He was pretty clutch last game. Every player has bad games...

Where’s Kira?!?! Lol

Bledsoe is so horrible.

He's not going to play.

SVG said before even game 1 that he plans his rotation to be 8 or 9 deep. Don't expect to see Kira, or NAW, or Wenyen Gabriel, or anyone else like that anytime soon.

Heat can hack and have moving screens with no calls.

Also, this lineup is NOT getting it done.

Big board by Adams

Bledsoe was really good against Toronto. Today he's really bad.

Bledsoe.

Sigh.

And that’s fine. But why not take him out!?!? Let Zo, Ingram, or NAW run the offense!!!

Come on Gundy!!!

Bledsoe should not be allowed to be on the court without Ingram and Zion both out there.

We're down 6 with 7 minutes left. It's doable, if we really put the pressure on defensively and we can get some solid offense.

Boy bled is having a ROUGH game. Let's see if he bounced back in future games. Let's not be so harsh on a few games and a limited training camp. Now if it's 20 games in and he's trash then it's something for sure.

I like the fight in this team last year they would have gave up

I want Ingram and Zion get a 60 combo happy meal comeback win

We have got to find better balance when BI is off the floor. We should not look this bad when he is out.

But I say let's put lonzo in and let him Ingram and Zion close the show now.

Because Ingram needs a rest, NAW is still in year 2, and Zo can't.

They drafted Kira but he's 19. Live with it and stop hoping upon hope.

Lucky to be down 6. Too many empty possessions; this lineup missed a chance to cut the lead even lower.

Unnecessary 3 point shot by Ingram.

CHALLENGE!!!!!!

Come on go to Adams in the paint with these small guys in there like we did in the 1st half

WHAT! It was half way in and he’s been amazing today...

Miami never gets called for a foul and these commentators are terrible.

CALL THE DANG FOUL!!

BI trying to do to much there

Zion back in soon please thank you

Game dagger

Came too early in the clock. We were down 6, had zero ball movement, and took an unnecessary shot. Ingram has played exceptionally but I don’t think that was a smart decision.

Do not like Lonzo 26 foot off-movement threes.

These officials have been a disgrace it must be said

Literal facepalm for me

It has gone from 91-85 to 96-85. I don’t understand the rotations and the early-clock 3s.

Hart with the awful footwork closing out, got completely turned around

Too much hero ball. Game over.

Good deflection by Lonzo

Lonzo wtf

Lonzo opts for the hook pass rather than the kick out or the laydown, and nothing's there

Refs did THIER job. Took all of our momentum away with the BS foul calls.

I wish lonzo would finish instead of trying to find zion

What the hell was that BI lmao

Yeah just as I thought. The backcourt needs an overhaul. Or just wait on Kira/NAW. Which I don't know if the FO will.

Should be a fun year nonetheless.

Very true. Officiating has been horrible. And what makes it worse is when the announcers go, “Heat player X with the reach him but good tenacity.” But then...”Ooh Zion is breathing on BAM, I think that should be a flagrant 2.”

Heat are a good team they don't take many bad shots and they really move the ball

Zion with a great first half and disappeared in the 2nd. without Butler in the 2nd half I thought for sure we were gonna pull this out cause I knew Miami wouldn’t be as hot from 3. Damn.

And I think SVG needs to be more willing to play NAW.

Him getting zero minutes is not justified based on preseason play.

I like the fight, but too little too late. Can't make a shot tonight either. But they're not winning this game.
