At 10-10 through 20 games, what is Heat’s formula for success this season?
Wednesday was part of an up-and-down start to the season that has the Heat at .500 through the first 20 games. Miami entered Thursday with the NBA’s 12th-ranked offensive rating, 11th-ranked defensive rating and 12th-ranked net rating while sitting in seventh place in the Eastern Conference.
“We just got to stick with it,” [Tyler] Herro said...
No, Tyler. Sticking with the same thing and expecting a different result than 45-37, which you've been for TEN STRAIGHT FUCKING YEARS, is the common man's definition of insanity.
"Being consistent is our main thing right now, trying to put a full 48-minute game together is key for us."
No, Tyler. The team has been almost mathematically impossibly consistent for TEN STRAIGHT FUCKING YEARS.
"It’s early on...
No, Tyler. It's not early, nearly a quarter of the season is gone and you're in seventh place, 8 games behind the conference leader.
...the teams that have separated themselves in the standings have done that from the very beginning. ..."
No, Tyler. The teams that have separated themselves HAVE MORE FUCKING TALENT THAN YOUR TEAM.
“We’re at our best when the other team feels us and that takes an energy commitment, it takes an alertness commitment, it takes a commitment right from the get-go,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “That’s just who we are and there’s a pathway to, I feel, greater success than what we’ve had right now. But we have to commit to that. We’re not just going to play you straight up in the center of the ring and expect it to totally go our way.”
[That's RIGHT, Spo. You can't go toe-to-toe with the best teams because the best HAVE MORE FUCKING TALENT THAN YOUR TEAM.]
