place your bets on gino time folks.

wow, the perfect way to start the fourth quarter.

i predict the deep bench in at around the 6 minute mark.

Stop shooting 3’s!

Oh, wait. On second thought… 

[blink]

great offensive balance tonight.  literally everyone getting into the act

[SparzWizard]

Getting some much needed revenge against this team. They're like the New York Giants of basketball to us.

Everyone on the planet knew Brown was shooting that, come hell or high water.
Someone else had to be open there with three guys hanging on him.

Jrue was right there and he called for it before he set the screen. It's up to Jaylen to make that pass though.

My point exactly, he plays with blinders too much of the time and takes some awful pullup 3's, even when they are going in like tonite.
Those bad shots are not always going to fall and having a hot night just encourages bad habits.

To be clear, I wasn't disagreeing with you. I think Jaylen has been better this season with his decision making, but he still has those moments when he decides that he's going to shoot no matter what and everyone - including those of us watching at home - know it.

KP on the bench! No way he plays, but that's a GREAT sign for us.

Really hoping he can go on Saturday against LAC.

Let him rest. We need him in May/June.
We've already handled the Clippers once.

They just cannot miss. The Heat perimeter defense is pretty bad to say the least

And probably got worse with Rozier. At least Lowry even at his age and losing speed was a smart defender and a threat to draw the charge.

Don't know they plan on playing Rozier and Herro together in the backcourt. That's probably as poor of a backcourt defense as Milwaukee.

That seems pretty unlikely. Probably out for a while but who knows.  I do think the timing is helpful - a little more impetus to pick up another big if possible. But I love Luke. He got and still gets way more grief here than he deserves. He clearly has outplayed expectations and is doing so consistently. 
Cs ridiculous from deep tonight.

Lol.  Heat "fans" already left the building.

Heat Kulture!

Do you think Riley is cussing in his head in games like this? lol

[tenn_smoothie]

Don't you love kicking Pat Riley's ass at any opportunity ?
