2024 Playoffs: Round 1, Game 1 - MIA @ BOS 4/21 at 1pm EST

[Daffy]

While we're on the topic of draft misses I just want to remind everyone how badly Justise Winslow set us back. We could've and should've had Booker.

The reality is we can do this with literally every draft with the gift of hindsight. In realtime Winslow was ahead of Booker in virtually every mock draft. Blame Cal.

I only bring this one up because if I remember correctly didn't Miami say Booker was the pick if Winslow didn't slide?

Keeping your starters in till the end in a blowout. FRONTRUNNERS!

We are stealing game 2

[Michael Doleac]

Take the draft/tank stuff to off topic

Martin might have to opt in this offseason. This has been a bad season for him.

Yea everyone talks like he’s getting bread after his 1 every now and then good game but overall he’s seemed pretty
Mediocre and actually has been pretty selfish this season

[Shewasfly]

Anyways, whatever happens this series, I hope Boston is crushed by whoever they end up facing. Can't think of a more unlikeable franchise besides the Lakers and maybe the Knicks.

[Bmaster]

Hope hero is gone after this season. He was terrible.

Sign of respect, I didn't mind. That said, let's take game 2!!!

[twix2500]

Hopefully the Heat can at least get a sign and trade opportunity for Martin

Can't be mad. They are badly over matched. It was just dumb to throw away regular season. One more win and they play Cavs, who I'd pick them to beat.
As for as this game, Spo needs better game plan. The 3 points attempts need to be reversed. Every game we should be + 10 - 15 in 3 point attempts. We are still likely to loose but its better than this.
And the message to Herro and everyone, you get a semi open 3. Dont think just pull up and shoot. Herro started doing it in the 4th but next game it should be all game. And if Duncan can go he needs to play a ton of mins

Knicks may be able to take them.

Can we take back Lowry??

[MorbidHEAT]

I’m going to lose my sheit if the position of the front office is to run it back because we would have been able to compete without all the injuries.

Don't think so, if we don't get them by some miracle, these guys are going to the finals.

[dubasilva]

I can't help it, but I absolutely dislike Herro's game. He doesn't play Miami Heat Basketball.
I know this is one bad game, and I hope he plays better in the next few games.
My opinion of him is probably not going to change. He can bring the ball as a PG, and he's also not good enough to be a starting SG.
He's a 6th man who makes too much money and, unfortunately, has very little trade value around the league.

[Dmcdani6]

Wright, Jaquez, Bam, Herro, Martin. That was the squad that made that run right?

[3ammy3uck3ts]

They’re going to kick us while we’re down, it is what it is. They’re going to act like tough guys while Jimmy and Terry are out and their fanbases are going to talk crazy and just ignore the fact we don’t have our best or 3rd best player. It is what it is, fight and make a game of it though. Not getting swept would be big, pushing to 6 would be amazing but it’s going to take a full team effort it’s not going to matter if Herro came out and scored 50 if we’re 7-32 from 3 and playing weak ass defense we’re going to lose.

We never worked out Winslow. We should have never drafted him and stick to who we worked out. Might be why we passed on that other rookie that tumbled this year too. Forgot his name, rockets picked him up; super athletic.

[Lord Hades]

22-49 from 3. JFC.

Perkins: “Miami can shoot 100% from the 3 and the field and they’re still going to get swept.”

Wilbon shakes his head yes.

Absolute expert analysis

[NightWatch]

Hope we move Wright into the starting lineup the next game and bench Martin. All of Herro's ball handling woes would be alleviated, and Wright is one of the few making 3s this game.

I'd rather start Duncan. Wright isn't a great shooter. He'll go back to being cold. Duncan needs to play 30 + mins if he can. And I'd to have on the floor at the same time as Herro to alleviate the pressure on Herro. Jrue and White are man handling. Take one of them off him Herro to cover Duncan. And Herro got a chance on a switch against other defenders

Wright is making a lot of 3s this game though

And if we are putting Duncan in the starting line up, it needs to be iin place of Tyler

Tyler had been a little better in the 4th quarter but Celtics seems to let off the gas ever so slightly nearing the end of the game, though. 4th quarter was the production that we needed in the 1st quarter from herro. Disagree or agree, Kevin love should’ve played more in this game?
