They should have talked this segment if the Heat lose. ESPN and the national media never really gives credit to the Heat this season. They just talked about the opposing team, on how they lose to the Heat. Give us Bally Sports for coverage in these next playoff games of the Heat.

Olidipo came through the heat smothered the hawks all series but Jimmy butler missing a playoff game because of knee inflammation and that’s the topic of the discussion im telling you if the heat win the championship the team that they face will be the ones that are talked about and what they could have done differently and not about Miami

Lmao this has got to be a joke. Barely talk about the Heat at all and the only thing you can focus on is if Butler should have sat out. Unbelievable

First off, you brought up a Willis Reed in a Championship game versus a game the Heat have destroyed for a first round game. Terrible take. And clearly the Heat handled it easily. Sorry you lost money last night cause that’s what this is all about ????????♂️

This dude is only on the show to bring out Stephen A reactions. Miami has been playing with guys in and out the lineup all year and was up 3-1 heading back home against an 8th seed. Just another segment of reaching for narratives

Mad dog pisses me off almost as much as skip Bayless. I mean at least mad dog actually has basketball knowledge unlike skip. But mad dog just compares every player of today to the players of yester-year. Stop doing that. It’s a different league, different rules, different players. I don’t mind as much when he talks about late 80’s-90’s players. But when he talks about 50’s, 60’s, 70’s players? Cmon now. Those dudes had part time jobs outside of the leageu

Im not. Jimmy wasnt worried. Neither was kyle. They knew they’d beat hawks without them. Miami been playing without them off and on all year. Nothing new

ESPN played the post game that Heat won by Depth and yet your “ANALyst” complains about Jimmy not playing.

Bruh it’s a first round series you’re up 3-1 and against the lowest seed, yet Russo compared it to Bird vs the Lakers in the Finals smh what is this

And Isaiah in the finals. In an example where Isaiah playing through injury was actually a detriment to the team and they LOST in the finals
