Cats want everything to be easy. Lose games, get a stud in the draft, win championships. It rarely works that way. Sometimes you have to sit through a down year where guys develop and learn how to win to get to where you want to be. Too many people try to short cut that process and wonder why their teams dont go anywhere

It also helps that Riley has implemented a winning culture with the Heat, even before the big 3 era.

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
Breh, I was getting CRUCIFIED in the Knicks thread for going against the tank. I was starting to think I was in the minority for being against the idea of tanking.


The Knicks core is old as fukk outside of Porzingis stop trying to draw comparisons to a team with much younger players. The Heat have a much younger core, and you're still incapable of seeing the difference.

i mean we did start bad in 2016 injuries and all but we were 3rd seed the year before...and id argue minus wade that roster was worse than this years

Yea I agree with 3rd seed being achievable next season if we continue the same play as this year. Even with all our injuries The only other team with a better record than us in the second half of the season was Golden State.

But Justise Winslow carrying us to that 3 seed at this stage in his career?

Our offensive rating was 107.7 this year (17th in the league). Our defensive rating was 106.7 (6th in the league). Winslow posted a defensive rating of 107 and an offensive rating of 88 :huhldup: :hhh: :scust: :scusthov:. They were 29th as a team in offensive rating at mid season.
