Heat veteran mocks Tyler Herro after Amen Thompson fight

Miami Heat veteran Kevin Love clearly enjoys having fun at the expense of teammate Tyler Herro.

Count Love among those who find humor in Herro’s recent fight with Houston Rockets guard Amen Thompson. Love made light of the viral skirmish and supported his teammate on Instagram.

Love shared a photo of a young Herro and cited the latter’s comments after Sunday’s game.

“Feeling around. Throwing dimes. Doing everything,” Love wrote, adding the hashtag #CAWB.

For those unfamiliar, #CAWB refers to “cold white guy,” the nickname Herro earned from his teammates.

Love’s other post includes several memes and clips, including one of someone dressed as Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker rolling on the ground.

“My interpretation…” Love joked.

MAXWELL EXPLOITS HERRO, HEAT FANS

Given his time with the Rockets, no basketball fan should be surprised by point guard Vernon Maxwell’s position in the Herro-Thompson fight.

Maxwell took X and criticized Herro, calling him “Machine Gun Kelly” following Sunday’s skirmish between Herro and Thompson.

“Miami got the dub tonight, but they took an L in life,” Maxwell posted on Sunday. “Can I have an Amen?”

Maxwell continued his X attack on Monday.

“Hey Heat fans, 20 years from now, do you think people will remember Miami winning a meaningless regular season game or MGK getting knocked down the field,” Maxwell wrote.

HEAT LINKED TO FORMER HURRICANE GUARD

The Heat’s solution to their guard depth may be a former first-round pick completely familiar with the 305.

NBA insider Marc Stein mentioned the Heat as a possible suitor for veteran guard and former Miami Hurricane Lonnie Walker. The 26-year-old plays in Europe for Žalgiris Kaunas, a Lithuanian team.

Stein reported that NBA teams can terminate Walker’s international contract until February 18. He averaged 14.7 points and 3.1 rebounds with Žalgiris.

Walker, the 18th pick in 2018, played collegiately at Miami. Walker, a 6-foot-4 guard from Pennsylvania, averaged 11.5 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 32 games (18 starts) in his lone season with the Hurricanes.

Walker has career averages of 9.8 points and 2.3 rebounds in six seasons. He had 9.7 points and 2.2 rebounds in 58 games for the Nets last year.
