So how we feel about the season now that everything has settled?
Mixed bag for me.
-Wade’s send off was glorious especially with a triple double with his last assist going to Haslem but that could only happen because we missed the playoffs.
-We got really great young players on decent contracts but we’re also stuck with JJ and Waiters for 2 more seasons because Riley signed them way too long when there was no interest in either of them.
-Our young guys played pretty good and got to show out due to injuries. We saw J-Rich handle the scoring duties in the first part of the season, Winslow as PG in the middle, and Bam starting near the end. But either we have the worst medical team ever or we tend to like fragile players because their injuries pretty much up put us in NBA purgatory...AGAIN.
All in all, I think the team underachieved. I was hoping we’d tank but was scared we’d be a little too good and we’d make the playoffs but it turns out we’re not really that good in the new, better East.
Hopefully, the young guys take this season as a true building block and start to improve. Draft hasn’t seemed very deep so I hope we find something of value at our spot.

I’d been there plenty for hockey games, but that was the first basketball game I’d attended there. It was a great crowd. Another Paul Pierce sucks chant, and I think it was the lower level even that started it
Bustise seems like a mofo who likes to chill and take it easy but we've seen him work hard on the off-season like he did after the injury his second year to come back slimmer and healthier his 3rd year.
I'll refrain from giving him the "J" back until he's unarguably a top 2 play on this team, tho
For all the extra years he made us wait for him to put it together

Point Guard Winslow was the most impactful player on the team, outside of Wade. We were playing our best ball with him running the point. Give that man his J.
Pat Riley says Heat current roster ‘has not come together’ as he expected. What’s next?
So Pat pretty much admitted what most of us thought. He panicked after losing out on Hayward and Durant then gave out some 4 year deals.
“On July 1, I didn’t want to be left with nobody,” RIley explained. “After five days of Gordon having to make a decision, I didn’t want to lose some players we had. I do know James had a deal [elsewhere if Miami didn’t sign him]. It was my decision. I didn’t want to lose all three of them.”
▪ But why sign Waiters and Johnson and sacrifice so much cap space, with Miami projected to be more than $35 million above next season’s cap unless Whiteside and Dragic surprisingly opt out?
“We weren’t thinking of room after we lost Kevin Durant and Hayward,” Riley said. “We were thinking we had that 30-11 team come back [Miami’s record in the second half of the 2016-17 season]. We thought the contracts we gave were longterm contracts. That’s on me. You can put that all on me. We didn’t land Hayward and I didn’t want [to lose] the other two guys.”

And pat staying, not going to LA.
This delusional jackass really thought he had a shot at Hayward and KD 
His fukking college coach is the HC of the Celtics and they already had kyrie in the fold after losing in the ECF the year prior. You thought putting your dusty ass rings on the table would do the trick huh

Fix your mouth when you talk about the Godfather. Riles has been fukking up but he still turned us into one of the top tier franchises
