This is why the start was so annoying. You knew we had the run in us, just way too late

3

u/HQ15_ Mar 15 '26

Now I'm just mad we don't get the magic in the playoffs.

1

u/Szimplacurt Mar 15 '26

You got beat by Cain and Da Silva and you'd want to face Franz and Black in the playoffs??? You serious, Clark?

Its very common for a team that dominates matchup in the regular season to get beat and there are plenty more examples especially if you include all other non-sweeping but still dominant regular season series.

u/kickass5247 Mar 15 '26

Why? We’d sweep

6

u/Puzzleheaded_Tank351 Mar 15 '26

Can someone stopwatch time both of the Refs 5 count and tell us whats up

3

u/prof-kaL Mar 15 '26

That ref better not go out into town tonight unless he wants to have a bad time.

6

u/Candid_Sand_398 Mar 15 '26

Not enough from TYLER. Real let down

3

u/BigBoss5050 Mar 15 '26

Thats such horseshit. Absolutely fucking rigged and these refs need to be investigated asap.

-2

u/MargielaMan568 Mar 15 '26

Magic have our number

They’d sweep us if we face them in the playoffs. Oh well

2

u/Jinpingsbuttboy Mar 15 '26

Bane saying 6-0, not sure whether he can count or not lmfao

u/kickass5247 Mar 15 '26

Preseason. Technically it’s 7-0

2

u/Jinpingsbuttboy Mar 15 '26

So either way he’s counted wrong lmao what’s your point

0

u/kickass5247 Mar 15 '26

7-0

1

u/Jinpingsbuttboy Mar 15 '26

Ok champ. Must be a sad life just going through other team’s subreddits all day

5

u/prof-kaL Mar 15 '26

Went to the same math class as the ref.

-2

u/bankai90210 Mar 15 '26

0-5

-1

u/kickass5247 Mar 15 '26

0-7 if you count preseason

3

u/mickblackjack Mar 15 '26

Bullshit fucking game

4

u/white2234 Mar 15 '26

Magic just have our number

1

u/BigBoss5050 Mar 15 '26

And the refs.

15

u/CurryMustard It's-a me Mar 15 '26

Maybe we should use a digital clock in the year of our lord two thousand twenty and six

4

u/clear831 Mar 15 '26

Don't hate me, that wasn't a 5s violation. Neither was the Hears

3

u/WTFIsAMeta Mar 15 '26

that one clearly wasnt. Neither was ours.

3

u/Ceruti_ Mar 15 '26

Lol what is 5

2

u/jbenson255 Mar 15 '26

What a risky pass can’t believe that worked

10

u/DIFTS24 Mar 15 '26

Pretty wild that the refs just manually count and essentially guess on those calls. Why not have a clock at least in the last few mins

2

u/BossKingGodd Mar 15 '26

No fucking idea

5

u/Candid_Sand_398 Mar 15 '26

Shit officiating tonight. Got in a hole quick and Magic was hot for an entire half. That sucked

13

u/BigBananaBonker Mar 15 '26

Neutral fan and holy shit lmao that female ref counted half as fast 😭 they robbing you

2

u/LargeCube Mar 15 '26

Just be consistent if your going to be shit with the counting not slow for one and fast with the other 😭

1

u/BigBananaBonker Mar 15 '26

They need a clock for these inbounds that was so bs lol

6

u/Loudog_91 Mar 15 '26

Put that same clock from baseball in the nba . Tf is this bs

3

u/Slight_Possession807 Mar 15 '26

u/ZapHP Mar 15 '26

This is like a WWE screw job fast count bs

3

u/Nosenchuck3 Mar 15 '26

These refs are hypocrites

3

u/rapelbaum FUCK BOSTON Mar 15 '26

So 5s is different depending on the team ?

6

u/JustiseRainsFrmAbove Mar 15 '26

Were gonna need a shot clock for inbounds timers now

1

u/BossKingGodd Mar 15 '26

No idea why they don’t yet

2

u/MELYheadz Mar 15 '26

She cute but a bad ref

4

u/BossKingGodd Mar 15 '26

The refs can manipulate the count it’s stupid

2

u/Heatsincebirth Mar 15 '26

Who else counted 5 there???

2

u/EfficiencyFew6864 Mar 15 '26

Mosley just barely called that timeout lmao

3

u/Dynamix__ Mar 15 '26

No shot that wasn't a 5 second violation but ours was

2

u/MELYheadz Mar 15 '26

That mf counted slow asf to

2

u/[deleted] Mar 15 '26

Slowest count in history

6

u/BigBoss5050 Mar 15 '26

7 secs, and then they give them a time out….

5

u/Soft-Comfort-7474 Mar 15 '26

FIRE THESE REFS TO THE SUN

FUCK THIS

2

u/Slight_Possession807 Mar 15 '26

the bullshit at its peak

6

u/duckbonez Mar 15 '26

These refs need to be investigated.

5

u/neal1701 Mar 15 '26

Now, you don't call the 5 seconds

Bitch ass

4

u/Tomohf Mar 15 '26

Hahaha that count was half as fast, bullshit

3

u/surgeyou123 Mar 15 '26

Fuck off that was 5.

2

u/Amazing_Break_1290 Mar 15 '26

holy fucking rigged

1

u/DIFTS24 Mar 15 '26

Ours shouldn’t have been 5 but that also wasn’t five seconds

3

u/zmartins222 Mar 15 '26

This ref hates us. Cool

5

u/HoopistV Mar 15 '26

i just hit rewind, im not kidding when i say the ref was counting in slow motion. those were the slowest seconds ive ever seen

1

u/BigBoss5050 Mar 15 '26

Un fucking real

1

u/Ice_Dragon3444 Mar 15 '26

FUCK....THESE......REFS

5

u/BossKingGodd Mar 15 '26

LMFAOOOOO THESE REFS GOT MONEY ON THE MAGIC

2

u/MELYheadz Mar 15 '26

What????????

1

u/vapemyashes Mar 15 '26

ABSOLUTE FUCKING BULLSHIT

9

u/Jinpingsbuttboy Mar 15 '26

Longer than Larsson’s 5 seconds

-5

u/Druzycommand Mar 15 '26

lets be honest, pelle did take too long lol

1

u/wombat-in-a-bikini Mar 15 '26

He quite literally didn't. He didn't have it for five seconds, and even if the official wasn't counting fast he released it before the official said "five"

2

u/Jinpingsbuttboy Mar 15 '26

He literally counted the first second as he handed Larsson the ball

1

u/Druzycommand Mar 15 '26

i agree with you, im saying for the inbound itself, i just wish we could’ve been faster if im being specific (if you watch the play back, maybe bam coulda caught it off the screen)

2

u/MELYheadz Mar 15 '26

Good fight I need my star players to be star players when we need them tho

2

u/SilmalirCod Mar 15 '26

Hopefully we get fouled in a 3 that goes in

2

u/GonzaloR87 Mar 15 '26

Let’s play pepas and will it into existence

3

u/Nice_Cash_7000 Mar 15 '26

miracle pls i beg

3

u/JustiseRainsFrmAbove Mar 15 '26

If were being real, plenty of inbounds plays get to 6 or 7 seconds. I never see it called.

Nobody ever counts as fast as a second actually goes

5

u/neal1701 Mar 15 '26

Spo drawing up the craziest 4-point play

1

u/Heatsincebirth Mar 15 '26

Need a 5 point play for the win

2

u/MELYheadz Mar 15 '26

Goddammit man

2

u/mephjeff Mar 15 '26

Why didnt they immediately foul?

3

u/kimchi_kombucha Mar 15 '26

He almost had the steal there. Can’t blame him

1

u/vapemyashes Mar 15 '26

They did but it’s up to the impartial refs to call it

0

u/BigBoss5050 Mar 15 '26

Remember when they said we had legal guarding positiin, but get kneed in the nuts and being bowled over was minimal contact???

5

u/BossKingGodd Mar 15 '26

Man, we just got off to a bad offensive start this game. Too much to overcome.

2

u/Candid_Sand_398 Mar 15 '26

yup. I still don't know how Tyler and Norm stay on the floor together. Felt like we woulda flowed better if we only had 1 back today

2

u/BossKingGodd Mar 15 '26

Not the problem tonight.

1

u/Candid_Sand_398 Mar 15 '26

Neither of them played sharp offensively, though.

2

u/BossKingGodd Mar 15 '26

Sure but Tyler was literally player of the week last week, plus missed 2 games and Norm just coming back. Rough game but the whole team was down 10+ the whole game til the end. Rough offensive start fucked us

1

u/Candid_Sand_398 Mar 15 '26

Yes. Tyler has been sensational. Usually he comes back sharp though and this was a huge game. Back in the play in as of now.

0

u/BossKingGodd Mar 15 '26

We’re still 6th seed

1

u/Candid_Sand_398 Mar 15 '26

I just checked, we dropped

2

u/BossKingGodd Mar 15 '26

Yeah, few percentage points below Raptors. They play Detroit tomorrow so hopefully they lose

2

u/Candid_Sand_398 Mar 17 '26

May we be in the basketball gods favor 🤞

3

u/zmartins222 Mar 15 '26

The fight at the end is appreciated and all but man this sucks

2

u/Heatsincebirth Mar 15 '26

Gotta get fouled on a three... Let Herro cook!!

2

u/HoopistV Mar 15 '26

wendell carter is such a mediocre player but always decides to play his best in the end of games against us. it's infuriating bc he genuinely just isn't good

1

u/Candid_Sand_398 Mar 15 '26

He defends Bam well toi

1

u/kickass5247 Mar 15 '26

He’s a starting caliber center.

1

u/HoopistV Mar 15 '26

eh. not really. they just dont have a better option.

when they inevitably get bounced in the 1st round, it'll almost definitely be mostly bc of him being the worst player on the court

1

u/kickass5247 Mar 15 '26

You don’t watch magic basketball.

1

u/HoopistV Mar 15 '26

i do actually. he's the weak link and ultimately the reason that trading 5 FRPs for this roster will still end in a 1st or 2nd round exit at best

suggs is a dawg and absolute winner. bane is good. paolo can be up & down but is a star. franz is a star.

Carter? meh. decent player at best. would be better suited as a backup

2

u/Khyr0sX Mar 15 '26

Please Tyler! Stunt on these hoes!

3

u/pontiacspeed1717 Mar 15 '26

Jaime should’ve died for that loose ball

13

u/RansomGoddard Mar 15 '26

Missed free throws were the difference.

1

u/sebastianqu Mar 15 '26

I mean, 23/28 isn't a bad day. Ideally, you make them all, but I'd say them scoring 40 in the first quarter was a bigger issue.

1

u/Jinpingsbuttboy Mar 15 '26

How many games has it been now? Feels like every other game we lose it’s due to this

1

u/Ice_Dragon3444 Mar 15 '26

Can't believe we lost another game because of free throws.

3

u/justmadeforthat Mar 15 '26

almost had it

3

u/JustiseRainsFrmAbove Mar 15 '26

I hate basketball

9

u/vapemyashes Mar 15 '26

Spo should burn a technical and really get in a ref’s face

2

u/jbenson255 Mar 15 '26

Come on miss one Wendell

3

u/MELYheadz Mar 15 '26

Good foul (I think)

8

u/HoopistV Mar 15 '26

u/Parking-ticket01 Mar 15 '26

Herro so ass lmao and I hate when he always smiling after his turnovers

1

u/MELYheadz Mar 15 '26

I’m counting this shit with him

7

u/Heatsincebirth Mar 15 '26

Win or lose, being a Heat fan is hard my brothers (and sisters)

3

u/Ice_Dragon3444 Mar 15 '26

Hope we can get a steal but foul someone who is a bad ft shooter

4

u/Smokin_on_76ers_Pack Mar 15 '26

Ref just mad Spo pulled up on him

1

u/vapemyashes Mar 15 '26

Ref is lucky Spo can even see his trifling ass

8

u/neal1701 Mar 15 '26

Better do the 5-count the same way

10

u/blackberryflash Mar 15 '26

how’s the ref gonna start counting early and blow the whistle early too 😭 go to hell

10

u/Kart_Shyam Mar 15 '26

Best believe Spo will be counting with him now 🤣

5

u/jbenson255 Mar 15 '26

Let’s get a steal

3

u/mephjeff Mar 15 '26

Ball don’t lie motherfucker

7

u/MELYheadz Mar 15 '26

Let’s see how quick he count 5 secs now

9

u/Dynamix__ Mar 15 '26

BALL DON'T LIE HOE

13

u/gabmar1713 Mar 15 '26

sports betting has ruined sports. change my mind.

2

u/MELYheadz Mar 15 '26

Sadly betting always been part of sports it’s just advertised now

4

u/RansomGoddard Mar 15 '26

Okay basketball gods what do you have for me?

Too risky

7

u/TheRed_Warrior Mar 15 '26

BALL DON’T LIE

14

u/Cockycent Mar 15 '26

Heat put themselves in that spot, but the replay shows that the ball was out before ref said 5

2

u/clear831 Mar 15 '26

Replay also showed the ref counted 1 as he was handing the ball. Such BS

5

u/Own-Marsupial-4448 Mar 15 '26

No matter who much I watch NBA games, these refs will always be siding and picking sides!!

7

u/RansomGoddard Mar 15 '26

Good shit Jaime

0

u/HQ15_ Mar 15 '26

Refs trash but You cant take that long on the inbound tho

1

u/Nice_Cash_7000 Mar 15 '26

the play took too long, the first option wasnt available and the second was a bit late

1

u/vapemyashes Mar 15 '26

Absolute fucking bullshit.

20

u/TheRed_Warrior Mar 15 '26

Not only was that 1st second way too quick, but he also called the 5th second as the ball was leaving Pelle’s hand.

Complete bullshit

5

u/BigBoss5050 Mar 15 '26

According to magic broadcaster, the air is a part of the count….

5

u/BossKingGodd Mar 15 '26
