Heat got swept in the 1st round and not a single tag from @Draje until two years later.

:wow:

Imagine using a COVID riddled shortened season to act like it’s a fluke that the Heat have been contenders for 3 outta 4 seasons :heh:

Wasn’t that same year that Curry missed the playoffs, you moron?

@Draje's coward ass hid for two years and now he pops his c00n ass head outta the rock he was hiding under, thinking he can talk shyt.




I had the Bucks winning the whole thing too, so I completely get where you're coming from. It'll be even more of an uphill battle for everyone with Giannis on The Revenge Tour next season.
I foresee the Heat falling off.

They'll go from having the #1 record in the East, to not even having a top-4 record in their conference this season. They've made no notable acquisitions, lost PJ and didn't replace him, and a number of their main players' best days are behind them (which will catch up to them sooner rather than later).

A trade(s) is the only thing saving them from becoming obsolete.

Your c00n ass was tagging me talking about the Heat being healthy and trending upwards in time for the playoffs. fukk outta here with these excuses now. Then when they got swept in the 1st round and I was tagging you, you never responded. Not once. Everyone was at your neck and you disappeared off the face of the Earth.

Both @BigMoneyGrip and @god shamgod were tagging you at the time and you went MIA.

I could care less about what seasons you had them as contenders. You're a fan of the team so you're not going to discuss this shyt in an objective manner. But at least you could keep the same energy when things don't go your way. You've tagged/quoted me over the last day about 100x more than you have over the last two years, all because your team is in a comfortable position. If they weren't you'd be MIA for another season.

Shameless behavior.

You been talking crap for 4 seasons and I been consistent that the Heat were playoff contenders that deserve respect.

We keep showing it and you keep coming up with dumbass excuses trying to downplay the Heat.

You tagged me in regular season BS and thought I was embarrassed about losing in 7 to the Celtics with Jimmy injured and your goofy ass is STILL trying to downplay the Heat.

Y’all were tagging me in regular season BS while I was waiting for the playoffs and I was right because we don’t give a shyt about the reg season. You and them other fakkits

Called us fake contenders that would be irrelevant and obsolete yet we’re here again.

You’re wrong about the Heat and you been wrong. Cry about it.

If you believed all this nonsense you wouldn't have disappeared after they got swept in the 1st round, after you were tagging me in this thread during the regular season. Even shamelessly attaching yourself to Julius Randle just to get one up on me, which ended up leaving you further behind. I bet you haven't even mentioned him since.

This is the behavior I'm talking about.

You don't get to make a prediction about how it's going to rain tomorrow, and then turn up the following week when it finally does rain and get to claim you're right.

You've lost the privilege long ago of having an honest discussion about your team.

Just know if you wanna troll, I'll troll you 10x harder. It'd be like that.

We lost in the first round in a COVID riddled shortened seasoned that had the entire league looking wonky and we lost to the eventual champions. The Heat had to postpone multiple games because COVID ravaged the team and we didn’t have s enough players to suit up.

You already stated that contending teams can get knocked out early in the playoffs if they’ve played other contending teams so 2021 means nothing.

The Warriors didn’t even make the playoffs that season.

You sad Randle sucks and i said he’s a decent player. He ended up getting the MIP and helping lead the Knicks to the playoffs. I don’t really care but sure, you got me lol?

You said the Heat were obsolete and weren’t actual contenders for two years yet here we are. You said we’d get knocked out by the Eventual Champion Bucks and that the Celtics were way out of our league but now you’ve gone silent as hell about where we stand.

I’ve been right. The Jimmy led Heat have been contenders since the Bubble and there was nothing fake about what they showed, same as the Nuggets. 3 ECF since I made that statement so where was I wrong?

Are the Heat a good team or not?

Oh, so now you wanna have a proper discussion after ducking me for two years and then popping out tagging me with some troll shyt?

:lolbron:

Yes, the Heat are a good team. I haven't said anything to the contrary that would state otherwise, however, the difference here is, I do not think they're as good as you've tried to convince everyone of over recent years. Especially since you haven't had the same energy for the last two postseasons that you're having right now. Getting swept in any round pretty much rules a team out of being a contender, and that's why they weren't in 2021. It's not about them losing that series, it's about how they lost. I don't think they were in 2020 either, it's just the conditions that allowed them to get to the Finals were unforeseen, hence why they didn't even win a playoff game the following year when it was under a normal playoff setting.

Funnily enough I made this thread last season - https://www.thecoli.com/threads/is-this-the-season-the-heat-finally-put-it-all-together.881920/

I was hyping them up last year as the final stage of their current iteration. I thought that would be their last chance with this group, so it's not as if I've taken a hard stance against them being a contender, I just don't think they've been a contender every season like you claim they have. You can believe whatever you want as a fan, but it doesn't make it true just because you want them to be.

And as it stands right now, I still wouldn't classify them as a contender this season. That doesn't mean they can't be as we get deeper into this series and whatever happens in the Finals.

Lol saying the heat aren’t a contender when they six wins away from a chip is NUTS
I guess for me the definition is different. It's not about wins/losses or whatever stage a team is at.

The 2021 Hawks were six wins away from a championship, did you classify them as contenders?

I was talking shyt when we were down against the Celtics last year and I was hear when we lost. All I said is Jimmy is a superstar player and the Heat are contenders. :heh:

But you know what? Outside of the Heat stuff, I actually don’t mind your basketball takes and you a logical Curry/Warrior Stan so no ill will. :salute:
