i like the d potential with banks, marion, haslem, and wright to a lesser level

lol @ the thought of Blount/Haslem or Blount/Marion being our frontcourt.

Four numbers and a dash...53-35

Who else?

That's what happens when you're starting PG is completely garbage.

Banks is one of the better players on the team.

Miami lost this game because Riley informed Wade that Beasley could be he Toni Kukoc as Marion is his Pippen.

you guys think wade is losing games on purpose?

I can't help but notice time & time again costly mistakes flash makes while the heat are on a run & especially inside 2min of a close game. Things he never did even as a rook

No trolling bull****, just a honest question. I'm 1 to agree with "lose today to be better prepared for tomorrow"

blount is way too soft for being a C at best he is a situational PF

they need a banger as much as a pg, they can t catch a freaking rebound and opposing guards drve in the post like it s i95

you're right man. i've noticed this as well. he would always commit some dumb turnover or pass up an open shot.

at the end of the day... i don't blame him.

BEASLEY... ROSE... :pray:

Honestly, we should have not loss this game. No Gordon or Deng? We're too damn undersized down the stretch, there was one possesion in partciualr for the Bulls where they pulled like 3 offesnive rebounds in a row. Really could've used UD out there. We sorely interior/paint defense...
UD isn't shotblocker, but at very least he would drawn a few charges. Sefolsha got to rim reckless a hanful times, and was making layups. Just can't let that happen.

I missed most of the game but the last quater.

Two things the Heat need, is that pointguard, that could push the ball.

Am praying for Rose in the draft.

And a big guy that can freaking rebound.

Free Agency.

Oh yeah, some shooters too.

But let get back to the pointguard thing, Wade has the tendency to milk the clock, not good, and make stupid turnovers, after turnover, not good either. Is better to have a pure pointguard that wants to run, than Wade kills the clock. And also Riley calls the most lame plays when Wade is running the point, everyone just stands around, while Wade drives and makes a turnover. Is to predictable.

Wade's playing hurt - a shin injury hurts like heck

who can we trade for Tyrus Thomas?

We should petition the league to cancel the rest of our national televised games. Seriously. No one outside of our very own faithful deserves to watch such a dreadful team. Well, except for NetsForce.

I finally got to watch some of the game last night.....

It was a pretty big let down. The Bulls weren't even close to being a complete team with Deng, Wallace, and Gordon out.

Our defensive rotations were dreadful, and I only got to watch the last half of the fourth quarter.

Where was J Will? Do I even want to know? Do I even really care?

Banks didn't seem to being so good on defense which is also a let down. I'll give him a pass for one game I guess.

I am very sad that Ricky isn't working out in Miami. I was one of the few people that was high on him coming here. He is not playing the way he did in Boston in 04/05 when he was almost the 6th man of the year. He took a couple of (Please Use More Appropriate Word) shots last night, especially that one three there at the very end. Very sad to see.

Wade looks beyond disgusted with this team. You can see it on his face. His TOs were rediculous again as well.

We should have won that game plain and simple. Big let down. I understand we want the Lottery and all that, but do we have to set NBA losing records in the process? Can't we keep some level of dignity?

Dwyane Wade is not purposely committing ridiculous turnovers in order to get more lotto balls. Those ridiculous turnovers were apart of his game back when we were title contenders.

when wade plays point it takes him over 6 secs to pass halfcourt ..seems like he can easily get an 8 sec backcourt violation if teams were to double him early....he loves to milk the clock for some reaosn , i thought heat was done with this halfcourt b.s after shaq left

Post #55 » by **kyphi** » Fri Feb 15, 2008 5:51 pm

I cannot fault him - he's playing quite banged-up and did have 30 points, 7 assists, and 7 rebounds - plus, who would you trust with the ball other than Marion?

Flash4thewin · Post #56 » by **Flash4thewin** » Sat Feb 16, 2008 2:41 am

out rebounded by 18.........Joe Smith out rebounded Marion, Odom out rebounded Marion. This team needs a real post player with size more than a pg.
