2025 Miami Heat Regular Season Thread

[Hoops3355]

I doubt we make any serious moves, unless it's an exceptional deal or for the Greek God. Given the overall nature of the East and having 2 guys who if healthy can really take advantage of our new offense (Herro and Powell), I tend to think in Spo and FO believe we have enough but don't have the guy.

I think everybody thought that "the guy" would be Bam, we Just had to surround him and put him in the best situations to succeed...spo or The front office has gone the wrong way and worst thing is that they are sure they haven't... What can you do you win some and loose some... that is life.

Try and split the Cavs and Knicks games and then dog walk Jimmy that 5th game if we’ve got everyone back

How's it going, gentlemen? I haven't been able to catch any game so far this season. However, I keep hearing about this Heat new offensive system, but no idea what it is. What is the new game plan?

At full health, Miami can be a better version of the 2024-2025 Indiana Pacers, IMO. Miami just has more talent across its starting 5 than Indiana did, and Miami has a deeper, possibly better bench to boot.

That doesn't mean Miami makes the Finals, but I think Miami can beat anyone in the East in a 7-game series.

The Pacers last year is easily talented roster than us. They have more 2-way players across the board.

Yep that Pacers team was much better. They actually had a legit star PG and their player's games fit together better as well. Herro and Powell's games will overlap as they are both essentially 1 way players who can score but do little else. Besides the 2 way wings they had a big rim protecting Center who could shoot 3s and Siakam was really damn good as well.

And on top of all that even when it comes to coaching (I'm sure a lot of people would disagree with this here) but I'd take Carlisle over Spo.

[Wiltside]

I feel like the Pacers are trying to pull a Spurs 2.0.

Tank it out for a year while your star gets healthy and land a top 2-3 pick in the draft to pair with them going forward.

I can (potentially) agree that the Pacers' team fit better, but from an individual talent standpoint, I like Miami's group better. Regardless of which team ultimately is better, the 24-25' Pacers are a team Miami can model itself after.

As it should be.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Celtics trade Derrick White for a package and tank.
Pretty sure the Heat are the only team that pride themselves on making playoffs every year no matter what. We love a good 8th seed finish.

Herro was 17 in ppg and 10th in assists in the top 20 scorers. If he scored and does nothing else, so does most of the scorers, and he does nothing else better than half of them

Gonna watch a 1-9 team and say they had better pieces...if that piece is Hali then fine, but who are the rest and what are they doing now?...our problem is we kept running a dog crap system to suit an over the hill diva that worked for him when he felt like it and no one else

[MiamiLoyal926]

Given that our 3 arguably best offensive players have been missing games, with only a couple of games where 2 of the 3 played together… we are doing pretty good to start the season with one of the better offenses in the league… wild!!

Going to be fun to watch how the rest of the players perform when all of Herro, Powell, and Bam are in the rotation disrupting defenses and getting open looks for teammates. Hope JJJ continues to be ball dominant and helping collapse defenses for those three guys.

Herro did a good job putting up numbers on a bad team, his next step is being able to replicate that on a team that’s actually winning games within the flow of the offense and translate it to the playoffs. Time will tell.

It's "gritty".

Top of next years draft is looking stacked. Celtics and Pacers both seem set at wing positions. I wonder if next's years draft will have something similar to the Webber/Hardaway draft day trade involving Boozer and one of the wings (Peterson and Dybnasta).

I like Powell, but he will be 33 at the end of the season. Not sure about paying him until he's 37. Although I guess it depends on what else happens and if it could possibly be front loaded money wise.
