Remember that one time we scored 5 points in the 2nd half against the Warriors?

I strongly doubt we can conjure the magic for another run to the ECF.
I can't believe how long Herro has now been out for. Bloke has been out for over a month now. It has happened far too many times in his career to date. He needs to get back ASAP so we can start to build some reps with him before the play-in which we inevitably will be in.
I think we are going to have to suffer for about 6 more years as our team follows through with its off center system and injuries. At some point the friction will lead to a change.
I feel like we are a other iteration of the the 90s Heat where we tried a method that was excruciating to watch/follow.

As of now, this team goes as far as Jimmy drags it, and that's scary as a future outlook because this is the last year that I expect him to seriously be able to do it at a high level.
Jimmy is our alpha, so I don't disagree there, but JJJ and Jovic are not finished products. They're developing. Part of that is dealing with the warts and all that happens during a regular season as they work on their games in real time.
We might end up being one of those 'almost' teams. Sucks, but it is what it is at this point.
Def understand that they're still developing. But for me, I don't see the potential for them to be "big 3" caliber type of guys. I'd love if it works out that way, and as is, we may have to go with them regardless of whether we actually believe in them or not. But I think at best its a treadmill team.
You could see Anthony Edwards was on the trajectory he was on early. You could see it with SGA, with Ja, with Donovan Mitchell. I don't think any of our 3, good to even great in Bam's case as they may have the potential to be, have that trajectory to bank on.

If you plan on winning anything, you better get that alpha. Thats the only way to win it all. Its too bad, as we have a lot of pieces I like a lot.
For example, add Ant or Wemby to this team. My positive outlook goes through the roof

It doesn't help that the staff is so mum on wtf is actually the problem. I feel like any day now they're going to admit he sustained some season ending injury like they did with JRich. And all on that little ass hyperextension he had. At that point we can definitely just wrap the season up because we're thin enough as is in terms of scoring. Rozier ain't it, especially on his own, and we need other points of attack outside of Jimmy. Bam is there but its still not his strongest suit and I think we work even better with him as a finisher anyway.

Oh for sure they don't have that kind of ceiling. Both Niko and JJJ have above average NBA starter potential, I wouldn't say All-Star or All-NBA calibre. Peak Niko could be a 14/7/4 type guy, JJJ maybe a 17/5/4?
Our best chance to add a player of that ilk is more than likely via trade when someone gets disgruntled. We had our chance with Dame and phucked it, simply can't miss next time the opportunity strikes. It may not be in Jimmy's timeline, but if you added a legit 1A offensive option to Bam and a developed Jovic and JJJ, that's a solid 4 players to work around as the next iteration of Heat ball. Either that, or they become trade options to get players who fit even better.

I still cant get over how casual Heat are in these games. No urgency at all.

Are u freaking stupid or just not listening? Some of us want them as the core players of the future, NOT BIG THREE of the future!!!

Besides two of them are basically just starting their career. Don't base their future w their current play

I swear this team just wants the 7th seed to have a matchup with the Bucks. Spo and Jimmy are tanking so hard

i feel that too but circumstances happen. After watching the Gators and Dolphins get bounced early I dont want Heat thinking they can just turn it on when they want.
