The 2023 Heat were one of the weakest fluke conference champions in league history.

The only way you get back to the finals involves injuries or key players being out due to imprisonment, assassination or other such circumstances.
How is it a fluke if they been in the ecf 3/4 years ?
 
How many times have I packed Lowry up?

How many times have you packed Butler up or Spo? Butler has had bad games this season. Let me guess Spo has never made a bad coaching decision. :lol: You've never shown a propensity to examine the players and coaches you actually like with nuance. Being a homer and a fan is two different things. You don't even have to watch the games to be a homer. You don't come across as someone who does. :dunno:

One of those doesn't count and you know it.

Making it to the conference finals isn't the discussion... That's a big shifting of the goal post.

My expectation is get back to the finals
Get there then you have a shot

My expectation is a blowjob from Beyonce tonight as J-Lo sucks on my balls while Ronda Rousey gives me a back massage.

Equally likely to happen as the scenario you describe.

Jimmy has been injured multiple times this year
And he frequently gets off to slow starts
He's still at his averages
:dunno:
What can I critique spo about?
Guys are having career years

So the bubble doesn't count even though we beat the same teams after the bubble?
The Bostons and Milwaukees
We were a jimmy 3 from 3 finals remember?
Oh that's right because they have more "star power" they get the benefit.

Bron is at his averages, starts slow, etc. doesnt stop you from pointing out his bad games. And he's actually won championships before. Butlers bad games at the start of the season weren't due to injuries. That's an excuse. They're a 7th seed, why doesn't the best coach have them higher? You simply aren't engaged with the Heat like that which is why your expectations are so low. You don't even care about them winning it all. :lol: And then when we say the Heat are not a successful franchise like that, you push back. You watch the NBA simply to see LeBron lose and fake support a team to pretend that you don't. Hella fans do this, Gil literally just discussed this. :yes:

Seeding doesn't matter
We were just the 4th seed 2 days ago lol

Winning doesn't matter, that's why Spoelstra is an overrated coach. If he was as good y'all say you would be confident in winning a chip. You're not tho. :lol:

In one breath everything is good and Spo is the best coach, next breath just winning a conference Finals (same thing you did last year) is your ceiling. Something not adding up.

You never know what's going to happen once you get there.
We're good enough to win
Injuries happen though
Take the bubble, if dragic and bam were healthy I think we would have won.
Last year, Denver was just rolling. Not sure anyone was stopping them.

Fans who watch every game and live and die by their team don't talk like this. I always said most LeBron haters are casual fans of the sport. You can't be a student of the game and hate LeBron James.

Former Wizards guard Ryan Rollins charged amid shoplifting allegations​


Recently waived Washington Wizards guard Ryan Rollins has been charged with multiple counts of petit larceny in Virginia, according to court documents obtained by The Washington Post.​
The charges stem from accusations that Rollins, 21, repeatedly shoplifted less than $1,000 worth of goods from a Target store in Alexandria, according to the Athletic, which first reported the news Thursday evening. The alleged thefts occurred seven times in a two-month period between September and November, when Rollins was a member of the Wizards’ roster.​
The team waived him Monday night.​
Rollins is scheduled to have a court hearing early next month and has not yet entered a plea. Petit larceny is a Class 1 misdemeanor in Virginia and is punishable by a fine of up to $2,500 and up to 12 months in jail.​
...​
Rollins arrived in Washington over the summer as part of a trade package that sent Chris Paul to the Golden State Warriors and also brought guard Jordan Poole, forward Patrick Baldwin Jr. and two future draft picks to the Wizards. The 6-foot-3 guard, a second-round draft pick out of Toledo in 2022, was praised for his potential as a defender upon arrival but played sparingly this season, averaging 6.6 minutes in just 10 games.​


The Warriors to Wizards pipeline may be cursed...

I hope Patrick Baldwin is doing okay!
 
I watch every heat game

Maybe the box scores. There's no way you're watching every game of a 7th seed with 0 complaints. It's just not believable anymore. You're a LeBron hater that pretends to care about the Heat to downplay being a LeBron hater. :lol: If the Heat lose in the first round you will post about some other team in the playoffs and just root for the Lakers to lose like you've done before. That's not real fanhood of the Heat. People that actually go to the games and get upset when they lose are real fans. :dunno:

What am I going to complain about, they've had a ton of injuries and they are still right there.
Go look at the records of the other teams that have as many injuries as us.

Missed opportunities to win games for a higher seed, a blowout loss to the Clips. It's plenty to be upset about if you actually watch the games and hang on every play like the real fans. But just checking box scores and saying I'll pay attention when the playoffs roll around, it's hard to speak on specific games and moments with nuance. Do you consider yourself a diehard Heat fan?

I just don't believe you do. You never talk about specific games and only highlight the wins after the fact. You were celebrating the Spurs rookie early in the season and didn't even know who the hell your teams was, now you his biggest fan? You don't come across as someone that cares like that. Dubs been struggling all year, I can see how upset that makes largebills and Kobstanza. Theyre not on this "whatever we right there" excuse you on. If Kerr became the first 100 mill head coach, they would demand he win it all. There's a difference in being an engaged fan and being a casual homer.

Can you at least admit you're a bigger hater of LeBron James than you are a fan of the Miami Heat? He's that great fam.
 
Imagine putting a poster on ignore and begging people not to talk with him for months, but he still gets more engagement and responses from your e-buddies than you do. :lol: You don't have to put REDLINE on ignore cuz he don't be talkin bout shit anyway. :dunno:
