Yep, dude is a broken record too…promises wins every game and people seem to think it means something ignoring all the times he’s wrong, including that missed 3 he didn’t need to go for in 2022 when he failed under the pressure of the moment.

I guess a broken clock is right twice a day.

I’d say enjoy your off season Jimmy, but he probably won’t unless he gets more attention.

He clearly wasnt the same after the injury earlier

Maybe he needs to toughen up. He's been injured nearly every playoffs recently, it's become more the norm than the exception.

It’s crazy that idiots buy into him as if he’s a prophet of Basketball or something.

That 2023 series had a lot to do with unsuspecting guys like Struss and Vincent playing really well and hitting timely shots. Rather disingenuous to leave them out and treat yourself as the variable. Its also dangerous because they have a lot of fans that know nothing about basketball and keep this unsustainable hope alive. It’s dangerous for the franchise.

The Heat and their fans are so gassed.

We used to send those fools home on the regular in the 90's. They needed half our team to get suspended just to win a series against us. We used to spot them the division just to crush their souls in the playoffs.

If Dolan and Layden never happened to the Knicks the Heat wouldn't have won a damn thing.

If Mourning wasn't suspended in 1998, the Knicks would not have won that series. So go ahead and cry about your suspensions like it only happened to your team. It has been so long since the Knicks were relevant that most Heat fans don't even think about them as rivals anymore. It's ancient history. New fans have been born, grown up and have kids of their own and all they've ever known is an irrelevant Knicks franchise.

3-4 good playoff series in his career and people act like he’s something.

I’ve never seen someone live off his reputation from so little. Average regular season player, playoff stinkers littered across his career including 14ppg on 29% shooting only 3 seasons ago.

Guy talks like he’s all that. Fact is, Herro and Bam carried him to the finals in the bubble and Caleb Martin/Gabe Vincent saved his ass last season.

When at his best, he’s an amazing player but he’s only at his best like 5% - 10% of the season.

Bbbbbbut they were the 8th seed and made the finals. Well, they shouldn’t have been an 8th seed with that roster to start with. A year removed from being the 1 seed with no major changes.

No chance Miami was beating Boston or New York this season. None

None.

Instead of battling playoff teams Jimmy gona be battling to find his spare batteries when his TV remote dies :clown:

meanwhile the Cubans in Miami couldn't care less :lol:

Ewing owned Zo, especially head to head matchups... keep dreaming

Both warriors but Ewing was different... he was so dominant. One of my favorite battles. Always respected Zo for his heart & passion... tough nosed defender imagine them on the same team :o

Jimmy boy, oh Jimmy boy. You are right, but it does not make any difference at all. Both Boston and New York are ALREADY at home, awaiting their 2nd round games, while you, a sore loser (no pun intended) are also at home in south beach, waiting to see their games by looking at your tv.

Be better Jimmy, man up.

You mean 1998 when the 55-27 Heat took on the 43 and 39 Knicks? 1998 when Larry Johnson got suspended in that series too? Wait, did I mention 1998 was when Ewing was nursing a broken wrist and didn't even play in that series? :lol:

Forever our sons :lol:

Relevant :lol:..... News Flash: LeBron took his talents back to Cleveland 10 years ago.

Knicks are more relevant in your own building than the Heat are. Miami has always been MSG south :lol:

Enjoy the off season :naaa:

The only interesting thing the Knicks have done in Miami in 25 years was when Amare busted his hand on a fire extinguisher after a playoff loss. "MSG South" :lol:

The point being is Jimmy (and the media) love to push the narrative about him always being able to deliver when it matters most, here is just one example where he didn't. there are others.

Jimmy, just like other stars, even the really really good ones (which Jimmy is), miss just as much as they make. Tatum misses plenty but is also one of the highest efficiency scorers in playoff clutch last few seasons, but the narrative is he isn't.

Last season's final run for Heat was propelled as much if not more by hot 3 shooting streaks by role players. Jimmy had some massive games and some stinkers, just like Tatum for example.

Jimmy loves the attention and loves his bravado, it's sometimes worth respecting the belief he has in himself but often just comes off looking like a ****.

His best ever teammate he played with was Embiid.
Him returning to Philly is his best chance at winning that Elusive ring..

Can't imagine Pat's latest comments would have gone down too well witn Jimmy. Also apparently the ownership is very reluctant to give him a max extension.

A bitter divorce is definitely in play here between Jimmy and the Heat.
