Boston-Miami/TNT/8PM

[TruGM]

Plus why does your team need a PG? You just need someone to defend the other teams PG's. You have LeBron and Wade to handle the ball.

[BronBron06]

LeBron is NOT the problem. Our SYSTEM is the problem.

We're not taking advantage of the skills of our Big 3. Wade and Bosh can both be great off the ball, and LeBron is a tremendous passer. We just need to run more...but here comes the problem...

A.) We apparently don't practice offense. amen
B.) We can't grab rebounds.

Coach spo really needs to practice offense more. when was the last time we have seen wade taking mid range jumps in the last 2 years. wade game has decrease since Coach spo game into coaching. now lebron james can't shoot.

But isnt Defense is what he preach about... other than that, leave it to Wade.

SAME CRAP SYSTEM before The Miami Triad formed , KG saved us by HIGHLIGHTING THE CANCER IN OUR SYSTEM which is SPO.

Team basketball wins games.

Yep. The Boston Celtics are a team. The Heat thus for are a collection of talent. We need a TEAM!

F U Pierce!

Wade really needs a Garey payton moment. Wade was sleep walking the whole game. offense and defense wade suck bad. everyone showed up to play except wade.

[BigBallingMIA]

BTW I have never seen Wade so disinterested/lethargic. He was just standing around watching James

[TrueRain]

I remember when Wade wouldn't even take a 3...I miss those days

[andre316]

Spo's word o' the day for the pregame strategy board was "edge." Does anyone want to take a guess at what that's supposed to mean?

He's on the edge of termination.

I think you guys should start Eddie House at PG and Big Z at C.

The problem is not Bosh or Haslem, they both try hard, but sometimes you just need someone tall and big enough that some rebounds just fall in their hands.

Eddie house is pesky enough to bother other PG's and he can shoot the 3!

you want to start a shooting guard, who never played PG, as a PG?

We don't need him to play PG, we just need him to play as a "1-guard". Basically, let LeBron or Wade push the ball and run the offense, House is a spot-up shooter for spacing, and he's assigned the opposing PG on defense. He definitely shouldn't be guarding Ray Allen.

Eh Wade is a primmadonna, always pouting and sulking when things don't go his way. Too bad Spoelstra doesn't have the balls to pull him, no reason he should have been in for 40 with the way things were going.

The problem lies when Boston offense switch

Where the heck is Stackhouse or James Jones where you need them.... House shouldn't really be playing against the Celtics, He's clearly outmatched against them.

[thecrowning]

The worst thing is that Spo is still saying the same things after each loss, that they need to stick with the system. Take your losses and change up. Play Chalmers and Pittman. You want to bench them because of whatever message you are sending, guess what, it goes both ways, bench JA if he is not producing, until he figures it out. JA is not Dwyane fukking Wade ok? Even if he is, you should still bench him.

I definitely don't want House starting, but his offense is worth his drawbacks in limited minutes. James Jones does need more playing time, though.

And Mike Miller can't come back soon enough. I think our best lineup will be Z-Bosh-LeBron-Miller-Wade.

[Miamis3rdRing]

Normally that Pierce quote would piss me off (Eh..actually it does...screw you Paul!), but we suck right now. I'd like to think it will light a fire under the asses of our players, but at this point I doubt it.

This was a big game, and yet our players came out awful. That's pathetic, and disgusting. Especially considering what not only happened to us against Boston on opening night, but also our monumental collapse against Utah 2 nights ago.

The crowd should have boo'd the hell out of the team tonight.

F U Pierce!

I despise that flailing flopping bitch.

[TheAnkh]

Difference between teams; One team plays like a team. The other plays like a street ball team. How many plays did the Celtics run to get someone open. On the other hand, EVERY SINGLE PLAY WAS ISO or P&R. No movement on offense, no back door screens, nothing. SPO = Randy Shannon....

Well everyone is going to jump down my throat for saying this, but a big part of that is LeBron. He has the ball in his hands entirely too much and his style does not encourage ball movement. This experiment at PG is going to fail if you doesn't start to realize that its okay for him to pass the ball, and yes even when it won't end up as an assist in his stat column.

They started the game playing Lebron off the ball, and how did that turn out? I understand that Lebron playing PG is part of the problem, but you don't have much option when you don't even play Chalmers. Play Chalmers, the starting unit will have a clear direction, the ball can still go through Lebron's hands, but it would not stick as much. Watch him play with Gibson and Mo. Playing Arroyo and Lebron at the same time brings back the Eric Snow' era Lebron.

Playing Pittman/Magliore would be miraculous for Bosh.

That's at least a sensible place to start.

You guys are mad at me now for saying that, but watch and see what happens if he continues to play that way. But I actually hope you are right, and that if we do take Arroyo out of the lineup his style will change. I personally have wanted Arroyo out of the starting lineup since the 3rd game of the season because he ruins our spacing, but I welcome it even more if taking him out will make LeBron pound the ball less too.

[BronBron06]

Pound the ball less, and let Bron go idle watching over the corner while Wade and Bosh attempt those hideous PnRs, Same stuff, repeat, same crap results unless it's against fodders.

It was on LeBron's hand because opposing teams tend to clamp down on him more, giving out an easy pass. Wade.... yeah he could barely keep up tonight.

It doesnt matter who hold the ball, as long as the offense keeps moving not just watching somewhere at the 3 point arc for either Wade or LeBron, this team has hope

Too bad Spo is a lost cause to not recognize these flaws in offense,

Not even recognizing as SIMPLE AND OBVIOUS Joel Mismatch forcing him to start, being killed by Shaq over and over....Was it like 5-14 before calling a timeout LOL and bench his sorry ass

[Iputsomepantson]

^to add to your thought Bronbron....

Anthony had ZERO shots. ZERO SHOTS. How do you have a starter out there getting you ZERO shots against an opponent like the Celtics. That's on the play designing. The players aren't even looking at Joel cuz he can't even get open due to our plays.

C'mon man.

Joel does NOTHING on offense though, so what's the point of having him in the starting lineup anyway? Yeah, he blocks shots, but other than that nothing.

He either needs to be benched or sit down altogether. The experiment is over.

[Iputsomepantson]

Agreed agent, but who do we put out there? Big Z can't do it all year and Haslem not Bosh are starting C caliber.

Big Kat could get into foul trouble, but at least he can bang.

Pittman's a rookie, but he can't be much worse than Joel, can he?
