We were in the play in because the roster is dog ****, jimmy should not have to average playoff jimmy numbers at 34 for us to be a non play in team. We have needed another guy who can consistently create easy offense for themselves and others we neglected that since dragic left.
Too many heat fans blame jimmy instead of the front office for going multiple year with literally zero years and on too often that letting playoff starters walk without correctly replacing them. Hence us getting worse since 22
Exhibit A of us being garbage even with jimmy being super impactful in the regular season look beyond the box score:

2. You are completely wrong the rozier trade was a spo sponsored move to attempt to make up for us not fully perusing dame the way we should have. We held herro too high and that kept us from upgrading a contending roster when he obviously didn’t fit
You are saying the same old homer heat culture points with the “jimmy asked for Lowry”..As if that was a bad thing lets check, we were the #1 seed in the east when we got lowry when bam jimmy and herro missed alot of games in 2022 he was our only consistent guy. Saying an nba champion and a respected competitor across the league isn’t a heat player is the exact reason we are in the situation. Comparing his impact to rozier when every metric says lineups were better with lowry and significantly worse with terry.
You say lowry isn’t a heat player but herro who never put the team first when we were close to a championship even tho we were literally better without him. He was only focused on his individual success and he’s a heat player right? Exactly what the heat have become, hypocrites. Also calling herro out vs jimmy isn’t similar at all, one has not proven **** when it mattered and one literally had the franchise on his back and led us to our 3rd best era in heat history
We went to the ECF and FINALS with Lowry playing a big role, so tell me why that is looked at as a bad suggestion by jimmy? It’s literally the best move the heat made in that era. The team has gotten worse since lowry was traded. On top of that we traded a first round pick for terry rozier who is terrible and could have been acquired without giving up a first..
Just one of the many bad asset management moves the heat made since lebron left, they could have simply let lowry big contract expire and made moves in free agency to improve instead they got rozier and literally did NOTHING for the 2nd straight year..but jimmy fault right? Hold the FO accountable
And im not betting on the knicks..**** the Knicks, im just keeping it real. They have a brighter future than us right now and have been operating alot better than before . You have to take the heat culture visions off to fully realize bow bad this organization has been for years now but playoff jimmy, bam and spo have willied us to multiple deep playoff runs in spite of the front office doing the BARE MINIMUM.
I love the heat, but i don’t recognize what they have become. They are drunk off heat culture kool aid, they aren’t adapting they are stuck in their ways and are praying and wishing another star falls in their lap like jimmy did. But nowadays u actually have to plan to acquire stars with your assets, you can’t just wait and hope they hit free agency that method is dead
Longest post i ever made but it’s worth the read lol
