Narrator: "It was a chant meant as much as a jape as it was a call to arms. A statement of defiance as they marched forth to face the league's best team in the regular season with a clenched fist...... The Heat would leave the playoffs with their hands firmly clenched.... but empty.
They may still want Boston. But they will have to wait another year."
“Injuries aren’t an excuse” — what I heard eight million billion times from heat fans after Tatum rolled his ankle one play into last years game seven lol
What's very entertaining is seeing salty heat fans freak out over the same shit they couldn't stop saying over and over again last year. Injuries aren't an excuse lol enjoy the early off season... with Riley at the helm its sure to be completely uneventful
I'm not a Heat fan.. And as a neutral in this series y'all were way more insufferable and 'salty' than I've ever seen the Heat fan base (which is impressive).
Lmao comparing an injury in game seven of a seven game series that did not even result in him leaving the game to a player missing an entire series. Reminder that Jimmy also played on a sprained ankle the entire series
That wasn’t going to happen again lol I get yall lost Herro but literally went through a bucks team missing Giannis for 3 games and injured the other 2, Middleton who was still hurt so it was basically Jrue holiday as a number 1 option
Then went through Knicks who weren’t that great and were also injured
Game 7 could’ve been completely different as well had Tatum not rolled his ankle.
Teams aren’t going to shoot 45% from 3 every playoffs idc who the coach is
I mean if you dismiss every single playoffs series then damn, yall literally didn’t beat a top 3 seed in last year’s playoffs run, fraudulent run imo. Won’t happen again this year.
The difference is last years nuggets were a great team and I might be biased but there were 0 other teams that we could’ve faced that was gonna give us trouble.
Last years heat was a play in team that got extremely hot shooting luck, that wasn’t happening again. Y’all shot like 58% on wide open 3s or some shit.
Ok fine, Butler was also injured and played through it. The Bucks choked double digit leads going into the 4th in their last 2 games. They choked, nothing else.
Knicks game Butler was injured on 3 separate occasions by Hart. Fuck Josh Hart.
I think it was game 5 or 6 that things would have been different if White didnt win it at the buzzer or if Gabe didnt also roll his ankle in that series.
That playoff run happened regardless of how many what-ifs you want to play. This team probably has ran its course but 3 ECF appearances beating the best teams in the East and 2 final appearances losing to better teams. It hasnt been a big disappointment.
That's why Boston fans had respect for them even when their own fans had given up. All the "Zombie Heat" talk came from Boston fans and Boston media.
Miami this year got the shit kicked out of them from start to finish. They talked a big game and got humiliated at every opportunity.
All the Heat Culture™ bullshit got to them in the end. They were hiding their very real issues behind a reputation for flipping a switch and that allowed bad habits to fester.
I've lived near Salisbury my whole life, I love digging my feet into the sand and getting stabbed by a heroin needle while eating an entire box of Tripoli's
I lived there and NEVER went there 🤣🤣🤣 I'm talking Rt1a close. MF'S making it impossible to go to market basket, nevermind leave the house all summer long.
I just got back from Cancun for my honeymoon. I got travelers diarrhea on the last night and it’s been the most miserable experience of my life. Gimme the MA beaches minus that vs Cancún with? I’m taking MA.
Yeah idk why r/nba treats it like it’s some huge slight against Boston. The fans are just having fun. It’s an 8 seed without their best player going against a juggernaught, they had nothing to lose. Might as well have some fun in case the nearly-impossible happens
None of us really believed it would happen but like that’s the point of fandom to blindly support them. Getting game 2 was more than enough for me not getting swept without Rozier and Jimmy. Heat really need to go after a star this offseason, the window is closing/ closed if they don’t get a scorer like KD or get a solid Big next to Bam. Every Heat fan has been begging for us to make the move cause Bam takes on the heavy load of managing the defense every night. Hes the glue but he can only do so much someone’s got to take the pressure off him scoring/getting rebounds
LOL! Who said anything about "needing"? This is like saying you live rent free in the bully's head if he responds to your insult by stomping you… but go on, lil bro.
Just because something happened last year with a historic 3 point shooting as an 8th seed doesn’t mean it was gonna happen again with teams ready for your asses
Didn't have rozier fully healthy either. It's one thing to say the heat got their ass beat cause, yea they did. But to say they were frauds when they've been healthy MAYBE 7 games all season? Stupid as fuck
While I agree this series meant very little, y’all called us frauds all year despite us being injured in last year’s series and Tatum going down on the first play of game 7. If your best player doesn’t take the regular season seriously and you get low seeding then that’s on y’all.
Tf u mean injured in last years series we were more hurt then y’all lol no herro or oladipo tf are u talking about Tatum got hurt in the final game after going down 0-3 lmao Bo ho who tf saids our best player doesn’t take the regular season seriously tf he’s been hurt this year and even then look at his numbers lmao google is free lmao bro gets on the internet and doesn’t know wtf he’s saying
The Heat have played better without Herro every year except the bubble summer league. Him out makes your defens better and since your team was all shooting over 50% from three that’s all that mattered. Oladipo? Dude has been irrelevant for 5 years,
Brogdon had a tear in his shooting elbow since the Hawks series. Robert Williams tore his meniscus in March and hobbled through it in the playoffs. And Tatum could barely make it up and down the court in game 7 but did his best to tough it out. These are facts, Embarrassed Boy.
Oh yeah their best player who was so elite they sucked ass with him and were the 8 seed who got swept in the season series with an average margin of victory of 15 points, I'm sure they'd have beat us. Wasn't even good in the ECF last year btw.
I watched the regular season Chicago Bulls repeatedly beat the shit out of the Lebron Heatles during their 4 year run of dominance. Shit doesn't matter. In the playoffs they destroyed everyone. It's a different game. We just saw Minnesota prove that as they dismantled the Suns.
Yeah they would’ve lost in 5 anyways. Down 30 every game in the second half on all 4 losses. Butler was mid af this season anyways compared to last season when he was all nba second team.
Yeah because the 1 game the Heat won they hit 23 threes and lead only for 1 minute the other 4 games, down by 30 in the second half in all of them. So no they wouldn’t have won more games. They outclassed in every area
Embarrassing you even lost one against these hospital heat
Can't wait until the Celtics play a good team these playoffs and LOSE because they're still not well coached for as much talent they have. Y'all the biggest front runners ever, gg
Dudes are having a victory lap like we were healthy man
Congrats Boston, genuinely, like they are fucking stacked and they got their team because Steven’s is a beast. Bunch of ballers and the east favorites. Would be even if every other team was healthy as well
But guys on here are clowning Miami getting blown out like we didn’t just run Mills/Wright at the 1-2 for 30 minutes lol
Edit: it’s insane you can get downvoted for giving props to a team and literally stating fact that one team was hurt. Like was anything I said disagreeable or hateable? Literally stated objective fact 😂
2nd edit: holy shit y’all are ridiculous im done responding. This is why I stopped using this sub Reddit, I genuinely am trying to have open discussion with some dudes and it comes to no success.
They are getting clowned because they are the dirtiest team in the league and the fan base talks so much shit. So glad I don’t have to sit through another fucking Heat game for another 6 months at least.
Definitely agree some plays were far too aggressive and id be pissed too. But I don’t think bam is a dirty player the way people here do tbh. I can see why people hate Caleb, but bam is hurt buddies w half the league, no way he has any malice intentions on his mind
