Heat and many teams with this new CBA are in a tough spot. Heat are a win now team with Butler's age and injury record. They really only have 1 more year to make a run with the team as is. Besides Butler and Bam...all of the team's money for next year is locked up on Lowry ($30M), Duncan ($18M), Herro ($27M). Strus and Vincent (replaceable) will bump up 23-24 to the midrange $10-12M+ and will likely have to be traded at that cost. It's solid that Caleb and Highsmith are still locked in at low cost. Besides Herro nobody else is desirable from a trading standpoint. Almost $50M for Lowry and Duncan is atrocious. Like every team in the league everyone is searching for a top forward player who can defend 1-5 or at least 1-4 and put up double digits. Next season will likely be a repeat with Heat, Bucks, and the Celtics being the real contesters and Sixers one step back.

Good game. The better team showed despite the Refs helping the heat a bit much to give them a chance. Butler needed to be the guy but wasn’t there today.

Hopefully the panthers can win the cup.

We need to make some trades and some sizeable acquisitions. Also need a bigger line up next season. Time to smoke the pain away.

We don't have a point guard. Bam at point kills the ability of this team rebounding.

Max and Gabe combined to go 4 for 27 in the last two games.

Turning back into pumpkins.

This was a shocking playoff run for me at least. Looked like a new squad. But the 3PT woes from the regular season have returned, and Denver is simply far more talented.
