It seems that only the Heat's front office was fooled by the fools gold of the recent seasons. This game was not lost due to injuries, it was lost due to to a poor roster and the Fraudfather's unwillingness and inability to improve it.

We lost because of a lack of BBW's

Kyle Kuzma, Jerami Grant, Kelly Oubre, Kristapz Porzingis, D'Angelo Russell and Caris Lavert were some of the marquee 'non-star' unrestricted free agents available this past summer. We didn't even take a look at any of these guys. You add any one of these players to our current roster and we likely win a few more games during the regular season and avoid the play-in all together.

Jrue Holiday, OG Anunoby, Dejounte Murray, Bobby Portis, etc. are some examples of recent players that were traded that we didn't even target. Again, you add in any of these players to our main roster and we're a much more balanced team that likely wins several more games during the course of the regular season.

No knock against him, but the dude had his chance to shine with Jimmy and Rozier out and he failed to capitalize. He would be a good fit on a team that doesn't need him to handle the ball or be a main option

We got too many wings. We don’t need to go back to 90s basketball or anything, but there are so many forwards on here.



I’m getting deja vu. Wasn’t this the same feeling we had when Brook Lopez sonned us and we drafted Precious?

Herro really fooled us all. Had he somehow gotten injured after that magical game 2 and not played another minute in this series we would all be convinced we go the distance against Boston with a healthy Herro :lol:


Good thing we found out the truth though.

We lost because we have too many one dimensional players. Boston's lineup features about 7 guys that are well skilled and can do various things. They can all shoot, dribble without turning over, get shots for themselves, and make plays for others

We have too many short guards and not enough 'true' forwards.

Herro is 6'5" with a 6'4" wingspan.
Rozier is 6'1".
Patty Mills is like 5'11".
Delon Wright is 6'2".
Caleb is 6'5".
Highsmith is 6'5".


We need to get lankier and taller. Jovic (6'10") at the 4 is a step in the right direction.

One of either Rozier or Herro will be gone next year no way you can play both of them together. Bam need to be paired up with a good big Jovic aint ready

Jovic will get better and deserves a bigger role but yeah regardless we need a good big. Love did what he could last year, came in fresh but too many years without a really solid back up.

The first part we have no choice to move one unless, Herro comes off the bench and we improve through other trades. Would have to trade the youngins though to get anything decent back.

Question is what would we get for Rozier in return? No way we get the same value back as what we gave up (basically a 2028 unprotected 1st rounder assuming the ‘27 pick owed conveys). Herro we’re stuck with until further notice unless we’re doling out more 1st rounders

Scratch KD off the list. Suns owner said he's running it back.

Jeez these last 3 games were pitiful. We weren’t even close. Got absolutely spanked.

Team USA recruiting thing is so overrated now. Players can easily talk to/ FaceTime each other everyday now. That legend of Wade Bosh, Bron talking about playing together on 2008 Team USA is before the real smartphone era

He's still young, offensive creator (that we are so lacking) on a decent contract. Why wouldn't we want him come back? We need horses for the regular season so we don't play play-in games next season again. Gotta get that 3rd or 4th seed

Seriously, where TF was HeatVols? Did he get banned? I tried to post BBWs before Game 4, but mine didn't work. I don't know where to find the magically disgusting, pure filth BBWs that HeatVols seems to have bookmarked.
