At 10-5 the Heat are tied for the 2nd best record in the East and 4th best record in the NBA through 15 games. Lots to like about this team to start season.
The Heat is not a contender, at best a play-in team , probably will lose the playoffs. They lost Strus and Vincent.
Well it’s still soon on the season. Reaching roughly 20% , but seams that people never learn. I am not talking about here or others teams sub, but the specialized media .
3 conference finals and 2 NBA finals last 4 years and they still count us out !
Several. Oh well. Now who could argue with several.
I mean, I’ve person after person after person after person talk about the Heat as the 3rd best team in the East all summer. But I can’t argue with several.
They were widely regraded as a strong team in the Eastern conference. Several detractors does not make up that wide majority.
Teams like Philly and Dallas - those teams were routinely dismissed by the media. The Heat weren’t.
Don’t make this into an issue that didn’t really exist.
I mean, the downvotes tell the story. “Widely regarded as a top 4 seed” is patently false.
Here were the storylines for the Heat all summer….
“Heat fail to acquire Dame and fail the off-season.”
“Heat don’t make any moves and lose 2 Finals starters.”
“Heat have no assets.”
“They may not be a play in team with these losses and failure to bring in more talent.”
Check Marc Spears, Kevin O’Connor, Bleacher Report or any of the guys with national shows save for maybe Nick Wright.
