You should post this anytime Indiana goes on any kind of a run. Sh#t will hit the fan.

Just glancing over it...Miami Heat have one of the most expensive crappy supporting casts in the league. The Heat are up there with Detroit and Charlotte.

I am worried for the future.

Is it just a coincidence that some of these guys like Shane and Mike were very productive for their former teams but when they get here they can't make a thing even though they couldn't be more open on some of them? Most of them seem to lose confidence easily and just resort to passing to Lebron or Wade.

[Chosen01]

Dwade and Lebron need to find their 3 point stroke again, Especially dwade, he used to be money on clutch 3's, but not so much anymore

Forget his 3pt stroke,he needs to find his mid range stroke. His jumper has been really poor for a while now.


For whatever reason people want to completely ignore that Wade was great in the last series shooting 60 percent for the first two games against the Knicks and averaged like 22 on 51% for the series then when Wade has bad a game or two it's "oh Wade is on the decline".He's really only been shooting bad in the last two games, I don't expect that to continue.

Most importantly for this game we need role players to step,that's a given and I really hope Chalmers can get going in the series and JJ hits some 3s as well.LeBron and Wade will get theirs, we just need someone to at least attempt to fill in that Bosh role

From a Game 2 film study: Guess how many dribbles Mike Miller took in the halfcourt? 4. Lost the ball on 3 of them.

Man i hate that Bosh had to get injured. I truly felt that with him this team would've won the title without a doubt in my mind and this is why: We have 3 guys that are capable of scoring 20+ points every single night to go along with a very stifling defense that is capable of holding teams to 85 points on many nights. The big 3 could score 85 by themselves! Whatever we got from the role players would have been overkill . Now without Bosh we actually have to count on the role players to up their production which is really far fetched imo but if they are able to raise their level(am looking at you Haslem and Mike) we can absolutely still win it all. If they don't step up then we're in trouble.

[Vertical Limit]

Haslem was going to Dallas for 8 million per year. His deal at the time was a steal.

[iboxlefty]

Drive the ball, get them in foul trouble early. Play fast straight out the gate, do not get behind early.

[TrueRain]

Finally Big Pitt starting! Like he should!

[twozeroMM]

Haslem could have wanted more money is what I'm saying, but he took a smaller salary... I'm grateful for that but you're right.

The fact that him and Miller are signed for awhile (Miller even longer I believe) and they are old and deteriorating, just a bad move by Riley.

Miller's contract is so bad... ugh. AMNESTY HIM EVEN IF WE NEXT YEAR MAN. We can do better for cheaper. Shoot, I'm sure some SG from the draft will be much better. A guy who is a scorer.

WE NEED A SPARK OFF THE BENCH.

We need a Spark and mainly a spark that can create his own shot. A player like Crawford would be perfect!

[LikeABosh]

Finally Big Pitt starting! Like he should!

He is? You mean...Spo is...making an adjustment?

[DefenseWins]

well it's nice Spo doesn't wait til Game 6 or whatever to change the line up.

I like Pittman starting, we need some physicality.

The thing with Pittman is because he's young he needs constant play. He had a groove but I fear he will start to suck again because we basically threw him into the fire and ask him to be productive.

This will be interesting.

[Heat3]

Battier and Pittman start. Spo just throwing darts at the wall hoping something works. Those scrubs better show up.

Though, to be honest, it's probably better for the Heat to extend this series so Bosh has more time to heal.

EthanJSkolnick
Dexter Pittman and Shane Battier are starting.

EthanJSkolnick
Another brand new lineup: Pittman, James, Battier, Wade, Chalmers. Haslem, Anthony, Miller off bench. Cole will likely get time. Jones too.

EthanJSkolnick
So, yes, LeBron opens at the 4, though either he or Battier could start on West.

[DefenseWins]

LeBron and Pitt front court


lol

PITTSANITY ANYONE?! LOl

Yeah I'm afraid of this as well which is why I wanted him to get some playing time against the Knicks

[LeChosen1]

MY BOY THE PITT IS HERE BABY

[Mars]

Heat get a third scorer to contribute, Heat win.

[DefenseWins]

LeBron is very sprinty tonight. Hm.

[Miamis3rdRing]

PITTSANITYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Wow, can't believe he's starting after not even playing.

I like the change up though...those other scrubs were horrible.
