A state occuring before heat exhaustion but after heat frustration. Often accompanied by phrases such as "Dammit! It's hot! Why is it so damn hot!"

Having no money in your bank account because it all goes toward energy bills used to keep your air conditioning running during a hot summer.

Any situation considered negative in some manner, or will more often than not have a less than ideal result. Awkward situations also apply.

A heat check is when you're in the car with a group of friends and one calls out, "HEAT CHECK!" The heat is cranked up to the max to make the car as hot as possible. It stays this way until some ultimatum is met (usually someone doing something, guessing something, admitting something, etc.) at which point the heat check is over until another heat check is called.

After James Harden had requested a trade from the Rockets in late 2020, Heat Twitter was divided as to whether or not they would give up Tyler Herro in a Harden trade.

Fans in favour of keeping Herro argued that he has a bright future ahead of him, being someone who scored 37 in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Celtics in his rookie season. They argued that the 2019-20 squad had reached the Finals and could only get better from here. Arguments were also made questioning Harden’s work ethic and whether he would be committed to the Heat culture.

Fans in favour of giving up Herro in a Harden trade argued that players on the caliber of Harden do not come along regularly, and Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo require that extra piece to take them over the top even if a sacrifice of the young core is necessary. This faction argued that Harden would get used to and fit into Heat culture, and if not, he can still give you 40+ on any given night so commitment wasn’t all too important in that sense.

Serious arguments were had on Twitter and the Heat Civil War reached a breaking point where some of those in favour of keeping Herro began to attack Bam - an untouchable player.

As the season played out, and Harden got traded to the Brooklyn Nets, the consensus shifted to the idea that Pat Riley should make (and should’ve made) serious moves to get the 2020-21 Heat team up to grips. In this sense, those in favour of giving up Herro were victors of the Heat Civil War.
