I hate Westbrick/Chuckbrook. Dude only acts tough when his team is up. Other than that, he is a baby that cries when he throws up wild shots and throws himself on the floor and gets mad when the refs don't award him. I want him to continue to take those ill advised pull up J's. If we piss him off enough to make him continue taking Ill-advised shots he may be the reason why we win this series.

Someone please dunk on him.

He has been asked about this but his reply has been "I forgot about him" This is a big problem for somebody who's in charge of subbing in fresh legs. If he's not able to regulate player's time on the floor then someone else should be handed that duty.

Last night he was asked about Turiaf not playing and his answer was that he would play him more.

This right here is a big issue and has been bothering me all day. How can we win the ring when we have a coach that can't even make simple subs? He didn't play Bosh in game 5 versus Boston and it cost us and Lebron had to pull us out of the fire with a legendary game. How are we supposed to win it all when it takes him a whole game to figure out simple adjustments? Am at a loss for words man.

We need to split at all costs. For some reason, I have this weird feeling that we can win three in a row at home.

We seriously need some more off ball movement all this standing around iso bs is not winning us this title. Bosh NEEDS to start and stop shooting 3's. If wade and lebrons jumpers are not falling just attack more we can easily get potential and1's everytime. JJ cole and anthony need to see more playing time.

Game 2 is a must win IMO. I don't think this team can take 3 in a row. 2006 was the exception, not the norm.

We ran out of gas in that 2nd half. Spo is going to have to find a way to get LeBron and company a break even in the 1st half.

56 points in the paint for OKC. :nonono:

I just watched the LeWade press conference and some reporter mentioned OKC scoring 56 points in the paint and asked how we're going to stop that.

LeBron replied, "By not letting them score 56 points in the paint."

Those Kobe type answers piss me off. It was a legit question and something the team needs to fix.

Wade's said he wasn't disappointed with his decision making shooting the ball. Well, he should be.

There needs to be some freaking countability on this team. Why do our players and coaches never put blame on themselves?

Does Spo realize that Westbrook is a mental midget?

Pissing him off benefits us.

We might as well shove/hit harder on our fouls, cuz everytime we touch an OKC player it is a foul. Might as well make it count and prevent the and-1.

I want to see Riley "no lay up rule" style fouls to prevent those paint points. Let those youngsters know thu can't come into our paint.

56 points in the paint, them living at the line, no pushing the tempo, a tight rotation and ****ty shot selection just ain't gonna get it done.

We need a response in Game 2; better job, better effort.

It hurts, doesn't it? :lol:

I can still hear that Bibby late 3 in Game 3 against the Knicks. Hell, I still have some of them echoing in my head from last year's Finals.

It was simply a game of two halves. We did not adjust or toughen up to their intensity in the second half.

Even when we we're playing great and up 13, I think we all as Heat fan know that means very little most of the time with this team. Perhaps we started TOO well, sounds dumb but it happens to us sometimes.

It really is on Wade and Bosh to both step up. I don't buy into the Wade age thing, people on here talk like he is 60. The guy has barely turned 30. It's obvious it's injury that is holding him back. I just hope he can get the right treatment to help his performances because we know LeBron is likely to have 30+ point games for the remainder of the series, but at the moment with Wade we simply don't know what we're gonna get.

Game 2 is a must win imo. I really don't fancy going back to Miami 0-2. I know it happened in 2006 but we are facing a totally different beast here.

^ same.

We let off of the gas peddle. We made Westbrick irrelevant in the 1st half. Him and KD stepped up in the 2nd half.

We got to keep Westbrook shooting, which means pissing him off since he is a mental midget. More shots for him = less shots for Durant.

It's 1 game, relax. See how Spo adjusts for Game2. People criticized him in the Indy series while we were trailing, and in last series when we were trailing. He made adjustments (some popular and some not) and we won games. Let things work out. No point complaining when the future hasn't been written. PEACE.

Key adjustment is key in on WB. Durant gets so many shots off the ball that it's so hard to stop him. WB, you can. He sucks in first half, Heat led by 7. He exploded liek a superstar in 2nd half, and the Heat got blown out.

I rotate Lebron/Wade on him, and have Battier exclusively on Durant. Let Durant go off. Who cares?

Wade was guarding Westbrook for most of the 2nd half, and if he wasn't they had LBJ on him

They put LBJ on westbrook more towards the end


It's not like Westbrook was being defended by Chalmers, we were hiding Chalmers on Fisher
Stop being so disrespectful.

Spo is gonna spo no matter what. I do expect adjustments for Game 2 to be made. If I'm correct, Bosh will start, and he will get more touches. We can no longer afford to have Bosh star as a spot up 3 point shooter. With Bosh playing more, that SHOULD also allow for LBJ to get a little bit of rest. As for rotations? 6 men won't work. He's going to have to play his bench.

We'll see what he does. This team looked very lost in the 2nd half. Those miracle 3's from Battier are not something we can depend on, if anything, execution should be it.
