We saw the same out of them last year too. They aren't mentally tough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care that they are better athletes and the sport has evolved, these dudes with their current mindset/physicality wouldn't know what to do without the flailing of the head and throwing themselves to the ground to get calls every couple trips down the floor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean you can say that about 80s players with their mindset. Imagine a physical 80s team trying to win attempting two 3s a game and 0 spacing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh a team from 80s or 90s would be absolutely demolished against the worst team in todays league under todays rules… The starting 5 would foul out in the first qtr lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamq Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 I ******* love this Heat team. Mike Schurr called it months ago. Everyone was and is afraid to play Miami in the playoffs. Stars? F that.

jrry32 Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Well, the good news for the Celtics is that Gabe Vincent used up all his three-point makes for the rest of the series tonight lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they’d be able to flick a switch and find success that’s all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Tso Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Remember when Heat were in rumors for Kevin Durant but they have to trade Bam + picks or something crazy? Well now they have both a future AND a present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
