I genuinely haven’t seen this much hate for the Miami Heat since they got called “bubble guppies” by everyone in May 2021.
It’s funny how majority of the people weren’t calling us contenders but yet treat every Heat loss like we’re the 2017 Warriors.
They’re also clowning Giannis going to the Heat but would’ve clowned the Heat for missing out on him.
You just gotta laugh at this point.

Are they playing well right now? Absolutely not.
Nobody is arguing that. They have plenty to figure out.
But the Miami Heat have people taking victory laps over their preseason predictions before the first Sunday of the season.
All I am saying is don’t let them get hot.

Interesting enough, that team eliminated Miami in the playoffs
Simmons
Redick
Covington
Saric
Embiid
That team eventually won 52 games and earned themselves the 3rd seed in the east

This stat suggests I should panic. But I’m not — I’m just frustrated.
They look unprepared & not connected.
As happy as I would be after a 3-0 start w/ a bunch of blowouts, I can’t get myself to panic at the inverse.
There will be peaks/valleys. Let’s hope things change soon.

Only 11 teams in NBA history have started 0-3 with a point differential of minus-45 or worse and made the playoffs.
The last one was the 2017-18 Philadelphia 76ers.
The Heat are now 0-3 with a minus-49 point differential.
The Miami Heat's minus-42 point differential through two games is their worst to begin a season in franchise history, per @Stathead.

Bobby Portis triple from the corner.
Pelle Larsson from the left wing after a Portis steal.
Heat now down nine.
Keep going. 🔥

Last night was weird with foul trouble, but Bam goes through an adjustment period every time there are major changes to roster, role, system. That’s the pattern. Every change means a different balance between playmaking and shot creation. This team needs both at different times.

I have not enjoyed watching the Miami Heat through three games.
Even with Giannis, feels like the same movie.
Everything looks difficult.

Heat trailing by 20.
The Hornets (playing without Kon Knueppel and Coby White) lost by 47 to the Hawks last night.

I have seen this same Miami Heat turd quarter (derogatory) 34,769 times.

It’s regressed in the second.
Communication on that end looks off.
@hothothoops @5ReasonsSports #HEATNation
Still plenty to clean up with the discipline on closeouts/pump fakes on defense, but I think the Heat’s activity and disposition looks better through one quarter.

Have appreciated Bam’s aggressive today.
This should be the norm, not the exception.
