Wut da blood clot??: The Official Miami Heat 2015-16 Offseason Thread

[Primetime21]

breh, you can look at this team and say we're better than the Wolves?

I'm not relying on Bosh, so we got one dude in Hassan who is top 10 at his position on the team

As I said before, this team won 37 games two years ago with: Wade sitting out every other night, Bosh missing half of the season with his first occurrence of blood clots, Whiteside first NBA minutes since getting plucked from the d-league, Norris Cole/Danny Granger/Shawn fukking Williams getting major rotation minutes, and you are going to tell me with a straight face that this team is 10 wins worse than that? I can guarantee this post is going on the summer jam screen by the new year. Teams win games, wins arent determined by how many guys you have at the top 10 at their position. How many top 10 guys at their position did the Hawks, celtics, and hornets have? But they were still playoff teams right? Now how many did the Wizards have, and where did they end up?

I will cosign this.

This young Heat squad will surprise us.

I think we can reach 40 wins and sneak in as an 8th seed.

We're just gonna have to run every night and hope those 3's fall in. Hassan will be better in the interior this year and he'll have plenty of time to improve his passing ability. We won't have any tired legs, and we finally don't have to rely on an aging backup center any more. Our half court offense wont be so bad with Bosh, Dragic and Whiteside still here.

We don't have those 62 games of Wade to get buckets and find baskets for guys like Whiteside. There's maybe one single player on this team in Dragic who is even mediocre at creating offense for himself or others. Nobody else is even remotely capable of it. Are we expecting this production from second year spot up shooter josh Richardson? Winslow, who was ignored frequently by opposing defenses last year? McRoberts, who can't defend, rebound, dribble, or shoot and refuses to shoot unless he's standing under the rim unguarded? Dion waiters? This is going to be one of the five worst offenses in basketball.

It's going to be a completely different offense from what we've seen, with a bunch of a guys we've never seen play together. Nobody here can make a declaration that we're going to be one of the five worst offenses in basketball before they even see the team play, that's nonsense.

I think 30 of those wins came with Wade, so we went 7-13 without him... that's 29 games out of 82. We'll be a lot closer to 30 than 40 breh

Dudes don't appreciate how shyt our halfcourt game is yet. A whole lot of games will be massacres in the 4th quarter.

35 year old Wade was never going to be the difference for our team this year, we will go as far as the young fellas can take us.

nikkas don't get how important consistency in half court matters. We lost 3 of our best creators out of half-court sets in Deng, Wade, and Joe Johnson.

34 Wade was, by far, the best player and difference maker on our playoff team with Deng being the most consistent player but 35 year old Wade is suddenly less impactful than the young guys

He's still acting like the East was as weak as it was in 2014-2015 despite the fact that loads of teams have improved tremendously since then.

That 2014-2015 might be worse but they had better stars and individual talent (Bosh, Wade) to carry those players against weaker competition.

We have less individual talent but slightly more depth against better Eastern teams this year (Wizards, Atlanta, Bucks, Cleveland, Toronto, Boston are all much better now).
