Miami Heat Roundtable: Special 2017-18 holiday edition

If The Hallmark Channel created a holiday feature about the team, what would the movie’s plot-line be?

Tachauer: A basketball team has been tasked with winning a holiday tournament, to bring back a sense of pride to the small town. But with one key member falling ill from a bad batch of eggnog, another twisting his arm after falling on black ice and a third overcoming frostbite… will the former champions end up letting everyone down?

Mora: A Christmas miracle movie about the search for the missing formula to get back to winning.  Somehow Dion Waiters ends up playing the Grinch, while Goran is the one who saves Christmas. The story writes itself.

Johnson: An inexplicable blizzard sweeps through Miami, and the city is ill equipped to handle the snow. As mayhem ensues and the Mayor Tomás Pedro Regalado panics, the Heat’s resident Canadian, Kelly Olynyk, organizes the communal effort to restore Miami to its pre-blizzard condition. The snow cleanup quickly becomes a team bonding event, and the Heat rally together for the rest of the season, overcoming the remainder of their schedule just as they overcame the snow.

Nurse: The movies plot would definitely be about a group of lovable losers who cannot get it together… unfortunately this Hallmark movie probably would not have the typical, happy ending.

Eyrich: In the land of the misfits, a group has been assembled to do good for the city of Miami and all those who have believed in them. With the injury cruse plaguing Pat Riley’s plan, there’s no one to guide his sleigh. Riley’s plan now is in jeopardy unless he finds someone to save Christmas.
