I'm shocked all of those places are still open. Corporate restaurants are taking a major hit these days. And, this goes back to well before the virus.

I think those wanting to see LeBron fail are the ones that were more likely to put those unrealistic projections on the Heat squads.
Knowing the HISTORY of the NBA, you know it is difficult to repeat, let alone 3-peat. Winning 3/4 is still a LOT to ask for from anyone.
I don't think those expecting them to "run through the League" (whatever that even means quantitatively speaking), we treating this as if it was a Simmed Franchise on NBA 2K.
This is revisionist history at it's finest. The Heat put those expectations on themselves. They thought it was going to be easy and they broke the league. It is difficult to 3 peat, takes incredible play, good health and a little bit of luck. And they were much closer (like literally a shot away) from being 1-3. That would be considered a failure.

Palm is supposed to be pretty good. It's pretty similar to Morton's (upscale corporate steakhouse). Fertitta's company bought it out earlier this year, though, so guaranteed the quality has dropped. Anytime something goes from family-owned to corporate, it takes a hit.

Hope they remember not to eat the ribeye from Del Frisco's if there's 4 men delivering it.

As I mentioned earlier, them saying that foolishness at their Press Conference doesn't factor into what EYE felt the projections should have been.
But we can agree to disagree.
Anyone calling it a FAILURE is just #NTExtremes IMO

Well you're in the minority Jemele. I would like to ask what your expectations and projections were at the time though putting 3 top 15-20 (including 2 top 5 players) at the time all in their primes together, but then again I don't really care cause it's not in the moment.

4 of those places, including Morton’s, are steak houses. The other two are seafood spots. I’d guess they’re all about the same level of Morton’s (and other big chain places). Food is good - depending on what you order - but overpriced. Of course, the NBA players don’t have to worry about the prices, so its probably good for them to have those places as options.

I understand I am in the minority.
I honestly didn't make any predictions. I generally don't unless I see a NT dude making a wild statement that I ask them to, "Put some money up." But in terms of a long term, "How many rings will they win" type of prediction, too many moving parts for me to even try and predict something like that.

Based on this logic, are we going to always hold what a PLAYER says as the standard of which a team is expected to play?
(Forget COVID Happened) Hypothetically speaking, if on 09/23/2019, Ben Simmons claimed, "The 76ers will win the title this year" and they didn't, would we base our exceptions of the 76ers chances simply on what HE said? Would HIS words not being accurate determine whether or not we view the season as a success or failure?

Zach Lowe talked about the Heatles on one of his recent pods and how he thinks Riley did a really poor job filling out the team in that first year. Gave 30 year old Mike Miller a 5 year deal and then signed other aging players like Juwan Howard (37), Zydrunas Ilgauskus (35), Ericka Dampier (35), Eddie House (32), and Mike Bibby (32), all of whom ended up contributing very little.
LeBron's performance in the 2011 finals and Wade in the 2014 finals were definitely disappointments.
Saying the 4 year run as a whole is a disappointment/failure is definitely some #NTExtremes.

Heatles was both a success and disappointment
Disappointment because of Bronzo “not 1 not 2”....
Success because it they won 2/4 finals and made Miami a destination team even tho theyve been pretty average since

Yea this, "Should have been 3, could have been 1" is just funny.
But, yall did the same with GSW and the whole, "Every team they beat had a key player injured" card.
Stuff happens man.
