I'll just say this before the pod even airs….Brunson scares me. Even when we beat them in the playoffs a few years ago, we had no answer for him. He's so good, he's singlehandedly made me not hate the Knicks (I also have a lot of homies from NY who I enjoy seeing happy).
They won 4 in a row after winning just 2-3 games in the entire month of December. This Heat team should def fear some teams in the East.
Heat should fear Orlando. It feels like a matchup nightmare.
Don't think contender fear the Heat as well.
If Ware & Jovic play decent to well then teams should fear them. But no one fears Bam, Wiggins, & Powell
You don’t waste assets upgrading something that you don’t know how it all fits when your key players are all on the floor together. Like it or not Herro is coming back and will be in the starting lineup when he returns. I don’t see how you can evaluate what we need when you don’t even know what Herro and Powell look like together. And then you have the Giannis factor…if you’re ‘REALLY’ in mix why would you jeopardize that just to have a feel good season.
Fear really? if that's your logic HEAT should play in the Euro League! No! Heat never ever feared any team in the NBA!!! since Pat arrived in Miami he chant No Fear! No Fear! find it amusing that Ethan talks about Fear???? respect maybe??? Heat are Gladiators!!!!
Considering the Celtics are in 3rd without Tatum and beat the Heat by 20 last time, The Celtics should probably concern them
This team may make difficult on first round for other teams, they won’t win anything they’re simply terrible. Inconsistent, defensive players like bam are non-existent on offense, Tyler is the opposite. This roster is a testament of how incompetent is our front office.
Team won’t tank, never getting a high draft pick so get used to one way players.
In the playoffs I’d be scared of the Knicks for sure.
We don’t have a closer…they have one of the best closers.
We cough up leads late, they rattle teams late and make comebacks.
Man sit Jovic, let him do a full season in the G league, so that he can get his head and game together! If not let him go, its somebody else out there, that is Better than him! that the Heat can get! FACTS 💯
Really,fear,as presently constructed this roster is not winning a championship,how about let's talk about aquiring draft capital to bring in talent and cap flexibility,that will be necessary in trying to win a championship,trying to dress up a mediocre team,in my opinion,is not the move,Go Heat!!
Wow! Is this title real? Yikes! You Heat "fans" truly are the most delusional in all sports. It's shocking how clueless you lot are. Shit, Miami sports fans in general are simply deluded and clueless.
The title should be, Should any team in the Eastern Conference worry about Miami. Answer: No!
Haha… you guys won a few games in a row and have convinced yourselves you're contenders. More proof ppl in Miami don't actually watch the games.
At full strength, we are scary
Its possible that by the time the playoffs roll in, we are playing our best basketball. If we are we can come out of the east.
This topic alone.Let me know yall don't know nothing about basketball no god damn team scared of the heat
When jimmy was here, miami was scary.
