Colemers.... Lol couldn't stop laughing. Yeah I wouldn't mind bringing chauncy and trade Chalmers for some nice picks next year. I wanted to give Rio a chance cause of his experience with us but the guy simply sucks and can't play anymore

Look in the Ennis rookie of the year thread and you will see a clutch play he had

He had a couple of clutch and 1s that were really athletic

He shot the ball real well. His stroke was smooth today.

Him and Napier made the comeback AGAIN but they lost... Napier had a chance TWICE to win idk if you saw but eh whatever. Learning experience for those guys

Ennis and Napier make a great duo tho

More importantly, these two GIF's show how most teams will play defensively against Miami. Note on both Cleveland leaves Shawne Williams and Luol Deng open and then Cole and Deng. Lebron and the other weak side defender never leave the edge of the paint.

These were great finishing plays by Wade and Bosh but in most instances under tight defense (like in the playoffs), the ball will have to move to the weak side shooters. So far they have been inconsistent which is a big problem. Deng, Cole and Williams need to hit those open 3's in order to keep defenders off the paint and make Miami's offense work.

Chris Bosh has to better job with his passing. Luol Deng and Wade are good cutters, and sometimes Bosh can be a blackhole on offense.

That changes once Josh is inserted into the lineup. Defenses simply won't be able to leave him open at the three-point line. If they don't get to him, he'll hit shots.

Whenever he does pull defenders out to the arc to contest, the paint now opens up. He then possesses the playmaking ability, at power forward, to either swing the ball or initiate off the dribble and create if the shot isn't there.

Josh will be absolutely crucial for this team in terms of spacing and running a more balanced, structurally sound, efficient offense.

Last season might either be a break out or an anomaly season from the 3 for him. Again id rather see him shooting it over Wade and UD. Seeing the replays of UD camped out at the 3pt line and being ignored by opposing teams. Spo being Spo.

True... But on the strength of last season, that three-point shot is a threat defenses will have to honor until he shows opponents he can't hit them at that clip again.

Sounds very promising, we do need to some young blood in this team. I'm expecting our rooks this year will push our veterans to play harder, because they might just creep up on them and steal their playing time. Can't wait.

Players who are needed on this team;

Khem Birch, Shawn Jones, Reggie Williams and Andre Dawkins.


Players that need to be cut thusfar from what I've seen;

Shawne Williams


Players that need to play less than 10-12 min to be effective;

Udonis Haslem, Birdman

Players who should avoid shooting outside jumpers & just pass it;

Wade (should score off cuts, post ups, some drives & movement), Haslem (he's camping @ 3pt line + out of rebound position), Cole (only when shot clock low), Birch, Birdman, S. Jones

4th Quarter Players;

James Ennis. Shabazz Napier, Andre Dawkins, Khem Birch

Dawkins

Nah Shawne williams will get a spot

Gonna be our new Rashard lewis. The thing is he has looked good in the beginning... But when you overplay him, he doesn't look too good.

Return to Miami Heat
