  1. It feels good to have Miami Heat basketball back! Close win. Do not knock the Pistons. They are young and really look like they could finally make a push for the playoffs now. It looks like Miami are going to play rotational basketball all year along while looking to develop players game again. #LETSGOHEAT

  2. I swear if the Pistons just surround Cunningham with shooting/forwards like Buddy Hield they'll be a terrifying team night in and out

  3. Sad to see the team that was in the finals get matches up in opening night to the pistons. Should have been at the very least an ecf rematch.

  4. Wait….why is jaden Ivy not starting?😂pistons this is why y’all will never be good again, because your front office decides to bench your first round 5th pick player😂AND he’s cold it’s not like he’s ass cheeks

  5. Piston did pretty good, would have enjoy seeing Cade get more touches for his teammates. The ball was hopping from teammate to teammate when this happens it gets the other team tired causing having legs late in the fourth quarter due to scrabbling to stay in-fronting the basketball. The last play was a poor offensive scheme drawn up by the coaches. With 2.5 seconds left in the game only down 1 point it’s a bad move running a play when the number option gets the ball beyond the three point line. You only need 1 point to win plus Miami is know for a trap defense taking away primary scorer. They should have some back door screens confusing defense down low and possibly getting another player open for an easier shot that getting the ball almost at half court

  6. Holy shit that was a good game. Tough loss but LOVE to see the young pistons fight back

  7. Cade did this to a team who just went to the finals and he had 30 on no freethrows 🤦🏾‍♂️ refs hate Cade

  8. Good to be back great start heat didn’t like the 4th but we got it done 81 more games let’s gooo heattttt

  9. Kyle Lowery is so bad its insane..32 min and scored like what? 2 points? I have no clue how Miami can even afford to have him on floor, let alone the starting unit.
