I don't think these results should be terribly surprising. The unique circumstances of the bubble and some unsustainable play created hubris and unrealistic expectations for this Heat squad. It's just not a very talented team and Milwaukee is a different beast when they have their home crowd.
The lack of investment in the window of this Heat core speaks to how management feels about their title chances. But Butler isn't getting any younger and I don't see much future upside on the roster either. You guys tried arguing with me about Herro but we have a big enough sample size outside of the bubble to see what type of player he is (and isn't).
