I'm liking Solomon Hill more and more. He's a smart, sound player. He's the kind of player who could be a positive fit with any lineup.

Lol so NOW we win in Miami.

Really like this roster. They keep fighting and winning games. If they could close them out, we'd be over .500.

He honestly could (and should) fit in very nicely with the rest of the starting lineup next year. As much as this season sucks, what he's shown has been extremely encouraging. Add in a lotto to mid first pick, and Miles and Mahinmi (and Rudez - meh) off the bench and we could quickly reload if everything goes right. I think Vogel is growing a bit as a coach, though I worry that he's a feisty underdog type coach and this season will reinforce it.

I really hope we resign Copeland and Allen to reasonable deals. Love what they've done for us and think they could both be great bench pieces. I'm still eh on Sloan though.

I couldn't be more proud of this team. They have guts and they won't back down from anyone. I'm just really, really proud right now :D

He did everything BUT hit shots. And even then, he did enough of the other things to help us win. Tough D from him all night, too. I'm liking him as a nice little ancillary piece. Really starting to remind me of Derrick McKey in terms of production; sometimes, not noticeable in the stat sheets, but he always seems to be doing something to help.

Lavoy is playing well, too. Cope. Sloan. No home run prospects on this team, but we've got some guys that you would love as your 7th thru 9th spots.

Hibbert looked like DPoY kinda guy last night.

If every team wore a Heat jersey, he'd be the best center in the NBA.
