Honestly though almost halftime and not even 30 points yet in today's era that's just lack of pride. Cavs aren't that much better, team has straight up quit. Embarrassing to see, but it gives the front office carte blanche to move everyone at least.

If I was a superstar I would never go West. God the East is so bad.. And hasn't been good in like 25 years. LOL. Why would any top guy want to go out West and go through wars, when you can just steamroll your way in the East and then be well rested for a final??

Every coach got their wins bc of great players. You can do this with Phil Jackson, Steve Kerr, Pop, Riley, etc etc etc. Who does it with dogchit teams? Oh yeah, Spo.
Eventually the **** will bury you.

For a long time it gave me nightmares,witnessing an injustice like that.It’s a constant reminder of just how unfair this world can be.I can still hear them taunting him, Silly Rabbit tricks are for kids.I mean why couldn’t they just give him some cereal?

He's one year longer than Jimmy for way less money (30 mil vs Jimmy's 60-70).
Not that I want him here even that long, but he's definitely a movable contract. He's seen around the league as a guy who will put his nose down and be the garbage pail guy, which a lot of guys aren't willing to do. It just does nothing for us because the whole roster is garbage pail guys.
I would have taken Jimmy 10/10 over this. At least you can get rid of Herro or Bam in a trade for a first option and he's still someone who can create his own offense.
I know, I know, we need to get over it. But number 1 options are hard to come by in this league. Even if they are more of a 1b than a 1a like Jimmy. He was a gift to us by Wade and we gave him up for nothing basically. With zero plan on how to replace. Its frustrating.

Saudades.

Yeah rightcan't expect much with this **** roster. It's not spo's fault we're at the salary cap with some overpaid garbage, overpaid roleplayers, and zero superstars at this time. Thats on Riley. It's time for a rebuild cuz no one is coming here in the off-season after this showing.
For perspective, I'd argue this roster has more cumulative talent than the 08-09 or 09-10 Heat squads. Not a lot more, but still. That's how important it is in this league you have a true #1 vs guys that are kinda sorta that.
Both first round and done teams, but the Wade squads competed. They were in every game. And you always felt like you had a chance to win. I don't think this team felt competitive once now in the last 2 years.

Don’t think I’ve ever been more disgusted to be a HEAT fan, this is a fuxking embarrassment. I don’t remember a team ever quitting like this, especially after almost stealing a couple games on the road coming back home.
We haven’t won a home playoff game in 708 days, that streak will push to over 1,000 at minimum by next year

Spo has exactly as many wins as a head coach because of Shaq as you and me combined.

If you're Spo what do you even do at halftime? Do you go JJ Redick and play your starters the entire second half, or do you just load the team on the bus to beat the traffic?
