Miami Heat Regular Season Thread 6.0 -Everything's Gonna Be All Wright

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Bucks get to choose their first round opponent. If they and Philly win, Philly end up 7 and Bucks 2. If Bucks lose to Magic, Cavs win, and Knicks win, they fall to 4 and face 5 Magic instead. They are 100% for sure gonna throw away their last game.

The final standings are likely gonna be this:
1) Celtics
2) Knicks
3) Cavs
4) Bucks
5) Magic
6) Pacers
7) 76ers
8) Heat
9) Bulls
10) Hawks

Heat are not gonna win the first play-in game against Philly. Get ready for that second play-in game against the Hawks with Trae Young and Boston in the first round if Heat don't lose that one...

I mostly agree and wouldn’t be surprised at all if we lose to Philly and then Atlanta and I also think the Bucks are ranking to avoid playing us or Philly but the only hope I have is that they don’t want to fall to 4 and be in the bracket with the Celtics 2nd round.

I think the Bucks should want to win the magic and finish 2nd. No way they want to face Boston in the 2nd run

In the stretch since Herro has returned he has averaged:

21.8ppg /5rebs/3.7 assists/2 turnovers

47%fg 37%3pt 88%FT

Solid production. Hopefully Jimmy turns it up along with Bam in the post season. Rozier was also playing well before the neck discomfort. Hopefully they can all put it together and Duncan can also find his stroke.

In the month of April Jovic has given us

13.3ppg 4.9rebs 2.1assists
50%fg 38.5%3pt 100%FT.

Nice.

I love how he and Jaime push the ball. It puts teams on their heels and creates space.

Rozier kept us within striking distance in some games where we were dead in the water. We have several guys coming around at the right time.

We're going to need 2 out of Jaquez, Caleb, Highsmith, or Love to show up each game going forward.

Need our bench to become a strength.

Apparently embiid tweaked his knee yesterday vs magic and was reevaluated today and might rest or not play on Sunday. Will be interesting to see if he's available but doesn't start or what they decide to do vs the nets

I actually think the most appealing part of Herro's return is his free throw rate, though I'm just looking it on a stat sheet and for all I know he was shooting technicals etc and not drawing fouls. But he is shooting 5.4 attempts a game since returning, more than double the rate of the season (2.6).

Hes finally been getting some calls.

This has been a massive concern to me over the last few years of his development. He needs to be a 5-6ftpg player if he ever wants to take the next step.

Definitely. And let's not forget that he doubled his FT rate while coming back after AllStar break when it's become notoriously harder to get FTs and most players have seen their free throws go down.

Imagine if Butler didn’t harbor this defeatist, lazy mentality all season smh….the two seed was a legitimate possibility.

There's very little gap in overall team quality between 2th and 9th seed in the East.

If we got our chit together we could've gotten to AT LEAST ECF.



Wasted season
