If this is true, we MUST play the younger guys (Shabazz and Ennis specifically) to make a realistic run in the Playoffs. We can't work guys like Bird and UD to the ground.

of course we are going to play small, we dont have the size to play big. as long as we adjust the defense, cant be letting teams go off beyond the arc

Well that's a revelation :roll:

The roster isn't built to do anything else unless Hamilton becomes something usable

Similar scenario to Tyler Johnson but not really close.

Terrell Harris was invited to the Miami Heat's training camp on December 12, 2011.[6] On December 24, 2011, it was officially announced that Harris had made the Heat's final roster.[7]

On July 4, 2012, the Heat declined to extend a qualifying offer to Harris, making him an unrestricted free agent.[8] He was re-signed by the Heat on September 11, 2012.[9] The Heat waived him on January 5, 2013.[10] After being waived by the Heat, he was re-acquired by the Vipers.

Marcus Slaughter was the next closest scenario. Patrick Beverley was drafted.

I assumed this

atleast this means Ennis plays off the bench at SF right?

Seems UD/Granger will fight for that back up 4 spot, or it will depend on the other team. Never thought those two would have to fight for a spot while on the same team lmao

Guess Granger will be the new Lewis... hopefully he is better. I know Lewis had his good moments, but it's ridiculous people wanted him to stick around for having a few good games, when 90% of the time he stunk.

Also there will be some Mario-Cole line ups again ugh. Or even Napier.

We'll see. OCTOBER 4th!! (or 3rd.. forgot).

Sadly i think it might be more of Wade at SF with Mario and Cole as our wings. Wade's assist numbers will go up this season

**** small ball, it'll be the death of me, can't stand watching Miami be outrebounded every single game, giving up multiple possessions all the time.

Guards = PG & SG
Wings = SG & SF
Forwards = SF & PF
Bigs = PF & C

I think you meant 'guards'...

How healthy do you all think Wade will be this season?

dolphinatik · Post #956 » by **dolphinatik** » Tue Sep 23, 2014 4:09 pm

. what is good about small ball? I thought we were working towards decreasing the load on our players

Dupas · Post #957 » by **Dupas** » Tue Sep 23, 2014 4:11 pm

Alot. He was comming off a treatment ladt year ahead of schedule. Then came the harmstring. He lost some form in the po and got hot cold in the finals. His knee will bother him for the rest ofhis career. Heck his BOTHERED him all his career. He had problems with it in 2006 finals for example. He can play with it if hes fine with everything. The only times wesaw healthy wade was in 2011 po and season. And tge 27 streak. The most dominant heat part of tge big three apart from finals. He will be fine.

I am just thinking the Heat need to plan to miss Wade for at least 20 games so they should have a gameplan for when he sits out.

That got a great laugh out of me. I am very excited to watch the Heat this season. Actually, there is a small chance I will be moving back down there from Orlando.
