    this was one of those rare games where both teams can agree that the officiating was absolute dogshit. completely ruined the pace of the game.

  2. TheAgGatsby

    Julius Randle is so poo poo stinky idk how Knicks fans still defend this man

  3. SiphenPrax

    Almost nothing about today’s game surprised me. Miami got their revenge home game after what happened on Tuesday.

    If we don’t win Game 4 though it’s over

  4. We’re really gonna see the exact same ECF matchup as last year after Miami’s awful regular season

  5. Number333

    Kicked their ass. Knew we’d kick their ass. *Stugotz voice* Do it again on Monday.

  6. Dull-Broccoli

    BREAKING NEWS: Heat-Knicks games 4, 5, 6, and 7 to be officiated by Scott Foster.

  7. MiaCannons

    Remember when people tried to compare the Knicks missing Randle game 1 with us missing Butler game 2?

    We outclassed them while playing our C game. Heat in 5, 6 only if the Knicks get incredibly lucky with refs.

  8. MySilverBurrito

    Dunc fans, we stay starving 🥲

    Making shots is one thing, but jesus fucking Christ is it beautiful to have ball movement again.

    Offense not relying on the first option and everyone just standing still. Weak side screens, cuts, mismatches. This is 2020 Heat ball.

    TIL, this is the 548th sellout for the Heat.

  9. Remarkable_Cap_291

    I hate the Cavs for making me think we had a chance 😭

  10. crashck

    Biggest takeaway from this game, when I’m 89, I hope I still appreciate things in life in the same way that Hubie Brown appreciates good team basketball.

  11. Yergason

    I really took the day off to fall asleep 15 mins before the game and wake up with 50 seconds left. Congrats Heat on the 2-1 lead!

  12. Angelic_Phoenix

    anything after the 1st quarter was a technicality

  13. javo516

    Spoelstra cooking like he’s on the Food Network

  14. BlazeBloom

    Nobody on the Knicks shot over 50% today.

  15. abiomusicologist

    Man we have got some dawgs. We just look so much better than reg season Heat

  16. Instantcoffees

    Adebayo played his heart out and had great impact. Miserable game by the Knicks though, not the greatest game to watch as a neutral.

  17. masondog13

    Heat didn’t play well and won by 19. Thibs has a lot of answering to do and better change up his approach or this series is over (may be over regardless).

  18. KYRIE542

    Knicks fans were telling me it’s an easy path to ECF and they were clamping Butler up lol

  19. michaelpinkwayne

    Every year I forget how goddamn good Jimmy Butler is in the playoffs until the playoffs. I can’t believe I doubted the Heat.

  20. YouStillTakeDamage

    Despite his offensive struggles, Bam has been absolutely elite defensively. Just perfectly handled whoever went up against him.

  21. holybowler

    I don’t think Zeller realizes the scrub is supposed get under the star’s skin, not the other way around.

  22. Neuroxex

    Celtics fans thought they dodged the Heat. There is no dodging the Heat; they come for *you*.

  23. Toast2Carnage

    Years from now, I’m going to remember this Bad News Bears Era of the Heat very fondly. Such a great team to watch in the playoffs

  24. CrabCakesBenedict

    dang thats crazy! im gonna blow my head off!

  25. glennjamintaekyu

    I feel like I just watched a shitty Thursday Night Football game

  26. TheLoneWolf527

    Legitimately one of the worst offensive performances I’ve ever seen. The Knicks deserved to lose 2 games with how bad they played today.

  27. LetsbeLogical24

    I remember when everyone (me included) saw that Herro would be out 4-6 weeks and we all said “so the whole playoffs because they are losing to MIL”.

    He legit has a chance to come back this postseason. What an incredible run this team is on.

  28. TheMoorNextDoor

    Spoelstra really won Miami this game lol

  29. thugwaffle_1

    The cavs tricked me into thinking we had a chance

  30. mhj0808

    THE ZOMBIE HEAT CANNOT BE STOPPED 🧟‍♂️🔥🧟‍♂️🔥

  31. StoneColdAM

    Miami will make it to the finals. Jimmy has a tenacity no other player in the East has.
