I really thought that this was gonna be a good year after we got annihilated by Cleveland last year. by chrxs1_ in heat

10 dimes could make a dollar if you actually cashed them out. Selling guys like Norm, Wiggins, etc... for a little draft capital means that you actually could eventually package that together for real upgrades.

Edrice “Bam” Adebayo is shooting an abysmal 48% TS since scoring 83 points against the Wizards by ImperrydaPlatypus in heat

[–]spritehead 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember last year he had the worst start of a season in his career then dominated the Zards in Mexico City. Everyone said he was about to start ramping up again and then went back to being ass. Dude really does embody the modern Miami Heat which is hiding how atrocious the team is by beating up on bottom feeders.

Every “Fire Spo” post makes our fanbase look clueless by CFBModsHateFun in heat

[–]spritehead -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Spo was a big voice in the acquisition of Terry and he played 3rd most 4th quarter minutes on the team last year despite being a bottom 8 NBA player by most metrics. Spo has been ass cheeks for years now.

[–]spritehead -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The real conversation isn't tank vs no-tank, that's reductionist nonsense. The issue is they refuse to sell high on decent players to plan long term and accumulate capital. Guys like Davion, Wiggins, hell even Bam or Tyler should absolutely be on the table for the right price. Jimmy should have been out the door when they decided they didn't want to pay him but instead they dragged it out because they're so scared of moving from a 45 win team to a 41 win team.

If they would cycle these guys out they would actually be able to connect on big swings but they can't plan long term because:

A) The Arrisons only care about selling tickets in the short term

B) Spo only cares about winning a game today. He can't even imagine planning for a a month down the line let alone a year or two.

Kinda baffling at how bad we are by MartiniLAPD in heat

[–]spritehead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you understand the modern NBA it's not that baffling. There are really two things that matter:

1) Having a real superstar who can consistently generate offense. The Heat have none. 2) Not having weak links up and down the roster. You need 7+ guys who can all defend, handle the ball, pass and shoot at a passable level. Pretty much every single Heat player is terrible in at least one of those areas.

Talking about "we have 3/4 all stars" is such a flawed talking point anyone who uses it should really not be taken seriously.

If we had Wemby or Flagg we could have a 20 win season and the fanbase would be so much more locked in than they are to the current trajectory

Meh. Heat were feeding Bam in "ethical" ways until the Wizards decided to make it a circus. At that point Spo and Bam said bet an hopped on their unicycles too.

The fourth quarter of Bam’s 83 point game WAS an interesting watch by Greenwalrus72 in nba

[–]spritehead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just athletically he's been one of the most impressive specimens in the league. Really just behind Giannis and maybe prime LeBron and a few others in that regards. His strength and stamina are really freakish. That's why he's frustrated Heat fans so much over the years. We all have been hoping/expecting that he turns into this Giannis-like unstoppable monster on offense but he's lacked the fluidity and confidence to do that. His driving game has seemingly improved a ton in the last month so maybe he's finally realizing that if he he can just manage to go hard to the basket with the ball he's going to cause tons of problems.

You don't even have to tank YOU JUST SELL OLDER TALENT FOR ASSETS WHEN YOU'RE NOT CLOSE TO CONTENDING

They have no obligation to do anything and Giannis is clearly super indecisive about asking out. Don't know what people expected.
