Another blatant football foul against the Pistons not called. A real owner throws a fit at this point.

I would trade our entire team, minus Wiseman for Jimmy friggin' Butler.

Not sure if he's quite as good a scorer as Bojan, but he's got a lot more grit on d and rebounding.

BB was a better scorer but such a negative on defense that it breaks even.

Cade getting no love from the refs as per usual.

Cades playing really well tonight.

Why on earth would you hold back and want to keep Wiseman????

Fournier clearly in the act of shooting on that foul.

Damn just seen that after my post I'm watching a shady stream a little behind.

Were just so bad the refs give us nothing. Cade will eventually get those 50/50 calls hes still proving who he is to the league. Its unfortunate but its the way it goes.

Jaden Ivey dribbles for 16 seconds, passes gets it back and big time airball what a play call.

Ivey's shot is so off tonight. If he hit even a couple of these jump shots we'd be tied up or in the lead right now.

Are Bam and KCP related?

Heat turned up the D. It may not look like it... but this one is over.

Hes been shooting awful post ASB. 6/35 from 3pt.

I'm more confidant that Ausar is going to make them right now than I am with Ivey. Hopefully he kicks out of this slump soon he's actually fallen below last season's average now where for a while it looked like something he improved on this year.

An out of control Ivey turnover leading to a big Heat three in crunch time. Painful.

Ivey...

I think he was just running really hot from 3pter on that streak. If you look at his FT% its identical as last year which is identical as it was in college at 74%. If he was improving as a shooter I'd expect his FT% would be improving on the better mechanics.

He did make a big jump in shooting when he returned to school.

Is it a slump? Or is it a function of Cade returning to the lineup?

We keep looking at Cade as the indicator as to whether they can co-exist, but the offense warps to Cade regardless. Ivey is 100% suffering from his current role. Whether coaching can fix that is debatable, but if staggering their minutes is the solution that's still problematic.

Butler decided he ain't losing to the Pistons.
