Miami gets blown out by 40 and now down 0-3. So when they say Heat culture what they really mean is Butler culture, correct?

I'm not too worried about them. They play somewhere where players like to play, they have a good coach, #2 option and a decent big man. Could be a lot worse.

I would be more worried for a team like Milwaukee if they lose Giannis.

You trade away your star player and get nothing significant back, that's what's going to happen.

At the same time, I don't blame them for not giving Jimmy the big contract he wanted. That Heat team hit their ceiling.

We have to pray Ingram goes back to 2 years ago version of him and/or a leap from RJ or Scottie. RJ with better FT shooting is already a considerably more efficient offensive player

Yeah I don’t think any of this is happening to be honest. Also looking at guys like Ant, Shai, Mitchell, Luka etc there’s just different levels of offensive player.

Don't they think Herro is their new hero?

I don't see it. They're capped out for a number of years, so FA isn't even a thing for a while and their assets aren't attractive. I doubt Jovic or JJJ are really needle-movers. Ware perhaps, but the whole point would be trying to keep guys like him if they're planning on competing. Otherwise, what do they have to deal without straight up just including Bam or Herro, which would just put them further behind anyway. Wiggins and Rozier are on crazy deals and no one is taking those contracts on. They still have to pay Davion. They're stuck.

Zubac holding back Aaron Gordon as if he's a teammate. Strange, he should have let Gordon go he might have done more and been ejected

Clippers missing open shots or they'd be tied or leading.

Refs are letting a lot of bumping by nuggets go uncalled

Wiggins wasn't actually too bad last year. He put up around 18/4/3 on 45% and 37% 3pt. They can probably find a team to take him.

The real problem is finding a way to dump Rozier on someone, which will be pretty impossible.

At least Herro and Bam are still relatively young. Herro's contract is pretty good value for his production.

I can never cheer for this Clippers team, their whole organization is just so skeezy to me. The only player I want to do well is Normgod, that's it.
