Don't despair, we have a (sort of) favorable schedule compared to bucks and hold the tie breaker.

MIL: LAC L, GSW L, LAL L, DEN W, BOS L, BRK W, NYK W, ORL W, PHI L (4:5 imo)
MIA: CLE L, CHI W, BRK W, ATL W, ATL L ,NYK W , OKC L, TOR W (5:3 imo)

It's embarrassing to be struggling like this with a capped out roster.

It's not like we're missing a superstar, just Dion.

Ain't really all that scared of the Raptors TBH. Is this team really any better than the squad we took to 7? I don't really think so

Playoff Wade going to be activated as hell. Might be the last time we see him as a big difference maker in this setting.

Also can't discount the below scenario

It's game 7 start of the 4th quarter. The Heat are staring down the barrel of the stretch run. The crowd in Toronto silents, fear builds, from the tunnel a man emerges. He's wearing number 11, it's Headache AKA Dion Waiters, and he's come to splash swaggy forced mid range jumpers in all their faces. He hits shot after shot, while screaming And 1 at the top of his lungs despite absolutely no contact. Heat win the super bowl.

HeatFanLifer wrote:So does Riley make any changes this offseason? I think we all know what the ceiling is on this team now. 2nd round at best.

Winslow is becoming a great trade piece. Also, even with that pricey bump in pay the next 2 years, TJ is showing he can be a starter, so he does have trade value too.

Speaking of starters, for a guy that trashed Embiid for being hurt too much, Whiteside sure is getting hurt a lot. Really needed him these past two games. Might be a good trade piece too? Especially if Bam comes around. Ship out Whiteside, Stsrt Bam, sign Willie Reed at backup C.


Start Willie as a starting C for the low and force Bam as a 4 next to Olynyk or Willie

Not a bad loss all things considered

Health or no health, the team is capped out and comprised of average and "we hope he can get to average" players. We're just not that good.

We're not some 55 win in prime ECF team that got struck down. We're pretty much where we should be. +/- a couple games

We're not much worse than teams 4-8 with much less talent/more or similar injuries on the year, if we could have Bosh, Whiteside and Waiters available then maybe we would near 55... This wasn't wholly and avoidable like you're suggesting
