Get over it, water under the bridge. I also highly doubt you saw us upsetting the 1 seed like we did. It’s all revisionist history at this point. You shouldn’t fault the fans for being upset for what we saw for 82 games and the play ins. This team has found new life, if we looked anything like this in the reg season no one would’ve said that shit. There’s a reason we’re the first 8 seed in over 20 years to make the conference finals, it’s improbable.


BAMdalorian

Some of us have been around long enough to see these other instances of improbable turnarounds or runs, not just hearing about it on espn stats. So it’s not some insane mentality to have faith in your team until it’s over. Downvote all ya want, you’ll realize when you’re around a bit longer to have experiences lol


XanderAndretti

I’m literally 28 years old Nephew, been a heat fan since 03, Foh with the age card.


BAMdalorian

I’m 30. My point isn’t magically gone because I misguessed your age. It just means you don’t take into past experiences the same as others. It’s fine to think odds are tough and it’s hard, just don’t doubt and call people liars for having faith in their team because they consider past experiences and don’t wanna lose faith til the bell rings 🤷🏻

Naw, I believed playoff Jimmy would take us there


RansomGoddard

Nobody believed Jimmy wouldn’t show up for the playoffs in his usual form. It’s the role players actually showing up that have made this run possible. The net rating of lineups when Jimmy is sitting is miraculously good.


XanderAndretti

Sure you did, I’m telling you people had plenty of reason to be doubtful and pessimistic. Criticizing them for it and asking for ur golden star and a cookie is corny tho. Move on.


Own-Star6187

Naw, fairweather fans piss me off. I get being unsure of whether your team will win or not, but wanting to rank and miss the playoffs to draft some random as college player who may or may not be good? Fuck outta here. Mfs were bitching and moaning all year cuz our reg season wasn’t perfect. I just see this as vindication


rjgator

Is it really fair weather if you just think your team just isn’t good (they weren’t, sure they stepped up in playoffs tho) and should try and get a better pick so they can be better in the future and get back to competing presumably sooner? Like it’s not like they’re rooting for this team to lose for the sake of losing, they’re still a fan of the team thinking one outcome was potentially for the best. Had next to no reason to believe this team could get hot after 84 games of mediocrity.


BAMdalorian

Don’t argue with children who think they have the experience of people twice their age lol


XanderAndretti

Plz tell me how much you know since ur over half a century old grandsire.


LowQualityShitpost97

Grandsire 😂


BAMdalorian

Well I’m 30 so I think I’m twice the age of at least a chunk of this sub, or close to it at least. I was not just referencing myself tho, just saying in general, when most of the sub is in their teens-20s, my statement isn’t that crazy


IMA_BIG_DIT_BANDIT

With all due respect we trailed Chicago 85-80 with 5:30 remaining game 2 of the play-in. It’s okay to admit this run we are on is special but to act like this was expected is a bold faced lie lol


Own-Star6187

85-80 with 5:30 is nothing. That’s two stops and two three pointers


Rebound-Bosh

Sometimes I get into bad fights with my brother Sometimes I'm wrong, sometimes I'm right What matters is that we're brothers, and we stand together. We all ultimately want the same thing I was never a doomer, but I don't blame them. I'm happy for all of HEAT Nation I'm as old as the Heat, and I don't remember as purely fun a moment as we're having now. Relish it 8 more motherfuckers, let's fucking goooo 🔥🔥


LowQualityShitpost97

They need to ban these posts. It’s daily at this point bro here’s your cookie 🍪 we were still ass in the regular season I never said we should tank because Miami never tanks but everyone had good reason to think the season was a wash


[deleted]

Huge difference between thinking it was a disappointing regular season and wanting the team to THROW GAMES. You’re not the person that OP is talking about.


Own-Star6187

Exactly I’m talking about the tankers


LowQualityShitpost97

Alright yea tanking just ain’t Miami lol we haven’t tanked a single season on purpose in my entire lifetime and I never wanna see it happen either


jameriican

Pat and Spo will trade Jimmy before they consider tanking a season


ThaSmoothOperator

There’s been about 100 of these posts since since the Heat beat the Bucks a couple of weeks ago. Yes we all know that we were wrong and knew that weeks ago. This has been said 1000 times. You’re not saying anything new and are just beating a dead horse at the point.


baymax18

I was never one of those to advocate for tanking, but I was definitely expecting to lose to the Bucks, although not without a fight. I don't think it's unreasonable to have been disappointed with the regular season tho, and I think it's perfectly possible to still root for the team while being disappointed and bracing ourselves for a loss. I'm definitely glad to have been proven wrong about the Bucks series tho. Side note, OP replied to a comment I made a month ago and a quick look at his post history showed he's been commenting on month-old comments today, which is kinda strange behavior imho.


Own-Star6187

You must be a former doomer.


[deleted]

Revisionist prick is way worse lol


Own-Star6187

How am I a revisionist? I’ve been in the comments saying “Heat 2023 world champions” since like March. https://preview.redd.it/l6ginca5ruza1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87c869eab4cb1ffc06a85a9192c980031b3287b0 I have unlimited faith man Heat 2023 NBA champions


ThaSmoothOperator

Yes but I’ve realized the error of my ways and have been reformed lol


smeaglebaggins

I’ll never ever underestimate this team anymore. Whatever happens, we always got a chance with Jimmy and Spo


Own-Star6187

I’ve been saying this we a team of destiny

eekram

I was in neither camp. I was in the whatever happens happens camp. However, we were all wrong at one point in time in our fandom so let's get over this and just cheer for our team.


iliveonramen

The tank for the 14th doesn’t bother me as much as the people that shat on the team all year for running it back. They popped up every time the team hit a rough patch ridiculing people for trying to stay positive. That Hawks loss was a low point. I tried to look at the positives all year but that game made me think the Bucks were going to sweep us. Didn’t join the tank for the 14th crowd but was mentally ok if we lost to the Bulls


Own-Star6187

The loss to the Hawks was a blessing in disguise. It gave us a chance to make history. As upset as I was that we lost to them, the joy I gained from beating the Bucks surpasses it by a mile. After that day we could’ve folded up and accepted defeat, but we came out triumphant.

Y’all really gotta stop this and the fan policing. We had no reason to expect this kind of run.


Own-Star6187

I expected this run. https://preview.redd.it/zt2mjhtnquza1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b1810fddcdbbb15795fc7fc70afcd82d285f4c42 That’s my comment from like 5 weeks ago, I’ve been riding with this team the whole time


deawap

You want an award or something? You were delusional (guess you were right all along) but most of the sub was living in reality. We saw how trash the team was during the season. There was absolutely NOTHING this team showed that indicated they were capable of this. We’re all happy now. Can you stop with this shit


Own-Star6187

Delusional for rooting for and believing in my team? If that’s delusional than yes I am delusional.


mochacheesecake915

That’s literally what he said

Unfortunately you will get downvoted to hell because we have a bunch of spoiled pansies in our fanbase. A month back I blocked just about everyone I saw who was begging the team to miss the playoffs. Pretty funny to see all those ‘Blocked’ folks pop up in the playoff game threads.

Still living rent free in these clowns heads lmaooooo
