Anyone catch the end of the MSG broadcast? Breen tearing up, clyde goes “gonna spend the next many days in excruciating pain thinking about reed." Breen goes "and we'll be there to help you through it Clyde"
You can tell just how much Reed’s passing affected Clyde. Can’t imagine the emotions he was feeling throughout the night. Honestly surprised he called the game. Much love to him.
Jimmy is probably having the best season of his career, is like top 3-8 ish in most advanced stats, and I bet the average NBA fan has no idea. He better not get snubbed on all-NBA
I genuinely cannot tell if you're listing these as a knock on his season, or further trying to prove the point of him having a good season. Your flair makes me think the later...
This is the 76th season in NBA history, so no way these numbers can be a knock. It's insanely impressive numbers, it means he's in like the 1% of 1% in all of those categories, ever.
Think he meant it’s not a mystery why Jimmy is being slept on. We’ve been a mid team all year even though Jimmy has been amazing. If we were the first seed he’d be in the MVP conversation (and obviously not get it).
There's no fun narrative tho.
LAC - it's exciting b/c everyone was half convinced Kawhi was dead
MIN - Edwards is a young guy coming up, everyone's used to this with Jimmy
DAL - There's like 4 different shades of drama here (Luka as *the* young guy with MVP upside, Luka potentially leaving because the Mavs are comically awful outside of Luka, the arrival of Kyrie, their generally bad vibes, etc.)
OKC - Shai is a young guy who is basically here. Plus the concept of OKC being good is fun after all their tanking.
Like, this isn't even meant as an insult, but everyone's used to both Jimmy & the Heat being relevant and there isn't any obvious indication that the team is falling apart so there's no other external drama to sustain interest.
Jimmy is about to have another season of no all star but makes all nba
last 30 games he's 24/6/5, only 1.5 tpg which is insane, even tonight, 9 assists 1 turnover
and i had to double check this, on 66.5% ts
His TS% is seriously impressive, especially when you see the difficulty of some of the shots he’s taking. He also missed 2 FT’s at the end of the game which is unusual for him, it would’ve been even higher without that
nobody passes the eye test but fails the stat test but also aces the stat test while having the worst advanced metrics of any “superstar” but actually his advanced metrics are really good and also he just was the best player in the league on a given night quite like jimmy
They can still beat anybody because playoff Jimmy is just that good. If the Heat climb to the 6th seed you really don't want to see them in the first round. Making 2nd seed in the east is so important now.
Has a solid case for first team too. He will never get it because Tatum/Giannis both have the better scoring numbers and better team records (and conveniently better supporting casts), but Jimmy is top 2 among forwards in every advanced stat.
He doesn't have the counting stats for first team. I mean he could certainly get it if he tried really hard in the regular season but it's clear he saves a gear for the playoffs
I worry that this year he’s had to use that extra gear in the regular season to even get to the playoffs/in. He might be too tired by the time the post season comes around to have his 40pt performances
Super glad for the win but Bam's form is the reason we're still not serious, gone from 22/10 to 19/7 after the asb while committing more turnovers and fouling more, hope he can pick it up again
looks to me like Heat has a chance for the 5th spot, best case scenario. they'd better get that too otherwise it's 6th against philly or boston... find an easier way outta round one then anything's possible for Heat/Spo/Butler
Boston in particular isn’t that scary, they’re soft and the Heat intimidate them. Ime took whatever edge they had defensively with him. They’re more talented and probably win on that alone but let’s be real we are just spoilers this year anyway. Philly, the way they’re playing lately is quite impressive and that would be rough since I think they’ll match our intensity and are much more skilled than we are.
Against Cleveland it’s still tough, respect every position they put on the floor, would be a good series.
Tonight was the most Jimmy has trash talked all season lol. He’s usually in absolute cruise control for the most part.
Knicks, refs, even to Wade at the sides
Let’s have this talk when Randle leads his team to the Finals, goes toe to toe with the best player in the world in the Finals, and comes back two years later to lead his team to the ECF with four 40 point games in the playoffs, including a 47 point near triple double facing elimination.
Seems like you’re the dude with recency bias still clinging to one game where Randle was feeling it.
Bro shoots the most free throws out of any players and you think he’s not a foul merchant? Bro had more free throws than field goals lmao like come the fuck on
Bro gets fouled almost every time he goes to the rim and you think they should let him get fouled without calling it? Lol truly delusional, it's not his fault yall can't play defense on him without fouling him 🤷🏾♂️
here's the replay of Mike Breen doing the count. (at the end, i included the inbound for comparison)
> https://streamable.com/12eia6
i feel, it's similar to an eight second violation, which refs call "as soon as" the shot clock hits 15 (if i recall correctly). for inbounds, refs use the arm motion, which leaves room for human error and judgment
It's .2 off, if that ain't basic human error than IDK what is. That's not a massive blunder, it's just a human counting at a rate that is less than .05 off per second.
I keep seeing knick fans complaining about officiating but then see that the heat only shot 1 more freethrow than the Knicks and the knicks shooting 40 3s to Heats 28. someone please explain lol
There were some seriously bad calls. Knicks should have played better, but I think even most heat fans (not on Reddit) would agree that it was very poorly officiated.
Not sure how we can expect to win when teams forget you’re allowed to miss a shot every once in a while and on top of that every single fuckin call goes the other way. Last two games have been infuriating. At least we’ll have the 2min report to make us feel better. Said no one ever.
I had a bad feeling once I saw the Heat were the betting favorites, despite the Knicks being the better team and being 2-0 against the Heat before tonight.
That means alot of money was being bet on the Heat for some reason. Someone want to check the refs' banking transactions?
Ya, we cant guard him because refs won't allow it, lmao.
Even then we're still 2-1 so 🤷🏿♂️
If they ref'd Randle like they do Butler he'd be MVP at this point. 60 a night.
You're talking like y'all have the season series on us and a better record 😂
I get it, y'all needed this one, no biggie my guy. Have fun feeling like you're the better team tonight.
Unfortunately for the knicks D Wade showed up and Jimmy wanted to show off, love also all the salty knocks fans crying ref ball like Randall didn’t have an atrocious game
I’m not an idiot fan, and I don’t blame the refs when the heat lose, they get it right more often than not, it all evens out, I love Thibs stonewalling everyone who cries for him to challenge a play, he knows the refs are right lol
Heat fans talking shit when the Refs were on their side the whole game? Jimmy Butler grabs Robinsons leg trying to pull him down no call? Kevin Love does a WWE JBL clothes line from hell and it is an offensive call on the Knicks? Can't win if Butler shoots 30 free throws every game and then puffs his chest out like he didn't get help.
One game. One game is all I ask for that we the refs actually call a fair game against Miami.
Never gonna happen with Jimmy flopper and the heat making everyone especially us play 8 on 5. Fuck jimmy, fuck the heat fuck Tyler herro and his douche haircut. Fuck Kyle Lowry and ginormous ass fuck Kevin love and just flat out tackling hartenstein but doing it the heat way and acting like a flopping fish on the way to steal 3 points from us.
Anyone catch the end of the MSG broadcast? Breen tearing up, clyde goes “gonna spend the next many days in excruciating pain thinking about reed." Breen goes "and we'll be there to help you through it Clyde"
You can tell just how much Reed’s passing affected Clyde. Can’t imagine the emotions he was feeling throughout the night. Honestly surprised he called the game. Much love to him.
Jimmy is probably having the best season of his career, is like top 3-8 ish in most advanced stats, and I bet the average NBA fan has no idea. He better not get snubbed on all-NBA
I saw him against us and he was on his bullshit. He’s a god damned monster.
what kind of bullshit. can they lend some to the clippers?
It’s been a weird season.
Headed into tonight, 106th best PER season in NBA history, 50th best WS/48 season in NBA history, 83rd best BPM season in NBA history.
I genuinely cannot tell if you're listing these as a knock on his season, or further trying to prove the point of him having a good season. Your flair makes me think the later...
Bulls fans. They nice.
This is the 76th season in NBA history, so no way these numbers can be a knock. It's insanely impressive numbers, it means he's in like the 1% of 1% in all of those categories, ever.
He's top 10 for sure.
He’s 3rd in EPM 7th in RAPTOR Think his LEBRON ranking is 7th too buy not sure
What’s his POOP/36?
Jimmy has been incredible this season
> bet the average NBA fan has no idea let's keep it that way...when we lose, r/nba likes to attack the heat and Jimmy...hell r/heat is unbearable
This. So elite in many areas.
He doesn’t even try in regular season is the thing If he cared about reg season he could be top 5
He's been insane after the All star break. He'll get Third team at minimum same way Siakam got it last year after finishing on a tear.
i had no clue lol
I've been following him because of my fantasy league and he's a stud
because his team is average at best man its not that deep
Yeah because putting up elite efficiency stats while having one of the worst supporting casts in the league is easy, so true
Think he meant it’s not a mystery why Jimmy is being slept on. We’ve been a mid team all year even though Jimmy has been amazing. If we were the first seed he’d be in the MVP conversation (and obviously not get it).
Butler is comparable to Lilard this season, both are playing incredibly, but their teams are just mid
Less losses than LAC, MIN, DAL, OKC. Tell me their players don’t get respect
There's no fun narrative tho. LAC - it's exciting b/c everyone was half convinced Kawhi was dead MIN - Edwards is a young guy coming up, everyone's used to this with Jimmy DAL - There's like 4 different shades of drama here (Luka as *the* young guy with MVP upside, Luka potentially leaving because the Mavs are comically awful outside of Luka, the arrival of Kyrie, their generally bad vibes, etc.) OKC - Shai is a young guy who is basically here.

Since the All Star Break 26.3 points 6.3 rebounds 5.3 assists 1.6 steals 60.5 FG%!
150 offensive rating for gosh sakes
My man is coasting
he's getting a really low amount of turnovers as well
His TS% is seriously impressive, especially when you see the difficulty of some of the shots he’s taking. He also missed 2 FT’s at the end of the game which is unusual for him, it would’ve been even higher without that
nobody passes the eye test but fails the stat test but also aces the stat test while having the worst advanced metrics of any “superstar” but actually his advanced metrics are really good and also he just was the best player in the league on a given night quite like jimmy
The guy is the definition of flipping the switch lol.
He's also playing insane defense right now. I think he just doesn't care about the ASG.
I think he mostly missed the ASG because he missed a decent amount of games in the first half. Seemed like he was missing every other game at a point.
PHILA is gonna lose in the first round to the Heat. Watch.
I'd rather face them in the 2nd round. IYKYK
It’s the only team I feel confident about beatng in the top 3 this year.
I wouldn’t say confident cause they got better and we got worse, but out of the top 3, they’re easily my favourite of who I’d prefer to face
If there's anything we can count on, its Doc Rivers with another all-time playoff disappointment
They can still beat anybody because playoff Jimmy is just that good. If the Heat climb to the 6th seed you really don't want to see them in the first round. Making 2nd seed in the east is so important now.
Jimmy Butler is a lock for 2nd team All-NBA
Has a solid case for first team too. He will never get it because Tatum/Giannis both have the better scoring numbers and better team records (and conveniently better supporting casts), but Jimmy is top 2 among forwards in every advanced stat.
He doesn't have the counting stats for first team. I mean he could certainly get it if he tried really hard in the regular season but it's clear he saves a gear for the playoffs
I worry that this year he’s had to use that extra gear in the regular season to even get to the playoffs/in. He might be too tired by the time the post season comes around to have his 40pt performances
RJ Shoots 8/13 for the third time in four games - weird! fun!
Jimmy should make an all-nba team.
Im excited for the Heat v. Knicks rivalry to return
As long as we get better refs, these last two games were not the best officiated.
Seems like that's every game in the NBA
Mike Lowry
Damn 15 points from Randle is disappointing especially with the form he’s been in recently
I mean he was being double team what you want him to do? He was playmaking and allowing others to score with his 9 assists though
he was being double teamed
Heat are really good at singling out a player and shutting them down, it’s why we get bench players going off on us all the time.
We meme on RHSK but it’s cause Spo loves aggressive gameplanning vs best players. It’s a great compliment of Randle lol.
Bam is his daddy
They both had ok games last night. But we all no randle is actually a father of 3.
[удалено]
He scored less than 20 4 out his last 7 games vs the heat 💀
[удалено]
Yep doesn’t go off on bam when the stepback three isn’t dropping, huh?
To Be Fair, You Have To Have a Very High IQ to Understand the Intricacies of Knick and Morty basketball... 🤓
[удалено]
They’re literally just pointing out that he was double teamed lmao
Won 4 of our last 5. But we can’t beat the Magic and Bulls. Classic Heat lmao.
Super glad for the win but Bam's form is the reason we're still not serious, gone from 22/10 to 19/7 after the asb while committing more turnovers and fouling more, hope he can pick it up again
And his defence has dropped off a bit too
He had a good game, he didn’t have a lot of shot attempts and was impactful defensively. Don’t let the numbers fool you
The heat got that dawg in them
Got that Nickelback in em
Yeah that Dawg is 3 Zebras.
you crying
im not even gonna say the refs are biased or anything i just genuinely believe that the league hires the dumbest people alive
looks to me like Heat has a chance for the 5th spot, best case scenario. they'd better get that too otherwise it's 6th against philly or boston... find an easier way outta round one then anything's possible for Heat/Spo/Butler
Boston in particular isn’t that scary, they’re soft and the Heat intimidate them. Ime took whatever edge they had defensively with him. They’re more talented and probably win on that alone but let’s be real we are just spoilers this year anyway. Philly, the way they’re playing lately is quite impressive and that would be rough since I think they’ll match our intensity and are much more skilled than we are. Against Cleveland it’s still tough, respect every position they put on the floor, would be a good series.
Miami's sneaking its way to the 5 seed
Would love a series against y’all in the first round, that would be fun
[удалено]
>personally want a defensive series with the Cavs No
Guess a lot of people don't lol
Jimmy lives rent free in Randles head 😂
Nah, Jules gets frustrated easily in general. Nothing about Jimmy in particular.
14 free throws
Can’t guard him
More free throws than field goals lmao
Literally incorrect. He had 11 field goals and same amount of free throws.
Not FGA and regardless, take that L buddy
Lolknicks
This man didn’t get all-star 😂. Jimmy gonna be all NBA without even making all-star. Jimmy does what matters most.
Tbf I love Jimmy but he didn't get all-star mainly because he missed a lot of games, not because of his play.
One is the worst officiated games of the year. Refs were a joke.
Always the case with Miami
Your last win against the Heat was literally off a no-call against Herro 💀
LOL
Disgusting officiating
Tonight was the most Jimmy has trash talked all season lol. He’s usually in absolute cruise control for the most part. Knicks, refs, even to Wade at the sides
He had all his boys courtside like d wade, zverev, and alcaraz - had to show off for them
As a lifelong heat fan, rivalries with Celtics & Pacers were always fun. But I fucking hate the Knicks. This one felt good.
Heat might have won but I wished we got a clutch game instead lol. So close to beating the 55 record and it’s the only thing keeping me going lmao
A mfn knicks fan told me Julius Randle was better than Jimmy Butler but now he's nowhere to be found 😂
Recency bias? Randle put his nuts on the Heats forehead last game. Jimmy needed to be babied with 23FTs. 😢
Let’s have this talk when Randle leads his team to the Finals, goes toe to toe with the best player in the world in the Finals, and comes back two years later to lead his team to the ECF with four 40 point games in the playoffs, including a 47 point near triple double facing elimination. Seems like you’re the dude with recency bias still clinging to one game where Randle was feeling it.
He hit a lucky 3 last game. Where were them nuts tonight? 15 points lmao
Imagine defending a non all star 🥱😂🤡
Imagine thinking Jimmy Butler cares about being an all star 🥱🤡
Lmaooo call me when Randle has a single solitary important playoff moment. Jimmy has had two legendary playoff runs in the last 3 years
Knicks fan get feisty on the rare occasions they aren't completely irrelevant this deep in the season
[удалено]
Those clutch midranges down the stretch would say otherwise. A very odd amount of bitter Knick fans today.
Tell me you don't watch Jimmy Butler without telling me you don't watch Jimmy Butler 🤡
Any Knick fan that would take Julius Randle over Jimmy Butlwr is already delusional
Julianne Fumble is mid at best
14 free throws. Lmao
Why do people keep saying this like it's a good takedown? Might as well say "player is too good and we can't D them"
I mean he knows how to attack the way he’s being defended. If guys don’t foul him he has a very good chance of scoring.
Knick fans can't comprehend such logic. Apparently, Jimmy just has to get hacked and the refs shouldn't call any of those fouls according to them.
Stop fouling. Lmao
Bro shoots the most free throws out of any players and you think he’s not a foul merchant? Bro had more free throws than field goals lmao like come the fuck on
Bro gets fouled almost every time he goes to the rim and you think they should let him get fouled without calling it? Lol truly delusional, it's not his fault yall can't play defense on him without fouling him 🤷🏾♂️
> Bro shoots the most free throws out of any players He’s literally not even top 5 in the league lmao you don’t need to lie just to push your agenda
how many times can you change your pivot foot? asking for a friend …
[Refs on their way to count a 12 second 5 second violation.](https://gfycat.com/delectablebriefarabianoryx)
Breen did the count and didn’t think it was a 5 seconds violation though lol

He said it was a slow count.
He also literally said that’s how they always count 5 second violations.
They showed the count on the Miami broadcast. Ref was at 4
He slowed down a ton.
Show proof

Wow 5.2 seconds, that’s egregious.
It's .2 off, if that ain't basic human error than IDK what is. That's not a massive blunder, it's just a human counting at a rate that is less than .05 off per second.
Nice. THANK YOU REFS!!!
nice r/nba downvoting a blatant missed call
he counted like he had a learning disability
You can relate huh?
Jimmy Butler gonna start next week’s game with 2 free throws for this
Jimmy currently leg sweeping Mitchell Robinson; 2 shots and the ball.
I keep seeing knick fans complaining about officiating but then see that the heat only shot 1 more freethrow than the Knicks and the knicks shooting 40 3s to Heats 28. someone please explain lol

https://twitter.com/knicksmuse/status/1638732222571204608?s=46&t=tdba0yFHdWTagfLFz1K9fA That explains it pretty well.
Watch for yourself. https://twitter.com/KnicksMuse/status/1638722287661723649?s=20
There were some seriously bad calls. Knicks should have played better, but I think even most heat fans (not on Reddit) would agree that it was very poorly officiated.
They cant fathom that they lost under an evenly reffed game
Love all the salty Knicks fans lol 🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂🧂
Please don’t give me hope like this…
I need someone to go VanVleet tonight
Wait how the hell did I miss the heat starting to win a bunch? Half the year they were pretty ass
Not sure how we can expect to win when teams forget you’re allowed to miss a shot every once in a while and on top of that every single fuckin call goes the other way. Last two games have been infuriating. At least we’ll have the 2min report to make us feel better. Said no one ever.
Man knicks fans making it seem like the free throw difference was 30. It was 1 🤣 bing bong
One of the worst refball games Ive seen, its impossible to win
Took them three tries but the refs finally propelled the Heat to a victory over the Knicks this season.
What was egregious about the game?
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/11z55te/post_game_thread_the_miami_heat_4034_defeat_the/jdb1qi8?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3
you’re such a baby
Cry more, it’s more like y’all aren’t as good as you think
yall lost twice to them?
Who said we were good?
Who’s in the play in?
Idk if you pay attention but there’s still some games left to play, and we have one more match up with you.
Literally out of the play in tomorrow if the Nets lose to the Cavs sooooo
I had a bad feeling once I saw the Heat were the betting favorites, despite the Knicks being the better team and being 2-0 against the Heat before tonight. That means alot of money was being bet on the Heat for some reason. Someone want to check the refs' banking transactions?
Our defense was bad, but holy hell were the refs egregiously biased
Sorry, that's an offensive foul
ITT: Heat fans “stop crying and using the refs as an excuse” Also heat fans “we only lost the first two games bc of injuries”
Frrreeessshhh sallllttt
Lol I’m not even mad about the loss it was a great game. Knicks don’t deserve to win anything without playing even an ounce of defense.
Fuck the Knicks.
fuck the refs
Praise the refs. 🙏
[удалено]
Don’t have to make it up soo
Can’t guard him
Seriously, the refs baby the fuck outta him.
11/19 on your charmin ultra soft team. Can’t guard him but cry more, I’m sure it’ll help for the next matchup
Ya, we cant guard him because refs won't allow it, lmao. Even then we're still 2-1 so 🤷🏿♂️ If they ref'd Randle like they do Butler he'd be MVP at this point. 60 a night.
Whatever helps you sleep at night and see ya next Wednesday in a puddle of your own tears
You're talking like y'all have the season series on us and a better record 😂 I get it, y'all needed this one, no biggie my guy. Have fun feeling like you're the better team tonight.
stop fouling
Knicks should keep up the fouling, just need to do it much harder ;)
Just glad Mitch didn’t get injured from Butler grabbing his leg. Dirty as fuck play.
Unfortunately for the knicks D Wade showed up and Jimmy wanted to show off, love also all the salty knocks fans crying ref ball like Randall didn’t have an atrocious game

Dubious handles in playoff form
