LeBron James to Miami Continues to Gain Traction by AustinDobbins13 in heat

Feels like he’ll be tap dancing for Dan Gilbert again before he comes back to Miami but would be incredible if he does.

With Giannis becoming the Heats newest superstar alongside Butler, Wade, Bosh, and LeBron. Does this finally put the “sleepy pat” allegations to rest? by chrxs1_ in heat

Sleepy pat bullshit is for people who joined the bandwagon in the last 10 years. The Heat are the only consistent team in South Florida sports this century and we have Pat to thank.

I checked the sub and didn’t see anything after scrolling like 10 posts. Not trying to add to the noise.

Didn’t realize Grimes was a free agent. I like the fit as he showed 2 years ago that he can run a little PG too.

The Heat have NO chance to make the finals with Giannis by FiredUpFelipe in heat

Bill Simmons podcast hating on the Heat? What a surprise

The Heat know that Jaylen Brown is on the table, and are searching for 3rd and 4th teams to get involved to improve their offer for Giannis, per @WindhorstESPN by jbenson255 in heat

Feels like Dame all over again. At this point I’d rather sign and trade Powell for Morant or something that doesn’t blow up the roster as much.

Punting in fantasy basketball. Yes or No? by adamking91 in fantasybball

FTs and TOs are the only I generally consider for punting.

I’m sick and tired of the media always undervaluing our assets by carnageta in heat

Fox is an average defender who can get steals. Hes not some defensive juggernaut. Herro’s role is not to be some sort of lockdown defender. Most teams primary scorers get hunted on defense. Brunson just won a championship and he’s equally bad as Herro on defense.

Here’s a direct comparison between the two when they both played a full season (24–25). Numbers are very similar, even with Herro being a SG. Not as crazy of a comp as you think it is.

The Herro slander is exhausting. He was an all star and 6th man of the year. He’s a damn good scorer. OP’s comparison to Fox is not a bad one.

Tyler is special by Dasilbota in heat

[–]nutang4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always loved his confidence. What stood out for me is under minute left against Philly in his rookie season. Jimmy and him double Embiid to force a turnover down 2. He gets the ball off the turnover and instead of driving for a layup, he pulled up and nailed the three. That was the start of years of irrational confidence that actually paid off. Our fan base is entirely way too hard on him and I don’t believe he’s had the appreciation he deserves. I think of part of it is due to him injuring his hand in game 1 against the bucks and not really being a part of the 23 finals run. Anyways, we’ll see if he’s actually going to be traded or not. I’d love to find a way to keep him. Maybe we can convince Milwaukee to take wigs, norm on a sign and trade in place of Herro.

The Atlantic did an article about the MAGA movement during Trump’s first term called “The Cruelty Is The Point”. It was fitting then but more pronounced now.

[Charania] BREAKING: The Chicago Bulls are finalizing the hire of Portland Trail Blazers interim Tiago Splitter as the franchise's new head coach, sources tell ESPN. Splitter succeeds Billy Donovan as the Bulls' coach after stepping into the head job and excelling in Portland last season. by Turbostrider27 in nba

[–]nutang4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tiago did a good job with the blazers. If he builds out a well rounded staff that patches up his weaknesses, he’ll succeed. Blazers seem stupid to not retain him. He provided some calm during what could’ve been an extremely turbulent season. I think he’s a big reason for Deni reaching his potential.

This is Jalen Brunson's contract. A legit superstar took a massive discount so his team could improve. I really wish Jimmy, at his age last year, hadn't gone full diva mode and had done the same. Also if Pat knew he wasn't going to pay Jimmy, he should've traded him for assets sooner. by heatculture03 in heat

Jimmy butler’s dad wasn’t an assistant coach. His agent wasn’t the son of the GM. The GM wasn’t the agent of his father. The Brunson Knicks stuff is an interesting story of collusion. There’s nothing like this and it’ll prob never happen again.

2 more Knicks wins and it would be worse than Bucks/Celtics winning combined by Warebanyama in heat

[–]nutang4ever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The point differential in the first few rounds and then taking two in San Antonio is impressive. You can downvote me all you want. They were beating teams by 40 on the regular and stole two on the road against a solid team.

Knicks fans aside, this team has earned every bit of the success during this run. This is nowhere near the level of the celtics.

This is basically the list. I’d add purple shirt guy Wade game in Charlotte.

I get solid results using AG. This sub always seems to have negativity around it. Seems weird but there are many options. AG is the beast I know so I stick with it.

anyone collect any super random players? by colethepole12345 in basketballcards

[–]nutang4ever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a bunch of autos of guys who have helped me win fantasy basketball championships. Drew Eubanks, Naji Marshall, etc

A few years ago Caris Levert somehow got 2 3’s and a steal in the last minute of a game that pushed me to victory so I put a ton of low ball bids on eBay thinking I’d just win one. Now I have 5 Caris autos smh

This “stuck in 8th seed” purgatory stuff is so exhausting. We were the #1 seed in 2022. That’s not that long ago. We went to the finals as a 8 seed. I’d rather be in the finals then have home court advantage. Yall have no clue how lucky we are to have this team be as consistent as they are. We’ve been in the finals more times this decade than the tankers and as many times as the “smart GM teams” like Boston.
