Yep, Bron gets hammered and not like he gets the calls but people like to bitch about shit regarding him.
People are afraid of witnessing greatness aka goat shit. It’s their problem, not ours. Only the strong survive

Defense has been non-existent for several games now. Earlier in the season, at least AD was playing defense...but it doesn't seem like even he is anymore.
I’m sure it isn’t easy if you see the others playing mediocre defense

You can’t spell defense without Austin Reeves.

Every time Philly wins then their top guys rest and they lose. You can’t go .500 trying to catch up so much ground

Literally the actual definition of mid lol

nice to see them destroy the Lakers- but the Lakers (another mid- team) are not very good away from home.

Heat do have, what? like the 5th best differential in the East though- which is something. Tonight def. helped.

To Jimmy Butler's credit- I did think hed be worse than he is by now- in his 15th season at age 35--- but you can def. see wear on the tires at this point.

Overall with the Heat- I think the Rozier move made sense- but I just think with Butler, Bam, and that Robinson deal there just hasnt been a lot of room for maneuverability, and what picks they have are never very good picks.

they have just had a lack of assets and cap space and there is not a whole lot that can be done there unless Jimmy stays healthy and is awesome in the playoffs and Bam takes another step from pretty much perennial all star to something more. To really make a run Rozier would have to take a step and Robinson would have to shoot lights out.

Just not a lot of room to maneuver there- but that is kind of what happens when you leave yourself without cap space for a long time and without draft capital for a long time.

I don’t expect much out of this group in the regular season but if they stay healthy and avoid the play-in they will be a scary playoffs team if this version of Herro continues and Bam get back to his normal self on offense. I know Jimmy will turn it up in the playoffs

I was thinking this last night. This team is looking like a fluke that got lucky Giannis wasn’t around in round 1 and the Knicks injuries caught up to them in round 2

AD needs to play better but Rob Pelinka still going to hell for the rosters he keeps constructing. Pretty sure its a cardinal sin to waste years of Lebron and AD
