4/21/12 - Miami Heat vs. Washington Wizards - 7.30 ET - Sun

Can't wait to read what this coach says, did I see COLE/Chalmers on the floor at the same time while JJ was on the bench?

dude I was complaining about this. Then I just had a face palm when Cole AIRBALLED the 3 when that could have been JJ. Mario was running PG just fine, why stay with Cole who messed up the whole momentum? It's coaching decisions like this that IRK me. When a guy doesn't have it going, BENCH HIS ASS unless it's Wade or LBJ. JJ brought us back in the game but stayed in the dog house LOL.

It was also Mario feeding Miller, the right play but Cole never did. He just kept chucking.

[ClintEastwood]

are there no lenses in wade's glasses?

They said Lebron was overzealous , got taped up and everything. Sucks. I wanted us to have some more control of out destiny. Doesn't really matter much who we play in the east but if we play NY we're going to actually have to play hard, sixers, wade can rest ALLLLLLLLLLLL he wants

Ye that's something people won't admit but the knicks will make us work. As much as i hate them they still have Melo who can get hot at anytime and Tyson Chandler who kills Joel on the boards. I still expect us to beat them in 5

[DefenseWins]

if we get the 2nd seed and Philly gets the 7th, this won't look so bad.

[iboxlefty]

Spo had JJ riding the bench in the 4th too, when we need points and Norris Cole is really a 2 guard, seriously. Minus a bunch of turnovers by him and Mario, we win smh

[Miamis3rdRing]

If we don't have HCA in the Finals (We probably won't), take at least 1 of the first 2 games and I'm cool.

Sit out the Big 3 and continue to let the scrubs play. It's funny and sickening to watch Spoelstra get out coached against a team that should be tanking.

LeBron playing for 5 minutes could have won the game for us comfortably. Makes me think the team doesn't care about getting HCA at all.

Edit:

if we get the 2nd seed and Philly gets the 7th, this won't look so bad.

Philly/Indiana would be a lot better than NY/Boston.

*We'll beat all 4 of those teams in no more than 6 games.

Dude has no lense swag

[djkeem]

oh yea i forgot the turnovers had a huge impact in this game. but like i said we will learn from this

[cb1]

Honestly there's nobody to blame but Spo for this one i never thought i would be mad about a loss that didn't include the big 3

[arsenic]

if we get the 2nd seed and Philly gets the 7th, this won't look so bad.

I anticipate The Knicks will lose to both The Hawks and The Clips.

[DefenseWins]

Knicks actually are opting for rest it seems more than winning. They might try to get Amare back in a groove or so.

But if Melo is resting for the playoffs, they might drop to the 8th seed.

I think Knicks will lose against the Clippers.

Atlanta I'm not sure, they barely beat the Celtics without their BIG 4!! lol.

And just really thinking about it... 2nd seed is best to just avoid the Celtics no matter who we meet in the 1st round. It'd suck if we had NY, then the Celtics (if we got number 1 seed) and then what, the Bulls? That's one hard ass road. Celtics want one last hoorah and I'm not sure I want to see that against our team lol.

[Zefyr]

21 turnovers with no lbj bosh, wade got hurt and only lost by 2.

I aint even mad.

Hey pro coaches out there maybe you should apply for Spo's job next year so you could stop bitching about him.

Going through a hard road prepares you and gives you that championship resolve and mental toughness i think our team really needs that

[Miamis3rdRing]

I fear Boston more than I fear Chicago.

The Celtics put up a better fight with a one-armed Rondo than the Bulls did last season. A healthy Rondo and that series goes to 6 and perhaps even a 7th game.

Funny to see Bulls fans (Come out lurkers, I smell you) say "Now Heat fans will say HCA doesn't matter"

No, HCA doesn't matter against Chicago. If we had HCA against Chicago we win in 5. Without it we win in 6 max.

You get one more game in your building. I'm sure your players are disappointed. Its a lot easier to go start your fishing trip in the Bahamas from Miami. Hope Rose has a lot of frequent flyer miles.

[DefenseWins]

cb1, it also means 40+ mins a night for LeBron to be run down by Finals time....

it would mean so much more if the Heat had atleast an easy 1st round. Philly made it hard too, all the games were close. But the Heat also never stomped on their necks, they let them hang around.

Last year their clutchness had to come out and it did. But come Finals time they were just exhausted and our type of defense for those 3 straight rounds and then the Finals against possibly a better coach than Spo, won't look too good.

[RhapidKid]

Doesn't matter if we face NY or Philly. It'll be wrapped up in 5. I don't know why people are talking about both teams.

[iboxlefty]

Even Eddy Curry couldn't get some run, why is he on the bench? Might as well get an active Big out the d league, i keep saying it smh

Yes it does, one doesn't require much energy and the other does
