After the game was over, with the Lakers losing their 20th game of the season, the Heat’s Twitter account sent a big message to their rivals, using a short clip of Brandon Marshall’s big rant on NBA contracts. to mock the purple and gold.
“If we were healthy,” they wrote on Twitter, captioning the video of a heated Marshall.

They are trying to return to the NBA Finals this season and they have big expectations for the big series. Jimmy Butler claimed this is their year if they manage to get to the championship series.
As for the Lakers, they are waiting for LeBron James and Anthony Davis to return to the court and see if they can recover their best level before it’s too late. As the defending champions, the Lakers are still the team to beat in the association but the rest of the league prepared to face them and beat them.
