We have plenty of season left, but it's funny how hard heat fans were defending that roster.
3. u/doltron3030 · 2026-10-24 01:40 UTC
They’re not even on the level of the Bucks roster
4. u/judah249 · 2026-10-24 02:02 UTC
Bam with 2 points the whole game?

Made essentially the same comment above. It really is the case. And I’d honestly argue they may actually be a tad worse than last years Bucks team.
Not having depth/plenty of shooting options around Giannis is a recipe for disaster. The Bucks did have that, but just lacked a decisive off ball shooting #2, and still sputtered. (Which honestly I feel had more to do with internal issues that disrupted chemistry,) than necessarily talent on court.
Looking at Miami it was apparent on paper that things may be in line to get ugly. And it may only be 2 games, but those issues have so far been glaring on the court.

No, where are the threads period? I can’t find the Spurs game thread at all.

Warriors might be the worst team in the west
10. u/KingofMangoes · 2026-10-24 04:05 UTC
I like this because it assumes the Suns have been relegated to the Gleague

*Snoop meme* Who??
12. u/Dazzling_End8412 · 2026-10-24 14:35 UTC
They just couldn't handle the current best player in the world, Ty Jerome
13. u/GoldBlueberryy · 2026-10-24 02:42 UTC
Miami may as well sim to whatever season where Giannis requests a trade.
14. u/roastedsun · 2026-10-24 02:53 UTC
Miami is working out exactly how everyone expected. Not sure what their Culture is going to do for the lack of talent outside of the stars

Saying this not as a salty Bucks fan whatsoever, (because the deal had to be done for Mil’s future,) but just speaking from reality.
They are last years Bucks, but arguably worse. I’d say they are more top heavy (Miami,) but Milwaukee had more depth, and was better built for what’s needed around Giannis.
He needs lots of shooting options around him for starters, and depth. You don’t need another superstar next to him as he’s so ball dominant himself. But, if you do have depth an off ball star doesn’t hurt.
This Miami team is going to be super frustrating for their fans. It was apparent even on paper the glaring holes. They’ll undoubtedly have games where Giannis and Bam just overpower opponents, but in games where they lose control early, it’s going to be quite a chore to claw back into.
And I think what worries me the most is the long term health of Giannis, and his skillset translating as he ages. He’s so far beat the odds for players of similar skills continuing their dominance, and it really makes you wonder just how much longer it can last. 30-31 is usually the point you see high athleticism/lack of shooting take a massive taper off, I’m hoping he really is going to be one of the first to beat those odds.

Giannis has the height and bulk to continue to play the way he does I think. I agree with all your points - they’re toast

Pistons not letting up😭😭
