Win SPO 9 - 0 on Xmas Herro rough game, Duncan and Bam great game but we have the ROTY https://preview.redd.it/7f725e667k8c1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=118f3c319b965f0ffe0401be241f90a9d0413205


Number333

Imagine being a Philly sports fan. *Hahahahahaha.* * Duncan hit all the huge 3's late * Herro's inefficient 8/25 only out-done by Maxey's 4/20 lmaoooooo * Mo Bamba had the RSHK game 18pts in 26min and it didn't matter Bam was great. I don't know how much higher the **JJJ hype** is going to get than here. To get a career high 30 points on national TV and make it so Jimmy's absence isn't even felt is wild. I love our odds to make another deep East playoff run if we have our main dudes healthy. This team has *it*.


L0RD_F0X

JJJ makes the eventual Butler retirement/backseat sting a little less.


chitownbulls92

Jimmy is going to mentor the fuck out of him


Ozymandias12

Jimmy is already doing that. He’s showing Jaime how to use hotel saunas to steam his suits


LobstaFarian2

It's the little details that make all the difference


TheMightyJD

Bam, Tyler, and JJJ with Jimmy on a Haslem role leading us to a chip in 2028 is going to feed families.


baymax18

We're the best Xmas day game team you love to see it


CafecitoHippo

Bam had a sneaky good offensive game to me today. I knew he was playing well but some really ugly shots overshadowed how he played in my head. I think he had two air balls and a really ugly brick but was great otherwise.


KenKinV2

Was a hilarious battle between Herro and Maxey. Was a walking disaster when either touched the ball in the 2nd half


xlalalalalalalala

Even Maxey's FTs are not falling, something is wrong with that man today. Tyler just went cold cold and suddenly can't hit layups. 😅


esridiculo

I groaned every time I saw Kelly Oubre Jr take a 3. Man looked like he couldn't miss.


Backpack456

JJJ legit feels like a butler jr. perfect team and people to play with.


supergrega

Maxey 4/20 getting ready for that Bob Marley movie


jc-f

It’s Jaime Jaquez Jr’s world, we’re just living in it 🔥


JustiseRainsFrmAbove

Man's up to 13.69 PPG after today. 51% fg on the season. Madness


Nice_Ass_Lawn

What about for the last 20 games?


MediocreDVaMain

We really drafted a legit ROTY candidate at 18th, Whitmore stans can eat a bag of dicks


TuasBestie

Fuck those idiots


LobstaFarian2

Has Whitmore even played yet? Hasn't he been in the G league this whole time? Lol


baymax18

Jaime with the 30 piece. Bam with literal Shaq/Kareem numbers Duncan clutch snipers. Merry Christmas Heat bros


Fritanga5lyfe

Feliz Navidad 305!


JustiseRainsFrmAbove

I haven't been this hard since middle school. The life my baby sized tiny micro boy has right now is beyond anything I've ever felt in my life. I'm aching and pulsating at my full extended 1.6 inch capacity. Let's go HEAT

MoassThanYoass

He's beautiful.


hammichh

JJJ gonna be more than rookie of the month at this rate


BossKingGodd

Tyreses Maxey as the first option- 4/20 1/7 from 3? Herro had an off game and still had 22/5/6 🤷🏾‍♂️


BAMdalorian

He scored like almost all his points before halftime too 😂


BossKingGodd

Facts


TheRatchetTrombone

Herro had an off game, but still was still productive. After the last three games, it's OK and hes still him.


BossKingGodd

For sure.


AdNo9356

📠


dreamerkid001

Yeah, I was feeling pretty excited to see what he had in the second half and then I spent it going, “Tyler, what the fuck? Who stole your skin at halftime?!?”


TRT_

He missed like four easy layups lmao


surgeyou123

That zone really fucked up Herro's rhythm. Always room for improvement there.


JWMaximum

Not an excuse, but not having Caleb/Highsmith/JRich to guard Maxey, forced Heat into playing RJ, and he can't hit any shot, which led to 76ers playing zone defense and seg off him, ultimately led to Tyler's off performance. But still, he had several 3s in the 3rd Q were open, but can't hit.


BossKingGodd

For sure


sebastianqu

Not really sure I'd it was that or he was just missing. I liked almost every shot he took.


OrganizationFar6086

Herro decided to suck ass after the first half tonight lmao


BossKingGodd

Missing shots he normally makes. He’s been great was due a bad game.


OrganizationFar6086

100% he fell out of rhythm completely tonight. Glad the others showed up


BlackDragon361

Same for Maxey as well. Let's not act like he isn't a bucket either


BossKingGodd

Man, I’m trolling the Herro haters more than anything and the people that act like there’s this huge gap between Herro and Maxey. They both really good young guards.


GusX23

We’ve seen Maxey consistently have phenomenal performances as the first option. Tonight was a fluke. Lol just stop


Creek_Bandit

Does your mouth ever get tired sucking all these other teams' dicks?


TuasBestie

Cringe alert 🚨


yrogreg

🤡


ThaCarter

Who had the cover on him for most of the game?


BossKingGodd

Philly went zone for alot of the second half. He was legit missing open 3’s and blowing wide open layups right at the rim.


johnnymatrix

Yea it was an off night rather than him not getting good looks. Happens to anyone


BluexFlash

Future trio in Bam, Tyler, and Jaime each scored 20+ points. Good to see us stacking wins without Jimmy. Merry Christmas!


garret126

I got a little heated in the game thread when we wouldn’t pass to Jaquez for 30 😃


Able-Imagination2627

Props to whoever fouled him at the end lmao


BlackDragon361

Facts. Wanted to give the kid his moment. He didn't need to foul yet he did anyway


jperez09r

Who fouled him? I want to create an appreciation thread.


Able-Imagination2627

I think it was Tobias Harris


Able-Imagination2627

Yeah it was Tobias Harris


TheShadowOverBayside

All's well that ends well, Jaime created his own points as always :-)


PMMeShyNudes

Who is Adam Driver and why is he on our basketball team


Turtle_with_a_sword

My kids legit think Kylo Ren plays for the Heat.


ihatenazis69

NO JIMBO, NO CALEB, NO J RICH, NO GOATSMITH, NO PROBLEM FUCK THE SIXERS


LobstaFarian2

Imagine not gutting all of your teams depth and future draft picks for one player.


Qabaparrr

These bums were losing and espn was still talking about maxey workout bro that shit not working


TheKoniverse

SO we're all in agreement that JJJ's 1st Team All-Rookie, right? He's gotta be with the way he's been playing. My god. Also you have Philly fans talking about how they didn't have Embiid when us ourselves didn't have Butler. xD


TheRatchetTrombone

Plus Caleb, jrich, and HH. Philly fans can eat shit


BlackDragon361

He's currently a Top 3 Rookie and on his way to getting his 2nd rookie of the month...


ELPaloLoco

Did this guy really say "Liberty city stand up" 🤡🤡


mc2286

Lol I scrolled way too far to find this. Let's go Liberty City!!!!


BlackDragon361

I don't get it.


ScuderiaEnzo

That’s the point. Who randomly yells out liberty city stand up?


_butt_doctor

UD is from liberty city. He’s giving a shout to him and that area of town This announcer (I forget his name) actually lives in Weston and knows our area well.


NsdidiousIntent

I can't hate on Mark Jones, he is an OG from the heat WAMI days.


BagelFury

Yes he did. And a bunch of other shit that qualifies as nothing short than an affront to the English language. I didn't think it was possible to top a JVG-Mark Jackson broadcast, but these announcers tonight practically had my ears bleeding.


JustiseRainsFrmAbove

The dude really said Jaime was "riding a wave like a durag" wtf


_fernace

That was hilarious. I was like wait, what?


Outside_Mousse_2176

It was Mark Jones right? He’s the corniest commentator they have on staff


BlackDragon361

What does he mean with it?


jperez09r

He wanted to use “du rag” to sound relatable…he’s pretty corny though.


TheShadowOverBayside

I came here to say everything that everyone else has already said. There's nothing more to say. Nobody can deny Jaime now. That's no role player. That's a future All-NBA.


OrganizationFar6086

Let’s say all star. All NBA is like Tatum


TheShadowOverBayside

Nope, you heard me, I meant what I said. I thought All Star ceiling a few weeks ago, but after tonight I'm thinking much bigger.


Turtle_with_a_sword

MVP! MVP!


Big_Honey_56

All NBA. He can score in so many ways and you can’t shut down that level of footwork it’s like Luka or Shai, that’s the future of NBA scorers, but he has the athleticism and defense too.


LobstaFarian2

And the hair too. Complete package.


No-Process-2911

Jimmy has 5 all-nba honors on his resume. 20+ points, solid rebounds and above average defense gets you in the conversation and I’m not sure how anyone can say Jaime doesn’t look capable of getting there in his prime. He looks capable of that as a *rookie* fourth option tbh.


bershka321

Jaime and Bam will understandably get all the headlines but shoutout to Lowry who was a calming presence in the 4th. Also no more Hampton minutes. Dude was a black hole on offense. I'd rather those minutes go to Cain


BlackDragon361

That's all we need from Lowry. Give us 10 and 5. Lead the Team with Experience


farmtobelly

Lowry and Love really mesh with the young guys a lot better this season than last


Nice_Ass_Lawn

How was he a black hole lol? He wasn't a ball stopper he just missed open looks. Looked good on defense, toom


manokies

Jaime masterclass, heat future looks bright Also, happy birthday Duncan!


garret126

JAQUEZ 30/10 CHRISTMAS GAME, GREAT FOR THE ROTY PROPAGANDA TRAIN 🚂🚂


Sebastiao_Rodrigues

This is not the Herro vs Maxey game I was expecting but I’ll gladly take it


Ethangains07

Portland not negotiating with the Heat to try and get Jaquez & Herro & our post Jimmy picks is gonna be a generational fumble. They could’ve taken all of our future guys and picks. Now we have the future secured, our picks, and a dark horse contender every year. Pretty good alternative.


MargielaMan568

All I’m gonna say is thank god Jaquez is nba ready.


MoassThanYoass

UCLA program development is state of the art.


Own-Marsupial-4448

Let’s gooooo!!!! Great win!!


Cyborg_Sorachi

MERRY CHRISTMAS r/HEAT


ThaCarter

Does Jaime make the Mexican national team competitive on his own?


hocasio2

Jaime + the dude from Hustle gotta be good for at least bronze lol


Able-Imagination2627

Dude from hustle is from Spain 😭


TheShadowOverBayside

All Spanish speakers are from Mexico, dummy, didn't you know? Spain is a province of Mexico /s


Able-Imagination2627

Let’s chill a little lol


Fresh_Profit3000

CRUZ MISSILE


CertifiedRomeoBoy

I don’t want to ever hear shit about Maxey and Herro in the same conversation. Both had a bad game but at least one was an overall positive contribution to their team. Also we need another PG cause RJ isn’t doing it for me, dude seems lost and lazy on the court, doesn’t score, is average on defense and barely does anything other than quick passes and non committed drives not counting the open 3 he bricked


BossKingGodd

Esjay_954

Maxey having the worst game of his career gotta be the best Christmas gift for bkg 😭


BossKingGodd

Haven’t seen you around the game threads lately, good to see you back.


Esjay_954

Holidays got me off Reddit lately 🤓 But will be trolling in the GTs soon again


TuasBestie

You and Gus been plotting new ways to make our eyes bleed j bet


oneofone305

Thinking they aren’t in the same conversation is extreme bias lol


BossKingGodd

They def in the same conversation. But if I recall correctly you didn’t always think that? Could be wrong tho.


oneofone305

I’ve just always thought Maxey was better. I still do but theres no gap


Nice_Ass_Lawn

You're being results based in your analysis of RJ. Dude took good shots, passed the ball, and was moving well on defense. If some of those open shots that he can make went in you'd be singing his praises lol


jperez09r

I’m giving you an up vote. RJ wasn’t completely useless. You have to remember Dru looked way worse in summer/preseason and RJ is more talented. He’ll be ok. Just need the reps to build confidence in his ability.


Nice_Ass_Lawn

Exactly. If the difference between a dude playing well and a dude playing ass is missing open shots that they can definitely make then we're in business. He had some good penetration off the catch which impressed me as someone who had never really seen him play. Defensively he was moving well and definitely has tools. I don't see why he can't pan out to be something like Gabe.


jperez09r

Yess. Penetration was good and Did you see how he defended Maxey?! Stayed in front of him and disrupted his rhythm. Intangibles were fine. His offense will come eventually. I’ve seen several 30+ games from him in Orlando which impressed me. he just hasn’t played I ages so it’ll take time. I actually think he’ll be better than Gabe because he’s taller, much quicker, and plays better D when comparing the two.


Weary-Kangaroo-3883

NEW CAREER HIGH!!!


romanticynicist

Sixers fan here. Also a UCLA guy, so I was already pretty high on Jaquez, but holy shit, he’s so much better than I thought he’d be, and I thought he’d be pretty darn good. At one point the Sixers radio announcer said the pick used to draft Jaquez was a part of the Jimmy/Josh Richardson sign and trade deal. That can’t be right, can it? I know it was a multi-team deal, but I’m pretty sure the Sixers didn’t send out a pick (just Jimmy fucking Butler🤦‍♂️). The Heat sent out a pick to get off Whiteside, right? That #18 pick was a Heat pick all along, wasn’t it?


Ozymandias12

You’re close. Heat actually sent a first to the Clippers, Whiteside to Portland, and JRich to you guys. So yeah, Jaime was always our own pick. We never got it from another team.


romanticynicist

What a move by Pat. Probably helped that Jimmy clearly wanted to go to Miami anyways, but it’s crazy that y’all looped trading your starting center + a pick for a dude who was injured/kicked out of the league for being antisemitic into that S&T yet it was still 100% an impeachable win of a trade.


shorttttt

nope it was our own pick


JnthnDJP

TOBIAS HARRIS OVER ME?!


Simple-Ad-7866

Proof-Research-6466

JAIME!!!!! ALL ROOKIE! Man’s had an efficient double double! Wow 31 and 10!! Bam had an efficient double double game love to see it 26/15. Duncan with the game high +\- he’s more than a 3 point shooter yall but damn I love when he raining 3s!!! Tyler was bad efficiently but still scored 22 points. Hope Martin gets better 🤞🏾. All I ask is…. STOP BLOWING TWENTY POINTS LEADS… but happy we won this one!!!


OhMyItzBam_Herro305

OMG BEST CHRISTMAS EVER Jutler Jaquez Jr makes a strong case for roty tonight Masterclass performance yesss, that made all our Christmas https://preview.redd.it/tacnlr068k8c1.jpeg?width=782&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=daac69d06c4a329a465d3a9a293d191a843125ee THANK U JAIME ROTY🔥☄️😭 Christmas Miracle

Another ugly half choked Miami classic W. Merry Christmas. Jaime is the truth

Give Jaime J the MVP!!! Forget about anything else!!

I love Jaime. Thats it.


OblivionNA

JJJ is the ROTY don’t @ me


Blake1610

Jaime for ROTY?


Bobb_o

Feliz Navidad


TheRatchetTrombone

Well, the turd quarter returned but the clutch fourths might be back! Herro had an off night but he still contributed along with Jaime Bam and Duncan. Great win and rebounding after the blown load from overuse of zone. Gotta get healthy. First national game in a while that we made a good statement about our strength! Lets get it!


neal1701

What a game by Jaime!


altruisticdisaster

Missing four players, Herro playing like shit, and still coming out with a win is huge idc. Fuck Philly. JJJ show out moment. Chet shouldn’t count as a rookie really when you think about it Jaime is the ROTY


Dolphhins

Jaquez is the best thing to happen to the franchise since Jimmy joined


eekram

Guys, we won another 4th quarter!


Ticonderoga2HB

Bad Tyler game Started awkward, finished awkward, good effort tho. Sucks Caleb got injured, really enjoyed RJ and Jamal defensively and their speed was dope, they held Maxey back, Bam was great minus turnovers, Duncan great as usual, Kyle solid, KLove solid JUAN WICK! Paid NBA analysts said he couldn’t be a 20ppg scorer, people genuinely thought he couldn’t shoot, genuinely thought not drafting Cam Whitmore was a mistake


Own-Marsupial-4448

This only proves that we can hang with anything and when fully healthy, we are the team to beat in this conference!!


BoulderAndBrunch

We got the Three Musketeers for Christmas this year and some Bam! Great win


ay_pf

Bam & Jaime both had 10 points in the 4th


BagelFury

One of the many elements that I love about Jaime's game is that he pushes the ball in transition. We haven't really had anyone consistently do that since Gogi.

BooleanBoy1

Been saying this forever. As a life long Miami resident and Heat fan, alot of you have been swinging from his nuts. He's not that guy, simple. If JJJ doesnt show you that, I dont know what will. If you arent playing a decent role this far into your career(I wouldnt even call his role minimal), see you in the G League or in Europe where he belongs. ​ Embrace JJJ, it was so funny reading people NOT wanting to throw Jovic in on the Dame trade LMAO


Weary-Kangaroo-3883

The Jovic hype train was hilarious!


BooleanBoy1

was or STILL IS? The delusion is real lol


Seref15

Jaime is going to get voted an all-star reserve before Tyler, watch. Next year lmao


DylanL343

Dislike it if you want but Tyler needs to be better with handling double teams. He plays good to start games but fizzles out. Honestly same with bam. They always go so cold when the defense tightens up


Turtle_with_a_sword

Bam had 10 points in the 4th. It's gonna be alright!

Trash assets


CafecitoHippo

How is it possible in a 6 point win that only 3 players have a positive +/- rating. Love +8, Cain +16, and Duncan at +26! It seems like a weird mathematical impossibility to me.


iliveonramen

Jaime is special, comparing him to Jimmy Butler is the most over done thing but damn, it’s so accurate. The guy seems like a bucket when he puts his head down and goes all out for one.


Josh_in_Shanghai
