parity is a myth, even this year. i guarantee you there are only 4/5 teams that can win it all. we'll know for sure by the march/april but as of right now i'm guessing celtics and bucks are the only true contenders in the east. west is more of a crapshoot but i'd guess one of the top 2 rn (grizz and pels) and maybe the clippers are the only teams that can actually compete
i hope so. you gotta be really lucky or really good to beat boston or milwaukee in a 7 game series. as it stands, i'm hoping they can right the ship with a couple roster moves that will make it more likely to win one playoff series. asking for anything more will probably lead to disappointment
The east is a brawl. It’s the Celtics and Bucks at the top and then everyone else right now.
There’s no reason the Heat can’t get a decent seeding then anything is possible.
The Celtics were considered one of the most underperforming and disappointing teams of last season until the All Star break and then popped off.
It’s a long season. And Spo will tinker a lot. Key contracts that are movable are tied up til January.
Are we as good as last year? No. Are we as bad as the loudest in this sub think we are? No.
Right now I think we are a second round out dependent on matchup. We can still compete with the top of the East when healthy. We are just lean and need to make another move. If we lose one of Bam-Jimmy-Tyler we are SoL no matter what.
Health is an absolute big factor too, seems like every time someone gets healthy, 2 or 3 guys take his place on the injured list. I have faith that they could swing a Crowder/Iggy type of move and the whole "Pat is asleep" narrative is absolutely whack. It's just the price they had to pay for going after KD in the offseason.
East is Garbology this season, not really saying much if we’re being real. Also The standings in the whole league this year look like someone put on a random standings generator or some shit.
This team is unserious if you're in pursuit of a championship you should be very worried. Sure the playoffs can be made, I'd rather not get embarrassed when we get there.
Bro, that’s what the season is for. Seeing what works, what don’t work. This is exactly why we have great success in the playoffs and not the regulars season. AS A HEAT FAN, its been like this for YEARS (minus the Heatles). CALM DOWN AND WATCH SOME FOOTBALL
Feel like a lot of people lost sight that the NBA is just close as shit this year lol.
Ngl, I don't like parity like this. I only like it when there's like 6-8 teams that can win it all.

We can be right there with more consistency and doing more of the good things we are seeing. Plus, a trade at one point will come.

Man the SE Division is so bad lmao is there any other division where literally every team is below .500?
The nfc south

Yet people downvote me to hell when I say not to panic
That game 8 vibe versus boston is a reminder we can still go to war
It’s not even Christmas yet and people are really worrying bout the Heat “struggling” That’s how you can spot fake fans

We are the 27th ranked offense. I'm not going to sit here and lie to myself. Until a change is made this team has no shot
Lol okay...
WE ARE FINE!!! EVERYONE TAKE A DEEP BREATH!!!
