Duncan “Sampson Olajuwon” Robinson’s quest for a perfect free-throw shooting ended tonight, as he missed 1 of his 3 attempts, leaving him at 14 for 15 on the season. If there was a Twitch chat for this Heat game (which there probably was on one of those shady streaming sites), I’m sure it was flooded…

Tyler Herro 19 Points Full Highlights (11/29/2019)
Tyler Herro is a rarity: a mid first-round pick playing a big role for one of the better teams in the league. He’s not just playing a big role relative to the expectations of his draft placement; he’s scoring 15 per game for the Heat, and making as many or more shots than everyone else…
Read MoreBam Adebayo 17 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (11/27/2019)
I was all set to cease my highlight-making excursion with the P.J. Washington video that was uploaded prior to this one. The fact of Bam Adebayo’s 17-point, 8-assist was known to me, but I kept making excuses to myself so that I wouldn’t have to do it. “Oh, he had too many free throws.” “Nah,…
Read MoreKelly Olynyk 19 Points Full Highlights (11/27/2019)
How could roster-construction errors of such magnitude be allowed to happen? The amount of redundancy on the Heat roster is astounding. Kelly Olynyk and Meyers Leonard are the SAME player. They are literally, besides being two separate human beings (and one of them being Canadian), the same. Not only is it a waste of a…

A lot of people in my home state (which is Wisconsin, I’m not some filthy bandwagoner) were upset by Tyler Herro’s decision to decommit from the University of Wisconsin to play for Kentucky instead. So upset that they still hold a grudge even now that he’s in the NBA and doesn’t even get to choose…
Read MoreBam Adebayo 21 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (11/25/2019)
Most people would agree that Bam Adebayo has been more valuable to the Heat than Hassan Whiteside ever was in his later years with the team. I’ve taken the liberty of putting together a list to make their stark differences even starker: THINGS THAT HASSAN WHITESIDE DID THAT BAM ADEBAYO DOES NOT DO: -Not try…
Read MoreTyler Herro 18 Points Full Highlights (11/25/2019)
I really prefer it when rookies like Tyler Herro are on teams that aren’t playoff-caliber. Teams like the Heat. For one thing, they don’t even need Herro; they’ve got Duncan Robinson, and even if they didn’t, they’ve got more than an enough talent to get by without a sweet-shooting rookie helping them along. And for…
Read MoreTyler Herro 20 Points Full Highlights (11/23/2019)
Shooting is perhaps the most important NBA skill (besides the basics like breathing, running, and having a functioning nervous system), but just that alone won’t get you very far. There are some great pure shooters in the league, guys who can knock down just about any shot they want if they’re open, but they will…
Read MoreKendrick Nunn 21 Points Full Highlights (11/22/2019)
Kendrick “The Best And Most Famous Kendrick Of All Time” Nunn helped put the Bulls away early in this one, scoring 10 of the Heat’s first 15 points while the Bulls scored none. It was his way of showing the good people of Chicago (where he grew up) what they were missing out on. Since…
Read MoreTyler Herro 22 Points Full Highlights (11/20/2019)
How are the Heat doing so well? This is very upsetting to me, because I’ve spent the better part of two years ragging on them for signing a bunch of veteran role-players to huge contracts, putting a limit on the amount of in-house improvement they can hope to achieve as well as hamstringing their finances….
