I hate the heat so much. Go away fuckers
This is exactly how I felt about Tom Brady and the patriots for like two continuous decades. Like ok Tom we get that you’re the GOAT can you please just like, go away now?
I totally see that. I probably would have despised him just like I’m starting to despise Mahomes if I wasn’t a pats fan. I’m so glad I got to watch him for my whole life, he’ll be my favorite athlete for all time
The feeling is mutual
Yeah I don’t know who this “some people never learn” is directed at but it ain’t the Celtics fans.
I will fear this team u til I see Jimmy butlers body out into his grave
1/5 of the league is 10-5 lol, a bit too early for the I told you so's.
When will you learn
Herro is never beating the “team is better without him” allegations
Let’s gooo
They don't even got Herro back yet since he's been out for a couple games damn they're taking off running this season.
The 4 game losing streak was pretty much just a processing thing. They had moments of looking good In those games it was more so Jimmy didn’t play a game, Bam didn’t play. Then figuring stuff out
Haywood Richardson Martin Butler Bam all dealt with injuries at the start of the season
We always look like shit in the first few games, like the yearly meltdown against the magic
The Magic are good this year so maybe we can actually beat them now.
Couple of games? He has been out for weeks
Hes been out for the last 10 games, 9 of which were wins
Duncan Robinson is back. Bro needs to drop a podcast now
Give the man a break, he can’t be celebrating his birthday and podcasting at the same time
"Hello Everyone! Welcome back to the Happy Birthday Duncan Podcast, with your host Duncan Robinson."
He played very well last playoffs.
Magic are 10-5 too…
Neither record is real. These teams have just had easy schedules
Comparing the Heat to the Magic is dangerously stupid, holy shit
You’re right, Magic have way more upside whereas the Heat have very clearly hit their ceiling
I’ve heard the Magic have had upside for over 20 years. I’m more inclined to believe they’ll screw up this batch of talent as they do with all their young talent.
Uh huh. Let's go with that.
Aside from that, the Heat have arguably the best coach in the league, two players that are much better than the Magic's best player, and have consistently shown their hot starts aren't flukes by actually making the postseason and regularly making deep playoff runs.
I don’t see a ring. Heat ain’t anything special.
Same can be said about the Celtics and Sixers lol bozo take
Nah you don’t know
Oh the irony
Their schedule hit a super easy stretch right when they needed it to regain their footing and they took advantage of it. Good for them.
Road games, and Bostons schedule has been easy too
Yeah I have no problem with the Heat at all. My problem is with OP jerking it because the Heat beat teams who want to lose.
You seem stressed
Duncan is back, Haysmith is showing up, JJJ is really proving himself and Bam took a step forward - I still think we should move Tyler (great player, clearly took a step up, but his offensive style does seem to clash with the team), but at the same time we can afford to wait for the right offer
This post is confusing to me. Why are you saying they’re a play-in team while also saying how good they are?
The Heat is not a contender, at best a play-in team
They've had the most success by far out of any team in the East since Jimmy arrived there, 2 Finals and another CF in 4 years, and people are really still acting like they're not contenders.
The East runs through Miami until proven otherwise
Y'all keep upvoting this bot lol
This is just a bunch of nonsense. The Heat had some detractors, but by in large they were talked about all offseason as a top-4 team in the East. All summer people were talking about who the playoff teams were after MIL, BOS, & MIA.
Several national media basketball guys said they may not even be a play in team because they “lost 2 starters” from their finals team. Several. This year’s Heat team is significantly deeper.
Several. Oh well. Now who could argue with several.
I mean, I've person after person after person after person talk about the Heat as the 3rd best team in the East all summer. But I can't argue with several.
They were widely regraded as a strong team in the Eastern conference. Several detractors does not make up that wide majority.
Teams like Philly and Dallas - those teams were routinely dismissed by the media. The Heat weren't.
Don't make this into an issue that didn't really exist.
I mean, the downvotes tell the story. “Widely regarded as a top 4 seed” is patently false.
Here were the storylines for the Heat all summer….
“Heat fail to acquire Dame and fail the off-season.”
“Heat don’t make any moves and lose 2 Finals starters.”
“Heat have no assets.”
“They may not be a play in team with these losses and failure to bring in more talent.”
Check Marc Spears, Kevin O’Connor, Bleacher Report or any of the guys with national shows save for maybe Nick Wright.
With 9 different starting lineups, the most in the young NBA season
I’m impressed they have done well, especially after the start and losing Herro..but the wins haven’t really been against the best competition. Lots of mid or straight up bad teams.
Keep it up and start beating some top playoff teams and I’ll be right there with you.
