What MIA is doing is a disgrace! You can`t put a terrible team like that on the court, you just can`t! Don`t tell me there aren`t any better prospect in the NBDL than this!

And we only shot 38% from the floor! :roll:

Haha, Pierce just mentioned that Miami put a bunch of D leaguers out there and said we did what we were supposed to do and ended the press conference.

How could you bet against us, man? Seriously, the Sonics should beat this team by more than 22.

We have to prove ourselves against Chicago now. After all, ESPN picked them to win the East, so that means they're better than us.

What the hell is this? 9 players played for the Heat. 5 of them were undrafted, three were second rounders and the other was Ricky Davis.

Incredible. Gotta be the first team in history to boast this. the Celtics were bad last year, but at least they didn't have to resort to giving 4 D-Leaguers 30 minutes a game.

Michael Jordan has hit 17 FG in a game by himself 96 times.

Record for fewest FG by a team in the shot clock era.

I love PP's postgame quote:

"They got D-Leaguers out there, so I think we just handled our business," the Boston forward said, listing some of the five Miami players who spent time in the developmental league this season. "We're supposed to do that. We knew this was a game we were supposed to win, and we just focused from the jump and went out and did it."

Oh and quick note...

3 more wins (in 9 remaining games!) and we clinch the best record in the NBA (and homecourt throughout the playoffs).

lol @ PP shutting down the press conference, tapping KG and saying "lets go". almost like he was annoyed at team miami fielded.

Man, I feel bad for Heat fans right now. How could you watch that team all year, even if you are a huge basketball and Heat fan?

That game was just completely unwatchable for me even with my team winning. I didn't watch another second after about 8 minutes through the 1st quarter. And judging by some of their box scores, this wasn't exactly too far off their common performance.

At least when the Celtics sucked last year they were competitive in the games they lost and had some young pieces that would be around for the future playing. The Heat have a bunch of DLeaguers with no future on their team playing and their future of DWade and their pick this year sitting out/not there yet. Just an awful team to watch.

Oh well, at least they've got a chance at Beasley (and won a ring recently) and a Wade/Beasley/Matrix core. If they get lucky, that's pretty nice, but as we found out last year...the lottery is a big if.

I'm going to be laughing even harder when the Heat get the 4th pick in the lottery.

I mean honestly, I thought the Globe was having fun when they said D-league team... but 3/5th maybe even 4/5ths of there starers are D-league worthy!

riley is a douchebag for not suffering thru this and pretending to be scouting. he took over the team when they were good and doesn't stand by them when they're bad. typical slick back, la laker showboat frontrunner.

Derrick Rose has been looking pretty damn good too. We have a lot of pieces to work with, a huge expiring in Marion which could opt out, could opt in, or could be traded for more pieces, a ton of other trade options; we'll be fine, as long as Wade comes back to 100%.

Yep, Miami's definitely got options especially since their pick is going to be real high. I'd package the pick with Marion to get Wade help.
