Re: 2023 Miami Heat Regular Season Thread - Westbrook and Love edition
Why are we currently rostering 5 centers on this team?
C Bam Adebayo
C Cody Zeller
C Omer Yurtseven
C Orlando Robinson(2 way)
C Udonis Haslem
Are you telling me there’s not one player in the G league that even remotely resembles a PF? Did guys just stop growing from 6-7 to 6’9 230-250?
C Bam Adebayo
C Cody Zeller
C Omer Yurtseven
C Orlando Robinson(2 way)
C Udonis Haslem

I was going to take issue with listing UD as a C ... but then again why not? He doesn't play C just as often as he doesn't play PG.

I think if Yurt makes it back, then Robinson will be out the door.

Re: 2023 Miami Heat Regular Season Thread - Westbrook and Love edition
Bill simmons praised the zombie heat for like ten minutes on his Wednesday podcast and then poo poo 'ed all over our moves the last three years. And they were all saying that any other team with that many bad moves would be a lottery team and miami just won't die and go away lmao. I agree. Hanging around cuz Jimmy and bam are legit and pat did nothing to help last three years.
My bad if people talked about it already and i missed it. Just listened to it a couple hours ago.

Re: 2023 Miami Heat Regular Season Thread - Westbrook and Love edition
Simmons is terrified of Miami lol like legit terrified. We could bring Solomon Hill back and he’d think we were going to turn him into an elite 3 and D guy and make the Celtics lives miserable in the playoffs.
I would love to see how he reacts if we were to steal JB and/or Tatum from them

Basically that we have no business being in the playoffs given our point differential and statistics but we keep hanging around. Also that he can't believe the heat went from the top 3pt team to 28th. And that the only time that ever happened was warriors being first and winning it all and then losing steph and klay for practically the whole season to injuries so its obvious how that happened but for us it's bizarre.
That he thinks that outside of the bucks, he's most scared of us and the Knicks in the playoffs. They had lots of good things to say about Knicks and Josh hart addition.
But he's terrified of bam and Jimmy and how good they are in the playoffs.
He said Duncan was a bottom 5 contract in nba and that Lowry is a bottom 10 contract. Said he'd prefer KO over dipo cuz dipo is never healthy and we lost that trade. (Only part I sorta disagreed with him - dipo was huge for us in playoffs). Said we lost the Lowry trade. Couldn't believe we gave that money to Duncan. Just a bunch of stuff we already know. And that those moves would get most GMs fired and the team would be out of the playoffs and that Jimmy should be demanding a trade but that somehow we are in the playoffs and hanging around and he liked the Kevin love pickup.
Just about sums it up I think.

Only one of those two has a proven track record in the playoffs. Its just as much a “prove it” postseason for Bam as anybody, 15 pts a night wont cut it.

Us still being a winning team despite the crud is a testament to how foundationally solid we are: coaching, talent, system...

Let’s hope Spo doesn’t completely flip the script and neuter Bam offensively if we make the playoffs again. Let’s run sets for him, not the “shooters”

You'd be naive & str8 up ignorant if you think it's just Bam & Jimmy that contribute to our success. It's a collective. The rest of our roster held it down last season when key players were out which helped us clinch 1st seed in the east. When our role players stepped up that's testament of our coaching/training staff development & Spo inserting these cats & allowing them to shine in our system. It was us that helped Dipo realise his knee opp was botched & it was here he was able to rectify that. It was also Goran who was our leading scorer in the bubble that helped us get out of the East. Had he been healthy in the finals who knows how that would have gone.
Again, so glad fans don't run our organization.
If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

Role players have been dominant this year proving last season wasn’t a fluke

Herro is the youngest and least experienced. It took Bam until this year to have a 8 foot shot.
Herro 3 games ago scored 33 points while everyone else sucked in a loss.
If there is a better player than either of those 3, then I’d say every one should be available.
Bam "We're Human" Adebayo
it's soft as f*ck.
