Miami Heat - What is happening? Were they a fluke?

[Nike D'Antoni]

I dont think they were a fluke. Because of playoffs to win a series, you need to win 4 games. It's not one 1 or 2 games

So what's going on? Is Jimmy Butler missing? was Jae Crowder that vital defensively, now he is doing that in Phoenix?

I do notice they have had a tough schedule too

twice Celtics
twice Sixers
twice Bucks
Mavs

Looking forward Miami guys to enlighten me here

Oh shit Raptors and Heat got the same record now

Fluke indeed....

[Micku]

A mixture of things. Under performed, tough schedule, missing their key players in key games. Lost a couple of close games. And Harkless ain't no Jae Crowder.

It's probably gonn'a be a rough year for Miami. They need each other collectively more so than any other top team I think.

Both Toronto & Miami should come ahead of Orlando & Cleveland.

Theyre 1-4 without Jimmy whos their best player and a top 10 player in the league close to top 5 including that near 50pt beatdown to Milwaukee

with that said last years Mickey Mouse title doesnt count. Its a fake title not even good enough to be an asterisks

Bubble ball was a meme as weve seen with Murray/Mitchell/Ray Rondo etc all not playing anywhere remotely the same. The only constant is Shitbrick is garbage

Miami was 15-22 road last year and made finals as a 5th seed. That aint happening in a real season

travel/road games are a different breed

I remember checling box score few days ago and Butler was out. Still, im surprised they arent doing good.

The bubble you can't count. No fans at all. It's why Donovan Mitchell and Jamal Murray have more 50+ point games than Lebron James in the playoffs.

No travel/road games was more a factor but thats true too.

Games 1-3 were the lowest rated finals games in decades. Even the Spurs/Pistons series from 05 that mainly hardcores watched averages more viewers for games 1-3

fans knew it wasnt real

Stop making excuse's, in the bubble everyone had the same chances. Dont blame the other team/player for being mentally strong.

The excuses "the bubble dont count, my guy needs his lemon pepper chicken wings a day before a big game". "Bubble dont count because my guy needs his strippers rubbing up on him before each game".

Same chances, same opportunity, you team/player choked cause he wasnt mentally prepared/strong enough.

Jimmy played with 2 of those bums and was their best player in the playoffs. They went to him and changed around the Raptors series after they put the ball in his hands

Booker lmfaoo

Playoff P LMAOOO we talking playoffs too not just RS. Youre retarded if youre talking George over Butler in the playoffs

not even finna humor the rest specially Shitbrook. Beal plays 0 defense as well

Even Giannis is 0-2 against Jimmy and Jimmy is 7-3 in games in the playoffs now and got bodied both times badly.

Jimmy 25/5/4/2 on 49/40/81
Giannis 15/9/4/1 on 43/20/61

Im taking Jimmy in the playoffs. Jimmys better than a couple other guys from the top half you named but at least its debatable

Embiid
Ben Simmons
Devin Booker
Paul George
Donovan Mitchell
CJ Mccollum
Zach LaVine
Klay Thompson
Bradley Beal
Russell Westbrook

these nikkas tho you have to have a low ball IQ to even consider them over Jimmy

A closer doesn't mean a better player. Kyrie fans got it all confused. Embiid was their best player.
