I don't know about you guys

I know we have a middle of the run team, With a Good to great coach and a few Good to great players...

But come on guys give it up... heat are crushing expectations About the competitive heart And I don't think I can call them a bit Lucky anymore

Oh No do not start with this.....last night was great but this season was absolutly brutal to watch, very taxing on the fandom. The only way we get redemption of anh kind would be to win this series and make as far as thr ECF. It means theres a remote slight posibility of Jimmy coming back and the boyz held up long enough for him to lace it up again. That would be insane to be honest, ehich is why its going to be hard for them to make me forget about the regular season.

I notice when the Celtics just brick a sheitload of 3s and turn their offense into just the "Tatum and Brown show", they lose. Hope the Heat can keep the Celtics off the 3 pt line in Game 3 as well as keep playing smart but efficient basketball.

On a side note, is it just me or does the Heat subreddit suck ass?

splitting those two guys with them taking turns makes their offense look how our does, when Jimmy, Bam, Herro take turns each but don't play withing each other or including each other in the play. Its why that works, your taking away the flow and only have to shut down one at a time, rather easy when you can focus in like that as a defense.
