Fans with hindsight ! :roll:

Riley should've invested in that crystal ball.

To be perfectly honest I have never liked Haslem for the fact he simply undersized and unable to finish at the rim. But forgetting about all that.

We are tied at 1-1, we are the better team even without Bosh and both teams know it. I was even hard on this team after the loss, but for god's sake we still are favored to win this series. The overreaction has been ridiculous and I just hope we come out and play much better in game 3.

But now we're seeing him play 3 or 4 different positions, logging in 40+ minutes. This is gonna do well for him by the time we get to the Finals, if we get there.

Also funny how Spo panics, and plays LeBron the entire 2nd half, at least rest him for 2 minutes. All Spo does is ride and Wade/LeBron coattails whenever we are in trouble. Oh wait, Spo has been doing that his whole coaching career, riding on wade, now he's relying on wade/lebron to do everything, hit a miracle 1 vs 5 fadeaway contested jumpshot. Good Job Spo.

Last night he should have given Lebron at least 2 or 3 minutes in the 3rd. A big reason we sucked so bad in the third was b/c Lebron was clearly taking a break while playing b/c he knew he needed energy for the 4th. Lebron got blocked 2x in the final minutes on layups which I blame entirely on his fatigue. The free throws were flat out choke though, fatigue has nothing to do with it.

Agreed, honestly my heart starts pounding when LeBron shoots FTs in the clutch.. because I know he'll miss at least 1. but he missed both last night... goddamn. :cry:

Im only gonna ask for 2 things... A win and decent contribution from the bench. I hate watching 2 vs 5 the whole game its ugly and unacceptable. Go HEAT!

Wade is going snap out of his funk and is going to go HAM. Book it.

Vertical Limit · Post #28 » by **Vertical Limit** » Wed May 16, 2012 6:10 pm

Let's see what "adjustments" we make tomorrow. Honestly, I'd give Terrell Harris and Cole more PT. When your role players are only giving you 5 points you have nothing to lose by giving other role players more PT. 5 points, any scrub can do that, why not give Cole and Harris a shot? At least Cole is a very good man to man defender and he can penetrate.

And sorry but this isn't the time to worry about people's feelings.

So move Haslem to the bench and start Turiaf and Pittman.

He'll probably go ham on another little PG and pick up a flagrant

Yes, Wade is now the new KG that picks on small guys only, right?

I'm confident Wade will have his best game yet Game 3.

I really hope we can somehow pull this series out.

I think about how in 09 the Celtics lost Garnett while still havin a more complete team than us but they still couldnt manage to advance. Now look at us without Bosh, no bench, no roleplayers, and inept coach? Ish doesnt look good at all.

I really hope we can pull off this miracle without Bosh.

As far as i'm concerned the series still isn't in doubt, we're still the favorites we were one game ago..

Just believe, Believe that Lebron and Wade won't let us fall in the 2nd round, believe that Bosh will return soon and well. That's all we can do.

Putting things into perspective, we just have to do to them what they did to us, win on their floor.

I think Mario is too slow to guard Hill, and definitely too slow for Collison. He's picking up fouls too quickly and I think we need to get Cole more PT this game to check their PG. He did great yesterday. All he has to do is take open shots, run the fastbreak efficiently(no 1v3 shots), bring the ball up the court, and check their PG. I think he can get it done as long as he doesn't do too much.

Spo needs to give Lebron rest from I'd say either from 6:00 to 2:00 left in the third or from 4:00 to the end of the 3rd. If we start falling apart with him gone, bring him back in, but at least get him SOME rest.

Big Dex needs more PT, rotate between UD, Dex, Turiaf, and Joel. No Juwan no matter the situation.

LeBron needs to stop playing PG, play him only at the 3 or 4, PG is too tiring. Make sure Cole or Rio are there to take the ball up etc, worst case I'd rather use Wade as the PG. Terrel Harris should go in for a few minutes each game.

And another thing, here was what I did when I was assistant coaching a youth basketball team: Before they practice free throws, make them run laps or do some type of cardio to get them tired first, before they practice the FTs. This better simulates a real game situation and maybe would help Wade and Lebron in late game situations. Wade needs to practice his jump shot as much as possible and if it's not working, only shoot bank shots.

D-Wade and LeBron are gonna go bananas and we're gonna win this game, no doubt about it.

Vertical Limit · Post #37 » by **Vertical Limit** » Wed May 16, 2012 9:07 pm

Win at their floor Game 3 and 4 and after Game 4 I want Wade to go full douche mode and do the "This is my House" thing while standing on the broadcast table.

I have faith in LeBron and Wade, but we really need this game.

Been reading this forum for a long time now, haven't really been able to decide when to join and post something (mostly intimidated by the oldschool users with 5k+ posts lol

) but i feel now is the time.

One of the things that keeps me fueled up for everyday life is watching the Heat play (and winning) so, to make this short, i just wanna say that these Pacers are gonna be tough to beat in our current condition, but i still 6el1ev3 we can do this.

What was the name of the team, what position was the best, what was your best record. did you enjoy the kids?
