Now just wait for the ESPN debate that this Heat team is one of the weakest number 1 seed of all time lol

How far do the Heat need to go to not be considered bubble frauds? Or is getting the 1 seed enough considering they were in the finals just 18 months ago?

I personally think ECF win or lose.. 1st round exit or second round exit not going to cut it..

IMO Championship. People are never gonna let us live that down until we do. Not like it matters, though.

Not that we really care what others say but if achieving #1 seed isn't reason enough...anyone w/ sound judgement wld stop if we reach NBA Finals. I feel like losing in the ECF as #1 in the East wld make it worse.

#1 in spite of Spoelstra coaching and insane rotations and benching players who are hot
#1 in spite of Lowry taking vacation during the season
#1 in spite of Jimmy having so many “injuries”
#1 in spite of Bam getting eaten alive by elite big men and putting on his best Eddie Jones act by getting paid like an all star and playing like a role player.

If we had a real coach, we win 60+ games
If Lowry doesn’t go on vacation we win 60+ games
If Jimmy didn’t take so many nights off, we win 60+ games
If Bam manned up and played fearless, we win 60+ games

The Heat trainers coaches and players deserve congratulations for perseverance, planning execution and sustained success this season. This is a great accomplishment and shouldn't have its importance diminished. It say a lot about all the hard work these guys put in. Guys like Strus, Martin and Gabe really stepped up and seized the opportunity to show they can contribute. Everyone really did well. Herro deserves extra recognition for blocking the haters and playing his game. He is all business when it comes to basketball and it shows. He is going to be a coach/gm/president one day.

lol i was going to say most of this but I resisted. (Spo even last night back to his old ways riding bad lineups with no adjsutment, we were lucky to squeeze that one out.)

Lowry really has been in cruise mode but this last Month he has really changed gears. Vet move.
Bam just too nice. I want Bam to want to take peoples lunch on a nightly basis.
However we are where we need to be at this moment with lots of fresh bodies to take a real shot in the playoffs.

Bam needs to be a nice guy off the court. On the court he needs that Riley “don’t help your opponent up” mentality.
The tools are there, unfortunately the mental toughness and the will are not.

If Lowry delivers, all is forgiven but his vacays pissed me off

Still waiting for the part in bold… With bam, first it was he’s rusty back from injury, then it was the hand wrap making him play bad, both are gone and still excuses… how you gonna be DPOY when you get blown by on the perimeter and always bodied in the paint? Never deserved the money he’s on..
