“Cheeks Shall Be Clapped”: Heat Star’s Confident Claim to Soccer Star Neymar Gets Brutal Treatment from NBA Fans

Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat are in dire straits now. The Heat is down 1-3 against the Denver Nuggets in the Final. A loss will end their dazzling campaign. However, gutsy guard Kyle Lowry has a reputation for not letting it go that easily. He has a belief in his team and why not? They have beaten the odds regularly. He sent a message earlier, showing the belief that his squad was going to at least force a game 6. Soccer sensation, Neymar Jr, was present on the courtside when the Denver Nuggets defeated the Miami Heat in Game 4.

The Guard was addressing Neymar, who was a huge NBA fan for a long time. However, he was taken to the cleaners by a bunch of fans.

Kyle Lowry and Heat are not done yet

While Lowry isn’t the same player, he was when the Toronto Raptors won their historic championship, he still has a lot of fight in him. Despite that, he has received heavy minutes owing to his playmaking and defensive chops. Since the Heat has still not lost the series, a player of Lowry’s stature is not likely to give up. Although prospects look bleak for the squad, he still implied to Neymar that the soccer great will be present for Game six that is going to be played in Heat’s home arena if the team nabs a win in Game 5.

As for his own performance, he played 33 minutes in the last game and this is the highest amount of minutes he has played. The veteran Guard has been coming off the bench during the Playoffs and has been needed for his incredible and well-reputed defensive chops. He scored 13 points in the last game and dished seven assists. Since both Max Strus and Gabe Vincent haven’t been getting it done in the starting lineup, the Heat has called upon the services of the veteran.

Fans weren’t buying what Lowry said

There were a lot of fans who felt that Lowry’s comments are going to be in vain. They blasted Lowry for his optimism. 

One fan kept is as simple as possible

One fan assured Neymar that he won’t need to be there for Game Six

One of them hinted that Lowry’s playing days in NBA might be over soon

A commenter had predicted the current trajectory of the series

There was a rare believer too

There is only one instance of a team coming back from a deficit of 1-3 in the Finals. And that was the much-celebrated 2016 Cavs that did so against a loaded Warriors squad. 

Overall, the Miami Heat’s chances don’t look inspiring. They are heavily outmatched at most of the positions. Making it to the Finals was a miracle in itself for a team that had to qualify through the Play-in tournament. 

Even if the Heat loses the next game and Lowry’s prediction is off, the team has had a magical Playoff run, beating top seeds as a bottom feeder in the Playoffs. At any rate, do you believe what Lowry is suggesting? Do comment below.
