Fans of the Miami Heat were not happy with Tyler Herro on social media following the Heat’s Play-In Tournament loss on Wednesday.

The Heat fell 115-114 to the Philadelphia 76ers. The 76ers claimed the seventh seed in the East with the win. The Heat now have an elimination game with the Chicago Bulls at Kaseya Center on Friday for the eighth seed.

Many of the Heat’s players failed to impress offensively. Herro led the team with 25 points and nine assists. Herro also helped the Heat attempt to rally by scoring 16 points in the fourth quarter, including a 3-pointer with 1.1 seconds remaining to bring the Heat within one.

Despite the heroic effort, Herro still failed to be efficient. He shot just nine of his 27, going 4 of 14 from the arc.

Drafting Tyler Herro genuinely set this franchise back years.

This Heat fan didn’t hold back after the loss. Herro was selected in the first round of the 2019 NBA Draft. He has the fifth-most points and assists and the sixth-most rebounds from players in that draft.

get lottery pick, flip that pick and herro + maybe another pick for mitchell or dame

It’s time to get somebody Jimmy can actually take a back seat to … and that will never be Bam or Herro

Some brought up the concept of trading Herro. He has been in trade rumors before, most notably this past summer during the Damien Lillard saga. 

And for everyone blaming Tyler Herro are yall stupid or just dumb ?

Tyler Herro the only reason we were in the game. Especially in the 4th quarter.

Yall should blame our only “All Star” our only “Team USA” player scoring 10 points looking like a dam role player pic.twitter.com/jZ5D2IkesM

A select few backed up Herro for his efforts on Wednesday. This fan attacked Bam Adebayo for his poor performance, rather than blaming Herro’s poor shooting.

The Heat will count on Herro even more Friday because Jimmy Butler is reportedly sidelined for multiple weeks after sustaining a knee injury Wednesday. This could be Herro's chance for redemption.
