Let me be clear: I love Pat Riley.
I will always be grateful for everything he has done for this franchise.
His contributions to the Miami Heat are monumental, and his legacy of building championship teams is undeniable.
However, his recent focus raises legitimate concerns.
Riley’s inaction has had tangible consequences.
Not only is it disappointing; it’s downright pathetic.
Yet, that core has been left without the necessary reinforcements to truly contend for another title.
Pat Riley’s legacy is secure, but that doesnt mean he is above criticism.
Riley’s recent actions suggest a detachment from that mission.
The Miami Heat deserve better.
Jimmy Butler deserves better.
And frankly, Pat Riley should demand better of himself.
The window for this team to win another championship is closing.
