The Miami Heat went into Milwaukee and beat the top-seeded Bucks to steal homecourt in the series. But the story of the game is injuries to Giannis and Tyler Herro.
How do those injuries impact the rest of this series, and does beating the Bucks in round one now become more realistic for the Heat? Wes Goldberg and David Ramil break down the game. Plus, what will the Heat hope to build on from Game 1?

Why Tyler whyyyy
Hero out for 4-6 weeks,,
Damn we need him back asap
Im still wondering why herro dived that ball.🤦♂️
Bro Wes rly mentioned the Giannis injury like that. Saying Love deserves praise for it. I’m dead 🤣 hope giannis is good and back for game 2
We need a look party
Herro does a lot for the Heat – he takes pressure off of Butler. He set the tone to start the game today
I don't WANT to HEAR any EXCUSES about Giannis getting HURT. Herro was STARTING to COOK before HE got HURT. We didn't STEAL a WIN. WE took the WIN!!! THIS was NOT a SURPRISE for ME!!! We've been ONE of the top 3 MOST injured TEAMS in the LEAGUE this SEASON. MOST of OUR struggles have BEEN due to THAT and NOT any KIND of LACK of TALENT!!! The last few MONTHS of the SEASON we SHOT in the HIGH 30s FROM 3. AS long AS we CONTINUE to DO that WITH the WAY we PLAY defense AND Jimmy AND Bam BEING aggressive, ESPECIALLY in the PICK and ROLL, we can BEAT the BUCKS even WITHOUT Tyler. WE will NEED Herro in 2ND rnd in PARTICULAR. In this ROUND Oladipo, PARTICULARLY on DEFENSE is GOING to be EXACTLY what we NEED!!! Lastly, the Bucks are NOT the BEST team IN the NBA!
(I'm commenting before watching the video) I said that the Heat have to play damn near perfect basketball to give themselves a chance. Tonight they did just that. One game at a time. Regroup and get ready for the next one because we know Bucks going to come out way more aggressive and assertive on their home court in front of their fans in Game 2. Hopefully, Tyler's injury isn't too severe that he misses the entire playoff run (I know it's a broken hand, but that replay doesn't look like what happened to Ja Morant. I'm hoping that when they reevaluate that maybe it's less severe🤞🏿). Boy Wonder was off to a good start and seemed poised to make an impact on the series. But next man up mentality. As the OG UD preaches: "stay ready so you don't have to get ready." Great win! Let's enjoy it and get ready for the next one. Heatnation going to sleep good tonight. Now back to the regular scheduled program…
(Edit after watching video): Happy Birthday Wes!
Happy birthday Wes it’s my birthday as well 🎉
1 down, 15 to go
Another reason the win was so important:
With the injury to Herro, Spo now has some time to experiment with the new playoff rotation. Hopefully he's not still tweaking it by the time it comes back to Miami, but they're playing w/ house money in Game 2.
No, Klove was not being guarded the same way bam was, stop it
22:19 Wes you cold for this bro
Jimmy butler ❤
I saw a stat tonight that the Heat are 7-8 without Tyler Herro. I feel so bad for the kid. Seemed like this could have been the playoffs for him to take the leap
So on record, Wes has counted out the Heat. Nobody forget that
Why is Dipo not playing?😢
❤❤❤
Navy seals has one man down, another mercenary on the rescue, could be a sniper coming on wednesday.
This game if it reaches 7 its gonna be miami making a history
I still think we take advantage and seal game 2 with Giannis out. We’re winning these just in case Milwaukee regains homecourt advantage again
Kevin Love is a NASTY, NASTY player. I used to like him a lot until I learned how he moves. Do y'all remember this season when Kevin Love lied that Giannis charged on him and he got away with it? Do y'all remember? Go look it up if you think I am lying. He's always hunting for Giannis. He's used to it. I don't even know how many times tonight alone that Kevin Love hunted for Giannis! HES A VERY, VERY DISHONEST player. With that, Giannis needs to call it a year. He's NOT appreciated anyway. He's needs to focus more on his health and overall well-being. He bleeds for people who don't even like him. Go home and rest, Giannis.
Hehe ok 4-1 then
Make shots and they have a chance..We know they can shoot proved it last year..Come out of a shooting slump in playoffs and they can win and be competitive..
Y'all so positive man. Keeping this energy>>>
I kept saying it never count Miami out
Win is a win. No excuses.
The team really forced Bam to get himself out of his slump. I loved it.
Happy Birthday 🎉
I love how positive everyone is. I guess wining fixes everything. The pessimist in me says: they'll messed it up next game. Let's hope not.
Heat in 5
Dipo will have to play to replace Herro's offense, just keep him under control (easier said than done).
Move max to the 2. JB to the 3. Highsmith at the 4. Need athletic defense and dunks is a liability.
Heat win this series if we shoot 40+ percent from 3!
I think Miami wins in 7
Now, tyler hero is not around, Kyle Lowry gona has to be huge like Kyle Lowry to play that role. I said it that, miami Heat needs to keep giannis out of the pen and frustrate drew holliday.
The reason why bucks always beat the heat is cause of drew Holliday. If u can keep holidays out of the game or pen and frustrated giannis, the heat will get a winning. Guys, the major reason the bucks win is cause of drew holiday's and nobody is focusing on the creepy skills of that boy period
Nice victory. We were leading all game. Playoff Jimmy was cooking early but let Bam take over. No turd quarter for a change. Three point shooting 🔥. Giannis changes everything but we will take it. Great start. I hope we adjust to to the absence of Herro quickly. The new starting lineup and bench will be revealing.
I believe the heat were bored of the regular season. I know, it's a bad excuse for losing silly games, but this a team with basically no new players; no 'honeymoon' phase, no trying to figure things out.
Now they look motivated, aggressive and eager.
It's a whole new season for them starting the playoffs.
I'm hopeful and optimistic about game 2…. and the rest of this series.
…. and don't count Duncan Robinson out! This guy can still shoot if just gets out of his head.
KEVIN LOVE 🫡‼️
So bummed about Herro
Looked it’s only game 1 ,they have to continue shooting 45% and up from the 3 and they looked like the team from last season seeded no 1 . Even if Giannis is back , they will win these from 3 pt shooters , and Butler will do his thing inside and 1 from the line……..go heat ……Herro averaged 20 a game , that’s huge , the bench have to step up to win these series…….caution , these Bucks is not the no 1 seed for nothing . …..we have to take game 2 seriously…..go heat
Happy Birthday Wes! 15 more wins to go!
Every time people think the heat gonna fall off they take off. I think the doubt makes us greater🤫🤫😈😎
I bet we win even if he come back cuz he not coming at that rim 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Heat in 6, foh!
