2nd round ceiling. How many years Riley got left?
It should be obvious to everyone as it is to me.... this team is a 2nd round exit at best. I doubt we reach the ECF, and we sure as hell ain't making it outta the East.
Wade just watches people blow past him now, he can no longer play D, and his knees are shot. The team is still too new, and won't have elite level teamwork and passing to make up for the old legs out there. Then we have our mediocre coach who won't ever win us a series through superior strategic thinking. Then we got a bunch of slow limping old vets out there.
It's another wasted season. Riley might even just retire after this year cause this team is going nowhere. Wade's done, and Bosh is out there with a possible career ending blot clot that could pop up again at any moment, like it did again this year. I think it's possible Chris Bosh is hiding that he caught HIV bug.
It's time to blow it up. Once upon a time I would say Wade retires in a Heat uni, no matter what, but after what he pulled this past summer, I don't even care anymore. Start over. Riley will retire, but it is what it is. We're holding on to a bad situation.

We've won 3 games in a row, stop crying because we aren't contenders and just enjoy the Heat play.

Re: 2nd round ceiling. How many years Riley got left?
Perfect time to put this I guess:
Reading this quote especially the red part, I just can't stop smiling. You know if anyone would go out with a bang, it would be Pat **** Riley, bruh.
### Pat Riley hasn't spoken to South Florida media in the past couple of weeks, but his comments to the team's web site Tuesday made it clear that he doesn't want to pay a luxury tax this season, with the tax far more onerous for repeater teams -- which Miami was positioned to be this season before dropping below the tax threshold.
“You’ve got to really see the big picture in where you are,” Riley said. “From 2014 to this point, once LeBron [James] left, we had some decisions to make. We had always been looking at 2016 and 2017. Just like back in 2006 we looked at 2010. That’s where our mind is. We want tremendous flexibility. We don’t want to be constrained by any repeater tax. 2016 and 2017 have become the new 2010.
“What happens in ’16 and ’17, are the next two years of being able to build this team back to a championship contender. That’s our goal. That’s my goal.”

The whole Wade lets players blow by him hasn't been true in about a year. He's played good D this season.

I am just surprised that Wade hasn't signed for the vet's min in Cleveland already.

Why in the world would you be smiling? If anything thats the most depressing thing. This year is out because Durant is not coming so you already lost half of our rebuilding cycle. And in order to keep the space for 2017 you are forced to sign one year deals. I dont see how this is a good thing? Thats not even touching the Bosh situation or the lack of draft picks we have.

I think it's possible Chris Bosh may have the bug. also known as HIV.

How am I entitled, brah? I've been a Heat fan since 1998. I've sat through the losing years, the heart breaks, and enjoyed the sweet success of the winning years, including 2006.
I'm just a realist. The goal of a team is to win a championship. And we aren't going to do that. It's over. We need to blow it up and start again.
And I don't see Wade or Bosh as a part of that picture. Wade's knees are shot, and I think Bosh may have caught HIV.
It's time to start over with a young team, why waste more time?

I'm 100% serious. I pray and hope that I am wrong, and it's not what I am thinking. But pneumonia in Bosh's situation is a big sign that he might have got the bug. There isn't a more suspect player in the whole of the NBA than Chris Bosh. Look at how skinny he has gotten.
And I say this as a big Bosh supporter, I hope I am wrong. But I think his career is done.

Re: 2nd round ceiling. How many years Riley got left?
Why do the Mods continue to allow OP to speculate that Bosh is HIV positive in every thread? Its bordering on spam, I just read the same crap from him in 3 different threads.
