This is the Heat every year. Erik Spoelstra and Jimmy Butler help maximize every player on the roster enroute to deep playoff runs. They have the most conference finals, finals appearances, and most playoff wins out of every team in the league since Jimmy got there. This is not a fluke, nor should it be a surprise anymore.
One of the sneakiest things that has improved the Heat is that Duncan can slash effectively. He’s going to draw in defenders on his 3 ball, but his ability to drive is going to help move that ball so well
Duncan has ELITE off ball movement …Literally one of the best off ball players I’ve seen….He really owns the role player part, and when he’s in there the offensive just moves so good ..
Yes, but that rookie is really balling and Bam is (finally) consistently hitting his shots. Even against the Nuggets last year in the Finals, the Heat missed a million wide-open-look shots that had they dropped, that series may have been different. It really is a make or miss league. Of late, those shots are dropping.
@@selassieaspen9940 yea 2022, and 2021, but the kicked their asses in the bubble and last season, i say, the heat have been the best team in the eastern conference these past 15 years
Tyler Herro getting integrated in the starting 5 and now fitting in is crazy dangerous and also the Heat play really obedient to Spoelstra so his smart basketball mind can have bigger impact in the playoffs because his players adapt quicker than any other team does in the NBA
@@Punxphil215 It's improving tho. Last year was also really good because of Jimmy and others having more touches. So I think they could trust in improvement in the future. If not I was looking for years for Miami to get Norman Powell or Myles Turner to round out a system around Jimmy.
Tyler herrro literally is the reason they struggle. Dude takes the most shots every game yet almost never gets over 20 pts a game. At best he should be the 6th man. But personally he should go they play better without him.
The most fun team basketball you can watch. Any given player on the court at any given time can make plays in their best form. Makes for a range of balance that they can/do play with... Why they were able to beat the Kings the night before in Sac withouth Jimmy, Tyler, Jovic, Rozier+... This is their year. They will be red hot in the playoffs and better than last year.
Milwaukee had one series where they had success. After the shortest and weirdest offseason of all time. They got handled in the bubble, and they got handled last season.
As a Celtics fan, i both fear and look forward to this matchup, fear because they're 2-1 against the Celtics, but i also heavily anticipate it because as of right now, this is the biggest and most competitive rivalry in the nba, I'll feel cheated if we don't get this matchup this year
@Fuceril hell nahh we ain't scared of the Heat this year. Swept em in the regular season and if we match up with them first round? We'll pull put the brooms
They got the best coach in the league in Erik Spoelstra, the best playoff performer in the league in Jimmy Butler, the best 2-way player in Bam Adebayo, the best shooting duo in Tyler Herro and Duncan Robinson, and the best rookie and a gem in Jaime Jaquez Jr, and of course, the golden child that is Nikola Jovic. This is arguably the scariest and most dangerous team in the entire league, and them winning a championship title is not a matter of "if" but "when".
Cant be overstated how unfavorable the denver matchup is for Miami, Bam will never be able to guard jokic 1 on 1 (no shame there who can) AG punishes all the small guards like herro,Terry in the paint through transition or halfcourt cross matchups and then add MPJ KCP and murray spacing through shooting to the equation with the best two man game in history with joke and murray PNR..... near unbeatable matchup fr fr
The NBA has had a Miami Heat problem for the last 5 years, cause it's been the best team in the East in the past 4 years. The only exception was when Jimmy got covid and lost 20 pounds. That was the year Tatum also got covid. That year was the only year the Bucks won the east. Other than that, with normal levels of injuries, it has always been the heat and the celtics, 3 out of the last 4 years. Only Jimmy's health has slowed down the heat as the playoffs progress. If he has help for once and only twists his ankles a couple of times, and if payton Prichard doesn't injure him on purpose, the Heat will make it to the finals again. Payton Pritchard injuring Butler was the only reason boston beat them once... By two points in game 7 with Jimmy missing a triple.
It could have, but that's the problem with speculating what ifs. Like one could argue if Gabe Vincent didn't slide late and Tatum didn't hurt his ankle in the first play, the Celtics could have won
@@Xsaveyawn The 2022 series, the injury happened in Game 3 and Jimmy came back and played well. The 2023 series, injury happened game 7 and sucked the energy right out from the Celtics and brought energy into the Heat. Without the injury the game would have been much closer and a coin flip on who won
@@phoenixplayz1581 Herro was hurt 2023 series when he broke his hand against the bucks. Pretty sure he was healthy in the 2022 series. Lowry had the nagging hamstring injury in 2022 and missed the first 2 games. Celtics were missing Smart for 2 games and Rob Williams for 1 game, who were the reason the Celtics had such a good defense later in the season and throughout the playoffs
Really frustrating to be a heat fan during the regular season. Maybe a team that was one game away from missing the playoffs last year should prioritize winning games over experimenting a bit more. Side note: Duncan Robinsons evolution as a playmaker and facilitator has been a revelation.
As a heat fan, it's very clear that you know ball. You don't recite the same tired national media storylines aimed at discrediting the team. You actually watch the games. Kudos
Watching this a week after you uploaded, now they got Patty MIlls for more guard depth. Valuable championship experience, seasoned veteran, things are good.
Everyone, including myself as a heat fan, underestimated the impact of the existing players on the roster improving. We all know the heat can turn any undrafted player into a competent contributor but one thing missing from last year’s finals was a star player who could stretch the floor. Additionally bam was not developed enough offensively + missing herro. We hoped dame would fix that but what happened was better. Bam became more comfortable with the ball and became a better skilled shooter, Jimmy improved from 3, herro upped his game, and Jaime turned out to be a great pick. Down the stretch, the Rozier trade will be a huge plus because having a guy that can get a bucket is massive in the playoffs. When the pressure is at its highest, you can’t just rely on Caleb Martin and Haywood highsmith hitting open 3s. Someone needs to give those guys confidence by getting a tuff basket
I was at this game you're showing in this video! Blazers are so bad, game tickets are dirt cheap, literally a buck a pop if you're behind the baskets in the nosebleeds, $3-$6 a pop if you're sat along the side of the court in the nosebleeds. Only $15-$30 a pop for some upper club level (200) seats. Crazy cool. Blazers actually played way better than I expected. We lead most of the game until the 4th when as always, we partially imploded. Ant did NOT help there as usual, being painfully streaky offensively, and absolutely giving zero effort defensively. Toumani and Ashton Hagans absolutely carried us in that game. And man were there too many Heat fans in the RG haha.
The fan base always complains when we lose games but it’s because spoelstra plays multiple rosters and lineups to kind of test them and make sure everyone gets playing time. To ensure a roster that is ready to step up when needed
Duncan and Hero are still the x factor in the heat getting over the hill. Their consistency is what will make or break them. Bam has shown he will show up. Jaquez seems to be a force of nature and Jimmy is going to Jimmy.
i’m a heat fan and why would they not care about the regular season? i think they do, it’s not because they’re not winning every game that they don’t care
lol KP and Jrue added to the roster and Celtics bolstered their bench? I will absolutely be more than happy if the Heat played us. It’s not even close..
@@alexescutia4805 nah man the heat hit and incredible stretch in the post season and we’re absolutely gassed in the finals… wasn’t close or fun to watch. Not saying that don’t grit and aren’t talent because obviously they are. This isn’t the same Celtics, they’re 46-12 and have swept the heat this season. The Celtics probably would have won if JT didn’t high sprain his ankle and JB didn’t just fold under pressure. The Heat gotta stop getting some credit, talented team but we’re bottom in the league shooting 3s last season and then all of a sudden start shooting like the best team in the NBA. I will be absolutely shocked if they make it to ECF.
Every single basketball youtube channel has dropped some version of this video since the all star break. Maybe they're not that slept on No hate, I'm a Heat Fan and a fan of the channel so I love hearing about my team. But if everyone thinks they're underrated, then they're just rated
As a Heat fan, the real bottomline is they can play well which they're doing now (won 5 straight and won 8 of 10) Miami needs a true Center. I love Bam, but he fits the Power Forward role than a Center, in Miami's two Finals appearance, they got manhandled due to size (Lakers with Anthony Davis, Dwight Howard and Andre Drummond, and the Nuggets with Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordan). I have a very good feeling that Spoelstra doesn't trust tall Centers cause of Hassan Whiteside, imagine if Whiteside actually kept his mind straight, Miami would've won those Finals games. Lakers? Most definitely, cause they took the Lakers to six without Goran Dragic who was their second best scorer on the team and the Heat got bodied in the paint by the Lakers. Nuggets? Its 50/50, the Heat held the Nuggets to low offensive scoring in the Finals and Bam did his best guarding Jokic and Jokic still made those tough shots. If only Spoelstra would would change that gameplan, Miami would legit win.
Spo doesn't base his offense around a Center. Spo literally changed the gane to what we see now with his "Positionless" basketball view. Bosh wasn't a center either....Also, Whiteside didn't fit tje bill as he had no lateral movement. Bam.can bang with the best of them....Also, in 2020 Finals Heat were without Dragic and Bam. The letter got hurt in game 1 and didn't return until game 5 if im.not mistaken. Last year had nothing to do with Size....Miami couldn't hit shots. In fact, check the numbers from last year finals. Miami actually had a + point differential while Bam was on the floor. Denver went on their runs when he was on tje bench.... The Heat entire defense is centered around Bam and his ability to literally guard all 5 positions. A center clogging the lame wo t help much with how Miami runs their offense. Remember Bosh wasn't a center either.
I honestly wish the celtics would use their strategy of not giving it their full effort in the regular season, then turning it up in the playoffs. Cuz the celtics are clearly more tired come playoff time. I don't care about them getting a top 3 record....I want the title. Use your bench! Every damn game the starters play 40+ minutes and I don't feel it's too smart, and Miami shows this every damn year. Partially by knocking us out every other matchup
Idk if their better suited for playoffs this year because last year heat had injuries to like 3 key players and still did incredible, if I remember hero was out, olidipo, and Caleb Martin I think
Jimmy also played on a bum ankle from about midway through the east semis into the finals after josh hart pulled that stupid baseball slide and messed up his ankle@@weswith360s
Spo is just too good. The roster is kinda trash but Spo makes them good. Rozier was a good add-on but Bam really needs help. I don't see them winning a championship during the Jimmy era but they are in good hands under Spo.
My Blazers had lost 8 in a row before playing Miami, and is currently in full rebuild mode. Miami is winning the games they should be winning, nothing more.
For the number I’m sorry but The Heat have Milwaukees number than the Celtics. I genuinely think that losing Gracen Allen and Jrue Holiday their Chemistry went to near nonexistent
They're fuming 9-2? Remember when they lost 8 straight, shit. Took them off the radar for everyone. Literally nobody watches them except Florida fans. Not even the highlights they get or even commentator. If you watched the Heat pelicans game u see 20-8 score and still no Heat Highlights. 😂
Heat have Bucks down, they have too many shooters and between bad guard defense and Brook Lopez on the perimeter Giannis is going to be the x factor on his help defense
Is Miami the closest team who plays like they are in the1990's come playoff time? I think so, mentally and physically tough plus very well coached. The anti-woke team of the current NBA and that's why they get no coverage from ESPN/ Disney
The Celtics are so good are paper, but are soft as hell. The Heat don't look like much on paper, but they are hard as hell. Team chemistry, fit, hustle, heart, and coaching all matter, but can't be measured on a spreadsheet.
They beat 2 different 7 seeds a 14th seed a 15th seed a 6th seed (Without their mvp caliber player) the same 7th seed team again and another 14th seed and were worried about that? Mmm no i'm good. Come back when they beat some real teams. Dont try and use the bucks either because since they hired doc theyve been a play in team lmao
I really love all those Heat fans that tend to forget that their team got absolutely smoked by Milwaukee in 2021 Playoffs. 4-0. Jimmy Butler was nowhere to be found. And it was just one year after the trip to the Finals. I have a feeling this year is gonna be really similar.
Y'all seem to forget that Miami was coming off a short offseason and Jimmy played with a bad back that series. Where was this energy when Miami whooped the Bucks 4-1 in 2020 and 2023?
The problem with Herro is his trade value. I don't think they're gonna get a proper return for him. And this guy has been linked to everyone the past 4 years or so, and he's still not traded. They don't have a package to put around him to trade for a star, as seen the past 4 years. So, the only way I see him being traded is for role players and picks, but at the same time, would Miami settle for trading Herro for role players? The guy has to be benched. If Jimmy, Bam, and Rozier is on the floor, Herro should sit. He should play with the bench guys.
@@yapyap3 coming off the bench would be best. Running the second unit would work great for the heat. Having rozier and Herro in at the same time just looks like a mess.
@@weswith360s nah dawg I watch every game. He puts up the most shots of everyone and hardly ever has the most points out of everyone. He contributes in some ways that are beneficial but he Shouldn’t be the one putting up the most shots lol. He also goes quiet in 4th quarters. 🤔 I see what I see I call it how it is. Nothing casual about that my guy.
@@silenceassassin5565and what team did the heat play and eliminate between the 1st round series against the bucks and the eastern conference finals against the Celtics?
@@zakking4983the nuggets were a terrible matchup for us, so I’ll give you that finals, but two of the heat’s three leading scorers were injured during the lakers series
Miami is such a bad team for the playoffs, they just kick all the contenders just to lose at the championships every time it makes such a bad championship everytime lol
Please you acting like there's been multiple East winning teams in the last 6 years. Outside of Bucks 2021 where multiple teams were injured West has pretty much dominated since Bron left the east. You also ignore the fact that Heat were injured both times they made the finals. Also the predicament Heat are in is 10x better than your tean and 99% teams position over the last 5 years so foh.
There's nothing more overrated than an NBA regular season. In the playoffs, every possession matters, and you rarely see teams put up 130+ points throughout a postseason. That fits in perfectly with what the Heat do, and Spo is the 🐐
@@uwannasee_greatnessdifferent teams different matchups. Best of 7 comes down to best teamwork and knowing this opponent. If Heart was smart of enough they should of figured out that Jamal Murray was the one that needed to be stopped and Porter. Especially Murray since he's the Facilitater.
The narrative behind the heat not caring about the regular season is such an odd one to me. Reminder, 2 years ago they were the 1 seed when the Celtics beat them off Jimmy missing that one 3 pointer. Yes they clearly turn it up come playoffs but not caring about the regular is a Jimmy exclusive thing in my eyes
They care to use the season for development and rotation experiments. They don't sweat the record. That's what people mean when they say "don't care." It's relative-other teams _do_ care about 1 seed and homecourt. For the Heat, it's nice if they are healthy and land there.
Spoelstra doesn’t care about the regular season. Even if there aren’t any injuries he tries different lineups and rotations. Hes honestly a genius coach, most other teams are playing for seeding.
Thats why you can't listen to 24 hour sports radio. They need something to talk about always. Miami is simply capable of turning up when it matters in the playoffs. The season is long and they also try things as they are developing over time. They have a different long term outlook and know when to put their foot on the gas.
I'd like to see the Heat win a chip, those guys really put in the work. An undervalued trait in todays NBA where guys celebrate money during a championship celebration (Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins), and guys who want to sit out half the season just being lazy
I really think that the injury issues every year somehow help the heat. This is how the role players get playing time, get better and have to develop self creation. And thats why everyone can go off. They all know how to create on that level
Reinvention, adapting adding subtracting hustling, berserk competitors, berserk bench , berserk development people, ownership, management and coaching. Never seen anything like it. Culture is REAL.
This is the Heat every year. Erik Spoelstra and Jimmy Butler help maximize every player on the roster enroute to deep playoff runs. They have the most conference finals, finals appearances, and most playoff wins out of every team in the league since Jimmy got there. This is not a fluke, nor should it be a surprise anymore.

Its 50/50, the Heat held the Nuggets to low offensive scoring in the Finals and Bam did his best guarding Jokic and Jokic still made those tough shots. If only Spoelstra would would change that gameplan, Miami would legit win.
Spo doesn't base his offense around a Center. Spo literally changed the gane to what we see now with his "Positionless" basketball view. Bosh wasn't a center either....Also, Whiteside didn't fit tje bill as he had no lateral movement. Bam.can bang with the best of them....Also, in 2020 Finals Heat were without Dragic and Bam. The letter got hurt in game 1 and didn't return until game 5 if im.not mistaken.
Last year had nothing to do with Size....Miami couldn't hit shots. In fact, check the numbers from last year finals. Miami actually had a + point differential while Bam was on the floor. Denver went on their runs when he was on tje bench....
The Heat entire defense is centered around Bam and his ability to literally guard all 5 positions. A center clogging the lame wo t help much with how Miami runs their offense. Remember Bosh wasn't a center either.
I honestly wish the celtics would use their strategy of not giving it their full effort in the regular season, then turning it up in the playoffs. Cuz the celtics are clearly more tired come playoff time. I don't care about them getting a top 3 record....I want the title. Use your bench! Every damn game the starters play 40+ minutes and I don't feel it's too smart, and Miami shows this every damn year. Partially by knocking us out every other matchup
Duncan have to start whatever the situation is
If you want to actually pronounce Jaime’s name right just say it like Hi Meh
Hi Meh Ha Kez
Heat culture 🔥
The Heat are like the spurs with Duncan and crew. They were just expected to be in the playoffs every year whether they were good or not
Thank you I been sayin that 😭
The Heat are only getting better and healthier. Celtics are the only challenge and even then there’s always a chance
Aint nobody worried about the heat man
Said that last year and they made the finals the heat is showing you don't take them lightly
remember when people said jimmy is a cancer i will never forget that terrible take and how people seriously believed that😂😂
Idk if their better suited for playoffs this year because last year heat had injuries to like 3 key players and still did incredible, if I remember hero was out, olidipo, and Caleb Martin I think
It was just Herro and Oladipo. Caleb tore up Boston that series
Jimmy also played on a bum ankle from about midway through the east semis into the finals after josh hart pulled that stupid baseball slide and messed up his ankle@@weswith360s
Butler got hurt in the Knicks series and wasn’t the same after
Birdman would be perfect for this Heat team
Spo is just too good. The roster is kinda trash but Spo makes them good. Rozier was a good add-on but Bam really needs help. I don't see them winning a championship during the Jimmy era but they are in good hands under Spo.
The roster is trash? Bro tell me you never watched a heat game without telling me you never watched a heat game. 😭😭
@@BCWEASEL252 Heat are the 7th seed in the weak East.
My Blazers had lost 8 in a row before playing Miami, and is currently in full rebuild mode. Miami is winning the games they should be winning, nothing more.
They also beat the pelicans while missing 7 players (3 starters including Jimmy and Tyler) literally the night before
They face the Nuggets next. Let's see.
Let's Go Heat 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
For the number I’m sorry but The Heat have Milwaukees number than the Celtics. I genuinely think that losing Gracen Allen and Jrue Holiday their Chemistry went to near nonexistent
We litteraly beat New York last year
You gotta admit the heat has an incredible team
Everyone knows the heat ain’t doing shit this season terry is awful lmao
Celtics nor Bucks want any smoke with the Heat
I thought Embid is out for the season
NO ONE IS GOING TO WORRY HEAT
If Boston doesn’t make the finals this year they got some major soul searching to do
You people are finally learning....
It's almost like the Celtics didn't beat the Heat in '22 to get to the finals.
And the heat the celtics in 23 to go to the finals
celtics almost lost to the heat in 2022, the heat couldve won if butlers 3 went in
Yall forget that Boston has lost twice to Miami since Jimmy been there. Potentially 3 times if Jimmy hits that shot
I know they lost twice. My point is Tucker was talking like they've never gotten past them, which they have.
Lowry did workout. He just expired as a star.
he had injuries he was good when he was healthy but that's what happens with age
Every basketball analysis video is titled "NBA has a _ problem" , lack of creativity, there is.
Then after this video they lose to the wizards and ruin my parlay 🤦🏽♂️
They're fuming 9-2? Remember when they lost 8 straight, shit. Took them off the radar for everyone. Literally nobody watches them except Florida fans. Not even the highlights they get or even commentator. If you watched the Heat pelicans game u see 20-8 score and still no Heat Highlights. 😂
Jimmy said hi Ray robbery. What an idiot
Dey beating da teams they suppose to beat dis win streak is inflated
And? Those wins helping them climb up the standings to potential home court advantage in the first round
You got a problem with "th"?
Heat have Bucks down, they have too many shooters and between bad guard defense and Brook Lopez on the perimeter Giannis is going to be the x factor on his help defense
No cavs love sheesh
The nba has a REF problem.
Address that and stop the cap
Spo is just a great coach. I think they’re very overrated and get pretty lucky. But hey a wins a win. No doubt about it they have dogs
Is Miami the closest team who plays like they are in the1990's come playoff time? I think so, mentally and physically tough plus very well coached. The anti-woke team of the current NBA and that's why they get no coverage from ESPN/ Disney
The Celtics are so good are paper, but are soft as hell. The Heat don't look like much on paper, but they are hard as hell. Team chemistry, fit, hustle, heart, and coaching all matter, but can't be measured on a spreadsheet.
Im a good problem solver make them play the nuggets..
We eliminated the Knicks last year do you remember?
They beat 2 different 7 seeds a 14th seed a 15th seed a 6th seed (Without their mvp caliber player) the same 7th seed team again and another 14th seed and were worried about that? Mmm no i'm good. Come back when they beat some real teams. Dont try and use the bucks either because since they hired doc theyve been a play in team lmao
Imagine not taking the regular season serious as if you’ve got rings to show for this method 😂
I really love all those Heat fans that tend to forget that their team got absolutely smoked by Milwaukee in 2021 Playoffs. 4-0. Jimmy Butler was nowhere to be found. And it was just one year after the trip to the Finals. I have a feeling this year is gonna be really similar.
Y'all seem to forget that Miami was coming off a short offseason and Jimmy played with a bad back that series. Where was this energy when Miami whooped the Bucks 4-1 in 2020 and 2023?
Lol, how are you talking about 2021, when last year the Heat punked the Bucks in the first round? That's recent history.
Shortest off season in history lmao you’ve seen what happens with regular off seasons of rest
Celtics are gonna destroy them this year, not even worried about the heat.
That's the way they love it.
Herro has got to go. The heat have proven time and time again they play better without him.
The problem with Herro is his trade value. I don't think they're gonna get a proper return for him.
And this guy has been linked to everyone the past 4 years or so, and he's still not traded.
They don't have a package to put around him to trade for a star, as seen the past 4 years.
So, the only way I see him being traded is for role players and picks, but at the same time, would Miami settle for trading Herro for role players?
The guy has to be benched. If Jimmy, Bam, and Rozier is on the floor, Herro should sit. He should play with the bench guys.
Y'all some casuals with these Herro takes 🤦♂️
@@yapyap3 coming off the bench would be best. Running the second unit would work great for the heat. Having rozier and Herro in at the same time just looks like a mess.
@@weswith360s nah dawg I watch every game. He puts up the most shots of everyone and hardly ever has the most points out of everyone. He contributes in some ways that are beneficial but he
Shouldn’t be the one putting up the most shots lol. He also goes quiet in 4th quarters. 🤔 I see what I see I call it how it is. Nothing casual about that my guy.
@@weswith360s also he can never stay healthy so that’s that.
The heat eliminated the Knicks in the playoffs last year
No the Miami Heat ELIMINATE THE CELTICS SND AND BUCKS Last year
@@silenceassassin5565and what team did the heat play and eliminate between the 1st round series against the bucks and the eastern conference finals against the Celtics?
i’m lowkey tired of them making it to the finals and underperforming they’ll never win a championship with jimmy butler as their best player
If the heat make the finals and give the west an easy finals match for a third time I’ll be so annoyed.
they can make the finals interesting if they don't face the nuggets
@@HaslemBurner maybe. They’re 0-2 with making the finals interesting so far so I’m not too hopeful
@@zakking4983the nuggets were a terrible matchup for us, so I’ll give you that finals, but two of the heat’s three leading scorers were injured during the lakers series
if Caleb Martin in the ECF plays the Celtics and TURNS INTO FREAKING RAY ALLEN SHAQ AND LEBRON IM GONNA FREAKING CRY
They match up great with any team but the nuggets . Every other team heat can beat tbh . If you don’t like it tell your team don’t lose to them .
Nah
Yea.
Miami is such a bad team for the playoffs, they just kick all the contenders just to lose at the championships every time it makes such a bad championship everytime lol
Please you acting like there's been multiple East winning teams in the last 6 years. Outside of Bucks 2021 where multiple teams were injured West has pretty much dominated since Bron left the east. You also ignore the fact that Heat were injured both times they made the finals. Also the predicament Heat are in is 10x better than your tean and 99% teams position over the last 5 years so foh.
cry
@@D8.5 when are the heat ever healthy?
They haven’t won anything since LeBron. 🥱
The heat been a problem every year for years no matter what seeding
miami needs to give a raise to the scout dept, they find more diamonds that nobody else saw
They always do, idk how they do it
They don't need a raise. That's why they've been so successful is because I assume they pay them nice
Player Devs too
more like every other team needs to be paying their scouting dept like the heat
@@noahjoseph8252yes that part
There's nothing more overrated than an NBA regular season. In the playoffs, every possession matters, and you rarely see teams put up 130+ points throughout a postseason. That fits in perfectly with what the Heat do, and Spo is the 🐐
Idk bud, who won the championship last year? I don't think it was the 8th seed...
@@uwannasee_greatnessI think you missed the point
@@uwannasee_greatnessdifferent teams different matchups. Best of 7 comes down to best teamwork and knowing this opponent. If Heart was smart of enough they should of figured out that Jamal Murray was the one that needed to be stopped and Porter. Especially Murray since he's the Facilitater.
Ringless heat with butler. Like the celtics, what's to be proud about that?
Doesnt matter if theyre 8th or 1st seed. Still ringless.
The narrative behind the heat not caring about the regular season is such an odd one to me. Reminder, 2 years ago they were the 1 seed when the Celtics beat them off Jimmy missing that one 3 pointer. Yes they clearly turn it up come playoffs but not caring about the regular is a Jimmy exclusive thing in my eyes
They care to use the season for development and rotation experiments. They don't sweat the record. That's what people mean when they say "don't care." It's relative-other teams _do_ care about 1 seed and homecourt. For the Heat, it's nice if they are healthy and land there.
Spoelstra doesn’t care about the regular season. Even if there aren’t any injuries he tries different lineups and rotations. Hes honestly a genius coach, most other teams are playing for seeding.
Its not odd because it works
Thats why you can't listen to 24 hour sports radio. They need something to talk about always. Miami is simply capable of turning up when it matters in the playoffs. The season is long and they also try things as they are developing over time. They have a different long term outlook and know when to put their foot on the gas.
and u saw jimmy in that playoffs he was gassed asf fam.
I know it’s unlikely, but Jimmy vs Wolves in the finals would be a fun story.
I would love to see Jimmy get his ring like that.
If its that so than its "paper finals".. the real final is probably wolves vs nuggets..
@@ritchierich2793 Those are both Western Conference teams
@@abw1317 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️thats why i said on "paper finals" dawg..
@@ritchierich2793 you said "the real final" also you said "paper finals" not on paper finals. 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@ritchierich2793get the fuck outta here. The in heat would dog walk the wolves.
I'd like to see the Heat win a chip, those guys really put in the work. An undervalued trait in todays NBA where guys celebrate money during a championship celebration (Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins), and guys who want to sit out half the season just being lazy
Jimmy is a terror in the playoffs they the favorites out East
Are you for real??? 😂
LOL!😂😂😂😂😂😂
People are laughing at this but if Miami is winning this much with regular season Jimmy…..
Ppl gonna be surprised when miami beats boston in 5 🤣no one beating spoelstra in a 7 game series with this amount of firepower and depth
@helmie4118 Out West it will be a different story gotta respect the Champs that being said Miami is primed for that action
the miami heat are a better team this year than they were last year
So are the other teams in the east
I really think that the injury issues every year somehow help the heat. This is how the role players get playing time, get better and have to develop self creation. And thats why everyone can go off. They all know how to create on that level
The mavs and the heat are the dark horses for the post-season. Both teams are gonna make some noise 💯🔥
Reinvention, adapting adding subtracting hustling, berserk competitors, berserk bench , berserk development people, ownership, management and coaching. Never seen anything like it. Culture is REAL.
