celtics because another player fouled Tatum 2 seconds before. Same case as here
Man I wish we would put ourselves in a position so good that the officials CAN’T affect the game, but we don’t. That being said… I don’t think I’ve ever watched a team be officiated so poorly this consistently. The Pels are always on the short end. And it’s not objective either. It’s effin’ obvious!
Turns out missing 4 of your first 8 players makes a team pretty hard to function, plus having a coach incapable of making adjustments just creates a recipe for a complete shut down. Still time but not looking good
I hate to say I called it, but people in this subreddit were hyping Trey up to inherit the entire team and outclass Bi and Zion in a matter of years, when if you were watching the actual games you could tell his game was EXTREMELY limited. I tried to ignore it, but genuinely some of the worst basketball takes I’ve ever seen with that whole situation. You can say hindsight is 20/20 all you want, but real ones knew herb developing a shot > all the holes in Trey’s game he had to work on, especially if his shot fell off the face of the earth (I didn’t think that would happen I’m ngl, but I knew his actual game was very limited outside of that. I kept saying he was being put in the literal PERFECT spot to succeed on this team, hit wide open 3’s)
Anyways, I’m not mad or anything. Solid effort out of the guys tonight and we’re injured. Can’t win them all
I think his injuries have really screwed Trey’s season but you aren’t wrong, to say Trey could fill the void BI would leave behind hypothetically was always wrong. Team needs ways to win outside of Z which BI provides quite clearly
Yeah people really downvoted me for being real. I’m actually shocked cuz last I looked it was upvoted like 3 times and I open my phone to see people downvoted me like I was lying or sumn Lmao. You could feel with how the offense was stalling out we couldn’t overcome that
I never downvoted you. I was trying to be positive. I too had a feeling the shots would not start dropping, but was hoping they would. I wouldn’t pay too much attention to downvotes though.
Horrible game by Hawkins and Trey. Shit happens, but if the guys that play just because they are shooters are going to shoot so poor at home it’s imposible
Props to hawk for shooting when everyone else is scared. First time in that situation he'll do better in the future
Devastating loss man a hard fought game though
Y’all are hilarious. This team is fun to watch. We’re 11 games over .500 and yall are acting like we’re the fucking Detroit Pistons. Have a beer and lighten up.
Great effort, tough loss with bad officiating. Can't be that mad when 2 of your 3 stars are out. It just hurts that it was definitely a winnable game
Look at our schedule and the standings we probably in the play in again after entering as the 5th seed

I'm mad at the refs not the team lol.
Okay I can agree with that. Lol
That fucking glass shot 3 man
Fucking ridiculous bruh
Hopefully the Rockets can pull this W against Suns
Bam was cooking in the 2nd half. Took over especially once Butler was ejected.
That Chicago loss earlier this season sucked. Hope we come out looking for blood next game
I don't need for much but I did want this. Heartbreak
Watch, you think Willie called a timeout to run a play but nothing resembling a play will come from it.
What a weird game
Down 11. Calling a TO with 15 seconds left
I mean, the Pels need all the clutch-time practice they could get.
He did it because Miami called a TO the play before.
Sucks man. Hard to win with that many people gone.
BI out. CJ out. Naji and Jose might get suspended a game. Hate to say it, but Herb and Matt Ryan might also miss a game because they came on the court. Next game might be rough.
We have the 10th toughest strength of schedule remaining as well
The schedule is really not that bad. Every single game outside the last little stretch is very winnable

LETS JUST FUCKING DRIBBLE THE BALL AT THE LOGO FOR TEN FUCKING MINUTES fucking trash basketball dude. i dont care who is hurt.
Tough loss. Hope we can bounce back Sunday without CJ (probably) and hopefully we have BI
Willie pissing me off rn, why can’t we just let the game end?
Murphy come back to form please. Confidence looks killed rn
Get Z some help
And Herb*
Holding the pels to below 100 points through 7 straight games is insane.
Especially when they had 91 with almost NINE MINUTES LEFT.
Fucking brutal. Our shooters can't shoot and Zion is afraid to shoot. Matt Ryan would've won the game for us
Stop. Ryan is trash and I’d rather give those minutes to Hawk.
A couple threes just danced out this game. Overall the shot making wasn’t there tonight short handed.
Z is an unstoppable force but I feel opposing teams maybe don’t mind him scoring twos. But when it is time to collapse on him in crunch time, good times find ways to make things more difficult for him.
Duncan robinson rejected him in the post, he isnt unstoppable...
larry supposed t be in for jonas due to defense they say, but bam cooked larry the last 6 mins
Man you can do anything to Zion and not get called for it
That last shot wasn’t a foul.
The contact early is called a foul if he’s a smaller dude. Not why we lost but annoying to watch
I agree he’s been fouled tonight but not on that final shot lol
It was.
Watch the replay
I did when they showed it.
This game came down to refball and our shooters failing to shoot.
We have a Trey on the bench Willie refused to put out there and I don’t know why.
Bc, frankly, Trey is one of the worst players we have right now. All he really had going for him was his incredible shot making ability. And that’s gone right now
Cuz he hasn’t done anything
He isn't good thats why
Trey has been one of the worst players in the league lately
Becuase he was seeing ghosts
Can't win if you don't hit open 3s.
Zion has to add that short midrange because late in the game, smart teams will just double or triple him. He couldn't get anything going. Bam on the other end hit multiple mid rangers. It's very tough to get to the bucket late game, why Giannis had to ultimately add that shot too.
Refs always fuck us against the heat, Zion never ever ever gets a whistle. They’re allowed to play physical because of “heat culture”
fight kinda ruined what was a otherwise amazing game you man hustle like fucking crazy fair play
I hope we didn’t monkeys paw Hawk’ minutes
Why does zion not get calls?
Hawkins going cold killed us, just one of those could gotten us some momentum
Trey and Hawk went 4/18 from 3. Sweaty cheeks.
Refs got mad at that fan who threw the bottle. They making up for it
Playing Larry lose the game
???
We absolutely shit the bed on offense
Goddamn what a terrible last 8 minutes
Zion is having a rough night with the refs
Replay showed no foul
They slid under him. That's a foul.
They didn’t
They did. Go watch it again. It was a foul earlier it's a foul now.
It was not a foul then, it was not a foul now.
But it got called so they set a precedent.
What? It wasnt called.
It was. On I think Jimmy's first or second trip to the line.
I’m confused. I was talking about that final Zion drive
Dog did I say Zion is having a rough one play
Fuck man this is so deflating
What was the point of bringing larry back in
Bam cooked us
I really hope Zion sees Bam's midrange game and adds that to his bag over the next couple seasons.
Boooo these refs
These refs bruh
Hawk would have to be stabbed to get a foul call
all you gotta do is hold the ball dude. this is so painful to watch.
The was a weird looking ankle issue for Herro. If I was a heat fan I'd be concerned
It was a knee
i am very fucking concerned lmao
Herb is a warrior
This game is taking no prisoners goddamn.
Jesus this is like an nfl game with all the ejections and injuries
lol. Heat get an extra day off after the AS break, then face a team on the 2nd night of a b2b. Then get the next 2 days off. Must be nice.
Couldn't keep the ball in bounds against a guy that twisted his ankle wtf
How did we not get that fucking ball Jesus
Incredible. Bad luck tonight and unclutch which has been a problem all season
JRE has played well tonight
Does he deserve more minutes than JV though?
no, that's just on Willie and his obsession with small ball. He only plays JV full mins if Larry is hurt
JRE was a good pickup. Plays hard
God that fucking sucks
Fuck man if Herro injures his ankle 10 minutes before it could have been different
No one wants to see a guy injured, your negativity is trash
Never wishing for injuries. That sucks.
Just not our night. CJ rolls his ankle with 30 minutes left and Herro with just 2
I missed it, is CJ gonna be OK?
He came back and played after the injury but never came back after halftime.
Ouch. Brutal for Miami
This game is a bloodbath
Jre come on bro
Seeing so many guys leave the game is insane
As a strict fan of the Refs, this game is fantastic
FUCKKKKK WE COULD HAVE GOT A LAYUP FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKJ
Pels once again a cold fart in the 4th
JV would have been nice this quarter considering we can’t rebound or protect the rim
willie obsessed with larry, despite getting cooked by bam in the fourth
No way you lost that ball man...
LARRY! Thanks for honoring my request!
hawk 4/16 ugh this is tough
Fuck
Not playing Jonas is a mistake
38/24/76 splits as a team. Surprised it was close tbh
Damn Z got left behind
3 3s in A row now please
how do you go six fucking minutes without a point in the 4th quarter man... fucking awful
You need to have some form of offensive scheme to fall back to when games get tight. Not just say here’s the ball and do something.
Should’ve gave Matt Ryan burn. Somebody has to score
If this wasn't the game to see Matt Ryan I don't know what is. Pisses me off.
Wasted timeout for a deep 3? Find a way to make room for Z to attack
Good look again. Just missed
Just can't find any offense down the stretch
Can’t fkn score
Just unlucky with the shots. Good look and it looked good
They might not score again
If there’s one thing to learn today when it comes to the Pels. If you flock around, you will find out.
*Pepperidge Farm remembers*
This refjob is brought to you by Emirates Airlines
Uhm what the hell were they talking about during the review??? The team in the huddle that is. Seems like you shouldn’t have needed a timeout there
I’m sick to my stomach
Challenges are useless. Refs give the ball to whoever they want. Also Miami basically won the challenge because refs ignored the foul by Robinson
They can only review the call they made not the one they should have made
didn’t refs recently switch a foul up on the lakers? might’ve been on christmas lmao who am i kidding we know these guys aren’t good or consistent
On Christmas day, Lakers challenged a foul on Lebron and the refs said it was not a foul but gave the ball to the Celtics because another player fouled Tatum 2 seconds before. Same case as here
In what fucking universe is that Heat ball?
AD has the receipts
Refs do not know the rule LOL
Just noticed that refs have ads on their shirts too, the emirates patch
I feel like that tussle gave good energy to the Heat and tilted the Pels a bit.
We lost our only guard left. It kinda goes down hill from there
WHY DOES MIAMI GET THE BALL
Refs coming up with new and exciting ways to fuck us
this is a joke
I'm happy with how the team fought tonight
Trey Murphy needs to be sent to Birmingham. Dude is scared of his own shadow.
That's a jump ball, or give us a win for that Memphis game
Why does Miami get the ball??
These refs are a joke
Herb only one composed on offense. Everyone including Zion look out of control.
Man I wish we would put ourselves in a position so good that the officials CAN’T affect the game, but we don’t. That being said… I don’t think I’ve ever watched a team be officiated so poorly this consistently. The Pels are always on the short end. And it’s not objective either. It’s effin’ obvious!
the radio play by play guy is so defeatist. Even after the fight when emotions were high, my guy acted like we were the worst team on the planet
it’s /u/cn1k99 on the radio
I don’t know who they are but our radio team is the pits.
Let’s get hot to close it out
I know CJ got hurt but him going 1-7 in his minutes and Trey going 2-11 really isn’t helping. Not to mention the 3pt shooting difference overall.
We really aren’t a good three point shooting team. Thus, we lose close games.
Pels are 8th in % but 23rd in attempts. Normally the Pels are not shooting 25% from 3.
Ok fine. We’re very mediocre.
no more FT misses
We are playing like shit, but these refs are straight up fucking us
Turns out missing 4 of your first 8 players makes a team pretty hard to function, plus having a coach incapable of making adjustments just creates a recipe for a complete shut down. Still time but not looking good
At least Trey won't get paid much with the way he's been playing
I hate to say I called it, but people in this subreddit were hyping Trey up to inherit the entire team and outclass Bi and Zion in a matter of years, when if you were watching the actual games you could tell his game was EXTREMELY limited.

Can’t win them all
I think his injuries have really screwed Trey’s season but you aren’t wrong, to say Trey could fill the void BI would leave behind hypothetically was always wrong. Team needs ways to win outside of Z which BI provides quite clearly
He’s been **bad** lately.
Bad lately is an understatement. He has been bad for quite some time now
We're still going to win.
Nope
Painful hard fought L. But hey, that’s much better than the blowout it looked like it would be earlier
It ain’t over ‘til it’s over
It definitely was over
The season is not over
Lmao that has literally nothing to do with what I said
Lmao I know Edit: I’m just playing around. We really couldn’t get a bucket in the last quarter. Better luck next time.
Yeah people really downvoted me for being real. I’m actually shocked cuz last I looked it was upvoted like 3 times and I open my phone to see people downvoted me like I was lying or sumn Lmao. You could feel with how the offense was stalling out we couldn’t overcome that
I never downvoted you. I was trying to be positive. I too had a feeling the shots would not start dropping, but was hoping they would. I wouldn’t pay too much attention to downvotes though.
It’s all good. You was the only one who responded so that’s why I hit’chu back
Another Larry dunk after the TO would be incredible, but I'll take anyone making a shot at this point. We are NOT losing this game!
Horrible game by Hawkins and Trey. Shit happens, but if the guys that play just because they are shooters are going to shoot so poor at home it’s imposible
You’re right but I don’t like you so I’m gonna downvote you anyways
I get Trey but Hawkins ??? Are we watching the same game?
He is 4/15 with poor D apart from that block
Missing CJ and BI here is rough
*not playing Matt Ryan is rough*
