Fun season either way, but we can keep this series going if we bring our A-game...especially with our MVP back on the court

I agree a big game from Randle is our best shot. Especially with Brunson likely running on fumes. Quietly, Julius has turned it around this series. He's up to almost 46% FG for the series and near 60% TS. He may have finally figured out this whole playoffs thing.

He was looking way better last game. When he and Brunson are "on" the whole team takes on a confidence and intensity that is fun to watch.

Yeah. The one disappointing thing about this run is that we didn't get to see this team firing on all cylinders for any extended time. Julius got better as the postseason wore on, but he still never got back to the form he was in in March...when it felt like he would have 15pts by the end of the 1st quarter in every other game.

Hopefully we're back next year with a few more tweaks and can build on this performance :wordyo:

Had to run out for the second half and wasn't watching the first half too closely, so I will need to rewatch this one at some point...but kudos to Miami for holding on and I'll be rooting for Jimmy in the next round. Was a tough series, that both teams will feel they were too sloppy and didn't shoot well enough, in. Will be curious to see how these teams change over the offseason and how that might affect a rematch next spring.

Wish we were still playing, but hard not to be proud of this young team that had very little playoff experience before this season and was predicted by most to top out as a play-in team. We still lack a true title-caliber #1 and swapping Toppin for a more positional versatile 3&D guy like Pat Williams / Cam Johnson / DFS would solidify the rotation...but there's still a lot of room for internal growth from Barrett, Grimes, & Quickley; so this should be a great learning experience.

Only thing that I really would have liked to have gone differently was Randle's injury. Julius starting the postseason hobbled wasn't the reason we got bounced...we just didn't shoot well enough and we were simply too sloppy against a very well-coached veteran team...but I wish we had gotten to see how this team did when firing on all cylinders, and Randle had gotten to prove himself to the critics the way Barrett has this postseason.

Shame the rides over, but that was a ton of fun and I'm very excited for next season.

You would think after being in this position multiple times recently, some of these Heat fans posting stuff would know how to act like they've been there before.. jeez.

I’m not a Floridian or live in Florida, I just loathe the Knicks.

Ya we got Knick fans in here telling off all Heat fans and one pervert in particular who can only talk about how he wants to get sucked off by guys. A mod came in here and said he wasn't going to ban any of them so I think Heat fans have nothing to worry about, we've been pretty tame and kept it related to basketball and having the better team in comparison to that crying dumb*** :lol:

Congrats on a great season and definitely something to build on.

Mod voice: Yo. All y'all please dial back the taunting and whining and general poor sportsmanship. I know you're trying to get under the other fanbases' skin but mostly what you're doing is making yourselves look bad and giving the mods a headache lol. I don't really feel like seeing numerous reports and babysitting this thread all day. Violations are subject to strikes and suspensions. And the thread is on course to get locked. Please and thank you.

Non-mod voice: Also, Congrats Heat fans! Heat are playing great and I'm very impressed.

I’m a Phins fan, so I know the feeling. The Knicks and Phins are like distant cousins, with each having last won it all in 1973 and now both being on the ascent. I wouldn’t wish long-term sports misery on anyone. I’m just fooling around a little bit. :beer:

Two people breaking the rules doesn't make the 2nd one cancel it out. :lol:

If it did I'd be going at some of the dumb comments in this thread.
