.543

Culture elitists, it has all been a sham. Propaganda has convinced you of things that are not true: that we "have enough". We always "have enough". Hassan Whiteside and Dion Waiters and James Johnson, were enough; Justice Winslow was enough; Jimmy Butler is enough; Jimmy is a superstar; Bam Adebayo is enough; A team of Jimmy, Bam, over-the-hill players, journeymen and undrafted D-Leaguers is enough; there's a Kyle Lowry "Effect", a PJ Tucker "Effect;" Duncan Robinson is enough; Duncan Robinson is one of the best shooters on the planet; the offense is a "symphony." The Culture is enough to make up for all that is not enough.

Culture elitists, the truth is, in war "mass matters", in basketball "talent tells." The truth is we don't have enough.  We haven't had enough since 2014. Our win percentage since LeBron left is .543, good enough for 7th in the East this year, 8th in the West. This is a roster with no future. The truth is, Culture isn't enough; Pat Riley isn't enough; Erik Spoelstra isn't enough; these players aren't enough.
