It's Championship or Bust in South Beach for 2023-24

Miami - The Miami Heat get ready to kick off the 2023-24 NBA season with one simple goal in mind. Bring home a championship. This Heat core has gotten on the doorstep twice, but has fallen in both their finals appearances with Jimmy, and Bam at the helm. Miami's much speculated attempt to bring a third star to the team failed when Damian Lillard was instead traded to Milwaukee, but the Heat still feel they have enough on this roster to once again make it through the Eastern Conference, and take their shot at the NBA crown.

Miami - Jimmy Butler had 25 points, and Bam Adebayo had a double-double as the Miami Heat began the defense of their Eastern Conference championship with a 106-95 win over the Detroit Pistons at the Kaseya Center. The game was nip and tuck throughout before Miami pulled away with a 33-22 fourth quarter. Jaden Ivey led the way for the visitors with 27.

The first game of the season can always hold pitfalls; Miami solved it brilliantly.

Let's hope for them that this season will be the right one, but there is a lot of competition.

Preview @ Minnesota Timberwolves

Minneapolis - The Heat are right back in action tonight on the second leg of a road back to back when they take on the Timberwolves at the Target Center. We may see some veterans with reduced minutes or sitting this one out, as we see how Coach Spo handles the first back-to-back of the season as he manages the workload for a team expected to play well into May, and hopefully June.

Looking forward to this. Think Tyler Herro is going to be a solid third option or you gonna keep him in trade rumors?

Well he's my favorite player on the team so for the sake of my franchise I'm definitely keeping him haha. That does somewhat limit what I can do with the roster though as he's obviously the most tradable asset on the team.
