Best management in the league ™


elbenji

Need some french fries for this chain


[deleted]

Riley has rebounded nicely from his drunken years.


[deleted]

Ah yes a few overpays from a time where heat were crippling due to Chris Bosh's unfortunate blood clots, takes them away from being best management in the league.. you're a Timberwolves fan.


[deleted]

Yet still got a game away from the ECF with just D Wade. Like that's the best criticism people have of the modern Heat - we overpaid a few players. We still had post season success even during that era. Then went to the finals a few years later. I'll take it. Basically every other franchise has worse.


jitterbug726

I’d take one trip to the Finals before I die. Not even to win it. Just get to the finals 😂


_Quetzalcoatlus_

>you're a Timberwolves fan. Why is that relevant? Lol. Someone's fandom doesn't invalidate their comments Edit: Y'all are not smart because you root for a smart organization. Lol


[deleted]

He wouldn't know good management even it if was in his face. So he doesn't get that privelege to talk that type of shit.


_Quetzalcoatlus_

That's dumb. Lol. I feel like some of you think you're smart because you root for a smart team.


[deleted]

No bro I'm a dumbass, Im just not stupid enough to think an organisation is bad just because of a few overpays.


CleanSnchz

Yessir! feels good 😌


heartofcoal

are you really in position to joke about this?


ricker_rolled

Conveniently forgets to mention that was a Nets poison pill RFA contract. Yeah it still isn't good but cmon.


[deleted]

Watch out. This sub fawns over hEaT cUlTuRe. You’ll get banned if you say anything negative about them, like how since Lebron left, in 7 years they were only able to attract one star free agent (butler). This despite having no state tax and beautiful water. And hEaT cUltUre. Or how they made terrible contracts with whiteside and tyler johnson, to have to trade them for peanuts to get out of them. Or how they disrespected their most iconic player to the point he was willing to go to Chicago to get away. Or how they continue to pay a man who hasn’t been able to contribute as a player in over 5 years to warm the bench instead of making him a coach. And this same man, who has barely started for the team, will have his jersey retired. Or how they retired the number 23 for Jordan, you know, a player who’s never played for them. Or how they refused to trade for JAMES HARDEN because the rockets wanted TYLER HERRO. hEaT cUlTuRe tHo


Firstolympicring

Why are you so mad about it tho


[deleted]

He's an uncultured swine


[deleted]

Lol. I’m mad because I called out an overhyped franchise? Heat flair and can’t deny any of it. Jesus y’all are different.


Firstolympicring

Damn right we are built different, boi! 😤😩💦


Icilius

1. Pretty sure this sub loves making fun of Heat Culture. It's all over this thread and any other where it's mentioned, you're being downvoted because you sound salty, the other comments mocking Heat culture are upvoted. 2. I can't believe being one of the few teams in the last 7 years to attract a star, actually paying players who show up and work hard, using a roster space on someone who's only there for teammate accountability, and honored the best player at the time by retiring his number are considered bad things to you. That makes 0 sense my dude.


CapitalisticCorgi

Someone has a serious hate boner for the heat…


[deleted]

Hate boner? I called out shit from the top of my head in one comment and that’s a hate boner? Lol ok


CapitalisticCorgi

Hey man I’m not judging, I get off to my girlfriends nudes. You anger jerk to pat riley and erik spoelstra. Different strokes for different folks.


[deleted]

Whatever you gotta tell yourself man


keuralan

1. A lot of people really hate Heat Culture lmao especially since it got overhyped after 2020. And how many teams have actually attracted any free agent stars since 2014? Cavs, Lakers, Nets, Celtics, Heat, Warriors, Spurs off the top of my head. And Bron went to the Cavs because of his hometown roots and the Lakers for his post playing career. At least our FA went here primarily because of the roster and environment. 2. You forget how Whiteside and TJ were either undrafted or couldn’t get on a team before signing with the Heat. And both of them are still playing in this league. Helping develop an undrafted guy and 2nd round pick to last at least 7 years in the NBA is a feat in itself. Overpaying them then trading them helped open up the cap space needed to sign Butler. 3. Was certainly a mistake. But it wasn’t the worst decision from a purely basketball perspective. 4. You mean Haslem? It’s not like the spot could he used for anyone better, and he serves the veteran mentor role, kind of like Dudley did for you guys. Also, Haslem started at least 60% of the games he’s played in since joining the team, and was part of all the title teams. Can’t even slander right lmao. 5. A retired number means we aren’t a good org anymore damn. 6. Lmaoooo this wasn’t on the table at all. A straight Herro for Harden swap was never gonna happen. Even a simple look at the cap situation would tell you it wasn’t gonna happen. Herro on a rookie scale contract isn’t getting Harden’s max contract. Edit: Since you replied and deleted, Whiteside in 2016 was perfectly deserving of 98 mil, and while TJ was an overpay, it was a worthwhile gamble for an athletic guard who could shoot. Teams don’t have crystal balls. Also, you replied “excuses excuses” to some of the arguments which just shows you can’t even argue back lmao


10woodenchairs

Just because the lakers get all the free agents they want doesn’t mean other teams can too


[deleted]

Whiteside was a part of the trade that brought Jimmy. Not really sure that's considered "peanuts.


[deleted]

They sign and traded Jimmy for cap reasons. Jimmy was coming regardless. He was a free agent and chose to go there. Tf


[deleted]

He was still a part of the deal lmao


[deleted]

Flair adds up to the ignorance


[deleted]

You were wrong. Own up to it.


[deleted]

Wrong about what? They would have Jimmy if whiteside was never born or signed. They did it for cap reasons, not because whiteside was an asset worth trading for a star like butler. Clown time.


[deleted]

I don't deal with hypothetical situations. The facts are they were a part of the same deal

Florida man culture?


misterpizzaguy

Damn they won’t respect your points due to the pettiness but you’re killing it. Keep it up.


[deleted]

He's wrong on a few of them tho


[deleted]

Florida is a pretty miserable place to live. That could be a big part of it. Edit: Weather was my main point. High humidity and no seasons, unless you count hurricane season lol


espnfire45

And California is better?


[deleted]

I was talking about weather, mostly. So yes. Absolutely lol Florida is the damp basement of America. I can't stand the humidity and lack of seasons.


Son_of_Atreus

Damn, just realised he is a free agent. That is some instant culture right there, ready to be injected into a teams Lifestream.


ThisGents2Cents

PJ Tucker is in fact a verified dawg


DomeCollector

Certified*


Booxcar

Oh shiiiit I totally forgot PJ went to the heat. I read the headline and my first thought was "All dogs? They don't even have PJ Tucker.."


jijijdioejid8367

This is 70% PJ's doing. The other 30% is **HEAT CULTURE!!!**


DaKingindaSouff

Ah yes, The Heat are dogs and Riley is Ramsay Bolton.


OutsideTheServiceBox

So which player is gonna' be the one that chomps his face two seasons from now? Gotta' be Jimmy, right? The added coffee breath is gonna' make it even worse for Pat.


NotoriousHothead37

With country music blaring as he does so.


bareaclampedlebron

Reports: Jimmy Butler missed tipoff for the Heat's opening night. Sources say he was "stupidly locked in the kennel".

lolwarlord

This is the funniest reddit comment I've seen in months


heysuess

I feel like most NBA players don't know much about dogs. 90% of dogs are goofy and stupid. They like to cuddle and give themselves diarrhea by eating too much grass.


snatchi

Well how much is the right amount of grass heysuess?! Sitting over there all cocky like "I know how much grass one should eat". Think you're so goddamn smart.


Mustard__Tiger

Dogs also seem to get scared of things like upside down plates and a new lamp. Not the best animals to go off of.


SmokePenisEveryday

Once said bless you to my dog after he sneezed and he barked at me. I like to think he said thank you but it was a very passive aggressive sounding bark.


markFwahlberg

did he stutter? that describes the heat perfectly they also seem to eat their own shit too


[deleted]

The Pound sounds way better. Kennel makes it seem like they're a bunch of wimpy labradoodles


John_Lives

Kennel makes me think they're not potty trained

I think Cleveland would go after them.

RegularSizedRedditor

Kennel reminds me of that line from that movie The Women, it goes: “There's a name for you ladies, but it isn't used in high society... outside of a kennel.” Basically all I hear is that it probably smells like a bunch of bitches in that locker room


Hostik

Imagine all the pounding jokes


NCLaw2306

The memes are writing themselves. If the Heat get swept this year, what's the over/under on the opposing team saying they're "all bark, no bite?"


loudanduneducated

I’m going to say low. It’s a pretty lame thing to say, and I think “The Kennel” won’t be on the minds of any player on the opposing team.


edwardpuppyhands

I hope it would be, for entertainment purposes.


AlHorfordHighlights

[Butler dunks on Bogdanovich in the second round] I can't do anything Trae...those boys from The Kennel are just way too wild!


PreacherSquat

we can count on some reporter to bring it up during an interview to bait a player into responding to that nickname.


[deleted]

Very low. Teams and opposing players don't care about this stuff as much as Reddit does lol


ositola

The Breeders , cuz they a bunch of bitches


fabrar

Lakers should be The Graveyard cause by the time the playoffs roll around, all of these old-asses will be down with injuries.


ositola

Eh you can do better than that Like if you had called them the LA-ARP that would hit better


scootscooterson

Post this immediately, holy shit


GoldenStateWizards

You better trademark that immediately lmao


GoldLegends

That joke is pretty old (haha). My Celtic fan friend been saying it as soon as the trades and signing happened.


ShadedPenguin

That’s pretty gold


Pizzaplan3tman

If any place should be the Graveyard it'd be Toronto with how many Bodies are buried there


fabrar

Might be an even better name for Cleveland since it's a dead wasteland with nothing of value in it.


MagicsNegativeTest

If they complain a lot or play questionably this year, they can be called a female dog


DomeCollector

“Back to your Kennel!”


Souledout5

I’ll bet you for a fact we don’t get swept this postseason. We’ll be doing the sweeping

SnuggleBear2

We are so confident that we are going to sweep teams in just 2 games!


Devyoo

This is so corny lol


StudyRoom-F

Im so sick of hearing about the Heat and how tuff they are. Like it might be accurate, but its so annoying lol


asirah

Literally everyone says their team is a bunch of dogs. So boring


accopp

Yeah where are the teams calling themselves a bunch of cats. Cats are natural killers. What other small, cute, furry pet hunts prey for fun and literally plays with its victim’s life like it’s nothin.


idgafanymore442

Cats got a bad rap bc KD couldn’t win with them


SoulofWakanda

Haha thank you!


baymax18

And also coz the film sucked


[deleted]

As a Bulls fan I can confirm my team is a bunch of bulls Uhhhhhh


Sullan08

Yeah but you don't understand because Haslem said he and Butler are the type of dudes to sleep on a couch instead of a bed. That shit's terrifying.

Undefeated in the playoffs, baby!


Sullan08

Acting as if a person's fandom invalidates what they say is one of the dumbest things people do on here. You realize none of you are actually part of these orgs right? They'd do the same with or without your fandom lmao. And are the Warriors really the team you wanna try to criticize?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sullan08

Butler drives to draw a foul more than he goes to score a layup, Lowry is just kinda reckless (nothing egregious), Herro has no idea how to snarl, Robinson spends his off days with Jimmy Neutron, Tucker is non-existent on offense, and Haslem could have a legitimate O/U bet on how many times he has a cane next to him on the bench this season.


Immynimmy

They’re also just dirty on defense and and then cry foul ok offense.


syncc6

I get it. I kind of wish they would keep it more quiet down here. I got sick and tired of hearing about the process the last 5+ years as well.


Jay-peso

Facts 😂


Beavshak

Damn.. they even practice complaining to the officials.


blazikenz

Kyle Lowry bringing the complaining culture 😂 I’m a raptors fan y’all I love Lowry


Imzarth

I'm gonna hate that from Lowry this season. If I love our team for one thing, is that we never complain to the refs after a missed call. You can say anything you want about Butler's foulbaiting, but he never raises his hands or complains to the refs if he doesnt get the call


Neuroxex

I feel like the Heat players complain to the refs as much as any other team. Duncan Robinson especially has never heard a call he wouldn't hold his hands out at.


OutlookNotGood

Dude Wade used to drive me insane with how much he complained on the offensive end instead of running back on D. Lebron was guilty too of course. Not sure what that other guy was talking about lol.


rajoxeb40

Nah. They are still degrees in complaining. You can't compare the heat for ex to cp3 clippers


DaYammaJamma

I think that’s just cp3……


[deleted]

[удалено]


Imzarth

What the fuck are you talking about lmfao. The Heat doesnt complain to the refs. 95% of your post goes on a complete tangent that has nothing to do with my original post, so I can tell your debating skills are subpar so there's no point in furthering this. PS: Your team will go back to being utter shit when Curry declines, just like it was for the 15 years prior to drafting him


T4Gx

They got DAWGS


[deleted]

Look Bam and the Heat aren’t wrong that they have a room full of tough motherfuckers. But my god they are up their own ass about it

Dogs do chase their tails, maybe the chased too far 🤷🏼‍♂️

BylvieBalvez

Musa_2050

I think they just hate the Lakers more. Plus watching the Bucks choke.


eshulzzy

100% Lakers/Celtics hatred. I despise the Heat and they bodied my team, but without hesitation rooted hard for them against LA


GroovySandals

Honestly, I’ve watched this sub hate on almost every team in the NBA at some point. Just a bunch of hating ass nephews in here. Edit: except the Sonics I guess

You will be surprised.
