I don’t know that getting a worse pick and getting swept by Boston is something decent lol.

Take what you can get. You want yo be a play off team over 2 slot higher pick in a draft where no one agrees even within themselves of which order these crapshoot prospects should go.

The culture talk is a cliché at this point but it's true. There aren't a lot of organizations with the consistent structure and identity of the Heat over long term, it's basically just them and the Spurs. They definitely have an identifiably specific approach.
Them turning it on for the postseason is simply a fact, they've made the Finals as a #5 seed and a #8 seed in two of the last four seasons, and it's common knowledge that Jimmy Butler takes the RS less seriously.
That it doesn't always work is true, though, and as a Heat fan, I am pretty annoyed that we always play this "doesn't matter who the opponent is" angle to excuse not trying to get an advantage in the RS. Love Jimmy, but he does need to get his head out of his behind about this.

Comparing "heat culture" to what the spurs did is just hilarious. They made one real finals and one mickey mouse tournament finals. Nothing about that bubble playoffs was legitimate.
The reason why they're always competitive is pretty simple. They have a great coach. But that can only get you so far. They can't win a title with butler as their best player

This is silly. The Heat have made the finals just as many times the Spurs have and with just as any hall of famers.
