Was boxscore watching this game. Great win before the break. Sad to see Jovic with only 14 min. See Jagsmith got revenge on his old team

The earlier turnover was dumb. That turnover was 60 % on Herro, 20 % on Duncan and 20 % on Spo. Duncan or Spo should have a called a TO there.

It was a ******* horrible shot, 8 seconds on the shot clock and 13 seconds left in the game. Worst case you put up a shot with a second or 2 left on the shot clock and if they don't get a clean rebound it might be over instead of giving them a chance of getting the possession with around 10 seconds left on the clock. How the **** can you defend that?


Lol why you swearing at me. Its interesting how much emotion Herro brings at ya'll. He had an open mid jumper, that's he's been making and team is up 3. So he took it, I don't mind. It's not like they've been generating good offense. They had been struggling to get good shots. Worse that happens is Sixers get rebound and make a 3 to tie the game.
The bigger mistake was the turnover up 2 possessions. That's one shouldn't happen.


No one was making shots, not even Duncan who missed a floater and a 3 that was thankfully put back by JJJ.

Winning an ugly game after a B2B, I’ll take it.
Team needs to use the break and refocus. All I ask.

I really dislike plays that can cost a team a nearly guaranteed win. It actually wasn't a normal stupid play; it was an ego play to try to ice the game instead of doing the right play. I knew once he got the ball he was shooting it and he did.

A smart coach will use that type of ego against Miami and at some point, and it's possibly going to cost Miami a very important game.

I happen to dislike players who play outside their skillset because of their ego. I refused to follow my local OKC Thunder team because of Westbrooks ego (taking shots away from KD and sometimes others), hated watching Wiggins jacking shots for no apparent reason in Minnesota other than to get another shot up and how I'm having to watch Herro do the same thing. All talented players who played outside their skillset and limited their team's success because of it.

I would have been upset at anyone taking that shot, if it's a dunk that's one thing, but a jumper?

When Herro got the ball, I knew he was taking the shot, I would have been highly surprised if he didn't.

Open lol? It’s not because it’s Herro, it’s because it was a horrible decision that could’ve cost the game

He wasn't very efficient but without key buckets in the 4th we loose this game. It's fine if you don't like the dude. I just don't understand fans not liking a player they drafted.
And chances of Herro hijacking a game to cost us a key win in playoffs are zero. Firstly when Butler is back, Butler will be closing the game and not Herro. If he isn't, then its because he's being passive which is on Butler.
Secondly Spo isn't afraid to bench Herro. We've seen Herro sit the 4th when the lineup is rolling without him. So its not something I'm concerned about. Come playoffs its gonna be Butler, Bam + whoever Spo thinks is playing well to close games.

What also gets combined in with Herro is not using him as an asset to strengthen the roster, if Miami could have gotten 2 1st for Herro last year when they were trying to get Lillard, having those 2 1st in combination with the 1st they gave up this year could have netted a much better player than Rozier. I get there's potential with Herro but I think his ego is a little bit too big for his skillset, I do happen to think there will be a time when his ego won't be an issue anymore and he'll be a much more efficient player but that's not for a few more years down the road or a couple of times being traded.

Just think of how pissed everyone would have been had Bam not gotten that rebound, Philly gets the ball, TO and ends up tying the game and Miami loses in OT. It's just a situation that shouldn't happen.

It’s not that deep man. It was a terrible shot. Too much time left on the shot clock. Duncan was open in the corner. Herro was not open at all. He rushed it and wanted to put the game away and be the “hero”. And it nearly cost us. Herro takes 20 shots to get his 20 points. It’s bad inefficient basketball. He needs to improve big time. Doesn’t matter much in a game in February, I’m sure Spo will speak to him about it as this cannot happen in the playoffs.

Herro went back to his old self towards the end but I think he had the green light for that. I'm not sweating it because that wouldn't happen if Jimmy were playing and he's actively trying to be a more efficient player to help the team. At least we won.

It's a history of bad shots that I keep complaining about and people just ignore, at some point it's going to cost the team in the playoffs. This is the same person who had a meeting with his coach (Spoelstra) after a game to talk about his bad shot selection, the very next game he took even worse shots and had a horrible shooting percentage for that game.

If Spo didn’t like how Herro was playing, he wouldn’t be playing. Most of the shots Herro is missing are really shots he can easily be making. Missing open 3s, missing floaters and layups. It’s not like he’s taking Kobeesque shots over a bunch of defenders lol. The last one he just went way too early but he is the only guy that can create his own shot right now so he went. He needs to reel it in a bit sure but imo he’s playing fine, he’s just not as efficient as I’d like. Missing really easy shots.
