What seems to have kept up in the time frame is their use of the Instagram and X. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>After each regular and postseason win, the Instagram and X admin\u2019s will post a video showing the box score and with their \u201cWinning\u201d theme song playing in the background. A fast and easy way to let their fans know that they are on the positive side of the record and each video will be an edited highlight from the game, a pop culture reference popular during the week, or some sort of funny video. What all of them have in common, besides from the Heat win, is that they are eye-catching posts that haven\u2019t slowed down since the Heat continue to be a mainstay in the conference standings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/adriengainessportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35610\/2024\/02\/IMG_4863-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"726\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/adriengainessportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35610\/2024\/02\/IMG_4863-1-726x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-291\" style=\"width:284px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/adriengainessportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35610\/2024\/02\/IMG_4863-1-726x1024.jpg 726w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/adriengainessportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35610\/2024\/02\/IMG_4863-1-213x300.jpg 213w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/adriengainessportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35610\/2024\/02\/IMG_4863-1-768x1083.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/adriengainessportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35610\/2024\/02\/IMG_4863-1-1089x1536.jpg 1089w, https:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/adriengainessportjournal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/35610\/2024\/02\/IMG_4863-1.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 726px) 100vw, 726px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-social-links alignleft is-layout-flex wp-block-social-links-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"wp-social-link wp-social-link-instagram  wp-block-social-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/accounts\/login\/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2F\" class=\"wp-block-social-link-anchor\"><svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\"><path d=\"M12,4.622c2.403,0,2.688,0.009,3.637,0.052c0.877,0.04,1.354,0.187,1.671,0.31c0.42,0.163,0.72,0.358,1.035,0.673 c0.315,0.315,0.51,0.615,0.673,1.035c0.123,0.317,0.27,0.794,0.31,1.671c0.043,0.949,0.052,1.234,0.052,3.637 s-0.009,2.688-0.052,3.637c-0.04,0.877-0.187,1.354-0.31,1.671c-0.163,0.42-0.358,0.72-0.673,1.035 c-0.315,0.315-0.615,0.51-1.035,0.673c-0.317,0.123-0.794,0.27-1.671,0.31c-0.949,0.043-1.233,0.052-3.637,0.052 s-2.688-0.009-3.637-0.052c-0.877-0.04-1.354-0.187-1.671-0.31c-0.42-0.163-0.72-0.358-1.035-0.673 c-0.315-0.315-0.51-0.615-0.673-1.035c-0.123-0.317-0.27-0.794-0.31-1.671C4.631,14.688,4.622,14.403,4.622,12 s0.009-2.688,0.052-3.637c0.04-0.877,0.187-1.354,0.31-1.671c0.163-0.42,0.358-0.72,0.673-1.035 c0.315-0.315,0.615-0.51,1.035-0.673c0.317-0.123,0.794-0.27,1.671-0.31C9.312,4.631,9.597,4.622,12,4.622 M12,3 C9.556,3,9.249,3.01,8.289,3.054C7.331,3.098,6.677,3.25,6.105,3.472C5.513,3.702,5.011,4.01,4.511,4.511 c-0.5,0.5-0.808,1.002-1.038,1.594C3.25,6.677,3.098,7.331,3.054,8.289C3.01,9.249,3,9.556,3,12c0,2.444,0.01,2.751,0.054,3.711 c0.044,0.958,0.196,1.612,0.418,2.185c0.23,0.592,0.538,1.094,1.038,1.594c0.5,0.5,1.002,0.808,1.594,1.038 c0.572,0.222,1.227,0.375,2.185,0.418C9.249,20.99,9.556,21,12,21s2.751-0.01,3.711-0.054c0.958-0.044,1.612-0.196,2.185-0.418 c0.592-0.23,1.094-0.538,1.594-1.038c0.5-0.5,0.808-1.002,1.038-1.594c0.222-0.572,0.375-1.227,0.418-2.185 C20.99,14.751,21,14.444,21,12s-0.01-2.751-0.054-3.711c-0.044-0.958-0.196-1.612-0.418-2.185c-0.23-0.592-0.538-1.094-1.038-1.594 c-0.5-0.5-1.002-0.808-1.594-1.038c-0.572-0.222-1.227-0.375-2.185-0.418C14.751,3.01,14.444,3,12,3L12,3z M12,7.378 c-2.552,0-4.622,2.069-4.622,4.622S9.448,16.622,12,16.622s4.622-2.069,4.622-4.622S14.552,7.378,12,7.378z M12,15 c-1.657,0-3-1.343-3-3s1.343-3,3-3s3,1.343,3,3S13.657,15,12,15z M16.804,6.116c-0.596,0-1.08,0.484-1.08,1.08 s0.484,1.08,1.08,1.08c0.596,0,1.08-0.484,1.08-1.08S17.401,6.116,16.804,6.116z\"><\/path><\/svg><span class=\"wp-block-social-link-label screen-reader-text\">Instagram<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Advances in technology and the internet leaves both the team and players various outlets to voice their opinions and news on all platforms.
