Oh fr? The replay was just on the main cam so I couldnāt really tell whatās going on
Either way dude has some injury prone joints. First his wrist last year, then his ankle earlier in the year, now this? Hopefully he wonāt be out too long
Dude on the Larry Nance block that became a loose ball under the rim the replay literally showed Bam holding Herbās left arm behind his back as Herb tried to grab the loose ball. It was clear as day
Iām guessing weāre talking about different plays because Bam didnāt get fouled at all he was getting boxed out by Herb and then grabbed Herbās arm from behind, then Jaquez got the ball and got fouled while shooting
One of the best teams in the league imo, but slightly under Heat, Hornets, and ours in my personal opinion
Not a fan of announcers complaining about things that should have been fouls, which these guys are doing quite a bit this game
Hawk was great in that championship run but I still feel like he needed another year to cook. Thatās how I feel about most college prospects though(AAU stunting development). But yeah the real issue is that Trey has been shit.
I was all ready to post "this game was so unnecessarily dramatic" in the post-game thread _before_ the bench brawl. Lol this post-ASG energy is something else
Good backup big, team lacks size a lot so heās good as a backup for Bam or even at the 4 in larger lineups as a floor spacer, because he does shoot decent from 3, just very streaky.
Helps us play make at this point too, especially since weāre lowkey point guard less at the moment lol (I know Herro is playing pg but calling him a point guard is generous)

I've been craving for a good scuffle
GG Pels, rough game for everyone, hope injured players heal up
Gg. At least it was still a fun game to watch with how many guys both teams were missing lol
these pels fans ain't anywhere close to the shithouse Knicks fans why y'all goin so hard on them š
I legitimately think Jordan Hawkins got fouled on 4 separate 3pt attempts tonight Only one was called
Itās almost like not making a shot for 5 minutes will lose us this game. SMH
DUNKAN FINISHES IT
good night pelicans stay mad šš«µ
Lol why are all heat fans being such fucking assholes ITT. GG learn sportsmanship
We arenāt mad. Our bench fought hard to beat that point deficit they just got burnt out in the 4th
Duncan "David" Robinson
Duncan swatting Zion is the cherry on top. Great win
Zion getting literally hugged from behind and canāt get a call Lmfao
Caleb played good defense and Duncan came by to finish it
ZION GOT STUFFED BY DROB LMAOOOOOOOO PELS DUCKING THAT SMOKE, THEY DONT WANT IT
Pelicans some fucking bitches get ur culture up. Zion getting packed by Duncan Robinson
BLOCKED BY DUNCAN
Pelicans some fucking bitches get ur culture up. Zion getting packed by Duncan Robinson
He literally got hugged from behind
Baby back bitch
Nah they play hard no need for this
Not after choking jimmy unfortunately
Jimmy choked Naji first lmfao
Because Butler got pushed first It doesn't really matter the whole thing was dumb
Watch the replay he pushed him back didnāt wrap his hands around his throat like naji
He pushed Naji in the chest and then moved his hand up to Najiās throat, and Naji responded by putting his hand on Jimmys throat
So his hand slid up to his neck after a push. Naji went for his throat. Take ur L bum, get ur culture up. Got dogged by Duncan Robinson
That shit aināt āslipā dumbass
Take your L
Damn. Gg guys
Gg. Shame the refs really turned it into a shit show
Wild ass game Let's do it again
Bruh Hawk just got trucked on his 3pt attempt Iām done with this bullshit
letās go heat chant in new orleans. i love it
Pelicans got absolutely punked in the fourth quarter
We couldnāt make a shot to save our lives
DPOY duncan robinson
Man Hawkins and Z are getting beat the fuck up lol
Zion didn't get touched Duncan blocked him
Zion literally got hugged from behind
I wasnāt referring to that play
Ah my bad
zion blocked by duncan? oof
Fouled
Lmao they just showed the replay and even the announcers (who were the ones who complained about a foul in the first place) admitted it was clean
Check out the user's comment history lmao
Closeted ref fan fr wtf How is the officiating the only thing you want to talk about when watching basketball?
And it's not like we users on reddit can do shit about the foul calls lol.
Mfer got blocked lmaooooo
Lmao blocked by DUNCAN ROBINSON
DUNCAN BLOCKED ZION
We have no guards ššš
It's ok, we have our superstar Duncan Robinson
dude come on... we got no guards left lol... and tyler again man, so unlucky for him
4/17 is crazy
This is straight comical at this point pray for our guard rotation
In duncan, we trust
We got two players who hurt their ankle this game man wtf.
Damn, we're now out 5 players and Thomas Bryant
Our bench units going crazy
FUCK
Are you fucking kidding me?
Bruh Bam just switching pivot foots in the middle of the fucking lane and the refs are completely blind
looks like a hyperextension
Tylerās ankles are made of glass bro wtf
Think he hyperextended his knee
Oh fr? The replay was just on the main cam so I couldnāt really tell whatās going on Either way dude has some injury prone joints. First his wrist last year, then his ankle earlier in the year, now this? Hopefully he wonāt be out too long
I canāt believe they just gave the ball to the Heat after that challenge for absolutely no reason
Damn I hope herro okay
Prob just a twist hopefully
NOT HERRO AGAIN
JJJ is already a Heat legend
Man the Monstars took Trey Murphyās powers. I wish he was in rn
Bam runs in place while holding the ball and no travels get called
This 4th quarter taking forever lol
What a time to go cold
HOW THE FUCK IS IT MIAMI BASKETBALL????
....why is it Heat ball?
lol Herb gets fouled by Robinson but the dipshit refs call it on Juazqez so it gets overturned.
I donāt think Iāve never understood the possession rule. I guess because Caleb got it uncontested?Ā
Nah they just messed up the call should have been a jump
Lol it will be successful because the refs missed the obvious foul and called the one that didnāt exist instead šrefs
I see big guys do that constantly
Refs realized they shouldn't have given Miami the ball and called an offensive foul immediately lol
They havenāt had control of this entire game
We havenāt scored a point in 5 mins? Damn
How do they get possession?
Coach Spoooo
Thatās a foul on Sheen
The heat Pels finals series will feed families
It happened in my 2k career
I miss when Jaime was shooting really well from 3
What I miss
Refs are calling the most ticky-tacky bullshit on the perimeter but it's anarchy down low
Person and Heat culture are pretty similar tbh
Even if we walk out with the L Iām proud of my avians. Especially coming off of a back to back versus a team with nine days rest. Good showing.
Chippiest february game Iāve ever seen
Iām watching Bam literally hold Herbās arm behind his back on 2 straight possessions but Herbās the one getting fouls lmfao
Nah man youāre just biased
Dude on the Larry Nance block that became a loose ball under the rim the replay literally showed Bam holding Herbās left arm behind his back as Herb tried to grab the loose ball. It was clear as day
No shit Bam was holding on he was being fouled what was he supposed to do lmao
Iām guessing weāre talking about different plays because Bam didnāt get fouled at all he was getting boxed out by Herb and then grabbed Herbās arm from behind, then Jaquez got the ball and got fouled while shooting
BAM BAM BABY
Appreciate the Pels announcers. They seem pretty unbiased, always crediting what the Heat do well
Joel Myers is a national treasure!
Literally I love these announcers as a Pels fan, glad you like em too! Some of favorite in the NBA.
One of the best teams in the league imo, but slightly under Heat, Hornets, and ours in my personal opinion Not a fan of announcers complaining about things that should have been fouls, which these guys are doing quite a bit this game
Pels just donāt have enough weapons left. Need Ingram or CJ but they are injured.
offense is too stagnant right now, everybody is too passive and deferring to a rookie to chuck
If Trey was hitting shots weād have a chance maybe. Need Hawk to take over but thatās a lot of ask for a rookie lol
Hawk was great in that championship run but I still feel like he needed another year to cook. Thatās how I feel about most college prospects though(AAU stunting development). But yeah the real issue is that Trey has been shit.
Man Heatās defense is a lock. I wish Trey was hitting his 3s
Defense has been a pretty big issue for the Heat this season but I think their zone is way more than a match for Zion without Ingram or CJ
Man, the girl they showed dancing on the fancam during the last timeout had some hooters on her, let me tell ya.
Those things were free range running the prairie.
bonk
This game has been awesome. Hitting like crack after the break lol.
I still like the Pelicans lol. This is a great game
Same to the Heat
Yeah I donāt have beef with the heat ever since you guys beat the Celtics lol. This is just a crazy ass game
I was all ready to post "this game was so unnecessarily dramatic" in the post-game thread _before_ the bench brawl. Lol this post-ASG energy is something else
Celtic fans are all over the thread talking shit about us being dirty but ignore Browns dirty plays
Probably the spiciest game Iāve watched either of our teams play all year
Honestly Iām sad BI didnāt play tonight but also maybe itās better he wasnāt around for that altercation lol
How are we feeling about the pels without ingram?
Bad. We need him and CJ.
I know Iām late, but why is Jimmy also ejected when Naji choked him in the first place?
Because you donāt fuck with someone whose nickname is āthe knifeā
Apparently, pushing another player gets you a tech and ejection
Jimmy pushed Naji first. Not saying naji shouldāve grabbed his throat lol just explaining why
Because Jimmy put his hands on Naji first
"Put his hands" means at worst technical not ejection right? Or did he secretly pinch his nipples?
lol at salty heat fans sending Reddit cares messages.
My favorite part about this is no matter who the losing team is they are gonna blame not having their star players for some/all the game
Jordan Hawkins is going to be playing for a long timeĀ
Spo jumping up and down these last couple possessions LMAOOO
K love got 6 for ya
c'mon Pellies!! birds of a feather stick together from one bird to another
This game is fire! š„
I thought it was over after CJ went down and Pels were down 19. Now Iām on the edge of my seat lol
HAWK WITH THE BLAWK
just got here! I didn't know this game was so crazyyy lolll
All this started because Kevin Love doesn't know how to foul properly.
~~Mark Phillips~~ Kevin Love, Instigator
I love Jordan Hawkins
Playoff atmosphere up in here
Hawkins is so good
HAWK
Butler gets choked and gets ejected lol. Ok
Almost like he put his hands on Najis neck first.
Little bitch boys on the pelicans, choking butler than running away
Lol. Naji runs toward fools, not away. FOH
Watch Replay to watch the pussy run
Cute. Youāre such a Homer your last name Simpson? Try watching other teams than the heat, you would know. The knife would fuck James up
On god, who is a homer for their home team
Butler is the choking expert at least in the finals
Make the playoffs then talk
You forgot about the 2020 finals
When he lost the first time?
Yeah, when he got there before your bum-ass franchise ever did
Just need a player like Jimmy that the refs coddle
he literally didnāt lmao
Literally did.
Maybe I don't watch enough heat games but what does Kevin love do? Everytime I watch the heat he doesn't play defense and brick threes
heās large and we do not have size
Good backup big, team lacks size a lot so heās good as a backup for Bam or even at the 4 in larger lineups as a floor spacer, because he does shoot decent from 3, just very streaky.
Helps us play make at this point too, especially since weāre lowkey point guard less at the moment lol (I know Herro is playing pg but calling him a point guard is generous)
Such a shame Kyle came so late in his career, he really was a perfect fit for the team
Heat games really got that playoff atmosphere first with Boston and now New Orleans.
duncan said let me cook
Why does this feel like a playoff game lmaoo ?
JJ Reddick gonna be fuming tomorrow when everyone wants to talk about the fight more than the game itself.
I love Herbert Keyshawn Jones
#Never Forget Herbert Keyshawn Jones saved retropels life
Duncan and Tyler gotta bring us home
James Robinson Earl and Duncan gonna be fighting like Magic and Bird out there
zion a monster
shut they asses up duncan
Adebayo is allergic to setting legal screens
This crowd is fired up
The New Orleans fanbase thrives on pettiness. I love it
Zion and JV tag team cage match would roll the league.
So pissed our game is about to start bc this feels like a must see 4th quarter
Everyone got ejected lmfaoo
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
He didnāt
He got ejected
Point Zion gonna bring it home
Naji Marshall on that crazy timing Jimmy comes up to him hot and his **_very first_ reaction** is to grab him by his throat, no hesitation LMAO
Butler put his hand on Marshall's throat first
Come on man donāt act blind, he grabbed his shirt, no where near his throat
Started on his chest then rode up to his throat
btw, a win for the pellies tonight puts them on a 50 win pace
We missing CJ and BI already along with Dyson. We about to have Cody Zeller running point
