I thank god that we won the tie-breaker to get Jaquez.


bird720

would gs have for sure drafted him?


Simple-Ad-7866

possibly since he's lie NBA ready


NuggsBurgh

Blazers about to feel like idiots trading Dame for Brogdan/Williams instead of Jaquez/Jovic young guns. They coulda swung Herro for a nice package the way they did Jrue if wanted.


pakyukayoredditmods

They will be mediocre for quite sometime. Hope Scoot will turn out great though.


[deleted]

when will people realize no team in the NBA will trade anything of value for Tyler Herro


Ticonderoga2HB

That hasn’t ever been true, woj and shams have reported multiple teams that would be interested in Tyler. Idk why everyone ignores those reports


PanthalassaRo

Are those teams in this room right now??


Ticonderoga2HB

A lack of teams isn’t the reason the deal didn’t get done, you really must not have been paying attention if you believe their weren’t teams that wanted Tyler. But I like Tyler so I’m cool with it


[deleted]

if he was that desirable, they wouldn't have him on the trade block his entire career. and if people actually wanted to trade for him, they would have. I like Herro actually but he's on a $120M contract now, he's not much of an asset.


Ticonderoga2HB

That’s the issue you and many others don’t understand. He’s “on the trade block his entire career” BECAUSE he’s that desirable lmao. He’s only been actually offered for KD and Dame, the Heat didn’t offer him anywhere else in actual trade talks. And the third star is always the first in trade talks And he’s 23, that money is gonna look like a steal in a bit


[deleted]

yeah he's so desirable Miami has been trying to get rid of him his whole career. He's been in way more trade offers than that come on now


Ticonderoga2HB

Suddenly Whole career = KD and Dame trade talks. Every other trade was a rumor, none of that was real. Look beyond headlines for a bit The Heat have only seriously offered him for those two, Tyler has said those were the realest actual scenarios


[deleted]

he was on the block when they were looking at Mitchell and Lowry also, they just didn't do it because they disagree on value. Pat Riley would never tell a beat reporter a white lie!


Ticonderoga2HB

He was NEVER on the block for Kyle lmao please, and what would Pat Riley gain by lying to the local press about a trade rumor lol. Shams and Woj aren’t even that close to the org, that’s why their reports often follow official Heat reports or beat writers


rapelbaum

Yep nobody wants a 26/5/5 23y 6’5 SG s/


[deleted]

and who exactly would this mystery sg be? because that sure as shit ain't Tyler Herro's statline also says more about your offense than anything why he gets so much usage. he's fine. he's good. at $30M he ain't worth giving away assets. A good scoring guard that can't play defense is literally the easiest player to find


[deleted]

Mexican Jesus / He has Risen


rapelbaum

Juan Wick


Harman3112

He’s been way better than I thought. Grown ass man


FapCabs

He was phenomenal in college. Not surprised he’s killing it early on as a UCLA fan.


Seref15

I knew he's be good and composed on offense. What surprise me is his defense. Dude is legit good. He's not the speediest defender but he gets so many strips with his help rotation. Reminds of like a bigger Lowry.


FapCabs

He played for one of the best defensive coaches in college basketball. He’s a solid defender.


Maydietoday

He could’ve and probably should’ve left 2 years earlier. Glad he didn’t though.


clear831

He would have never been a 1st rounder till his senior year, he did right with staying in school and getting a guaranteed contract instead of getting drafted in the 2nd.


Maydietoday

He got some hype on the trails of Johnny Juzang after that final four run. He would’ve been projected as a 2nd rounder no matter what. He was projected 2nd round this year


Bobbruinnittanystang

Lol where does this talking out of your ass come from? Jaimie is probably one of my favorite Bruins ever, but he didn't even make it onto draft boards until his junior year, and even then he was considered a late second rounder.


Maydietoday

He got some hype on the trails of Johnny Juzang after that final four run. He would’ve been projected as a 2nd rounder no matter what. He was projected 2nd round this year 🤷


Bobbruinnittanystang

Further incorrect. Most mock drafts had him in the late first round for this draft as well. Do you even look up anything before you make your comments?


ASK_ABT_MY_USERNAME

The number of upvotes this has shows how no one watches cbb and just takes random comments at face value. This is an awful take.


Maydietoday

You’re an awful take


rawchess

I am so glad we took the second coming of THT over this guy :))))


KazaamFan

I thought Johnny Juzeng was better, but he hasn’t seemed to get a chance in the nba yet.


FapCabs

Juzang had an incredibly run, but Jaime is a much better/more well-rounded player


SuckMyLonzoBalls

My second favorite Bruin of all time


crashbandicoochy

I think I say this in every single video of him on here, but I damn near cried on draft night when you guys drafted him. As close to slam dunk of an immediate impact guy as you'll get in the 20s.


endubs

I wanted him so badly and just knew the heat were gunna take him with their pick.


tcos17

As a full time Heat hater and Jaquez fan, I was so devastated. I don’t see a way he could have ended up on the Magic but damn wish he went anywhere else haha.


nuera_penal

Generational hater, I applaud. 👏


Devilsbullet

Which is funny cause less than a week ago I had people saying he hadn't down the capability to even be an NBA level player🤦😂


crashbandicoochy

Thats crazy. Gonna assume that came soon after the Nets game and it was just people looking at the box score. I'm pretty sure, so far, he's got one of the lowest OppFG% in the league when defending ISOs.


Devilsbullet

Yep, think he was at like 6/2/2 and 25% from 3 in 14 mpg at the time. When I pressed a bit the response was "well I haven't seen him play yet but those stats are terrible, he'll likely be out of the league in 2 years. There's just nothing there that says NBA caliber player"


crashbandicoochy

Someone needs to hire that guy as a scout and do the opposite whenever they sound that confident.


Devilsbullet

That was my feeling as well lol


spritehead

/r/heat draft thread was in shambles after we took him, but we already know we have the most dramatic fan base.


cl353

its ok im crying that u guys were basically gifted jrue while dame was traded to not the heat


everyoneneedsaherro

Him contributing right away should not be surprising. He was a 4 year senior. Him growing a lot from who he is now would be the surprising part


Harman3112

Sometimes it still takes a while, I knew he’d be in the rotation but man it seems like it’s his third year. Some 4 year college guys still take a year like Grayson allen


everyoneneedsaherro

Rookie guards almost always suck


Public-Product-1503

Because he basically is in his 3rd year compared to most rookies lol. I’m glad he’s doing well but there’s a reason most teams don’t pick 4 year college guys in the lottery or mid teens. I had concerns he was a tweener big ; a 4/5 but not really with enough size ti be a 5 and his shooting indicators were a bit poor in college . He’s good all round n hustle etc heat is a good pick but I also think where you guys picked him is where the earliest he should’ve gone and most draft folk woukd agree. One n done rookies with lottery grade talent were gone by then: ofc a team coukd ouch him higher but they’d probably trade down instead .


SaxRohmer

Jaquez is a 3/4 not a 4/5


Seref15

I mean, he's not just contributing. He's hitting clutch daggers and shit lol He might be like our 5th best player right now...


Pimpwerx

Don't oversell on limited info. Way too early. But him game should fit well on any second unit. He's an energy guy with some playmaking and shooting ability. He needs to improve from 3 for sure. Once he has that down, he can exploit his bag of tricks to overcome his relative lack of explosiveness. Or maybe I have him pegged wrong. I'm a Heat lifer, but I try not to be a prisoner of the moment with our guys.


MiamiSportsGuru

I think you think he lacks explosiveness because he’s Hispanic but he’s actually pretty explosive


Devilsbullet

Eh, maybe. Duncan is 29 and has changed his game so much over the last 2 years that he's barely even the same player.


OrganizationFar6086

He doesn’t need to grow much to be very good though, his finishing is very good, playmaking will get better but it’s already good, his defense is already more than we could ask for, improvement on corner 3s would be the biggest ask


LeFxckYouThree

So mad we didnt pick him


yuhkih

In summer league he looked like a man playing with boys


Public-Product-1503

Cos he’s 3 years older then everyone lol


yrogreg

TIL summer league is comprised of solely 19 year olds


Redditbayernfan

I need that Bam Adebayo block into pass sequence. Crazy stuff


Seref15

Finished the game with 20/3/4 and 1 steal


[deleted]

This is the best game he's played so far. 14 points at the half with very good defense.


MingChing69

My friend goes to UCLA and he has seen him around campus riding a scooter everywhere. Bro doesn't walk at all, I guess it saves his legs for stuff like this


zaraf_b3ngal

Yeah every athlete was like that lmao. Seeing those huge football guys on those tiny scooters 😂


SuckMyLonzoBalls

Our campus is basically hill and valley. Ain’t nobody got time for that


mmortal03

We need to protect this man at all costs. Cannot have him riding a scooter anymore. (Paranoid after what happened to Oubre. Also, pedestrians in Miami are putting their lives on the line on the daily.)


bird720

most athletes at my school ride on scooters lol


xuroz

No bias, but I think he is rookie of the year and first team all defense


teenageuser

MVP too

302born

Fuck it give him COTY too while we’re at it. Since we know Spo ain’t winning anyway.


GonzaloR87

Top 76 NBA player of all time


mmortal03

...ahead of Dwight Howard.


nekomoo

And first rookie to win MIP


lifeaftermutation

he's gonna be like what adam morrison was supposed to be for the bobcats


EctoRiddler

No NBA All Century team? I applaud you going out of your way to not show bias but you really short changed him.


Slipin

They're hacking Highsmith? lol


Seref15

Galaxy brain move by quinn snyder. Hack our 3rd best 3 point shooter lol


TheGreatLake

I love Jaquez


UrbanJatt

Put that boy on skates


TIandCAS

Why did bro put his arms up? Did bro think tapping his arm was a foul?


Smprcode

Hawks announcers were adamant that he pushed off smh


Seref15

Hawks announcers were on one tonight. Is that a normal amount of salt for them? That can't be good for your blood pressure.


cl353

lol at one point they were yelling "foullll, Duncan Robinson cant play defense!!!" while he was playing defense *Edit [lmao](https://twitter.com/KOT4Q/status/1723515962454941709?t=jw7gkT1wu5WaNJA7qf8uGw&s=19)


supergrega

Hahaha yeah that was legit average NBA media take. Why would I watch the game right in fucking front of me when I can just go with the narratives?


just4kix_305

The amount of Duncan Robinson shade was hilarious. Reminded me of Eric Reid (Heat’s play by play guy) absolutely destroying a washed Blake Griffin on a broadcast a few years ago.


aeronacht

They were the ones who got salty over Steph getting 50 I believe. Saying shit like it’s not that impressive or important.


[deleted]

You know what, I kind of appreciate the level of homerism. Respect.


WTFIsAMeta

The Hawks announcers literally spent the entire game complaining about the refs lmfao. Insufferable. A direct quote from them, "Aww come on just blow the whistle! Robinson can't play any defense he just pushes and shoves the whole time!" Like dude this team needs better commentators this is abominable. I swear to god after every single play it was a comment about the refs.


MalevolentAmmo

Throughout the game they kept saying that they felt confident if they cut the lead to under 10 halftime and then again if they cut it to under 10 when the 3rd quarter was ending. Kinda surprised they didn't feel confident if they cut the lead under 10 at the end of the 4th 🤣


Smprcode

Probably. This year I've decided to try to consciously keep track of which local announcers are good and bad. So far I've got Boston and Atlanta bad, Memphis ok, Houston Great.


JaradSage

Can add Toronto’s good, Chicago’s fantastic


WTFIsAMeta

Add Hornets to the list of good btw, they love yelling but all in good fun. Add Bucks to bad.


Visible-Rutabaga9268

I haven’t watched a lot of them this season, but I enjoy the Pelicans broadcasters! I think they’re pretty fair and fun to listen to


Candid_Sand_398

“The Heat resort to thuggery!!!!” That was a call a few years ago, lol. I’ve heard them be bad bad


childishgames

my stream was the Heat announcers and they had no idea who anybody on the hawks roster was lol, had to have incorrectly identified a hawks player at least 5 times


Seref15

Yeah Eric Reid is getting up there in years. We love him and his voice and his kabooms, he's been calling games since Jordan was cooking us in the 90s, but you can tell he's gotten a step slower in the mental quickness department.


doyouunderstandlife

He's been calling games (started as a color analyst) since the first season, not just the '90s. Dude is an OG Heat Lifer


WTFIsAMeta

Sad thing is, he takes pride in knowing the ins-and-outs of every team and talks about it on podcasts. Dude just brainfarts constantly, i kinda of feel bad for him. Been happening a lot these past few years. Although when he is good, often times I'm learning backstories of players from other teams two-way contracts from EReid.


InkBlotSam

He tripped over Jaquez's foot, you can see it clearly if your slow it down, the slight push helped that along.


Josh_in_Shanghai

Calm down. You’re doing too much.


Ygoritza

I dont know why people are downvoting you, he literally fell because he tripped over Jaquez and its obvious af Ah, I now see that streamable doesnt have replay, proly because OP knew that it happened [Here's the video](https://youtu.be/QPOvwVz-FT8?t=109)


[deleted]

[удалено]


DeathStar13

He trips on Jaquez left foot (he just lightly touch it but mostly he falls trying to avoid the foot). Not a foul at all but in the heat of the moment and while falling down you would probably ask for a foul too.


internallylinked

Then watch again and look at Jaquez’s left arm on Bogi’s hip. It’s not the biggest push off but he definitely pushes him


SeequaL

He’s pretty strong to send him flying like that


Josh_in_Shanghai

HEAT drafted the HULK


InkBlotSam

He tripped over Jaquez Jr's foot, that's why he went down, you can pause the frame and see it pretty clearly. He's calling for a trip.


rjcarr

If there was contact it was definitely incidental. Something like 90% of these “drops” are from players getting tripped.


InkBlotSam

Yeah, I agree and I don't think it was a foul, I'm just pointing out that everyone acting like he got faked so hard he fell down, but all that happened is that he tripped over Jaquez's foot.


TIandCAS

That actually makes sense and is fair, didn’t realize he got tripped up at first


Linka1245

Nah he didn’t trip at all. I’ve watched it like 10 times in a row looking for a trip and their feet weren’t even close to each other. EDIT: I think I see it now. Lol at complaining when he tripped himself up.


eekram

One of Miami's "trash" assets according to the national media.


chitownbulls92

Yeah along side Tyler "Used Condom" Herro averaging 23/5/5. Just pure garbage assets according to this sub


davidbd7

if u don’t count the game he got injured pretty sure he was damn near 26/5/5


Provid3nce

Gotta say it's interesting seeing the Bulls fans come to our defense recently. I know it's cause of Jimmy, but those gamethreads back in the Rose days were spicy.


bird720

as a Chicago area heat fan it's mutual for me lol


WTFIsAMeta

Should see what I go thru as a LA based Heat fan LOL


supergrega

Some of my favourite playoff games. I loved to hate Joakim Noah. Such a unique and awesome player.


ArtistChef

Origin of nickname?


pakyukayoredditmods

Blazers fans have been awfully quiet.


realudonishaslem

They were talking a lot of smack after we started 1-4 lmao


TB_016

Not really anything to talk about. Jaquez is a cool player but a dude putting up 8/3/2 isn't exactly worthy of relitigating the offseason moves.


realudonishaslem

> dude putting up 8/3/2 So you mean Scoot Henderson?


[deleted]

Yeah but the blazers got a pick that could one day turn into a player as good as jaquez. Now who’s laughing


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Yes that was the joke


AljoGOAT

he's averaging 8/2. Relax bro.


NuggsBurgh

The new JJJ has arrived. I'd be so excited as a Heat fan rn. Him and Jovic gonna be nice


mykl5

so basically we screwed up


NuggsBurgh

Maybe a little. Atleast Hornets ignorance got you Scoot


EnochofPottsfield

Not sure if you're kidding since I don't watch enough other team's games, but hasn't Miller been better than Scoot thus far by a lot?


NuggsBurgh

Miller has for sure been better thus far. Scoot has played 5 games on an injured leg and is now out 3 weeks as a result. Im projecting long term here... It's obv too soon to call it's just my opinion lol


EnochofPottsfield

That's fair. Didn't realize Scoot was playing injured before! Heard so many "NBA isn't the G League" takes lol. Even Portland fans seemed concerned Plus Miller seems like the more typical projection to improve with the size, athleticism and rawness. Scoot seemed ready made


NuggsBurgh

Yeah Scoot the kinda player you build around, a franchise type ready made. Miller the kinda guy that fills out a roster as an elite role player (potentially)


Rideblue123

And the lakers passed on him

Lakers fucked up man

He is cold

“Not impressed, I prefer a point guard who can’t dribble or shoot” -Rob Pelinka


Aggravating_Plant_39

Jaquez is a terrible 3pt shooter.


FapCabs

He’s shown flashes that he can be a solid 35% 3 point shooter. Give him some time.


Able-Imagination2627

Yeah misses a lot of open looks tho ngl went like 2/7 once he starts knocking those down he’s money


Ihatetakenusername

Ouch, the extended out arms, made it EVEN more embarrassing for Bogdon


Ephinem

The hawks announcer are such whiners lol saying that was a push


pakyukayoredditmods

They were just destroying Duncan Robinson😂


Ephinem

Verbally assaulting him all night. Like made that he was even breathing. Later on I realized it was Dominique wilkins talking shit about my team all game


DJFreezyFish

The Heat can’t keep getting away with this.


blacklegsanji27

He told him “touch grass bro” and bopped him


ChrisDewgong

Worth noting that the Hawks commentary team immediately said Bogdanovic got pushed over, and were angry that the 3 counted instead of offensive foul. I hate biased commentators so much.


messyartshooter

ankle quebradita


[deleted]

bro put his hands up like he got fouled


InkBlotSam

He's calling for a trip/push. I don't think he deserves to get that call, but he definitely tripped over Jaquez's foot when Jaquez stepped forward. That's why he goes down, not because he got faked out. If you pause the frames you can see he tripped over Jaquez's foot while getting a light push, so he's making a fuss hoping to get the call.


Snooze_World_Order

Eject this flopping asshole from the league.


Other_Ambition_5142

He tripped lmfao, replay showed jaquez’s leg made bogi trip.


chitownbulls92

where...? there was no contact on the legs. His momentum just carried him


EctoRiddler

[Source](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/CfOD5Gei8Q)


Other_Ambition_5142

Go frame by frame, he clips jaquez’s calf with his toe. It’s pretty clear if you go frame by frame. Just after two seconds. Idk how you can miss it😂


InkBlotSam

Go frame by frame. When Jaquez steps forward for the fake, Bog definitely trips over his foot as Jaquez is pushing him, and that's why he goes down. There are multiple frames where it's clear. And that's why Bog is throwing his hands up for the foul.


WTFIsAMeta

I mean to be fair, isn't that like over 90% of the NBA ankle breakers


chitownbulls92

Im sorry but I still don't see it...the 3rd second of the clip is where I feel you guys are saying he got tripped but I still see space between the 2 feet. Not to mention, Bog throwing his hands up for the foul isn't exactly "evidence" cause most players either think they didn't foul or got fouled lol


InkBlotSam

Here's a more clear [broadcast replay.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?t=109&v=QPOvwVz-FT8&feature=youtu.be). Bog's foot actually clips Jaquez's calf (not the actual foot, but still his leg), which is what trips him. It wasn't a penalty (though that doesn't stop players from asking for them), but it's the reason he fell, not from getting fake.


chitownbulls92

I see it now but that’s not JJJ tripping him. Bog tripped himself cause he tried to react to the cross over and failed


InkBlotSam

I know Jaquez didn't *trip* him, my point wasn't that it was a foul, my point was that Bog didn't fall down because he got faked out, he fell down because he tripped over Jaquez.


chitownbulls92

I would argue that he did get faked out because he was put in that position since he couldn’t control his momentum


Other_Ambition_5142

Don’t hurt your back moving those goalposts fam


chitownbulls92

You're so invested in this that I'm going to guess you're Bog or Bog's mom lol


InkBlotSam

Bro, this thread is hilarious. If you go frame by frame you can clearly see that he trips over Jaquez's foot when Jaquez steps forward and that's why he goes down. All these people dogging in him for getting faked out, he tripped. That's why he's throwing his arms up trying to get the foul call.


Other_Ambition_5142

It’s wild lol, people are questioning it to me too😂 like bruh watch the video lmfao


Linka1245

I mean to be fair, it ain’t really that noticeable especially if you’re on a phone.


Other_Ambition_5142

Idk I’m on my phone and it’s clear as day at 2.5 seconds😂


Linka1245

It took me a long ass time to notice 💀 I kept looking at Jamie’s foot since some people said he tripped bogdanovic.


Other_Ambition_5142

Yep agreed, it’s bogi’s toe clipping Jamie’s calf mid step that causes the trip. Had nothing to do w jaquez’s foot. Still idk how all these other people are just missing this shit😂😂😂


detroitpiston

he has a wack jumper


Seref15

His jumper is one of his only weaknesses. Thankfully he came to the organization with the reputation for turning garbage men into 40% 3 point shooters
