The Miami Heat and the rest of the league are in or headed to Orlando. Here are three things that we hope don’t happen while they’re there.

With the Miami Heat and the NBA getting set to tip-off their restart, things are starting to look up for sports and NBA fans around the world. While the safety of the person and the player is the most important thing to keep in mind at all times, they have set out to finish the season and we will be watching since they are.

With all that in mind though, we know what our most desired outcome from a team perspective would be, that is for the Miami Heat to win the NBA title, asterisk or not. What is our least desired outcome though? Anything besides a first-round sweep, from a team perspective, but what about from an individual player to player perspective?

That is what we will tackle here today and it probably won’t be what you’re expecting. Here are the three things we don’t want to happen in the bubble of the NBA restart.

1. Meyers Leonard misses a game… because he is gaming

We all know that Meyers Leonard is a pro gamer’s gamer by now. The man is a beast when it comes to video games, it’s just a fact.

He is not only an avid gamer, but he is somewhat of an influencer in that culture as well. He lives it, breathes it, and sleeps it. He even brought a really all-encompassing setup with him to the bubble.

Getting plenty of study time in on game film, according to his own Twitter account, we see that he’s preparing off the court to be on the court. We just hope that he doesn’t forget to get to the court one day, as he finishes off one last round of gaming.

2. Tyler Herro goes into shock after not being able to wear designer or take pictures with girlfriend

If you follow any of Miami Heat rookie sharpshooter Tyler Herro’s social media, you’ll see that he’s been spending a lot of time with a special young lady as of recent. Heck, he practically lives in a still shot somewhere along our social feeds.

From the Twitter feed of current girlfriend, we think, Katya Henry, you will also notice that Herro loves flossing in his designer threads. We just hope that the guy can maintain a level of sanity without being able to post pictures of himself with his girlfriend and a little bit of Gucci adorning his body.

3. Duncan Robinson forgets how to shoot after showing us he can work on it while laying on the couch

Not sure if you all saw it, but during the crux of the initial quarantining we went on as a nation, the Miami Heat released videos of home workouts that could be done to stay sharp while stuck in the house. Appropriately so, Duncan Robinson was in charge of helping to produce the shooting drill video.

One of the only real skills that can be worked on fully in the confines of one’s own home, Duncan should be ready to let it fly, right? We sure hope so.

After seeing this video and knowing what we know, wouldn’t it just be the unluckiest thing if he came out ice cold or rusty? We sure hope not, especially after the above tweet and video.

Again, the first thing we do want is for everyone participating to remain healthy and maintain safety. That is most important above all else. After that though, these are the three things we don’t want to happen in the bubble.
