The culture has become being the smallest, most lack luster, inefficient, no D playing team in the NBA.

you cant have herro rozier jovic defenders to close out games. and bam cant be your center closing out a game just not going to cut it. Starting 5 just aint it.

yeah ty herro for your effort but even then you are not a star material because you cant carry a team on your shoulders the same can be said of bam and an aging jimmy b.

its gonna be a looong season unless jimmy is traded for a better player which i doubt it will happen. this team is poorly constructed as is.

FO is either blind or this is the best that they could do for some reason

This “new look offense” if that’s what you want to call it clearly isn’t working

If Jimmy plays aggressive from the jump we probably win this game.

Ware, Keldon Johnson, Larsson, Christopher, and Stevens probably be giving this starting unit a run for it's money in practice but Spo is so dug in with his non sense that we won't see them as we continue to troll in being a play in team

Bam got waxed by KAT. I expected Butler cuz of age to be a little worse but Bam gotta be better than he was last year. I mean just 3 rebounds in 33 min. As for Butler, give Houston a call and lets get that trade rolling.

All the standing around when the handler drives to the rim drives me crazy

Somebody, anybody,needs to cut to the inside every now and again

The Heat's best players are screen setters on offense.

Bam was making threes in the Olympics and in the post season . Season starts and shooting worse than shaq on 3s. Hes been god awful so far . Playing like how he did vs bucks in the PO 2 years ago.

More succinctly, you cannot have Pat Riley assembling a roster. He so falls in love with his decisions, that these players can get worse as time goes on, and he will never second guess his own decision to acquire them. :banghead:

Swap Rozier out with Larsson and we're winning it all.

Butler letting Dru Smith take the ball down and then try to create the last shot of the 3rd quarter is pretty FU. Butler's protesting and this isn't going to get him an extension in Miami, he's looking to be traded to a team that's willing to give him an extension.

Its time to move on from Smith. Gotta let either Christopher or Larsson play point. Smith has no lift or strength in his foot.

Honestly this all falls on the front office as years of poor building around Bam and Butler and refusal to go with more traditional lineups and seeking a defensive identity from the coaching staff has left us with this chit product.
