Click on Heat forum, see them hoping for a tank. The tank is such a years long soul-crushing exercise that fails 90% of the time. Look at the Sixers.
Even teams that are well run and make good picks, ala Minny and Boston are still years away after years already with no guarantees they'll ever be more than possible contenders.
And I look at 71 year-old Pat and just laugh. When he's mumbling while his nurse spoons him cream corn, if you listen need real close, you'll hear him still cursing Lebron.
Lebron crushed the so-called Godfather in every way imaginable. Wins first championship for Cleveland in 52 years and spends his vacation in Wade's ear to drive that final nail in Riley's coffin.
I'm still laughing at you Pat.
Those around you say how badly you hated to see Lebron win. Fuck you. He wasn't done with you yet. He also took Mr. Heatlifer away. All while you were out trying to land a "whale". One that you had no prayer to land. So amusing.
Wayne Ellington, James Johnson, Derrick Williams, and Luke Babbitt.
Enjoy running those clowns out. And the funny part is Whiteside and Dragic will probably win you just enough to get a shit pick next year anyway, and then you have no picks after that. And no stars to attract other stars. And the most famous Heat player of all time and the GOAT King James in the ear of every free agent telling them what a piece of shit you are to work for. The Heat are in hell for a decade, and we know Miami fans, once you suck, they don't stick around. The Canes draw 1-AA numbers. The Fins play for orange seats every week.
When you suck for decades, you can usually look back and point to a few crucial mistakes as the beginning of the end. Fifteen years from now when Riley is nothing but a grease spot in King James rear-view mirror and they're writing his obit, people will remember how it ended badly for old Pat. How he took Lebron leaving personally, and overpaid for Bosh because he was shook, and didn't like Wade's friendship with Lebron and didn't take care of him, and how his rash mistakes snowballed.
Kids will hardly believe the Heat were once good and a big national story and used to sell out every game.
It takes a long time for franchises and programs to rebound when old men stay too long at the helm.
Still laughing
