They didn’t get worse. It’s funny a lot of people are acting like Strus and Vincent are huge losses but they’re the same people who slandered them in the playoffs. If you followed closely, you’d know those 2 played a big reason why they were a play-in team in the first place since they weren’t good in the reg season. Robinson was far better than Strus in the playoffs and Richardson is an upgrade simply because he plays defense. Herro back is big too.

Am I the only one who looks at this Miami team and think we're better than last year? Yes Gabe and Strus gone is a lost but dude Strus was getting outplayed by Duncan all playoffs long, Gabe had an amazing run but JRich is imo a bigger better replacement for him, then they just signed Hampton who I think could be a crazy good player for Miami, then they added where they lack where is size they drafted JJJ and then signed Thomas Bryant and brought back KLove, and people forget they made that run practically without their 3rd and 4th best player in Herro and Dipo, now Herro is back and Jovic has looked amazing in summer league as well as the FIBA world cup, as well as keeping their tradition bringing back Highsmith, Cain and Orlando as their undrafted guys who had great moments last year...I understand the skepticism due to the names they lost but imo look Miami got better overall

@benjaminharrison5342 8 месяцев назад

With the group-think of everyone from the casuals to Vegas discounting Miami its really hard for me not to agree. They made history, respect. That said they're a shooting team that requires big games from 2 to 3 guys to win and finding the consistent 2nd and 3rd player is the issue.

@frich3628 8 месяцев назад

As long as Jimmy and bam are on the roster they’re contenders in my eyes. Most finals apps and playoff wins since Butler got to Miami. A lot of people are saying Vincent and Strus leaving are the reason why they won’t be a contender but those who followed closely know they’re the reason they were in the play-in in the first place. They were awful in the reg season last year and Richardson is an upgrade over Strus because he can at least play some defense.

@j4m3sii 8 месяцев назад

jimmy butler goes super human during the playoffs and is one of the best playoffs performers ever. however, in the off-season they just lost 2 essential pieces from their finals run last year. if miami wants to compete again, they’re going to have to get rid of lowry and pick up jrue or cam payne

@devv197 8 месяцев назад

They just lost two guys that got and kept them in the playoffs. There were multiple games where Gabe Vincent turned on the gas and went for a run that kept the team in the game. Same for Gabe. Losing those two guys is a big hit.

@bryanfoster326 8 месяцев назад

I feel like you can’t count miami out, bam and jimmy might not be the star power of other duos, but they both have games built for the postseason. Both are great at hitting mid range shots and for jimmy especially physicality and more contact in the post season doesn’t seem to impact him at all. They need to make some moves since even though they were the best team in the post season last year staying complacent when the Celtics got better and the bucks got way better when the Celtics took you to 7 games last season and beat you in 7 the year before and the bucks shored up their biggest weakness, they may have made up that gap, but we need to see how the moves actually impact the bucks and Celtics first.

I know they got exposed by the Knicks, but young teams just need to get humbled before they start contending. For the Sixers, I'm going off the assumption Harden plays and if he's traded it's for fair value like Jrue. In March 2023, there was a case that Embiid and Harden was the best duo in the NBA (Embiid was making the case for MVP over Jokic and Harden was legitimately as good as Embiid in March and was a top 10 player at the time). After that Harden had some Achilles injury and Embiid wasn't healthy for the playoffs.

I personally don't understand how anyone can believe in the Suns after this offseason. They traded Ayton, one of their more consistent players over the last 2-3 seasons, for a _fourth_ injury-prone starter and, due to Beal's NTC and no cap flexibility-the roster is already full of one-year veteran minimum deals which will have to be redone every season as long as the three stars are on the team-they're one unfortunate roll of the die away from imploding and being a lottery team with no picks for the rest of the decade.

If the clips pick up Jrue without giving up Mann or norm it’s game over

@CrazyxEnigma 8 месяцев назад

Portland would be stupid to give up Jrue for so little. Then again they gave them Powell for a bag of chips 🤷 who knows maybe.

@williamblake7386 8 месяцев назад

imagine people still calling Klay as "core" or "big" this guy, considering his contract, is a burden for 5 years already.

@adriandaliva1341 8 месяцев назад

14:08 the 2022 Warriors definitely had a chance versus that Nuggets team, GSW was literally the opposite of the Lakers' system (spread 5-out offense with screens everywhere and I would bet my money Curry/Klay/Wiggins would outperform Murray/MPJ/Gordon).

@devinisreal9356 8 месяцев назад

Jokic would make up for the difference in those 3 matchups. Warriors have nobody to stop him. Nuggets still win the conference.

Let me ask you a question; What happened more often (since LBJ), before a sesson - that the Lakers got overhyped, and therefore underperformed, or that they got underrated? ;) Why should they beat the Nuggets this season? LBJ is one year older, and AD was amazingly healthy, last season…

As a Warriors fan, I understand your take. I've spent years hating CP3 more than I love the Warriors. Also as a Warriors fan, I've come to believe Steph needs to be doubted to perform at his highest level. So, thank you for giving him something to prove.

@Zett76 8 месяцев назад

I know how you feel. I never "hated" LBJ, but I definitely DISLIKED his playing style, his attitude (and his fans!!) more than I liked the Lakers… after rooting for them all through the Kobe years, I‘m actually rooting against them, now. P.S.: another reason I began to root for the Warriors. :)

@welder9163 8 месяцев назад

@nikki-op4xj 8 месяцев назад

similar to mine i only have 3 teams , bucks suns and ofc the team that will win . GSW - i learned never bet against them so i won't they still in my top 5 teams so LAL - similar to GSW top 5 but miami - even tho im a fan they are missing a lot with Lillard on team it would be differed story but. celtics - nah not falling for that one again dallas - big luka fan . i hope they will make an upset like they did to phoenix in 22 . but nah clippers - im not worried about clippers pg13 and kawai have big contracts im sure they will work-manage the play offs just fine .
