God knows Bam really needed that game

Kzgoated | Heat

24 | 14 hours ago

Bam with that single man run in the 4th was amazing to watch.

Key_Waltz_823

13 straight including 2 3’s and a long corner 2. Unreal performance.

heat_fan_ | Raptors

20 | 14 hours ago

Bam, Powell, Herro all balled out

Hope Booker isn’t a serious injury

fireglz | Hawks

19 | 14 hours ago

Hope Book is okay.

onelegonedream | Grizzlies

18 | 14 hours ago

He played 39 mins and closed out the game fyi

shaad20 | Suns

Could very well swell up later night, plus they have to get on a plane to go to Detroit so that won’t help

drpepper7557 | Heat

4 | 14 hours ago

He only missed like 3 minutes of game time. Came right back in after stretching his foot

BryanFair | PHX

16 | 14 hours ago

We were destined to win this game until that 13-0 run by ADD DA MAYO, boi why did he become Curry? Thats illegal. Oh well, I hope Book is okay, to the next game.

sounds like those Suns announcers dont know what an altercation is… well, at least when it involves one of their guys getting hit with a technical

judah249 | West

A game I wished the refs didn’t get so involved in just let the players play man

clear831 | Heat

Fuck those refs, wow

shaad20 | Suns

6 | 14 hours ago

There’s no shame in losing to the Heat. They brought it tonight and deserved to win.

Absolutely embarrassing effort from Phoenix tonight though in the first half. Uncharacteristically low energy and effort the entire team. Guessing Miami night life got them.

Glad they got back into it but they dug themselves too big of a hole. Really that’s the story of the game.

I did not see Booker’s injury so won’t comment on that.

But a team with Allen, Booker, and Brooks on it is impossible for me to get behind, and all three of them showed it tonight.

Amazed Brooks’ tech on Powell and game-losing flagrant on Wiggins haven’t been posted yet.

Devilsbullet | Heat

I’m amazed book didn’t get tossed

Candid_Sand_398 | Heat

Just glad Heat came away with the win. They deserved it.

Hope Mitchell is okay. Hope Booker is okay too.

Bam was on one, it was beautiful to witness. Shout out to Jaime, he was doing all the right things out there and set up many of those late clutch shots.

IsThisMe8 | Warriors

I hate Dillon Brooks. I’ve never seen an offensive foul like what he did to Wiggs and could have injured him.

KindSpectacle | Heat

1 | 12 hours ago

I like the intensity Brooks brings but not when he’s trying to hurt people. Can’t believe he didn’t get a second tech for that. He deserved to be tossed.

Aggrokid

Kelel Ware not a starter? Was he injured or just not a great fit with Bam?

Durantula420 | Suns

Miami fans here real classy, and I appreciate it. GG.

AidesAcrossAmerica | Heat

Brooks is such a dick he makes Grayson Allen almost seem tolerable.

Devilsbullet | Heat

-4 | 14 hours ago

Suns might be the dirtiest team in the league. Neither booker nor Brooks should have finished that game

OculusBlurr | PHO

10 | 14 hours ago

Brooks I understand but Booker how.

shaad20 | Suns

11 | 14 hours ago

It’s just the spider man meme when we play teams with a similar mentality.

They take exception to the physicality our team plays with, ignoring their own. And vice versa with our fanbase.

I didn’t see anything dirty by either side tonight. Just two physical teams, being inconsistently allowed to play physically with each other due to the inconsistent whistle.

F______________F | Heat

3 | 12 hours ago

Everyone except for Brooks I agree with, but he was 100% playing dirty. He tried to shove Powell when they were falling which is why he got the technical and Powell was so pissed off, and he kicked his leg into Wiggins and pulled him down by the shoulder on the same play which is why he got a flagrant. He kinda whiffed on the shove on Powell but it was obvious what he was trying to do hence the tech. The one on Wiggins genuinely could have hurt him.

He always does that extra shit like hitting Curry in the chest, idk how he can be seen as not being dirty when he consistently intentionally pushes, pulls, and hits players after a play is over.

clear831 | Heat

-4 | 14 hours ago

The 2nd hip check into Pelle wasnt a basketball play at all… They even waived to review it and the other ref was like naw. I dont hate Booker either

Candid_Sand_398 | Heat

-4 | 14 hours ago

Shoot, I really like Booker. Cheered my ass off for him in the olympics. He was a little punkish tonight.

Devilsbullet | Heat

-8 | 14 hours ago

The shove on larsson, which if it has happened right after the foul i would have been ok with, soft push right after the whistle is meh. Not so much when you hang on to him for 3 seconds, let him go, then go back after him to shove him. and then dropping a shoulder to ram him blindside on a rebound with 0 attempt to go after the rebound like 2 plays later, dirty ass play. One of the refs wanted to review it, the head ref waved him off.

shaad20 | Suns

6 | 14 hours ago

Larsson clearly flopped on that second play after the tech, trying to get Book his second one. The refs used common sense in not reviewing it, they saw it unfold.

The first play never should’ve been a tech to begin with, it was just a little shove by both guys. Call a foul and keep playing.

You’re heavily exaggerating every one of those incidents.

Devilsbullet | Heat

4 | 14 hours ago

You’ve been listening to your announcers waaaaay too much

Critical-Room1608

2 | 12 hours ago

Surely if you agree with the booker tech you also think Larsson should have gotten a tech then?

Devilsbullet | Heat

2 | 11 hours ago

For taking a slow motion shot while booker hung on to his arm? Like seriously, show me a clip of what larsson did. I’ve asked that a few times now and been met with silence

Candid_Sand_398 | Heat

-4 | 14 hours ago

It was a shoulder shrug straight into him. He moved over to make the hit. I’m fine with a no call but it was clearly intentional lol

shaad20 | Suns

1 | 14 hours ago

I mostly replied to OP because of the context he was trying to frame it in, as if Booker was being dirty trying to hurt guys or something. I don’t think that play or the light shove (in response to a shove from larsson) fit that criteria. We see that stuff all the time.

To me it just felt like a physical game and neither team was going to back down, both sides were giving as good as they got. Pretty much what you’d expect when you put these two teams together.

Candid_Sand_398 | Heat

3 | 14 hours ago

I mean, I for the most part agree. I don’t even mind Brooks in general. He plays with an edge and most teams would probably like to have him.

But pulling at Wiggs arm like that could have injured him. That just seemed reckless. And it was more Booker’s attitude that annoyed me, complaining after every shot. Like - he’s better than that.

Pelle did not shove Book. Watch the replay. Book hooked him (that’s why he was called for the foul) and he pulled his arm loose to shoot. He was fouled, then shoved.

Devilsbullet | Heat

4 | 14 hours ago

Book hooked him and held on to him from the 3 point line almost to the paint and then got mad pelle still put up the shot in slow mo lol

Candid_Sand_398 | Heat

1 | 13 hours ago

Yup.

Devilsbullet | Heat

2 | 14 hours ago

Please show the replay of the larsson shove on that possession. I would like to see it

judah249 | West

2 | 14 hours ago

While your boys Jacquez and Larrson were just doing nothing wrong?

Devilsbullet | Heat

7 | 14 hours ago

Jacquez… Yelling? Larsson… Going slow mo into a shot while booker held on to him? Would love to see a clip of what exactly they did that was even on the level of books push lol

Candid_Sand_398 | Heat

3 | 14 hours ago

Booker cheap shot to Larsson was uncalled for. Jaime let Book know, did not touch him and they call a double technical. lol.

clear831 | Heat

-3 | 14 hours ago

Add Hart to that team and its the dirtiest team in the league.
