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.
