Miami Heat Regular Season Thread 21-22 Vol. 3

Props to our guy UD for standing up, apparently some from Reddit thread got this with the highest upvote.

"Ok so hijacking this comment. It appears Jimmy told Spo "Don't threaten me like I'm a bitch." and Spo said "You think I'm gonna **** fight you?" while Haslem was saying "Show them! Show them! (talking about the Warriors) We're not you're mother **** enemy. We not your enemy!" then Jimmy stood up and looked like he starred Haslem down (maybe said "**** you" at this point?) and he was just checking him at that point"

If this is true, then JB is a b*tch. Spo may have called him out for being passive this past few games.

Trade his *ss somewhere if continues to be cancer. Even a prime LeBron and Dwade didn't go down to this level with Spo. Shooting the ball lethargically ain't gonna help either.

LeBron absolutely did

You mean the Bump? lol that was passive as hell. This JB thing is 10x worse that Spo threw a clipboard.

Wade and LeBron went to an even further level with Spo than a little yelling lol. Wade pushed him

The uneducated eye would see this and think Ja is as good as 3rd year Wade when in reality Wade was on a different world defensively and these numbers aren’t adjusted to pace and style of play.

Well, it's not little yelling when you said FU to a coach in public right? The red flag is always there for Jimmy, If he does not step up in the PO then Riles should ship his *ss along with Duncan Robinson asap lmao. Also, got outplayed by a scrub in the Bucks series, he got a lot of redeeming to do.

Only time will tell. I think we thrive from this type of stuff. If not then I’m going all in on pairing Bam with Mitchell and one more young stud around their age (SGA, Ja Brown, Ingram)

Almost uncanny similarities by the numbers. Ja is special

They dominated right after that too then we’re taken out and didn’t have the same fire in the 4th. Weird night last night. Bam went off in the 3rd after all that and was clearly fired up emotionally

[AirP.]

Windhaurst also talks about the situation. He believes Spoelstra tried to use the situation to fire up the team, I guess that's what the clipboard being thrown down was. Later he notes this is the toughest the Eastern Conference he's seen in 20 years.

Stephan A. says Miami handled it correctly when he contacted them last night, they didn't give any details but didn't dodge the questions. He also says Miami is good enough to get to the finals or bounced in the 1st round which is exactly right.

It's crazy to think about a 3rd year player carrying a team to a championship. Wade really doesn't get enough credit for it to this day.

Pace adjusted, Wade's 3rd year in the league would have been averaging over 30 points and 7 assists per game in today's NBA.

Prime Wade is easily the best player in the league today Imo. And those pace numbers don’t even factor in how much more the floor is spread today with shooters and the fact that Wade did most of his damage as an attacking guard who was attacking the paint against a guy at 6’10 and another at 7’0 on the court at all times. Much different than Giannis driving the lane today and being met by Isaiah Stewart, Mike Muscala or some **** lol

Stephen A is right, that’s the sad reality of the East this year. Heat, Nets, Sixers, Bucks, and Celtics matchups could literally all go either way. No outcome in a series involving 2 of them would be shocking (unless of course there was a sweep or something)

The bench was really horrible last night.

Facts. The lanes are much more open nowadays and the offense is a lot more 'free flowing'. 3rd year Dwyane Wade averages 33 points, 10 assists per game and wins the MVP award.

Why else was Spoelstra still going after Butler? It's near the end of the season, this team is looking like )#($) against teams undermanned, I could see Spoelstra trying to at least get Butler going.

The only reason I wonder about what Butler said that got Spoelstra to ask if he was asking him to fight was because Butler's body language didn't look threatening, in fact his body language looked like he was surprised at the situation.

I have no problem throwing Butler under the bus for the whole situation but I'm not sure it's all that cut and dry on what exactly happened.

I don't think people understand how much things like this happens outside the public's view.

Everyone has their button and it was apparently Spo button was pushed by Jimmy comment. However these guys are comfortable at going after each other and I think sometimes that comfort can spill over during inappropriate times. I have seen this a lot of times even in the office space where its always Inappropriate but there are groups that are comfortable going at each other and overall cool with it until someone does hit the wrong button. Hopefully these guys all know they all lost control of themselves and that at the end of the day they all were trying to do right.

If Spoelstra really thought Butler threatened him he should have sat him and possibly sent him to the locker room and let the FO decide what to do with suspending him.

This team really can't get worse then what they've been the last 2 games, hopefully this situation wakes up everyone that it's go time, at least a player and a head coach are frustrated with the current play, this team needs to get whatever chemistry built up that you can for the rest of the season.

And Wade kinda got banished from the kingdom. Heat org is a tight circle. Its the Arisons, Riley, ZO, UD, Andy and Spo in that circle then everyone else. Thats why I find it laughable that people think Spo will get fired. He's pretty tight with that group. The only way he gets fired is he has a falling out with Riley or the Arisons.
I think the Butler thing will pass. I won't be a big deal in the long rum. But Butler has to be careful, Heat FO will choose Spo over him if it comes down to it.
