I really doubt they will be able to retain all of them this offseason. To be more precise, if any team needing a PG is not pricing Gabe Vincent out of the Heat budget they need to fire their GM ASAP. These are the type of role players that helps to build a winning mentality.
No chance. Someone is going to give Vincent the bag and Strus should get decent money too but probably not like Vincent.

Nuggets defense is kinda underrated. They're a pretty solid unit when they want to be
Re: The NBA Begins by donlittle25: 3:30am On Jun 08, 2023
Bro jokic.

20 rebounds

shocked
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:30am On Jun 08, 2023
Jokic is the best player in the league and it is not even close!

This man has 20 Rebounds!
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:32am On Jun 08, 2023
This kid Braun again. These are the hungry cats you need to counter the Heat

Bro. It’s ridiculous. He makes it look easy. The rebounds. The points. The assists.

I have never seen anything like it.

Denver wan kill Heats today.

Murray turned up today and see the difference.

Will the Nuggets have another 4th quarter collapse?

Maybe game 4. This one O.T Law

The Heat are getting away with some serious physical abuse on a Jokic. Malone needs to find minutes for Braun because his minutes are impactful for them.

Like I said!

This is what MAGA Mike can't do oh. Just tall for nothing. Can't cut, can't use his size to take the ball to the rack. Just catch and spam 3s

You are right about retaining them but their success has largely been because of the Heat system, style and coaching.
I’d like to see them to get paid because they deserve it but I don’t think they will replicate this level of success on another team.


But if you bring them to a team and they start out working your franchise player, and said franchise player refuses to step up, you know then and there it's time to reset and start over. The heat culture is something that can be replicated easily, the harder task is getting a coach with Spoelstra coaching acumen.
A team like sixers would benefit from this, that body fat metric would do wonders for Embiid and the work ethic can also bring forth a more complete version of Maxey

Larry Bird is the closest thing I have seen and maybe K. Mchale but more Bird than anything.

The Heat culture is the system and hierarchy is a big reason Spoelstra has succeeded and no, culture is quite difficult to replicate because it is not driven by one person. If it was that easy then every team will be successful because they will buy the culture. The Heat have the most stable leadership in Riley and Zo. They are responsible for the recruiting and establishing expectations. Spoelstra is a great coach, the best right now but make no mistake about it, the system is why the Heat have thrived.

Shaq was overweight when the Lakers trades him to the Heat and in the following season he returned with 6 packs on his way to another championship because the Heat system is not for slackers and is intense. You can send Spo to the Sixers but if the culture of accountability is not replicated from top to bottom, then there is not much Spo can do. Embiid is lazy and entitled, he would not survive Miami Heat culture if he was sent there sef.

That's what I am saying, if you start it and most of the role players are up for it, but the franchise guy is the one against, that in itself is a statement that not only is he not a winner, he also is not willing to learn how to be one.

Coach Malone actually needs to work on the way his team just lose intensity when they have a huge lead in the 4th quarter
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:06am On Jun 08, 2023
I don't recall two teammates having 30pt triple doubles in NBA history

The Heat are a well conditioned team. I notice they cover and full court press. They will not let you get into your sets and next thing you know two turnovers and back to back made 3s momentum has shifted. Explains why they have 7 double digit comebacks

It's almost like the Nuggets play better when the game is close
Re: The NBA Begins by larride(m): 4:11am On Jun 08, 2023
Game 4 will tell us whether that game 2 was a fluke or not.

Yes they play better when the game is close. See Jeff Green shouting at them not to play with the game with 2mins down.

Game 4 will tell us whether game 2 was a fluke or not. If those threes dont fall in, Maimi cant beat this Denver.
Re: The NBA Begins by chic2pimp(m): 11:42am On Jun 08, 2023
The Nuggets will win the next 2 games and complete a gentleman sweep. They are simply the much better team and most importantly have by far Better players.

Lol this Ja Morant nigga just doesn't get it does he?

If I'm Silver I'd add 5 games to his 50 game minimum suspension just for insulting my intelligence with that lie

The NBA will be making a grievous mistake and enabling bad behavior if they don't give him a lengthy suspension

They get bored. That team really doesnt have a bench. The bench itself is a good NBA team. And if they keep everybody, they will be in the finals next year. As it is, two of their forwards are not even playing at their full potential yet. They drop 25 10 some days, then stink it up other days.

Hard Take:

The Miami Heat as presently constructed with Butler and Bam as their best players will not get over the hump and win a championship because neither player can average 30-35 points in a 7 game series.

Neither Bam or Butler commands a double team. They have a good and defensive minded coach that allows all-star caliber players to maximize their chances. And that is what Heat basketball wants - good system players that can knock down shots and play D. Had the Heat started the playoffs in the west, I dont think they even get past the playins

Heat like system players who hustle hard, but you will always need superstar talent above a disciplined roster. A la Wade/Shaq, Lebron/Wade
