I mean, this reminds me (to a degree) of when the Warriors (8th seed) knocked out Dallas (#1 seed) back in the day. I'm not trying to get ahead of myself here. Miami still has to win the series, and that is no easy feat. Even if Miami wins Game 5 and/or the series, the reality is Miami will have beaten a Milwaukee team that had its two stars at far less than 100%. On top of that, Miami has shot unreasonably well this series 54 fg% and 47 3pt% (versus 46% and 34%, respectively, for the season); even Duncan Robinson is shooting outrageously well by his standards: 15-22 (68%) 3pt in the last 3 games.

Miami will still be a team with ~$60M committed to Robinson, Oladipo, and Lowry next season.

Regardless of what happens the rest of the playoffs, Miami should be judged on the entire body of its season and not a single playoff series (against a hobbled #1 seed) or even a playoff run.

In the meantime, let's enjoy the playoffs.


This is quite ridiculous. Are we not missing Tyler Herro who is top 3 in scoring on this team? Are we not missing Oladipo. Are we not hobbled ourselves? Are we not the 8th seed this season? Is our team not filled w/ a bunch of un-drafted players? Do Bucks not have depth? You make it out like we're facing scrubs New York Knicks & we're the #1 seed. You got things hella twisted mate.

Furthermore In spite of what ever you think about how much we paid particular players we've still make less mistakes in a decade than plenty of teams in this league make in a season. Give me our mistakes any day if it means we're performing better than over 3/4' of the teams in the league & doing more w/ less. Besides we're currently getting our moneys worth w/ Duncan & Lowry off the bench has worked wonders. Dipo most agree was a worth while risk. We know now from reactions of latest injury he'es well loved here & we do not regret paying him.

Again, i run w/ our Org, coaches & FO. If we left it to arm chair experts they'd run this team to the dirt.


I think you're conflating a lot of things. Essentially you are using Miami's series against the Bucks -- again, 5 games -- to justify this very flawed team. If Miami had lost to Chicago or gotten swept by the Bucks or simply had lost to the Bucks as expected, you wouldn't have typed out a chest-beating I-told-you-so.

Making decisions based on a 5-game sample is not smart. Lots of people are calling for the Budenholzer to be fired or talking about how Giannis is overrated...etc, but no one was saying this ~a week ago.

The FO knows this roster needs to be improved and knows lost of money is being paid to guys who have severely underperformed. The FO has been trying to improve the roster (looking into trades for Harden, Durant, Irving, or Donovan Mitchell most recently), but Miami is short on assets and unwilling to overpay through bidding wars like some other teams have been. In that sense, I think we both agree we can trust the organization going forward.
