Should have called a timeout.

Spo has shown what he can do with literally nothing. Now let's see what Riley can do to give him more to work with.

Massive offseason especially since we are ready 11 million over the tax line with 19 million tax bill with only 8 players signed and one being Dipo when he opts in is most likely out of the year. I expect him to be stretched and waived saving us 6 million off that number. We need to trade one of our bloated salaries for multiple players to help fill out the roster.

This was the best year of his career tbf though, statistically

Absolutely. Anyone in the west not named the Nuggets, we would've out-toughed them.

Nah we would have lost. To win we needed our shooters to get hot or MVP level Jimmy Butler. If we are getting neither, we are not beating any elite team. We got neither in finals and went back to regular season Miami heat

We orgasmed in game 2 and that was a wrap.
That win was that good.
Finished inside

Boston is a legit gripe.

Lakers??? We lost Bam and Goran. No chance. Lets not rewrite history.

The shooters went cold in that series is what I'm saying. Unless I'm totally misremembering.

Its a domino effect. You take out our top scorer, then our defensive hub.....role playing shooters cant compensate for that. Its a delicate balance. Inuries suck so bad. Luck is what you need. With luck, Hakeem wins more chips than Jordan.

Regardless, it always feels like our core of shooters all get ice cold for too long whether it's all regular season (this year) or all playoffs (last year). I know every team that shoots a lot of 3s is streaky but these cold spells are our doom more than anything else.

This is an NBA franchise, not a disadvantaged youth organization. No one is going to feel sorry for you for being undermanned. Improve the team.

Yeah seems like a pity party group meeting. Or tryna secure that 20mill a year contract. But we will.

I still think about that 3 he took vs Celtics last year in ECF, when he could have drive to the basket
He wasn't hurt then

I accepted that shot. It didn't go. F it

You crazy trolling now bringing this up lol

-SHULA

No trolling here Jimmy's strength is driving to the basket vs taking the 3.
We could have been in finals last year too

I guess we're all supposed to give props to Denver and all, but Jokic is not likeable. Sorry he's not. Neither is Murray's front running ass.
Much respect to the rest of their team though. Gordon especially showed me something. Happy for him and the rest of their guys.

Denver aint out tough us. They out talented us. Which what we saw from Jimmy don't think we would've been the Lakers either

Both were bad.

I said it.

Can you?

Bam's defensive impact was pretty massive, he had a good game overall. Also got whacked with no call a few times which hurts his efficiency.

He played hard but offensively he is too limited. I know he is great on defense but it's very hard to win when your max players are not capable of scoring 30 plus. I am tired of people giving him a pass only because he is a great defender. He needs to be great on both ends of the floor. 20 points is just not good enough.

"Max salary" doesn't mean what you think it means. Max salary just means that the Heat gave him the most money that he was eligible for. There are tons of guys making more.

Russell Westrook and John Wall both made $17 million more than Bam this season.
Klay Thompson made $10 million more than Bam.
Kemba Walker made $7 million more than Bam.
Myles Turner made $5 million more than Bam.
Andrew Wiggins made $3 million more than Bam.
Kevin Love made $2 million more than Bam.

Jokic’s lack of emotion came off kind of snobby & entitled to me idk, maybe I’m tripping

Oh well, it was a fun ride. Yeah, it would have been great if a few more shots went down tonight, and if Jimmy didn't wait till the very last minute to do something. But overall, cannot complain. Great to share this ride with you all, Heat fam!

Riles, Spo did his part .. now it's up to you to fix what we are obviously lacking. Size and scoring.
