Miami gave them hell but fell short. It’s been an incredible season. Be proud of this Miami Heat.

I'm in Vegas, attending a CBA course that I paid for and the hotel that I'm staying in is coincidentally the same one in which this altercation occurred in.

It was in the hotel gym. Doors were closed and there was security at the front preventing anyone from coming / entering. Other people were there too getting a workout in. Doors were closed, so you couldn't hear anything, but the side-wall of the gym is entirely glass so you can see everything.

The altercation wasn't actually bad as the tweet by Shams suggests. Bam shoved Herro with one arm after the conversation got heated and then the two were broken up and separated. The push was pretty aggressive - Herro went back several feet but was never knocked off his legs. There was no punch thrown. I could see at the start of the interaction that Tyler was surprised to see Bam there and he tried to dab him up as Bam approached him, and Bam didn't do it. Further words were exchanged than and it started getting heated. People eventually came to separate them, which is when Bam one-armed shoved Tyler.

clear as day he did that on purpose to Bam

Moral of the story, Pay Jimmy and we good, Pat was wrong the entire fucking time. Heat fan's that don't wanna admit jimmy is him is delusional.

I’m not happy about being 0-3 but the crying has to stop. I’m surprised there’s not more assuring posts stating that we just need to build chemistry. I mean almost our entire roster is new with a lot of guys who’ve never played together…

Personally, I’ll start worrying if things aren’t taking shape by game 25. But damn even if they don’t shape up you won’t find me making long posts about it everyday.

We gave up Herro, who I liked but clearly needed the change of scenery, Ware who is a plus/minus nightmare and doesn’t give a shit, Jaime who admittedly stings to lose but realistically has a 6th man ceiling, and Kas who also stings but is still an unproven player. Sure, we gave up 3 picks, but the Knicks gave up 5 for Mikal fucking Bridges and the Magic gave up 4 for Desmond Bane.

Yes, the team obviously needs some more depth and shooting, but we just got a fucking top 5 player. We kept Pelle, who had a breakout season. We still have productive guys. And most of all, we finally changed the trajectory for this damn team. After grating years of awful, mediocre, and tiring play-in ball, we made a massive change. Whoever is upset about this is utterly insane. This team needed a jolt and this is about as good as it gets.

Obviously it wouldn’t be this season. I give it a 0% but just wanted to float this in the ether. Pretty sure Curry would retire before leaving GSW

If they didn't give Philadelphia Jaylen brown for free, then LeBron for sure wouldn't have gone there

How do we feel about bam saying he doesn’t want to be captain nor never wanted to be one.

Me personally i thought the point of giving him 200+ Million dollars, was partly cause of his integrity, leadership and do it all style type of a player.

I think no one should receive a max contract and not want to be a leader or THE leader of his team.

Mikal was expensive as hell, I know. But OG Anunoby was acquired for RJ Barrett, Immanuel Quickley, and a SECOND-ROUND pick, lmaooooo.

Not to mention KAT, who they got in a relatively cheap deal involving Julius Randle, whose value was probably no more than a first-round pick.

When you're a competent front office, you work the market and find good opportunities.This is just an example, of course.

But some people here will still say there was nothing we could do to bring help for Jimmy and Bam after the 2020 Finals bubble run. I guess we deserve the limbo we're stuck in right now.
