Let me never speak any more about a Wallace trade for anyone other than a superstar. He got it cranked up last night, as did J-Rich. Okafor was strong. Kudos to Dudley and the 2 Browns. I like the work Big Brown did down low, took it to the hoop a couple times, banged for boards. Little Brown wasn't very productive offensively but he did play some nice D on Mr. Wade.

Interesting the way they ran the spread and the pick & roll. Pretty good execution and spacing, which allowed the penetration drives and passes that set up guys well. Perhaps this team is starting to get it.

The other thing that happened, and was confirmed by the Observer's article this morning, was that the team loosened up. Crash talked to coach and told him they were thinking too much (DUH!). He asked if he could just play within the system and apologize later! OK CRASH, APOLOGY ACCEPTED!!

This team can compete depending on matchups. The Heat is not a very good team now. Beasley is a player, as of course Wade is. I love Halsem (he'd be great here but no chance of getting him).

Chalmers outplayed Felton, and he's a rookie! He certainly outplayed DJ. Augs has moments when he gives you a WOW play, but too many others where he's clearly not ready.

GREAT WIN.

It was interesting, also, to see Michael Jordan sitting five feet from the Bobcats' bench -- close enough for Larry Brown to put him in the game if he hadn't been dressed in a sports coat. I think it helps both the Bobcats' team to see MJ while they're playing, and for fans to see him visibly involved. He should do more of that, and he can do it anytime he wants -- Jordan bought the seats right next to the Bobcats' bench.

Umm, yeah... He had 8 of them. And 7 boards and 17 points.

I'm pretty sure he only had 2 boards and 6 points????

the number of heat fans was down significantly from the last 2 years. just goes to show how many bandwagon fans there are in the world. sad. no doubt all those bandwagon heat fans will show up wearing celtic jerseys later this year. lame bandwagon fans -1.

if i ever have a band i plan to name it "the dwyane wade free throw parade" (DWFTP). it sounds like an lame indie chick band, but i'd blow everyone's minds when i laid down some nasty 70's funk on them, complete with a 10 piece horn line and spandex metallic jumpsuits for all. it's hard for me to truely respect wade as a player when he STILL gets so many calls from the refs. biased refs -1.

i love andre brown on defense. he shows on the pick and roll better than any big man we've had here. plus he has a decent little baby hook in the lane and will put the ball on the floor to get it off. andre brown +1

i think its great that MJ sat behind the bench. this is where he should be anytime he goes to a game. the players and the fans need to see him. he makes a difference. mj +1.

a few things i noticed yesterday....

there isn't a scoreboard anywhere in the arena, showing the score at all times, the stats at all times and the players on the court at all times, like I've seen at the arena down in Miami -- is their a reason why they don't do that at the TWC Arena?

the crowd is very quiet throughout the game, save for when the team scores a basket; do you guys feel the same way?
