This game has gotten me excited about this team. I always thought this team would end up putting a big run on and either sneaking into the playoffs or falling just shot with a 11-14th pick. For the first time I truly, honestly believe we are destined for a top 3 pick, and through no virtue of tanking, we are so bad, we simply can not win, no matter how hard we try. We flat out suck. Milwaukee by no means played a great game, we are just that bad.

Does anyone else find it ironic that of all Bucks players to kill the Heat in the fourth, it's the two we signed to an offer sheet?

and for all the Debbie Downers here... Marty has it right -- we aren't winning jack this year, so we might as well see who's a player and who's not, and go for the best lottery pick we can. Not saying to not try, but let's face reality.

I've accepted the reality of the situation. So once again Rose for the FTL!!!

It basically is Dolphins redux. Except we never thought it would be like this. I guess we really are the peanut eaters this year.

Even Ira said today on the radio, get Derrick Rose and we're a top team again.

Wow, many of us did say we'd do anything for a title, even if that meant accepting years of mediocrity for a title or atleast just a shot at a title, yet I didn't know we'd be THIS bad. Wow!

Though, I'd do it all over again for another title......

Yeah i'm feeling conflicted now too. The lifetime Heat fan in me wants us to win every single game but in reality .. losing is actually a good thing at this point. It would be so depressing if we won just enough to be like a 7-9 seed and lose out on a lottery pick and don't get anything else out of meaningless wins.

The reason I said Rose FTW is because getting him would be a good thing, how we got him wouldn't be ... but actually drafting him is FTW. lol

The Heat making the play offs would just prolong out suffering, since we would feel miserable after losing in the first round and missing out on a lottery pick. After all, every team plays for a championship and when winning one isn't realistic at this point there really is no positive to come from making the postseason.

So I guess Rose FTW!!!!

We're trying to lose here, and we almost failed at that without Shaq, J-Will, Zo, & Dorell. Milwaukee is ass! Seriously, they're just as garbage as we are, lol. Maybe worse......

Prior to watching the replay of the game, I thought the game was close because of the final score but only to find out later on that Miami made a little run after a big deficit in the 4th qtr. :banghead:


I observe also that Wade looks uninspired the way he plays especially in the 1st half.

Riley said before the start of the 4th qtr. in his interview that its his job to fix the team and coach Fiorentino said he usually mean it when he says it. Looks like there something to look forward but I

Wish the entire team was an expiring contract except for Wade and Cook.

I'm tired of reading about Dorrell Wright's potential after 3 seasons in the league. He just isn't a starter, period. He's a backup. Not a true SF and is definitely not a good enough shooting threat to lock that position.

Our bench:
Chris Quinn, get out of here. Anthony Johnson, who the hell is this guy? Barron? WTF. Smush, eww. Blount.......... enough said.

Worst bench in NBA history.

Thank god Ricky Davis and Jason Williams' contracts expires after this year. I'm not sure if Ricky Davis is better than Antoine Walker, but Antoine is pretty bad himself and Ricky's contract expires a year earlier, so we saved ourselves a season. Ricky takes these crazy shots that are very low percentage shots. He really reminds me of Walker but atleast Walker was solid at times on the post and had some nice passing skills.

Each time I watch Ricky Davis pull up for a shot, I cover my face with my hands. It can be a good one or a terrible shot selection. He's been hogging up the ball alot lately as well.

If only we can trade Smush and player or 2nd rounder [do we have a second rounder?] for an expiring before the deadline.

**** this 2007-2008 team. Pat needs to fix this pile of garbage fast.
