[Captain Crunch]

I still think we got enough to go .500

.500 is the very unlikely ceiling.
Realistically Heat win 30-35 games

Spoiler

With Silver blessing us at the lotto

“Now we’re on to rebuilding, I mean really rebuilding,” Riley said. “But at the same time, Coach’s attitude and my attitude is we want to win. And we don’t know what we really have. But we love Hassan (Whiteside), we love Josh (Richardson) and Justise (Winslow) and Tyler (Johnson) and a lot of the other young players that we have, so I think from that standpoint, it’s a wait and let’s see what happens. And then we’ll go from there. We’re rebuilding now. We’re not tweaking, like we did with the Big Three team. Or retooling, like we had to do right after LeBron left. We’re rebuilding, but we’re rebuilding to win now.”

Miami Heat President Pat Riley said Monday that the team views Chris Bosh’s career with the team as over, that the team no longer is working toward his return. “We are not,” Riley said in his office at AmericanAirlines Arena. “I think Chris is still open-minded. But we are not working toward his return.

“We feel that, based on the last exam, that his Heat career is probably over.” Asked if he felt Bosh’s NBA career was over, as well, Riley said, “that’s up to him.”

Bosh has been sidelined for the second half of each of the past two seasons due blood clots, recently failing the Heat’s preseason physical. “It’s pretty definitive from us, in our standpoint, that this is probably going to be a time where we really have to step back,” Riley said.

Riley said the team has been surprised by Bosh’s comments about the team. “It wasn’t like [gesture of washing his hands of it]. He wasn’t just written off,” Riley said. “That may have been his attitude and his perception of it, because he didn’t want to believe what was out there. That bothered me. He wasn’t written off. “Besides that, we did everything we could.”

Ethan J. Skolnick: Pat Riley says he has reached out to Chris Bosh to speak but did not receive a reply. Bosh will not be around the team for the time being.

This is gonna suck

This is gonna suck

Bosh being done is unfortunate, but as far as the team goes this season will be entertaining(likely fast paced offense, Dragic playing at an AS level, watching Winslow and JRich develop).

 

[HiphopRelated]

If Bosh ends up in Cleveland or the Bulls after he's released and that money comes back on the cap...

That would be the final nail.

Also noticed a certain point guard wasn't mentioned by Riley there

This is gonna suck

Some of us called it already while others were talking about snatching Westbrook

Dragic/Udrih/Weber
Johnson/Waiters/Richardson/Ellington
Winslow
Babbit/Williams/Johnson
Whiteside/Reed



I'm still confused at where our half-court offense will come from.

Our PF rotation and SF rotation is about to be straight ass without Deng/JJ/Bosh too

If we don't have Babbit out there, teams are just gonna stack the paint. This gonna be a hilarious season

Bet your entire 2016/2017 season on financial flexibility while getting rid of your franchise player, brehs

Replace Dwayne Wade with Kobe Wade while getting rid of the best mentor for your upcoming star perimeter players, brehs

Have Derrick Williams or Luke Babbit be your starting PF for a playoff bound team, brehs

We here we did it

People sleep on how big this moment was for the Heat but this is the shot that made Pop take Duncan out of the game in that game 6 finals series. The one that allowed us to get the rebound.

That threat of Bosh knocking this down, again, is what Pop was thinking of.

Salute to my favorite PF

No matter what haters say, I think you one if the classiest brehs in the league and you got as much sheer Heart of any of the Miami greats

I hope we see your jerseys in the rafters too.

My favorite PF ever and one of the most underrated talents in the league , I'll miss you

 

[954UAlreadyknow]

I still think we got enough to go .500

No way

 

[Makavalli]

Realistic is 25-32 wins in my estimation.

Well shyt if that happens maybe coach spo can finally get fired. No stars to bail him out this time around so he gotta have an offense set up
