I posted this in the general discussion topic, and felt like this would be a good place and time to re-post this post and vent.
Damn. I was never pro-tank. No matter how good it would have been to get our pick. I always had faith and never thought this would happen to a team that had so much to prove after LBJ left.
Not gonna lie. The last few losses hurt. Even if it was for the better. Playoffs won't be the same without White Hot. Even though I, and a few others have been spoiled with this great run we have had over the last 4 years, and our track record as a franchise in general, missing the play offs still hurts, Blacking out from basketball from late April-training camp is going to suck. Honestly, I could give a rats ass about who wins the title if the Heat isn't in the mix during the post season. 6 months of no Heat basketball on my television, and 3 months before we hear any news (free agency) blows. This is where I feel like my emotional investment as a fan is a bit to much lol. Even though tanking will be better in the long run than ending up in no-mans land 9th seed, either way, the results will still be the same (no White Hot Heat).
Getting to watch your team for those 4+ extra games in the play offs as a fan really means something now that we have missed it.
Here's to hoping we luck out in the lottery (if we don't end up in no-man's land that is).
Let's Go Heat. In Riley we trust.
