Pat Riley didn’t say anything that wasn’t true. Butler and Herro miss a huge amount of games every year.

I think it was determined that Jimmy is there like 75% of the time. Forget where I saw that at....

[@Josh-ww4ys]

@@757-David he’ll be 35 the next time he steps on an NBA court again & you make it seem like you’d trade post season success for regular season play. Jimmy has missed 3 playoff games in his 5 years in Miami. I’d prefer 3 almost finals births w/ no improvements to any roster than playing in some more regular season games

[@Josh-ww4ys]

[@solomonn2102]

I like that Pat called him out, but are we going to call out Pat for the roster construction and not giving Jimmy enough help. Or not calling out Bam who hasn’t taken the next step offensively and barely has a mid range game. Even without Jimmy on the floor the roster should not have been that uncompetitive. Jimmy’s championship window is closing and the Heat keep bringing in undrafted players as starters hoping to beat more established teams.

[@SlimKim3]

"Heat keep bringing in undrafted players as starters hoping to beat more established teams." Well the heat was loaded with undrafted players last year and they beat the top two teams in the East all with established rosters. Drafted or undrafted doesn't mean anything just like seeding.

[@geordan10]

Facts

[@RD-zx6py]

The roster was built with the idea that they were going to lure a top free agent there at some point and that hasn't materialised. I really think they thought they were going to get Giannis.

[@solomonn2102]

@@RD-zx6py I feel you but it’s been 4 years and they’ve basically brought back the same team every year. They’ve made fringe moves like bringing in Kyle lowrie for veteran experience, etc, but they hadn’t even attempted to land anyone major till last years rumor about Dame. Jimmy is literally on an island and makes the best lemonade out of lemons 🍋 that he can.

[@RD-zx6py]

@@solomonn2102 like I said I think they assumed Giannis was going to be available. They gambled and they lost. Who was the last real prime needle mover to come on the free agency market? KD to the Warriors? The supermax era has got people staying at smaller franchises like never before.

I mean that’s cool and all but the Heat are trying to win championships. Not be the #1 topic of NBA Twitter. If their goal was to have “playoff Jimmy” trending on Twitter every year then I’m sure they would pay him max dollars. But in the real world, GMs don’t care about that.

[@rohanshah7559]

Pat doesn’t really seem to care about winning championships either tho, since he refused to improve the team for 3 years…

[@PeteringYT]

@@rohanshah7559 Guess Jimmy doesn’t care either since he was partying with Neymar the night before a huge play in game they needed to win but lost. Meanwhile Pat has 9 rings and Jimmy has zero…

[@rdsh7524]

@glcsander he never said he wanted out. He repeatedly says he wants to retire with 22 heat jersey on his back. Jimmy has always been vocal and will continue to be vocal no matter who's in the office that's why we love Jimmy. And it's not like he hasn't proved his claims.

I like Jimmy as a player but he seems to think he's way better than he is. Miami could've been 100% healthy and they still would've only gotten one more game at the most against the Celtics. Jimmy isn't good enough to be the best player on a championship team. He'd be a fantastic Pippen type player next to someone else's Jordan, but he can't be your #1 option to win it all.
