Yes, we added multiple 7 footers, have great young guys, a motivated, contract year jimmy, a new offense, and bam stretching the floor, alongside a GM voted best coach ITL and best defensive coach ITL. Heat >>>>>
Thing is, you didn't even include guys like Pelle Larson, Keshad Johnson, and Isaiah Stevens... all of whom I think have a CHANCE of being even better than Jaime Jacquez. Plus the Summer League MVP in Josh Christopher who may not even be as good as THOSE guys....
People sleep on the Heat because our roster isn't loaded with household names but people forget we have the best coach in the league by a mile, Jimmy turns into MJ in the playoffs, and Bam Adebayo is entering his prime. The rest of the team is more than competent role players
The Heat will surprise a lot of people this season for a lot of the reasons you stated. Jovic and Jaquez are likely to take another step in their development. Herro came into cameo 12 lbs heavier, so he’ll be stronger. But I think the first point is most important. If Bam can prove to be an offensive engine they are easily a top 3 team in the East
People forget that we played boston without jimmy and terry and handed them 1 of their 3 total losses all playoffs, oh and we beat them by doible digits at TD garden. Miami is always a contender but this year they have great depth and players that continue to mesh well and master their roles
the biggest thing that is going under reported this year is that boston will be missing porzingis until january or february. That will have a big impact on boston facing the bigger teams in the east like cleveland, the bucks and philly. I expect boston to actually be a 5th or 4th seed at best before porzingis returns and really need to fight for positioning in later half of the season. I think this will have a major impact on the whole conference. I think those top teams being forced to fight it out and not have the opportunity to rest in the regular season will benefit miami greatly especially in the playoffs. Remember every opponent boston faced in the playoff was hurt, mainly because everyone had to fight for playoff positioning except for boston. That wont be the case this year.
Your smoking alot of copium with this take. The celtics played without porzingas last year. They will be fine. People sleep on the celtic big rotation. Horford, Kornet, queta and tillman sr. It doesnt sound like much. But when you play with 4 other elite defensive players(Tatum, brown, holiday and white) its not easy to exploit those guys. And the celtics play smart within their defensive coverages. I think its opposite of what you said tho. The celtcis will be riding high and play well in the regilar season without porzingas. Theyre winning 60+ gms again. But if porzingas isnt healthy in the playoffs that is where it will hurt them. Especially if they have to play some of the bigger eastern conference teams
They were 21-4 in the regular season and 10-2 in the playoffs without porzingas last year so 31-6 without him in all games without him last year which is easily a 60 win pace. He's a luxury for Boston that they can afford to have him out and still win at a high rate.
Rozier, Herro, Bam, and Jimmy average around 20 points last year as starters. Bam and Jimmy, great 2-way player with the deep bench we have. If they can stay healthy this could be a very interesting year
As long as they stay healthy, the Miami Heat have a chance to compete, but injuries have often plagued the team's success over the years. The phrase "15 Strong" was the rallying cry of the 2006 Heat championship team, symbolizing the collective strength of every player on the roster. However, much like Pat Riley back then, Coach Erik Spoelstra tends to lean towards a tighter rotation, often relying on just 8 players in critical games. While Spoelstra may be more flexible during the regular season, occasionally extending minutes to a 9th or 10th player to keep the roster fresh, the playoffs tell a different story. When it matters most, he tends to shorten the bench, putting the spotlight on the core players and minimizing risks by tightening the rotation. This approach has its merits, but it also puts the team at risk if injuries strike, given the increased workload on key players.
This whole video is fire🔥. I am never going to forget ESPN giving miami a 3% chance to beat Boston in 2023 before the start of the series and then miami almost swept Boston going up 3-0 at the start. Please keep underestimating "those goons from Dade County"
Heat is the BEST🔥. The team is very organized and coached by the best coach in the league. Great culture, No Ego, No Drama, No Diva's unlike some overated overyhyped..Nevermind.😂
Yes The Heat Are Still Contenders, I Agree They Are The 5th Best Team In The East Behind Boston Knicks 76ers And Milwaukee. As Long As They Stay Healthy And Butler Plays His Best They Can Make It To The ECF
Heat are better than Milwaukee, give me a break. Milwaukee has doc rivers and darvin ham as coaches, that team is going nowhere (especially come post season). On top of that, if Dame and Giannis can’t figure it out then this team will be very bad. Heat are top 4!
Heat are contenders this year! Bam will win DPOTY, Tyler and Terry is going to be a problem Niko looks confident, bench is deep and Kelel and Pelle up the anti!
Duncan Robinson and defense?? Should never be in the same sentence😅😂 Allen Iverson was good at forcing turnovers and I know there are two different types of players because Allen Iverson is my favorite player ever and Duncan Robinson is a good role player. Oh come on Forcing turnovers is different than playing actual onball off-ball defense. Consistently!
@@basketballreach nah there are only like 5-6 teams that are actual contenders, i would bet my live savings that one of these are winning it. Celtics, Denver, OKC, Mavs, Philly and maybe the Knicks. Thats it.

Yes

I remember when bam landed the game ending 3 on the pistons for the last shot. Ever since that day his 3pt shooting has been frequent.
yeah it just sort of randomly happened lol i remember that game

By a mile? Stfu goofy
Spo is terrible
When did they hire pop?
You forgot about pelle larsson (44th overall pick)… but y’all bout to find out about him soon too
👀👀
Their whole starting five are all bucket getters and facilitators. Jovic proved he has the ability to be a decent scorer

Heat don't stand a chance this season at all

Bam looked strong in the Olympics, I’m excited to see him this season. He’s only just turning 27, right?
Edit: turned 27 in July.
Yes he did should be in for a huge season
how tf is highsmith only 79th percentile in defense?
Rozier, Herro, Bam, and Jimmy average around 20 points last year as starters. Bam and Jimmy, great 2-way player with the deep bench we have. If they can stay healthy this could be a very interesting year
Bam is this generations Draymond Green except he's not dirty and a lot more likeable.
In short, a very good under sized defensive player with mediocre offensive skills. 😅😅😅

Also 76ers will flop come post season. Embiid and PG are useless in post season and 76ers always fail in the playoffs 😂
Oh and the heat have the best coach ITL
Jaylen Brown is built for a Heat uniform. Make it happen Pat.
No reason they can't make I to the finals again if healthy.
I also didn't notice mention of Spo, who most consider the best coach in the league
Very true
Heat are contenders this year! Bam will win DPOTY, Tyler and Terry is going to be a problem Niko looks confident, bench is deep and Kelel and Pelle up the anti!
Bro, makes it sound like everyone on the heat team is a 2-way beast. lol even a rookie that hasn't played against top talent yet
as a heat fan I can tell you 1 reason why miami heat aren't title contenders.
1. Injury
I’m a Bucks fan and I 100% feel the same way 😔
AS LONG AS JIMMY IS HEALTHY AND DOESN'T PISS OFF PAT GOTTI HEAT WILL B FINE💯
Let’s do a Miami Heat video together
Bruh after seeing him and ad on the same team for the Olympics.....I want that to happen in the nba like now lol. They were a fucking menace.
Seeing so many people say Ware can be ROY and I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in Sioux Falls.
Niko, Jaime will take leaps this year and Pelle and Wade will play this year. I think Richardson and Love take backseats.
Jovic is going to be a problem… people sleep on him too much
You forgot that Miami has the best coach in Basketball
Squad up!
Duncan Robinson and defense?? Should never be in the same sentence😅😂 Allen Iverson was good at forcing turnovers and I know there are two different types of players because Allen Iverson is my favorite player ever and Duncan Robinson is a good role player. Oh come on Forcing turnovers is different than playing actual onball off-ball defense. Consistently!
This team has championship potential and theu have Spo.
Miami Heat looks real official this upcoming season……
I didn't know Michael Jordan died last year that's crazy
If you don't understand the joke I feel bad for you...
All I’m hearing is sell high
& oh yea.....the Heat have the best head coach in the NBA 😈
the east is ours
Shiver me timbers
Bams trash at defense....he stands around and is lazy.
You people are calling everyone title contenders at this point 🤦♂️.
That’s the truth though isn’t it? 😂
@@basketballreach nah there are only like 5-6 teams that are actual contenders, i would bet my live savings that one of these are winning it.
