i think what made strus & vincent so good for miami was the lack of respect they had from the opponents. it was like “ight he was good last game but he can’t do it again” and then it happened again & again.
Lmao as long as we have bald head lump ass darvin scam as coach and have both dlo and reaves starting only one can start so off the bench there threat to score also better for defense, as well getting prince out the league 😂, and putting back Ad back to Power forward
It's gonna be the same old story. Embiid enters the playoffs less than 70% healthy and regresses as the series progresses. Then folds in a 2nd round elimination game.
I too believe that Jimmy Butler deserves a championship more than any other player in the NBA, but I don't think the Heat can win the championship with these pieces. I think the lack of Damian Lillard will hurt them a bit in the playoffs. If the Heat and Bucks meet up for part 4 in the playoffs this year and the Bucks implode again, I think that'll be because of Doc's history of not making adjustments and because Jimmy will just have to go off again and that's just not sustainable. If the Heat can't get it done again, I think Jimmy should look for a trade.
It makes me kind sad that the Heat organization has been so lax in regards to putting the right pieces around Jimmy. The team is as good as they are because of Spo and Jimmy. Their ceiling is the Finals off that alone but only ever the Finals and NOT a championship.
It saddens me as I grow older, to see the players I grew up watching phase out of the NBA. Hopefully the young core can keep the league entertain-able.
Miami is not gonna win, but they might upset someone again. I still have Denver as the title favorites, they're just locked in at all levels and have the right blend of young talent and vets to go the distance. Would be sick if the Pelicans can make a deep run, almost no one is talking about them
Kawhi has stated before the season that he was finally healthy after years on the hip injury he has been dealing with. He has barely missed any games this year for that reason proving that to be true playing back to back consistently.
and that is why i hope he takes a rest now cause i really want him to be healthy during the playoffs they can win some games with harden and pg manning the team
All sudden he been healthy after 😂 10 years u do realize he never played a back to back game since 2013... The only reason he playing hella games fix clippers weren't giving him a contract lol
U just can’t say that about Boston man they need to prove they can make it past the dam Heat first without making assumptions like that or else u just like everyone else was last year regardless of how good they seem this year…
As a bucks fan, you are once again underestimating the dangerousness of Jimmy Butler and the heat. As a Marquette fan, I remember him going off several times and it's scary😅😂 no one wants to see them in the playoffs
As a Heat fan, I think we make it to the ECF. After that, it really depends on Terry and bam and how well they handle the offensive load. As we saw last year, Jimmy couldn’t keep up in the finals after that knicks injury and continuing to carry after that. The finals would have been really different if we had that round 1 Jimmy.
I really think it's between the Nuggets and Celtics this year. OKC is too young, Minnesota won't stand a chance without KAT, LAC need absolutely everything to go right, Milwaukee just don't give me a championship team vibe, Miami could make another surprise run but I too think thew don't have enough. And then there's a bunch of teams which I simply don't have faith in: NOP, SAC, LAL, GSW, PHX, DAL, CLE, NYK., PHI... Denver and Boston know who they are better than anyone challenging them.
Point, but the Celtics lost both games against the Nuggets this season. I believe the Nuggets are the next NBA dynasty. They're complete in all aspects. Size, scoring, shooting, playmaking, defense.
The one thing I want to point out is that Minnesota is optimistic KAT will be ready in time for the playoffs. Whether he's available right away in Game 1 or in the middle of a first round series is unknown. Otherwise you might be right about everything else.
As long as they have Rudy and NAZ REID MN will be fine. KAT puts up good numbers but in the playoffs his emotions get the best of him alot. Denver called the Wolves their toughest series and they didn't have Naz or Jaden. Thats a legit 7ft shooter and lockdown perimeter defender. They 4-3 without KAT already
As a Lakers fan, I know they're not winning the championship this year. They needed to be on and hot from the start of the season and keep that momentum, but a few things gradually didn't go their way and it's starting to show in the seedings. I think the best-case scenario is another WCF visit, but realistically it'll probably be the semi-finals.
Except for luka ant and sga the new generations is not looking that good tbh oh yeah wemby is also good but i feel like there’s an injury coming thats gonna change everything (i hope not tho)
Parity is trash for the nba. The league is better imo when there’s a top of the mountain type franchise like the lakers and Celtics the pistons, bulls, lakers, spurs, Miami warriors. The dynasties are obviously making history and when a random team wins in the midst of those dynasty those teams are always remembered.
I feel sad for the Warriors. The team just haven't complemented Stephen Curry's legendary gameplay ever since the championship in 2022 with the Jordan Poole incident and chemistry is just off. TBH, they could still win it all in a few seasons if the team develops more chemistry and add size as long as the core is healthy and playing well. They need to catch up to Curry if they wanna win it all again.
Miami won't be winning lol but I do wonder how far they'll go in the playoffs. Celtics lookin real strong right now. I honestly feel like the Nuggets might take it all again but I guess we'll see.
Lakers aren’t bad but don’t think they’re good enough to back to WCF. If they get the nuggets it’s a sweep. If they get Sac Town im not confident they can get 2 even tho lebron is great enough at this stage to get them 1. OKC I don’t hate their chance cause they are 2 small. Wolves offense is iffy. Pelicans Zion is looking like Duke Zion compared to play in so idk bout them. Suns have no depth. Mavs Kyrie and Luka are dangerous even tho jason Kidd playing maxi cost them cause he literally can’t get 5-10 points as a stretch big. Darvin ham worst coach than Steve Nash. Idk im rambling at this point.
Lakers have horrible back court defenselivy & horrible coach with bad rotations. Also they got rid of there shooters who guys who can't defend or score like a prince & cam can defend but he so shit other then that keeping shcorder Lonnie team would be much better.
Its funny when people describe Lebron but never see the issue saying he always needs more help...every team...so many teammates already switched...and so limited rings...but GOAT right?
how the wolves not a championship CONTENDING team? they not championship favorites, but they definitly CONTENDING. th best defense ITL with offensive star power is CONTENDING. plus they have deph and some playoff experience. if they get healthy enough in the playoff they are a problem. the suns weren't better in 2021 still made the finals.
As a Miami native and a Heat homer, I cannot confidently say they will win a championship with this current roster. However, I can't count them out because they are dawgs. We'll see if they make the playoffs after the play in, that's the first objective.
Kawhi has never LED a team to a chip. The raptors were primed for a finals appearance when he got there. Lebron left the East and left the door wide open. They were literally second in the east the very next season without Kawhi. They just didn’t have a go to scorer. They tried to run through Siakam but it didn’t work in the playoffs. He wasn’t the leader he was the missing piece, that simple.
I do actually think they can win a championship. They reached the finals and took a game off the nuggets (which the Lakers didn't do) without Tyler Herro. He's back and Jaquez playing amazing, they certainly have a chance.
Most likely only team can't beat them is lakers if they actually had a coach who uses his brain and play big or minsota but they to young & suns cuz they have coach who plays big when he needs to but not to much on them ehh
lol @ kevin durant part "ALL of his teams since leaving golden state", you mean his two teams, the nets and the suns lol? Is that what you mean by "all"? lmao
Denver and Boston are the two best teams in the league and are on a collision course to square off in the finals overall. I will say the Mavs have a good chance to get to the conference finals if things go right.🏀💯
Jimmy Buckets is my fav player, but they will 1000% not win a chip with this team. Butler atm is a perfect 1B/2A on a championship squad, not the primary go-to MVP-candidate Superstar.
We need a CENTER… u right we deserve a ring but we need someone that can atleast contend with Jokic and Porzingis. I LOVE Bam, but size gotta matter at some point… Dwight or someone man
The Sacramento kings might have to be the weirdest team in the NBA to try to figure out if they can take that next step or not overall and I really can't tell if they are going to or not depending on how they are going to play.🏀
Man as a huge KD fan you’re probably right. He’s an amazing player and I don’t think it’s talent that has held him back. He’s just not a vocal leader and he keeps being part of these injury prone ass teams. Should’ve just stayed in GS.
😂😂 warriors have a Kerr problem. Dude know Wiggins isn't reliable, but Kerr doesn't want reward moody game time over Wiggins like what they did for kuminga and pod. Pod replaced Klay and it helped in winning giving Curry stability. Kuminga replaced looney. All warriors need is for moody to replace Wiggins and have have to solid sides. C. Draymond or Davis F. Kuminga F. Moody G. Pod G. Curry * C. Davis or saric F. Wiggins F. GP2 G. Lester G. CP3
Boy oh boy where do I even begin. Lebron... honey, my pookie bear. I have loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. The way you drive into the paint and strike fear into your enemies eyes. Your silky smooth touch around the rim, and that gorgeous jumpshot. I would do anything for you. I wish it were possible to freeze time so I would never have to watch you retire. You had a rough childhood, but you never gave up hope. You are even amazing off the court, you're a great husband and father, sometimes I even call you dad. I forvever dread and weep, thinking of the day you will one day retire. I would sacrifice my own life it were the only thing that could put a smile on your beautiful face. You have given me so much joy, and heartbreak over the years. I remember when you first left clevenland and its like my heart got broken into a million pieces. But a tear still fell from my right eye when I watched you win your first ring in miami, because deep down, my glorious king deserved it. I just wanted you to return home. Then allas, you did, my sweet baby boy came home and I rejoiced. 2015 was a hard year for us baby, but in 2016 you made history happen. You came back from 3-1 and I couldn't believe it. I was crying, bawling even, and I heard my glorious king exclaim these words, "CLEVELAND, THIS IS FOR YOU!" Not only have you changed the game of basketball and the world forever, but you've eternally changed my world. And now you're getting older, but still the goat, my goat. I love you pookie bear, my glorious king, Lebron James.☺️♥️🫶🏻
For the heat I feel it all comes down to circumstances. You can put an asterisk/footnote on damn near every championship run - if this hadn’t happened then x, if that shot went in then y, etc. no one would have had Toronto winning the chip in 2019. I know we tired of it but KD foot behind the line = Giannis entering no man’s land. All that to say, it’s possible. They’ve got a good enough team, a war machine coach, and a culture that’s so palpable and exists beyond any single player/roaster. They are no Denver or Boston, but they were calling jokic a stat merchant until the gang got healthy concurrently, and Boston went down 3-1 to an 8th seed then remembered how to play ball and the heat were hit with the MIB pen.
What's crazy is, if the season were to end today, LeBron would STILL be on a all-nba team. 20 straight years of being all-nba is insane. KD , Steph, and LeBron have SHATTERED, what people think of when it comes to longevity
Playoffs are all about consistency. Any of these teams could pop off sure, but I've seen a lot of them just get completely clowned on. Denver is the most consistent and solid I'd say. Boston is fairly consistent too but I think Denver's size overcomes their small ball, and let's be honest Tatum just ain't the guy. As a Bulls fan, I'm always rooting for Jimmy...still remember him riding the Bulls bench and getting garbage minutes with 2 minutes left in the game and Thibs threw him in when we were up 20 or something, thinking he actually looked like a solid guy. And I watched a few Kings games this year when they were on prime time TV....fun as hell to watch. Rooting for them as well.
Lakers are trending in the right direction. They’re good in the clutch, are scoring efficiently now and they have a healthy AD + Bron. Their perimeter defense is their weakness, but if they get Vando & Vincent back they’ll matchup well v every time except for Denver.
Miami is still missing that piece unfortunately :( Warriors and Lakers don't have enough gas. Celtics look great on paper but they do that every year. Honestly to me it's Nuggs again
I couldn't agree more with you saying the Celtics shoot more 3s than they need, Also the Wolves losing Kat Is a problem and disappointment, Butler needs more help, last year was there best chance
Maturing is realizing KD was the best player on those warriors team. I know they won before and after KD but saying he can’t be the best player in a championship team is false
Warrior fan. The core 3’s biggest problem is consistency. Klay will have 2 great games and then a bad one. Steph will have a cold week and then a hot week from 3. Draymond also is every other game. Their age hasn’t taken their talent, but it has taken their consistency. They have beaten the best teams in the league, Boston, Bucks, Lakers etc.. but then lose to the worst teams like Spurs. Which shows they aren’t a championship team.
Finally a Warriors fan with some sense lol. Sadly your team is a shell of what it used to be, with flashes of the old Klay and others. Still love me some Steph and wish him the best but he can't carry that team too far. If everyone on that team plays well and performs you guys are dangerous but like you said, that cannot be done consistently it seems. A deep run is gonna be tough.
@@fuzzybanana0123 - I held out hope earlier in the season when Kelly went to the bench and Kuminga got hot. But the Warriors dont have enough scoring threat with Podz in over Klay. The Warriors only chance at a deep run THIS year would be if Klay has a full return to form, Steph has one of those crazy hot months, and Wiggins can snap out of it. But that’s too may “Ifs” to expect anything except a first round exit. Also Kerr would need to have the balls to play Steph 35-38+ minutes a game, and he never plays him more than 30. Warriors only shot next year would be to sign a big name free agent. Looks like PG13 is the only one I see that “Might” make them contenders.
Im still believing in my clippers to make the ecf…I know the nuggets gonna be waiting but still I have to believe! This the best chance since we’ve had kawhi to go far
No injuries barely any big ones beise Memphis all the young teams are way better now lakers have all time shit coach and warriors have fallen behind carried by Steph is why the west so deep
lebalco just has to make trip down to Miami, and his team keep getting four times the free throws of their opponents, then you will see him in the WCF.
The Heat can’t win a championship without a star guard. They need more star power to win the championship but they have an abundance of everything else a team needs to win a championship lol

east is stacked, wouldn’t be surprised if they actually don’t. embiid has actually gotten pretty unlucky with his injuries especially in the playoffs
It's gonna be the same old story. Embiid enters the playoffs less than 70% healthy and regresses as the series progresses. Then folds in a 2nd round elimination game.
I'll shut him down. What's the point of him returning

The Heat are sadly such as CHEAP franchise. The pieces they have aren’t talented enough.
It makes me kind sad that the Heat organization has been so lax in regards to putting the right pieces around Jimmy. The team is as good as they are because of Spo and Jimmy. Their ceiling is the Finals off that alone but only ever the Finals and NOT a championship.
Why?
He choked big time when he had the opportunity
Why would he leave when they only need one more piece
@@freddyfox5002he didn’t choke he was undermanned against in the nuggets if that’s that case Lebron choked in 2007 2015 2018
It saddens me as I grow older, to see the players I grew up watching phase out of the NBA. Hopefully the young core can keep the league entertain-able.
they definitely will. i’ve been watching this whole season this year and one of the bright points is that the younger players value DEFENSE
im sick of the lebron/curry/kd era tbh. i gladly welcome new teams/players
Sga, Antman, Luka, and Tatum are greatly helping with that
and giannis too although he kinda getting old@@dylanbechtell3756
Miami is not gonna win, but they might upset someone again. I still have Denver as the title favorites, they're just locked in at all levels and have the right blend of young talent and vets to go the distance. Would be sick if the Pelicans can make a deep run, almost no one is talking about them
Heat are so weird cause I feel like they could take down ANY team in the east, but none of the top 5 in the west

Then allas, you did, my sweet baby boy came home and I rejoiced. 2015 was a hard year for us baby, but in 2016 you made history happen. You came back from 3-1 and I couldn't believe it. I was crying, bawling even, and I heard my glorious king exclaim these words, "CLEVELAND, THIS IS FOR YOU!" Not only have you changed the game of basketball and the world forever, but you've eternally changed my world. And now you're getting older, but still the goat, my goat. I love you pookie bear, my glorious king, Lebron James.☺️♥️🫶🏻
For the heat I feel it all comes down to circumstances. You can put an asterisk/footnote on damn near every championship run - if this hadn’t happened then x, if that shot went in then y, etc. no one would have had Toronto winning the chip in 2019. I know we tired of it but KD foot behind the line = Giannis entering no man’s land. All that to say, it’s possible. They’ve got a good enough team, a war machine coach, and a culture that’s so palpable and exists beyond any single player/roaster. They are no Denver or Boston, but they were calling jokic a stat merchant until the gang got healthy concurrently, and Boston went down 3-1 to an 8th seed then remembered how to play ball and the heat were hit with the MIB pen.
What's crazy is, if the season were to end today, LeBron would STILL be on a all-nba team. 20 straight years of being all-nba is insane. KD , Steph, and LeBron have SHATTERED, what people think of when it comes to longevity
Playoffs are all about consistency. Any of these teams could pop off sure, but I've seen a lot of them just get completely clowned on. Denver is the most consistent and solid I'd say. Boston is fairly consistent too but I think Denver's size overcomes their small ball, and let's be honest Tatum just ain't the guy.
As a Bulls fan, I'm always rooting for Jimmy...still remember him riding the Bulls bench and getting garbage minutes with 2 minutes left in the game and Thibs threw him in when we were up 20 or something, thinking he actually looked like a solid guy.
And I watched a few Kings games this year when they were on prime time TV....fun as hell to watch. Rooting for them as well.
Forgot to update the kawhi graphic
I think he even said the team is 2 games below 500 and I don’t think that’s true
What about the okc thunder ?????
kd be playing high too much in the playoffs
Lakers are trending in the right direction. They’re good in the clutch, are scoring efficiently now and they have a healthy AD + Bron. Their perimeter defense is their weakness, but if they get Vando & Vincent back they’ll matchup well v every time except for Denver.
I love this guy's sigh at the end. Only one who does it and it's so refreshing to follow along.
Miami is still missing that piece unfortunately :(
Warriors and Lakers don't have enough gas. Celtics look great on paper but they do that every year.
Honestly to me it's Nuggs again
I’m so ready for playoff basketball
I couldn't agree more with you saying the Celtics shoot more 3s than they need, Also the Wolves losing Kat Is a problem and disappointment, Butler needs more help, last year was there best chance
Maturing is realizing KD was the best player on those warriors team. I know they won before and after KD but saying he can’t be the best player in a championship team is false
Warrior fan. The core 3’s biggest problem is consistency. Klay will have 2 great games and then a bad one. Steph will have a cold week and then a hot week from 3. Draymond also is every other game. Their age hasn’t taken their talent, but it has taken their consistency. They have beaten the best teams in the league, Boston, Bucks, Lakers etc.. but then lose to the worst teams like Spurs. Which shows they aren’t a championship team.
Finally a Warriors fan with some sense lol. Sadly your team is a shell of what it used to be, with flashes of the old Klay and others. Still love me some Steph and wish him the best but he can't carry that team too far. If everyone on that team plays well and performs you guys are dangerous but like you said, that cannot be done consistently it seems. A deep run is gonna be tough.
@@fuzzybanana0123 - I held out hope earlier in the season when Kelly went to the bench and Kuminga got hot. But the Warriors dont have enough scoring threat with Podz in over Klay. The Warriors only chance at a deep run THIS year would be if Klay has a full return to form, Steph has one of those crazy hot months, and Wiggins can snap out of it. But that’s too may “Ifs” to expect anything except a first round exit. Also Kerr would need to have the balls to play Steph 35-38+ minutes a game, and he never plays him more than 30. Warriors only shot next year would be to sign a big name free agent. Looks like PG13 is the only one I see that “Might” make them contenders.
Im still believing in my clippers to make the ecf…I know the nuggets gonna be waiting but still I have to believe! This the best chance since we’ve had kawhi to go far
Klay is no longer Klay, and Draymon is no longer Dramon. Curry will never won another ring. They should have traded Klay or Draymon or both.
Golden state - LA Lakers will be such a great playin game. I can see both teams not making the playoffs unless pho, sac or dal has a major injury
If Miami gets paired against Boston in Round 1 and beats them, they'll go to the finals. Only issue, they cant beat Denver
No injuries barely any big ones beise Memphis all the young teams are way better now lakers have all time shit coach and warriors have fallen behind carried by Steph is why the west so deep
Swish ik u a jcole fan just wondering if ur going to tune into the rap beef or cover it
lebalco just has to make trip down to Miami, and his team keep getting four times the free throws of their opponents, then you will see him in the WCF.
These are great takes dude 🔥
The Heat can’t win a championship without a star guard. They need more star power to win the championship but they have an abundance of everything else a team needs to win a championship lol
They have Tyler Herro
@@LloydAlmighty the guard need to be like Steph or 2 way elite guard which he is neither lol so yeah he great player but no that
@@LloydAlmighty Tyler Herro is very nice but is he a championship caliber guard no
Just trade jimmy to the warriors with wiggins money +kuminga and podz heat should rebuild
that luka pass will forever be a joke
Miami dont got the star-power other than Jimmy Butler to win a championship. 🤷♂🤷♂
Anything can happen, would be great to see Jimmy get a ring
Miami winning it all. I think herro droppin at least one 40 piece in the playoffs
Rozier look so haitian i thought his name was spelled “Thierry” 😭😭😭
So he basically believes the Nuggets or Celtics will win
Clippers been slumping cause of the Westbrook injury
Wtf is this delusion that every player is suppose to winning the championship
Miami unfortunately won't get a championship because they don't match up well with Denver. Denver is the next dynasty.
I think so too
AD playing well is the key to the Lakers going far
As long as Darvin Ham is the Lakers coach they ain’t going nowhere
Miami can't win a championship as I see their team build right now
Shoulda traded wiggs and klay tbh.. But loyalty rules
Jimmy just like KD can't be the best on championship team
