Atlanta Hawks @ Miami Heat - Tuesday 11/27, 7:30pm est

[dean456]

Crazy how much we suck, highest salary in the nba, are actually giving it our all out there and losing like scrubs lol. Let’s not pretend there is some tanking going on, we just legitimately suck.

Riley’s worst team EVER assembled by far

We are tanking the Heat way so we dont embarrass our team and its culture. We make it appear that we work hard on everything but unfortunately have a turnover or unfortumately miss the shot to the right or left.

Sure buddy, as much as I wish this was true, we just suck. Losing while trying as hard as possible lol to the hawks and other trash teams.

The real reason we suck? Forcing Jrich into this superstar type role which 1- he isn’t ready for, 2- doesn’t have it in him. He is an Avery Bradley type, nothing more nothing less. You want Avery Bradley types taking game winners? This is what you get.

Other reasons? Justise WinSlow. His 5ppg that Beasley could get us rolling out of bed high as **** after a long night out with 3 or 4 hookers.

Kelly olynick got paid due to contract year, now, as is the norm, back to sucking, off balance on his shots, no defense etc

Bam nothing to write home about

TJ, how can we forget about 50million dollar TJ.

Waiters, Warned every last one of you about Waiters and of course another 50million for you.

McGruder, just you wait, that’s another 50million dollar role player on the rise

DJJ, just you wait 50 million cold ones direct deposit soon from your Miami Heat role player lottery drawings

List goes on an on

What team you been following? You think just because TJ got a ridiculous contract we are going to start throwing them out to everyone? That contract was out of the norm for the Heat and likely wont happen again. I mean JRich is a pretty good example of that. 10mil per for 4 years when he was more productive than TJ ever was for us. TJ's contract was a couple of things, the salary cap was increasing more than it ever has which led to a lot of teams making bad signings, the nets ridiculous offer to him and Arison personally wanting him to return.

How is making JRich the focal point on offense not tanking? Sitting Dragic when theres nothing wrong with him. Having Whiteside still playing limited minutes even though hes playing more like the old Whiteside.

That may be so but it isn't set out like TJ's making it go 5.6mil/5.8mil/19.2mil/19.2mil in his third and fourth year. The max JRich is going to earn in his final year is only 11.6mil, so even if JRich under performs (which is unlikely) he will still have a tradeable contract.

There was no reason to extend Winslow, none. There was even less reason to pay Ricky Davis 2.0 when he had ankle surgery around the corner. There was no reason to pay MMA Johnson longterm when he was surviving fine moving from vet min to vet min. We're a bloody charity.

I believe the logic with th Winslow deal was that we're not getting any cap space untill 2020 anyway, because of the JJ/Dion/Hassan/TJ nightmares. So might as well overpay the kid and hope he makes a big jump and we keep him long term.

Not sold on tanking yet, need a couple of trades(Oly / Elli/ Gruder)

They aren't as bad as they look now. Still a 36-38 team

Believe in the tank. 3 years overdue.
