i never said he was BAD...im talking about trading him for the BEST BIG in the league, not some scrub...jesus, you people lol...

the guy is obviously at the point of his career where he is not going to improve anymore exponentially, we have a glaring hole at center, so big that ordinary centers are killing us, even role playing big men are pushing us around...we have a surplus at the wing, put it to use...Wade and Lebron cancel each other out, they cannot consistently play together and play at a high level with each other on the court, one of them gets wasted away in the corner away from the play...

Everyone wants to get Spo out, but whoever we plug in, guess what?? we are going to run the same flawed system because as long as Riley is at the top, we are going to run it, we've been doing it for the past 20 years. I dont know why people think we are going to go triangle are dramatically change our system by getting Spo out...so because of that system, the one that famously centered around a REAL big man (Zo, Shaq), we need someone down there to anchor the paint...

@EthanJSkolnick

The Heat is having a team meeting, followed by practice. Should be available to the media around 2pm.

No because firing Spo means this system is a failure ( which was evident ) with this this roster. No real center yet an offense centered around a center. Failure to adapt. Its almost like were playing checkers while everyone else is playing chess.This will become crystal clear when Lebron Wade Bosh get coached in the olympics.

Im so not even disappointed in Wade, thats to light of a word to say :evil:

I don't think Wade will play in the olympics and it'll be interesting to see ifChris recovers to play in the olympics - their bodies will need the rest.

From a Miami pov I hope they don't because they NEED to rest this off-season to be functional next year and particularly late in the season.

To compare a team of all-stars playing inferior opponents to the Heat playing in the final stages of the playoffs is disingenuous.

Break up Big 3? Because Miller and Battier lost their shots, Haslem lost his game, Riley never found a C or PG, and they trail 2-1? #panic

This does feel like the FInals. Say what you want but Vogel is a great coach.

Kind of weird: Battier was suppose to have a charity conference call, canceled for practice. Practice canceled

Probably a good move anyways. Let them rest all day.

Said it yesterday and will say it again: those guys don't need practice. They all could ball at some moment of their life, there is no need to make them shoot another 200. Battier/Miller/UD won't hit more shots on sunday because of some hours of practice. They need to get better in their head, to discuss the problems anc to look at some plays on the witheboard.

Yeah well Spoelstra is very robotic and goes by a spreadsheet schedule.

I wish he was more like Jack McKeon.

Spo isn't the dumbest guy out there. Nobody who saw yesterdays game can doubt about the problem being anywhere else then in their head. Spo now just needs the balls to adress the problems. Hopefully Riley has his back and shows clearly who's Boss in the locker room. And it's neither LeBron, Wade or UD.

I've been saying this for months but everyone called me crazy...but the below is from Ira:

-- Tensions within the locker room involve more than Wade, with power forward Udonis Haslem disappointed over how he has been handled this postseason by coach Erik Spoelstra. Haslem was removed from the starting lineup for Game 3, playing just 7:18.

HE LOST THE LOCKER ROOM! Spo's crappy coaching and Wade's hissy fit attitude will get this team eliminated.

You're blaming the coach when your 2 captains play like crap and have the nerve to be mad when the coach benches you or criticizes you? Get that outta here. This is the playoffs man.

Those 2 are the captains. Man up, play better. The locker room is losing respect of those 2 if they're going to blame the coach.

The coach should be able to bench every single one of his players. He maybe lacks of experience, but the behavior of LeBron (last regular season) and now Wade/Haslem (if that's true) is shameful. Riley better gets Spo's back now.

I've already addressed Wade...he's a diva, 6 year old child that throws a hissy fit...
Wade's attitude and Spo are killing this team...and now Udonis "I Suck This Year" thinks he's a freakin' hall of famer and is whining about not being utilized well...shut the heck up, and make your shots.

Riley better kick Spo's @ss and the players too. Separate meetings!

This is the time of the year when champions are forged! Time to step up and join the pantheon of the greats that came before!!!

Dude has been manhandled out there
