How Miami Heat’s Twitter Reacted to the Loss Against the Milwaukee Bucks Friday Night

Miami Heat fans exited the All Star break with a sense of optimism after signing Kevin Love and pondering the possibility of a revamped team.

The fan base was instead handed their largest loss of the season against the Milwaukee Bucks Friday night.

“9 days off to turn this season around but nope this team comes back the same,” user HeatCulture said. “20+ games left and the 3-point shooting is somehow getting worse. Strus and Duncan are useless, no help outside of Jimmy/Bam and the defense was embarrassing to watch. Micky and Pat need to be kicked out.”

Guess this shows the difference between the Heat and an actual contender in the East.

The trade deadline is over, so fans can no longer talk about how the team needs to make changes this season. Some Heat fans even jokingly stated the team should move on to next season.

Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo left the game in the first quarter but Milwaukee had six players in double figures. The Bucks made 19 3-pointers on 41 percent shooting. Meanwhile, the Heat shot 22.5 percent from 3-point range, continuing their struggles from that area.

Jae and Leonard have made 1 less 3 than our entire team btw.

In his Heat debut, Love had a team-high eight rebounds but went scoreless.

Miami is 2-3 since the trade deadline, with their victories being close wins against the Orlando Magic and Houston Rockets. Fans may have gone overboard with their demands for trades but their past few performances could justify their frustration.

The Heat play the Charlotte Hornets tonight.
