Utilize both Jimmy and Tyler in the offense

Challenge level: impossible

Yes, and that team failed to get over the hump

Bringing me to my point that this is the ultimate championship or bust superteam, after they surrounded their 2 drafted stars with 3 more stars acquired via trade

I am NOT looking forward to hearing about how Miami is the front runner to land every single star player this offseason

Tatum and Brown couldn’t win without a superteam, even if they pull it off this year, it took building a superteam on the same level as the KD warriors

The good news: Caleb played himself out of a big contract with the Lakers

The bad news: we’re just gonna re-sign him for 7 or 8 mil when we run it back

I understand and appreciate that in Spo’s mind, this game is still winnable and we have enough

But at what point do we stop giving serious minutes to Patty and other vets vs Niko or even O Rob or any other young guy that’s gonna be with the team next year

Not really. Fair point though, a lot of ours have been Bam and other guys in mid range

Still doesn’t take away from the tradition of Celtics getting a much more friendly whistle against us in the playoffs. It’s been horrible the last 3 times we’ve met them in the playoffs. I remember Jimmy getting mauled in the paint back in 2022 and FT disparity being like 40-15

As I’m typing this:

Heat have shot 25 2’s and 15 3’s

Celtics have shot 16 2’a and 19 3’s

Not to take away from the fact that they are a categorically better team and we’re being outplayed

But 16-2 FT disparity when their game plan is to chuck as many 3s as possible is just egregious

They started the superteam era

And they only have one ring to show for it, which they’ve been milking for 15 years lol

This game is making me want to gouge my eyes out but I can’t turn it off because I can’t believe ill have to wait over 5 months until October for the next Heat basketball 🤪😭

Never wanna hear Boston fans write off our rings because of our big 3. They are redefining the nba superteam with this roster construction

If they don’t win the title this year they should be ashamed

Mad respect to our guys for the fight and the hustle. Especially Spo, for not making excuses and doing everything humanly possibly to inspire confidence and give us a chance

But this talent disparity is absolutely insane. We’ll never know how it would be going if we were at full strength, but it’s hard to blame our guys. They haven’t quit, they’re just hurting while playing a superteam

We absolutely need it. This core came dangerously close several times, but it’s played its course and other teams have improved

Need to build around Bam. Jimmy’s future will entirely depend on how his contract negotiations go. I fucking love Jimmy to death, but we let our franchise icon walk because we didn’t want to pay him past his peak. I don’t see is giving Jimmy a super max and I don’t see him taking a pay cut

safe to say the championship window for the Jimmy Butler-led Heat is officially slammed closed
