Miami Heat Regular Season Thread 21-22 Vol. 3

[greg4012]

You’re 100% a Herro/Yurt stan while being a Bam hater. As weird as it may be those are the facts

I Can’t be a Herro or yurt stan when I’ve said multiple times I don’t care if they go or stay. I do recall saying multiple times trade yurt elsewhere and said if Herro stayed and got maxed and played with no defence I’d be the first to tear him apart…I don’t hate bam I just say he’s not worth the money he’s getting… you on the other hand put him on a pedestal as best defender in the world, top 3 big in the league, best this best that. If bam got traded you would follow him to the new team… Duncan is not worth the money he’s on, lowry isn’t worth the money he’s on, butlers contract is hanging by a thread and looking bad… call me a hater all you like.. don’t give 2 **** what u think

I wouldn’t follow Bam lmao, he’s not even my favorite player on the Heat you all just say such outlandish dumb **** I feel the need to comment on it.

You add nothing of substance in your discussions and nothing you ever say is backed by anything, just a bunch of nonsense. Sit this one out.

Ignore feature is useful. Trust me on this one

Another day, another Herro/Bam chitfight

A total waste of time. These posters here can be a drag with that and that sammysucksTS (transexual?) Poster brings that toxic waste in here so much I've lost the will to read any of it.

The rational Heat followers are trying to win a title now. Bam and Herro, Butler and Lowry can all be traded, so fn what. The trade deadline passed already. So dumb. Time to win together or go home

Heat are in first place but reading these fools you would think they were out of the hunt.

Still a full blown troll I see, how’s your gf?

[QUIZ]

To be fair, I think people are going full tilt because they don't trust this team.

A couple of things that stand out that cause our fan base not to trust this team:

1. We are a first seed, not on track to hit 60+ wins which is usually the cut off for 74% winning percentage for a guarantee at a title.
- We are on track for 50-54 wins, so were on the low end of first seeds in the history of wins.
- A testament to how great the Eastern conference is, which means this significantly drops our chances and makes the path that
much more difficult.

2. Our offensive point differential for a first seed is not favorable, which means we struggle to put teams away.
- This is part to do with our inability to close out games in the 4th when coming from behind or playing tight.
- Our starters are constantly lacking offensive fire power, and too many games more than half actually the bench saves us.
- In the playoffs where teams focus on our weaknesses our issues will be magnified, and the rotations shortened which means
less
bench minutes for our shooters who are a necessary part of our offensive game.

3. We are only as good as our collective, which means any one of Bam, Jimmy, Tyler don't bring it means we will struggle.
- We also need our three point shooters to hit because it actually makes our offense flow correctly, we don't have a go to half
court execution when our team isn't hitting threes.
- We don't have a superstar who can close out the game when we need a bucket, at least not yet. Jimmy is not that guy
anymore, and Tyler can only do it depending on matchup.
- We have not been so overwhelmingly dominant to scare other teams, right now teams actually want to match up with us.
- During some of the moments our main players have been injured our supporting players have played above their limitations
and produced at levels were seeing them come back to earth now which masked some of those wins.

4. Somebody made a comparison the other day that had me thinking, said were so similar to the Indiana Pacers we played against
during the Lebron, Wade, Bosh days.
- I thought about it, and realized this is very close, we have a collective of talent who when playing together is dangerous but
will never have the overwhelming offensive talent to win it all.
- We are not the san Antonio spurs or the Detroit pistons who went on to win it.
- I hope I'm wrong, and were gonna put this all together, but right now even in wins the confidence is not there.

Yeah i think a lot of people feel the same way, we honestly dont trust this team and have that nagging feeling that depending on the matchup we are out in the first round but if it all clicks and everything goes perfect maybe we get to the finals. As for the 4th quarter that’s when our stars are suppose to stand out, last night Butler scored a whole 2 points in all the 4th. Again its that nagging feeling about this team.

Nothing really has changed. We all thought this to start the season. Heat were not the favs to win the East but had a shot if everything falls right for them like it did in the bubble. It's just hard to get to the finals when you don't have that bonafide top 10 offensive talent.
But I wouldn't freak out. The standings are still in Heat's favour. If we can avoid Nets, Bucks, Sixers in the 1st two rounds, I like our chances of getting to the ECF. But if we were to play Nets or Bucks earlier, I think we'd loose a hard fought series. On sixers, I kinda don't trust Harden or DOC so I'd favor Heat slightly. But I'm not going to get pissed if we loose to any of those 3 teams, they just have better talent than we do

I agree with this take. Because of how well this team has played it suddenly changed expectations. Absolutely nobody, not even Heat fans predicted that we’d be a 1st or a 55ish win team before the season started. I think most people would’ve said a successful regular season would be if we finished 3rd behind the Nets and Bucks. Clearly we overachieved in that sense in a major way.

I get why people want to poke holes but we should all have perspective regarding where this team is and where we thought it would be, especially considering the fact that Bam has freaking hand surgery mid season and even that didn’t stop us from chugging along.

My take is that we’re an older team, some guys look tired and/or bored of the regular season. Hell we all as fans are also bored. For all the worries about this team offensively I think too many fans ignore the fact that we have another gear defensively which we’ll get to come playoff time.

8 games into the year when we were going all out and Jimmy was going full middle line backer we were on pace to have the best defense in the last 30 years. That’s going to come back out come playoff time and it’s why I believe in this team.

I back everything I say with some form of statistic and whatever else is needed to back my point. Short-sighted and misguided is the nonsense spewed about Yurt and Herro. It’s fine though. We’ll be seeing ya

3ammy, buddy, I appreciate your hot takes, but have you taken a moment to truly reflect on what you say on these boards? I am trying to be kind here and say this with care. You seem to always be on either the attack or defensive. It is ok to have different opinions, and it is ok to be wrong at times. Most importantly, not all things have to be in extremes.

Just because we do not agree with your take on Bam does not imply we think he sucks. Just like when the forum is high on Herro, it does not mean we think he is the next Wade for the franchise. There are grey areas in-between, and more often than not, that is where the realities exist, not in these extremes being argued.

I rarely write in this forum, and yet I always feel attacked when I read your posts… which are replies to things I didn’t even write. Moral of the story, a little reflection before clicking “submit” goes a long way!

But what’s a hot take about me saying Bam is the best defender in the world, or Bam is one of the best centers in the league when he’s currently the favorite for DPOY based on the odds and he gets nothing but major praise from other coaches/players/executives around the league? If there was a draft today he wouldn’t fall lower than the 5th picked center in the league, is that not elite?

What about that is a hot take? His PPG isn’t as high as some of you want and it’s about the only thing Herro has going for himself so PPG is basically the gospel on here.

I’ll stop entertaining the debates and the nonsense I see on here but nothing I post isn’t backed by the numbers or as I stated for DPOY, the betting odds. Sometimes it just doesn’t fit the narrative some of you have

I figured you out when i defeated you with facts on the game and you promptly disappeared and never replied.

Anyways, good luck with whatever it is you are trying to accomplish here. I suspect trolling and keeping the convo going for the angry miserable elders. They respond well to that sort of thing.

When did you “defeat me with facts” lmao?

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Damn we really grinded all season to get the 1st seed for the first time post big 3 era to face 2 of the most, if not the most pure scorer/clutch players in the world in the first round in KD and Kyrie.

Kyrie has been cleared to play in Brooklyn after Thursday so no more restrictions on him. He can play all 7 games against us.

During the trading deadline talk. Anyways, whatever. I see you're on to your next narrative chapter. As you were.

I really doubt they lose the first play-in game. I'm sure they want revenge on the Bucks and doubt they would duck them by throwing a play-in game.

I hope you’re right. That first game could be in Toronto where I believe Kyrie can’t play

I’m sure this sent some posters into a fury, especially the particular one who literally makes up narratives shamelessly to blame Spo.

Stop calling out sensitive posters who blame the coach absolutely maximizing the talent level on this team? No, I don’t think I will.

[Shewasfly]

Probably a very big long shot (Washington has no reason to do it tbh), but I wonder if they'd consider Beal for Jimmy swap if Beal demanded out? That would give us a very nice future of a Beal-Bam-Herro big 3. And Jimmy on their team would cure some of their huge leadership problems.
