We need to rid ourselves of the La Familia spy. Watch him prove his true loyalty on x-mas. Best x-mas gift Riley can give us is dumping Cole onto someone ASAP.

You guys think the team actually pulls the trigger on trades? We all want Cole gone

This is another reason why we should not be in tank mode. In a week or two, I am pretty sure that we are going to see some trades. I like Jabari Parker as a player and as a promising talent. I wish him the best.

I've always been against the tanking concept in general because the draft is simply a crapshoot....Cleveland's had a # of 1st rounders and only one of them truly panned out as a quality star after LBJ left them. Tanking is the cowards way to salvation and a false one at that, and it's simply not how the Heat organization operates. For that and many other things, I'm proud to call myself a Heat fan.

Tanking might not be such a bad idea, as long as we do it properly. But if we are not going to be among the top three, it makes no sense. Either we go in tank mode all the way, or we don't go in tank mode at all. I think it's already too late for us.

I'm starting to think they wont pull the trigger

with the injuries and the need for guys who know Spo's stupid ass system, I dont know if it will happen

especially him getting 30 mins games these days, like wtf?

Now if Napier got most of Cole's minutes... I wouldnt be so mad lol. Cole is good when he is in spurts, but after awhile he is Norris HOLE. lmao

The way the season is going, I would ultimately consider trading Cole to someone a huge success lmao

What's the point in tanking? We're not bad enough to pull it off but if we do, would you guys want to pull a page out of Philly's book? You also have to think about the hit the fanbase would take with it...

Wow...Tony Fioritino actually called the game by one point.

The hit the fanbase would take? Attendance is already getting ugly (the Bulls game the other day) regardless of tanking.

Wade said all he had to eat today was 3 toast and 2 bananas

no wonder he looks like crap (in his face, he looks tired)

he's vomiting and and got diarrhea at the same time, while he has to take the scoring load

and damn wish we could play nets more just to see Rio going off lol, he looks like a totally different person when facing the Nets

he stuffed that stat sheet... 10 points, 5 assists, 7 rebs, 4 steals, got dayum

no one is suggesting a philly tank lol

Post #514 » by **DefenseWins** » Wed Dec 17, 2014 6:47 am

Wade says he may not play tomorrow

understandable tbh

we have problems with Utah's bigs tho... but of course we'll play UD at Center when we have 3 real centers

Atleast Birdman is back... I dont think he played in the other Utah game.

By game time Wade may feel better. He is very driven. And, yes, it was nice to see Birdman back with a vengeance. Shabazz also showed up. The only disappointment in the game for me was Ennis (he had too few minutes to really make an impact or show much) and COLE (who doesn't seem to be taking his game seriously).

Big time performance by Wade given his health status right now, he looked drained but pulled through. Deng brought a lot of great energy, as usual, Chalmers and Bird were important factors off the bench and we got a big but also lucky win in Brooklyn. This game could've been a blowout if we a) didn't start with two offensive liabilities, b) didn't have so many limited offensive players on the bench and c) varied our defensive scheme a little more tonight because the Nets kept doing the same thing and getting the same looks.

EDIT: Napier was big time too, I will say that moving him to the D-League is the dumbest thing we can do. He is a very important player for us off the bench and without him, we wouldn't have won tonight.

we won though bad habits and im disappointed we didnt really get the young guys or really many of our players involved. Almost another choke in the 4th. I dont want to be the current day Lakers where Kobe takes all the shots. I want Wade to go off but everyone else to contribute as well, seems like we only relied on Wade playmaking and that isnt a good long term strategy.

From your coach

"I just hope he's sick again tomorrow," Spoelstra quipped, with the Heat hosting the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night at AmericanAirlines Arena to complete the back-to-back set. "He was our best bail out."

So basically, instead of asking/allowing a little more offensively from others on the floor, you wish a proven SICK VET can BAIL YOU OUT again tonight at home. Keep “dancing with the stars” soon you won’t have healthy stars to dance with.

p.s. I got the joke, glad we won

Spo is still an idiot. Don't really care what anyone has to say about that. Tbh

He can't afford to. The stocks for Li Ning Co.-Hong Kong Stock Exchange (Shoe Maker) where he holds major equity stakes is at a 52 week low at $3.06 plunging heavily the past few months. It used to be $30 a share in 2010 & around $10 when he signed up. If theres a tank, it can't help the stock or his overall value. He's probably hoping for new deals as well.
