The Miami Heat were without Jimmy Butler but that was no excuse for the lack of effort and execution in Tuesday night’s loss to the Toronto Raptors. Tyler Herro scored 33 points but few others stepped up and the Heat squandered a chance to gain ground for the No. 6 seed.
Wes Goldberg and David Ramil break down what happened, discuss why Butler was a late scratch and ask if the Heat have given up on the season before updating the Heat Culture Bracket.

The heat are an embarrassment to the nba Vincent & Martin are shifty bam playing like a baby strus is inconsistent Robinson is a liability yustervan. & Highsmith are a waste love is overweight Riley has let the Miami fans down get out rebounded every game blow this whole team up trade everyone except herro & butler
PJ Tucker was such a glue for us.
David, David, David this team is not good enough.
switched off at the culture bracket
I simply think it’s over, and it sucks but you know what? We had our chances. The nets and the raptors games were two very pivotal matches that were going to test the will of this heat team and they simply did not have it. Whether its fatigue or mental lapses at the end of the day it doesn’t matter what it is because we’ve seen this type of “on and off” effort all season long. At some point it doesn’t matter what is being said in the locker room after the game because it has already been said out on the floor. This summer will be huge for the front office and there are many decisions to consider. What I think everyone knows is that this same team will not be back next season, there will be change. The level of change will depend on the options that are presented but there will be change because not even Erik Spolestra has the answers to this team and he’s a damn good coach.
My God Bam have to do so much the guy just exhausted
David seriously worries me
Bam needs to go, he not a superstar. He got all his points after the game was a blowout
The best option is skip the playoff
Just keep Jimmy and Herro ! Trade everyone including Bam.
I love Bam but …… I remember that game Chris Bosh playing alone vs The Hawks. He show us what is a Star player. Bam is good but not a star in my opinion.
Let’s go Raps
This team is a mediocre team wake up.
Don't blame pat yeah right he put this team together even let the Lakers gm make better moves then we did
Is Dragic easy.!
If you think this team will turn it on in the playoffs lol you are better off wishing time can go back a second
You can’t blame Jimmy who is the only player who always shows up. The blame should be on all the players who played today. They are just so used to having Jimmy carry the team. Either with Jimmy or without him the team has shown lack of effort. The Heat is lucky to have Jimmy Buttler.
David this team is not good enough stop vouching or making it seem like the heat actually have chance to win championship this year.
The only way for the heat to salvage the jimmy butler window is either move on from our bad contracts fot quality players (unlikely) no.2 we have to hit on our mid to late draft picked
I miss pre-All-Star announcement Bam. He was such a great player!!! Uuggh, then he found out he was an All-Star and hasn’t played like one since.
David in my heart I literally want to agree because I’ve had the same thought seniment but i dont think the basketball gods will allow a team who has been inconsistent, lackadaisical, & dis functional (on court) ALL YEAR to just turn it on in the playoffs on top of the fact Jimmy is the only person on that roster who we can all agree can turn it on when its that time, I personally THINK Bam can but NOT SURE LIKE JIMMY & Tyler … yea we know what we hope from him
Screw you wes for trying to make this a Jimmy thing. He didn’t even play it’s not his fault you got 3 other $30 million players on this roster
With Butler, they lost big to Nets. W/o Butler, miami lost again to Raptors. No difference. Chef Spo is stubborn to a tee. He is throwing in same pieces but the motivation not there anymore. So maybe we can say our quiet goodbyes to the season. And the gentlemen here should review if their praise of Bam and Tyler is deserved. The high expectations fell short this year. There must be a bigger issue internally no everyone is privy to.
Can't blame Jimmy, they aren't motivated when Jimmy is on the court and it's been like this for years.
Start anew next season and retool
David is nuts lol
We fucking suck. I’m a heat lifer but watching our defense in games like this and in games like the one vs the nets just make me want to turn the game off. I watched this whole game for some reason but our defense is absolutely atrocious. Our offense isn’t going to get better so allowing 90 points in 3 quarters is going to end up in a loss 90% of the time
Inconsistent season. By the middle of the 3rd, I turned the TV off and did dishes for an hour. DISHES! They looked like they were playing in quicksand. Couldn't get rebounds, looked like they had no energy on either side of the floor. Just soulless bodies moving robotically. Can't impose your will when you don't have any. Last segment with Tobin you guys said best case scenario they go 5-2 for the remainder of the season… so far it's 0-1. Hopefully they beat the Knicks Wednesday. But that pesky inconsistency is not going away.
Where's the fuse
It may be that the Raptors are nearly at full strength — only Gary Trent Jr. out. The addition of Jacob Poertl has improved the Raptors.
