"I want [Kiyan] to play at a Shai pace, a Haliburton pace ... you can be slim, but you also gotta know how to utilize the strength that you have."
Melo gets real about what Kiyan Anthony will be in the lab working on for next season 💯
Carmelo Anthony on Bam 83:
"I don't care how everybody felt about his 83, he got 83. If you ever played this game before you know how hard it is to score 10, 20 points. 83 points I don't care who record he breaks. Bam I take my hat off to you. 83 you deserve to keep that sign. Don't let anybody take that away from you. Listen when its time to grab the moment, you go grab it. Bam grabbed history. Its 83 points in a NBA game. WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT!"
"We were asleep in the tent when a pack of wolves attacked… 🐺😱
and my Pitbull charged out to protect us."
No fear.
No hesitation.
Just instinct.
He fought them off and came back standing. 🐕❤️

Like I’ve said many times and no one listened…no QB can succeed on this roster with this fucking head coach.
But we scapegoated Tua and committed to McDaniel long term. Hooray for us!
Still trying to find the right words to articulate how I feel about how we got here.
Tua is the best quarterback this franchise has had since Dan Marino. At his best he led the league in passing, was at or near the top of every relevant statistical category, an assassin on third down. We got some amazing memories with him and I firmly believe he could've led us to some post season success in 2022 if he hadn't got hurt or 2023 if injuries didn't cripple us on both sides of the line.
For those who think the player he was before this season will be easy to replace, I think you'll be in for a rude awakening.
It's quite clear injuries have had a profound impact on Tua's career. Starting with that first hip injury back at Alabama which took away some of his torque, to the concussions which have made him too cautious (understandably), to the new hip injury last year. It's all taken a toll.
This year his fundamentals have been off. His pocket presence (which was elite when he first got here) has broken down, he's throwing off platforms no QB should (see pick against Pittsburgh), and he's not going through his progressions like he has in the past. I think these are the things Tua will have to prioritize this offseason.
As for the future - I don't know what happens next. If he is gone in 2026, I am thankful for the moments where we all believed Miami was legit again. I will never regret the teams decision to roll the dice on the player Tua was at Alabama. I will also not be surprised if Tua's second act is a highly successful one if he is on a new team in 2026. My advice to him would be to get his head down and remember how quickly narratives flip in this league.
I still firmly believe Tua is this teams best option for 2026. But I do not see how that can happen if Mike McDaniel is coming back. Lots to reflect on for everyone involved here, but if this it, then it's #ThankYouUce and I'll always be rooting for you wherever you end up. 🐬🤙
