D-Wait is over. Let the rebuild begin... The Official 2016-2017 Miami Heat Season Thread

[Makavalli]

I know spo wanted shooters around whiteside but the 1st half when they wasnt falling we were losing but 2nd half we strictly attacked the paint nad had like 70 of our pts there. Gotta play to our strengths instead of imitating gsw.

White gets so much attention that the double misses the other man and when reed come in they ignore him so he can sneak in the floater or hook shot so we good even if white gets into early foul trouble

I like our gritty ass dleague team fukk it tank wave or playoff lets go

YEah but that goes to my saying that everyoe jumps on a bandwagon at some point and either leaves it when things go back or stay on. I'm going to guess you didnt become a Niners fan when they were 2-12. You got on when they were hot and stayed on, right? Same thing for Every fanbase. You either

1. Become a fan because you are from there
2. Because a parent/close person was a fan
3. Was a fan of a specific player and remained after said player left
4. Jumped on a bandwagon while they were good and stayed with them when they dropped off

Absolutely Noone that doesnt fit the first 3 options above was just "becoming " a Lakers fan when their best players were Nick Van Excel and Elden Campbell. NONE. You either jumped on during the Magic/Kareem years or the Shaq and Kobe years. Why should that be any different for HEat fans? Sure Lebron brought us some more fans and some of them will leave with Lebron and some will stay. What's the problem here, doggy? Why do Heat fans always being singled out?

I was playing pee wee football when Roger Craig played for the Niners. But my point was Miami Dolphins were very good at the time. Just didn't like them.

I guess I saw the explosion of fans when Lebron came here. Same thing when Shaq came. It was overwhelming. When they had their down years the arena was empty or with fans of other teams. I've been to a few Laker's games in the Van Excel days. I would say it was packed with home fans. Like when Kareem and Kobe was there? Of course not. But still a very good crowd.

You are missing my point. When did they BECOME a fan?

Don't be mislead, man. During the pre-season all we did was attack the paint. That's what we do. But it's good to know that we got shooters too.

It's always the shyttiest fan bases that pull this nonsense too. Always jumping in other team threads and complaining about other fan bases. Usually it happens once a team gets good. Nowadays this stupidity is getting thrown at warriors fans. Why it stays getting directed at fans in Miami is beyond me since they're not a huge market team and don't really check off any criteria for bad fanhood.

Only thing that hurt my feelings is that dude is skinnier and hitting 3s now. Riley gotta be watching like after having tried to get him slim down and expand his range for so long. And now when he finally does he's wearing a different uniform

fukk that, dude earned his contract last season, we chose not to pay him. Hell, he shouldn't have needed to earn anything at this point

I lost count of how many years he was trying to get Wade to do those

he's playing with a fire that he should've been playing with in the 2014 Finals, maybe we could've made that series more competitive if he was motivated then. instead he was focused on keeping a bulky physique to flaunt his beach muscles, which wasn't good for his knees. had no desire or interest in shooting 3s to create a little more space for bron and bosh.

love DWade but he is definitely a diva and stubborn. He spent the last 5-6 years not working on his 3 because that "wasn't his game" even tho, it was common sense that in order for him to age more gracefully he would need to develop into at least a decent 3 point shooter. it took him getting "mad" to finally do it.

but I knew this would happen. I said it once he signed with the Bulls that he would come in motivated and shooting more 3s.

I dont care about "good fan base". What happens on the field of play is what matters. Again Not one fanbase championship trophy has ever been handed out that we know of.

But when people say we're a horrible fanbase it doesnt phase me. People have lives and sports isnt always their first priority. I dont recall seeing a game at the Arena since... probably Wade's rookie year since i moved to Atlanta right after. I've caught a few Heat games here in Atlanta during the Shaq and LeBron years when they would be in town and a few while traveling around the country and the Heat were in town (San Antonio, Dallas and Orlando). I have had a leaguePass account for the past 5 years and thats how i keep up with my team.
