PG: Spo and Cole continue their regression 

Post#1 » by PaulieWal » Sat Apr 5, 2014 2:46 am

I don't mind the loss but the way in which we lost was quite stupid.

We ran LeBron into the ground some more.
Played Cole a bunch of minutes when he was a huge net negative
Spo made dumb decisions all night long

We are lucky the Raps beat the Pacers tonight.

Worst part is the Knicks game will be that much more difficult now. It's only a day's rest. Hopefully Wade is back.

Those were costly too.

Biggest takeaway I have is LeBron looking dead tired in the 2nd OT. I don't think I have ever seen him like that.

Naw, we will be fine. As I said in the OP, I don't mind the loss but the manner in which we lost was infuriating.

Nope, Adelman has been even worse than Spo. Maybe not this game but overall Adelman has been mailing this season in. Not defending Spo because he was pure garbage this game, just saying Adelman is probably going to retire after this year.

With Pekovic out, we rebounded well and straight destroyed them on the boards in the second half. It was good to see Bosh go after those.

Cole was worse than garbage tonight and pretty much cost us this game.

This loss would have felt 10X worse if Indy had won tonight. Thank god for the Raps.

We really need to rest LeBron. Honestly, **** the #1 seed for now. Might as well rest Wade and LeBron together.

I'm worried about Cole. He's horrendous and I expect him to play a lot of minutes in the playoffs. He may cost us many playoff games...

Spo plays favorites. Plain an simple. Cole has sucked the ENTIRE YEAR, but that doesn't stop him from being on the floor every night 25min or more plus in crunch time lol.

Same for Lewis, same for Battier. All have been trash all year yet they still get the "coaches trust".

Meanwhile Beasley has had various 20+ scoring games, even won us a couple games. But NOOO, FIRST defensive mistake and he's pulled and kept on the bench for 3 weeks str8 lol.

If we win the title this year it seriously will be a god damn miracle.

Also I knew those wins recently were fools gold. We have been playing HORRIBLE lately, not the way you wanna go into the playoffs. We won those 4 games because they were just horrible teams.

If I'm spo I shut down Lebron bosh an let wade play a few games then rest him final 2-3 games of the season.

Rashard was great tonight.

JJ was great tonight

Haslem was great tonight

Cole was bad enough that he outdid all the good.

That's all y'all do is blame Norris. We lose because of many more things, the f**king turnovers we had, missed free throws, bad decisions, defense, not protecting the paint, just dumb s**t. Spo should've played Beasley tonight. When we lose it's all Cole's and Spo's fault but when we win, nobody says a damn thing. :banghead:

There were other bad things but cole was easily the worst player on the floor today.

You're right but answer this for me. Was this game winnable despite Cole's play?

There is no defending the scrub that is Cole. Defending him should warrant a suspension IMO

How the hell was Rashard great tonight? 2-8 an -4 plus minus.

Haslem was -10.

You must of watched some other game.
