Was coming here to make this thread.  I think it speaks more to coaching then anything else.  Look at the heats roster.  It's fuging trash. Objectively it's worse than the hornets roster last year.

Lol dude is averaging like 5ppg in the finals. Teams weren’t guarding him. I guess that’s an improvement over the playoffs last year when teams weren’t guarding him and he was still poo. Credit to Spoelstra and Jimmy Butler for carrying the sisters of the poor to the finals

obviously his series against the celtics was an outlier but worth noting in the Finals he's been limited by illness. he's a solid all around player who has been pretty clutch in big games this year. Spo deserves credit and Jimmy for the first few series but he hasn't been carrying anything the past couple series, other guys like Caleb have just been stepping up.

Butler’s averaging 27pts, 6.6rbs, 5.9ast for the playoffs.

Look at his Bucks series... And his shooting % in the past few series. Jimmy has been great overall and yes their best player, but he is not carrying the team. They play great team defense, move the ball well and several guys have been shooting lights out. He carried the team against the Bucks for sure but not really since then.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
