Getting dominated by 30 makes me think we are screwed till 2010, getting beat by 1 or 2 makes me think we just need to turn J-Will into Derrick Rose, and Ricky Davis into Pietrus and we'll be back.


I like that attitude, and I agree.

But it's hard on everyone in the short term when you lose so many of them this way.

Yeah, I'm also happy to continue this losing streak to a degree. I'd like us to get to 18. Having the mark of longest losing streak of all time (worse than our expansion year) would be so amazingly humbling and devastating. It could prompt Shaq to come in to 08-09 at 290 pounds, Wade to skip the US campaign to expand his game and rehab completely and just generally force them to shape up. Second worst in the league stings, worst would absolutely kill these guys.

Close games may kill fans but blowouts just make us turn off.

I prefer the close loss. At least the benefit is that here we're cloer to a top 4 pick.

Minny are looking better and better, only the sonics to worry about at the moment.
I remember when the Dolphins were perennial contenders

Only Fans are Heatlifers. I am a Heatlifer :banghead:

My daughter was oblivious. I am now adopting that attitude.

Tough loss for you guys, i thought you had us beat for sure. We were asleep 90% of the game, luckily for us TD put us on hs back and carried us through for the win. I can see you guys getting some much needed confidence from the game. If i was Indiana i'd be worried about playing you next.

All I can say is Wade needs to trust his team mates and learn to give it up when the defense is closing on him specially after several tries without a success.

Nonetheless, I like the attitude of the team despite nos. of losses.

That is why Bruce Bowens gets paid millions. Pat Riley called consecutive plays for Wade to take the shots. IMO Wade is not driving to the basket like he used to due to his injuries. A look for an open teammate would have been a better play.

I question if those were the plays Riley drew up or if Wade freelanced

especially the 2nd time

The 17 game losing streak our inaugural season was sort of amusing, almost endearing, in way that only a 1st year expansion team could be. The 13 game losing streak our 2nd season was disappointing, but overall the year still proved to be a success because we improved on our final record. But this current 15 game losing streak is just plain disturbing. Injuries and personnel mistakes, as many as we have suffered, shouldn't preclude a team from accidentily winning a single game in month's time.

Ricky Davis & UD have regressed over the season, inexplicably, when they should be picking it up

Wade is Wade (stats wise for the most part, not physically)
holpefully J-Will continues his better play as of late
DQ needs to play more

if they call the foul, the Heat wins the game...last time I heard, a foul still part of the game..to those superb talented ones that can shoot while being held from the arms, more power to you...I've seen Ricky Davis choke too many ending shots so far,,,no thanks!
