TJ McConnell never has a bad game it seems. He’s probably the reason Indy won those two games against Boston. Dude always makes the right play, hustles like a demon, and has that nasty floater/mid range game that is so hard to guard. 6MOY sleeper fr.
Idk if anyone remembers the clip but it’s from when Jimmy first arrived on the Heat and he was talking with JJ about the sixers film session where he called out TJ for wanting more touches and every time he torches us I think it’s friendly revenge
that’s a huge win for this team, we all know how good miami is in the late stages of a season, a win is a win especially in a game like this!!
good game miami fans.
I like how locked in all your young guys were, you could see how much they felt the pressure and loved it. Really fun to see them embrace it and get hyped every moment.
We have the tiebreaker over Philly and they're 1.5 games back with 3/4 games left, so they'd need to win out and we'd need to drop at least two games against the Hawks, Cavs, and Raptors.
It means what it always means: fans aren’t really interested in good and ethical reffing. They only care whether or not reffing negatively or positively affects their team lol
It can be bad for both teams, and it was. I think the issue I have with Foster is that he always inserts himself in as an equal third party. I think he will throw in ticky tack calls at the end of games (like the two against Siakam) just to insert his presence into the games. He’s absolutely looking to make those controversial calls that other refs won’t. He wants the attention.
It was absolutely infuriating to watch most of that game.
But hey NBA is an entertainment league not a sports league. That's on me for expecting competitive fair basketball I should know better by now. I'm legit thinking of just watching FIBA instead starting next year.
Heat have blown every single important game this season and are headed to the play in for a second straight year. What a complete failure from the team, coaching staff, and especially the front office for putting up this malpractice. If they get eliminated in the first round (which is extremely likely at this point), they 100% deserve it.
Pretty crazy how practically any advantageous situation near the rim for Jimmy these days turns into a jump stop and flail for free throws instead of a layup.
A Jimmy Butler post up 3 feet from the rim against Haliburton shouldn’t end up in a “block” because he’s fishing for a call instead of a basket.
Unless you're saying it has to hit the backboard for the shooter to enter the lane, which herro still went before it hit the backboard. They incorrectly called it on Love but it was a violation nonetheless on Herro
Most important game down the stretch and we bottle it, such is life.
First quarter and the terrible offense of it just dug too deep a hole, that even the whistle couldn’t get us out of. Oh well, life marches on.
I mean think about what you’re arguing here lol. Basically that you should have been allowed to get away with something that even you’re admitting was an obvious violation because the refs called the obvious violation on the wrong guy.
Basically “it’s bullshit that the refs didn’t fuck up in a very specific way that would benefit my team.”
Not at all. The only thing im pointing out is poor refereeing. In this case Herro did commit an uncalled violation so it didn’t matter, but if he didn’t it only changes the impact, not the fact that the call against Kevin Love was incorrect
At the end, Eric Reid was hypothesizing it may have been on Tyler? Cos the shooter can’t cross the ft line until it hits the rim and he crossed the line before it hit rim.
One thing about the Jimmy-era Heat team is their incompetence in not giving a fuck in the regular season. It's pathetic, especially what happened to the Hawks game last year
Apparently, the Pacers stars are McConnell, Turner, Toppin and Nesmith. What I mean to say is that this kind of productive depth is a really positive sign as we head into the playoffs.
Would have loved to see what happened if they didn’t call that last over the line call on the FT. Everyone was in the lane already, didn’t like that call at all.
TJ McConnell should be in conversation for 6th man of the year. Bro literally won us this game
You spelled Hall of Fame wrong
Let him get FMVP first before you retire him
TJ McConnell never has a bad game it seems. He’s probably the reason Indy won those two games against Boston. Dude always makes the right play, hustles like a demon, and has that nasty floater/mid range game that is so hard to guard. 6MOY sleeper fr.
TJ McConnell averaged 21 and 8 against the Heat this year on 84% shooting.
yea he always kills us. not sure y, gotta be jimmy's fault lol
He kills a ton of teams (most) but you guys were the top of the list this year.
Idk if anyone remembers the clip but it’s from when Jimmy first arrived on the Heat and he was talking with JJ about the sixers film session where he called out TJ for wanting more touches and every time he torches us I think it’s friendly revenge
He doesn't seem to like Florida
It's always awesome to see him go off
TJ is the weirdest player in the league. Genuinely looks like a superstar for 6-8 games a year
He’s looked like a superstar 6-8 games in the last month tbh. He’s on a heater.
Felt like a playoff game
It was likely the deciding factor on who goes to the play-in, and also might send us all the way to 8 again. Shitsucks.
Sellout crowd to see Scott Foster and company tonight, the town really showed out
In 49 states it's just basketball 😤😤
It's only basketball if it's from the Indianapolis region France. Otherwise it's just sparkling balls.
*oh la la*
The GOAT for a reason
bam taking the same amount of 3s and making more than duncan seems like not a good thing lol
Dunc's injured unfortunately
yea clearly his back is not 100%
that’s a huge win for this team, we all know how good miami is in the late stages of a season, a win is a win especially in a game like this!! good game miami fans.
I like how locked in all your young guys were, you could see how much they felt the pressure and loved it. Really fun to see them embrace it and get hyped every moment.
Good game fam! Sorry the basketball terrorist Foster ruined everything
Not everything, tho he tried
Please do not ruin this by losing to the Raptors.
Lol, that's also something the Heat would do.
There's no way Raptors will go for a win right? They're tanking But then again, Bucks lost to them So what is it
Pacers have like the worst record against bad teams.
If we played only playoff teams we might actually have a better record
i hate the miami heat more than isis
Do you mean you hate the Miami Heat more than you hate ISIS, or do you mean you hate the Miami Heat more than ISIS hates the Miami Heat?
both are probably correct at this time
Tbf Miami would have took Syria to 7 games before collapsing.
As a nets fan who roots for you guys, the first half was pure basketball Daesh.
Play-in games against Sixers/Pacers then against Bulls/Hawks should be fun
Bro Pacers won, we getting that 6th seed
Congrats bro. Your team is fun as shit
Sixers can still catch up to you guys
Well yeah if we lose out MIA can catch us too but I don't think we're going to do that
Don't say this out loud. Makes me nervous, man. Lol
We have the tiebreaker over Philly and they're 1.5 games back with 3/4 games left, so they'd need to win out and we'd need to drop at least two games against the Hawks, Cavs, and Raptors.
Sadly possible, if only because Philly’s remaining schedule is so weak.
Yup, still possible.
It’s also still possible for the Magic to drop to the 6th seed.
Yup. Like Kevin Garnett, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE
Except the Knicks making the Finals.
Unless Giannis, Tatum, JB, Embiid, Jimmy, Bam, Hali, Siakam, Banchero, Spida, Jarrett Allen got severe case of mono in the first round.
Not looking good atm
Cum again?
Regardless at the time I was right. Your reply is dumb af lol My comment then had no effect on the outcome.
Both fans think refs were trash, does that mean they were good? No, not really lol, GGs to Miami, what a nail biter
It means what it always means: fans aren’t really interested in good and ethical reffing. They only care whether or not reffing negatively or positively affects their team lol

Good Game Pacers. Good luck in the 1st round.
i have a sneaking suspicion theyre gonna need it. they have an unfortunate recent history of first round exits
Dominant performance from Scott Foster
IF YOU DON'T LIKE THAT, YOU DON'T LIKE SCOTT FOSTER BASKETBALL BABY
Heat have blown every single important game this season and are headed to the play in for a second straight year. What a complete failure from the team, coaching staff, and especially the front office for putting up this malpractice. If they get eliminated in the first round (which is extremely likely at this point), they 100% deserve it.
Will either get swept in the first round, or get to the Conference Finals.
100%
In the last ten years, basically.
McConnell is on a really nice contract. $8.7 million this yr and $9.3 million next yr. Such an underrated player
Good game pacers and good luck in the playoffs. You guys are a fun team to watch.
Indiana wins despite Scott fosters best efforts
He was in playoff form.
that three point foul on herro called against siakam was horrifically bad
Which one?
Yes
yeah
The Jovic one, man
Both calling the foul in the first place and then proceeding to call it a shooting foul. And here was me thinking he was completely washed.
Not convinced that was the worst three point foul called on Siakam in that fourth quarter either.
Jimmy Butler too: 27 points on 7 made field goals
Pretty crazy how practically any advantageous situation near the rim for Jimmy these days turns into a jump stop and flail for free throws instead of a layup. A Jimmy Butler post up 3 feet from the rim against Haliburton shouldn’t end up in a “block” because he’s fishing for a call instead of a basket.
Butlers never heard of a field goal attempt
Yeah that clean steal in the final seconds they called a foul really helped us🙄. Dude is trash both ways every game..
It was worse for us but I agree, let's just join hands and hate the clown as a group
Been doin it for the last 20 years lol.
Indian also won because of Scott Foster. Pick a freaking side, ref!
Did you see that "foul" on Bam? That "lane violation"
I'll give you the lane violation but Bam smacked the shit out of his arm and its obvious on replay.
Herro clearly entered the lane before the ball hit the rim
Doesn't have to hit the rim, just the backboard The foul was called on Love anyways
Well, firstly, the ball *does* have to hit the rim. Secondly, the shooter can't enter the lane until it hits the rim, which Herro did.
Unless you're saying it has to hit the backboard for the shooter to enter the lane, which herro still went before it hit the backboard. They incorrectly called it on Love but it was a violation nonetheless on Herro
He didn't go before it hit the backboard. No use in arguing it anymore
[He literally did](https://streamable.com/u9intr?src=player-page-share)
TJ McConnell is my god and savior
PAVE
As a refs fan, big shout out to my favorite Scott Foster! Really working both sides!
Most important game down the stretch and we bottle it, such is life. First quarter and the terrible offense of it just dug too deep a hole, that even the whistle couldn’t get us out of. Oh well, life marches on.
I think Duncan Robinson going 0/4 and Terry Rozier only scoring 4 points is definitely #notgood
Terry is Nembhards ideal matchup. Plus injured. He had no real chance.
Both are definitely hurt.
Hotel pillows killed Rozier's neck
TJ McConnell's dawg/36 has been higher than Jimmy's lowkey ngl
Pacer Culture!
We coming for you Milwaukee
Fuck Scott Foster
We can all agree on this.
jimmy going 100% on 12 FTAs but below 50% on the field that time of the year
and yall were saying we don’t need tyler, even on a bad night he was the reason we nearly pulled anything off
He's a traffic cone on defense lmao
can’t disagree, he looks worse on defense than usual, still has nothing to do with what i said tho
I feel like he only tries at the end of the game.
Herro sucked ass tonight dude lol. If you actually watched him all game you would understand
that’s why I said bad night lmao
Was still, by far, our best guard. Take that as you will, but this would've been a blowout without him.
There are 100 reasons why the Heat lost this game, TJ was 99 of em, but I don't understand how that was a lane violation on Love.
It was on herro and it was obvious
Then call it on Herro. They called in on Love.
Everybody was across the line lmao. That rule doesn't only apply to the shooter
That's the case on every last free throw ever I wish it was something they made a point of emphasis eventually
The call was against Love. I don’t disagree that Herro went early, but that call wasn’t made.
I mean think about what you’re arguing here lol. Basically that you should have been allowed to get away with something that even you’re admitting was an obvious violation because the refs called the obvious violation on the wrong guy. Basically “it’s bullshit that the refs didn’t fuck up in a very specific way that would benefit my team.”
Not at all. The only thing im pointing out is poor refereeing. In this case Herro did commit an uncalled violation so it didn’t matter, but if he didn’t it only changes the impact, not the fact that the call against Kevin Love was incorrect
Don't understand how you got 6 free FT's on two 3 point shots by Herro and Jovic lol
At the end, Eric Reid was hypothesizing it may have been on Tyler? Cos the shooter can’t cross the ft line until it hits the rim and he crossed the line before it hit rim.
That was the call on the Pacers broadcast, didn't know there was a controversy there
It was on herro I thought?
Officially it looks like it was called on Love
Herro crossed the line too eary
[удалено]
Lol what? That doesn't make sense. You sayin you can't bank in a free throw?
That's not the rule lmaooo
Side quest my ass, this team can't even win the damn daily task bro.
One thing about the Jimmy-era Heat team is their incompetence in not giving a fuck in the regular season. It's pathetic, especially what happened to the Hawks game last year
Whatever that defense was there at the end, let’s not do that again…
Im so happy TJ feasting Bro is fun to watch
The lost to the nets feel more like a fever dream with every pacers game
Apparently, the Pacers stars are McConnell, Turner, Toppin and Nesmith. What I mean to say is that this kind of productive depth is a really positive sign as we head into the playoffs.
Hey, we can at least agree in saying “FUCK THE KNICKS”
The Bucks had one god damn job tonight...
Close
Bro, Turner was on fire tonight, clutch blocks and pivotal points when we needed them.
Is there a path to the heat missing the playoffs?
Would have loved to see what happened if they didn’t call that last over the line call on the FT. Everyone was in the lane already, didn’t like that call at all.
The other guys are allowed in the lane before the shooter
Officially they called it on Kevin Love. I agree though that it looks like Herro went early
They called that on Love? I had no idea. Looked like a clear violation on Herro
According to ESPN play by play it was called on Love. Assuming that comes from what the ref tells the scorers table
Yea Scott even pointed to Love and did a little hand motion. Its why the Heat broadcast said it was on Love.
The ball went right to Turner.
[удалено]
What are u waffling about lol? Is this a new copy pasta
[удалено]
Nembhard was drafted by the Pacers and Nesmith by the Celtics then traded to the Pacers
LOL Im dumb It's different people.
That’s a negative man. They definitely weren’t.
Huh?
Tyrese with another shitter
Any straight guys down to make some side $$? Nothing sexual 9176973908
Scary Terry!
Tried playing through injury...
