I’m afraid these Murray performances are going to get many in league ready to pony up. My biggest fear is a ton of teams tossing in there chips. Specifically the Spurs giving Hawks their picks back.

While true, at least the Lakers won't be getting him for a bag of chips now

JJJ’s availability limits the Jrich and Caleb shenanigans. He’s usually doing SOMETHING of value out there.

I agree, him coming back doesn’t fix the team tho

I can't believe Herro ruined UD's jersey retirement night like that :noway:

Trade him for Murray immediately! Don't let Murray leave Miami!

Hawks hold all the leverage. He’s locked in contract and can wait it out till the deadline for absolute best offer. Gonna be tough. Might have to pivot back to Rozier. Hawks are streaking and Hornets are a dumpster fire

We just lost to a Trae-less Atlanta. Fantastic.

Cmon Bam what’s with that Yankees hat? How about rocking a Mets hat like your boy Donavan Mitchell

Back to back losses vs teams without their best player. Heat culture

I should've started a "Herro sucks" chant in the arena. Everyone was pissed off at him. I am still fuming over this embarrassment.

This loss was not solely on Herro. He literally just hit a three to put us up 4 with 36 seconds left. That should be a position you don’t lose from. The last offensive possession was bad, but he’s been our best option for 4th quarter buckets for quite a while now. Still, I’d have liked that to be in Jimmy’s hands for either a bucket in the paint or a kick out for a Herro jumper.

I blame the JRich foul the most, as it was totally ill advised. That’s why he shouldn’t play at end of quarters, it has been a career long issue for him to make bad decisions late clock.

Caleb not even getting a shot off was inexcusable too. Jimmy kicked it out to him and he had a second to take the open 3, wide open. He puts the ball on the floor and we don’t even get a shot up.

Martin was dumb but man why throw the ball to Jimmy with his back to basket going towards the out line where he is no threat and than Jimmy(whoever it was) throws a grenade to Martin horrible execution by the inbounds passer/Jimmy and Martin.

I for one do not like the new dribble hand off angle we have seen in the last 3 or so games. They have really straightened out that line to a high stop point. Guys have hit 3s from there but it is not forcing the defense to move as much.

I am sure they are trying to force teams to at least think about how they defend that (over vs under/switch) but I don't think it is leaving our motion man in the best position to actually do anything. Plus when it is a keeper the traffic is dead in front of Bam, when it is a hand off the motion has stopped and has to be restarted.

I get you, The dribble hand off It's not a good motion. History tells us that only lazy teams use it a lot... But we have to face it...it Is one of our best assets... And the positive thing is that good teams tend to do it early in the season, Like You say we are

we use to pull it across the top, create a lot of space inside as it was chased and had a strong two man game getting the ball back to bam....last few games we are taking the motion back behind the screener and stopping. No one is clearing behind Bam to give him a clean exit towards the basket.

They need to change it back to how we have ran it the last 3 or so years.

Quite frankly, I was happy that the Heat went with Herro at the end of the game, and I mean the possession before the Martin brain fart. And even with the length Herro was facing on defense, the shot looked good and was off by like a centimeter. Though I wish Spo had called a timeout to get everything set for a better shot.

The whole team seems off. Morale doesn't look good.

We keep excusing Caleb on the last play I feel like lol the dude had a WIDE OPEN 3 and just had a complete brain fart. I’m not going to knock the play because it led to what should’ve been a wide open 3 point attempt
