Wade kind of mis-timed the pass though. It was a bit behind Lebron.

So what exactly did you sub JJ in for Spo? He's not a good defender.

any news when house is coming back? I think he would really help the heat in prime time situations

Just started watching the game. I see Wade has bounced back from his atrocious performance last game, but it is another close first half as usual. By the way, why has Erick Dampier played absolutely no minutes against the Blazers?

Horrible defense in the first half we are lucky they missed all those 3's wide open. BRING THE PAIN in the 3rd quarter!!!

He's not hurt, just a situational player who doesn't belong into the rotation unless we need a spark off the bench.

Because he's not owed 18 million over the next 5 seasons. That's the only logical reason I can come up with (that or he's getting VERY early rest for the postseason).

I've been watching and your guess is as good as mine.

GENIUS!

Thank you. We're fortunate to have such a creative and intelligent coach at the helm of the most talented team ever assembled.

I was hoping the answer would be that Joel has been playing some solid defense by altering a lot of shots inside

Good 1st half from the big 3 generally. We let them get back in the game by playing bad offense vs zone defense but then LBJ started driving and dishing against the zone and it worked nice. Defense hasn't been bad but we can get even better now. Let's make them not reach 90 points guys

Joel played 12 reboundless pointless blockless minutes. But did manage to get him self 2 fouls... fckin idiot

KDS91 · Post #177 » by **KDS91** » Mon Jan 10, 2011 3:14 am

So far the keys to the game has been:

Spo playing Joel too much.

Spo not trying Dampier

Spo taking out people when they're hot (Wade 7/7 FG with 3:00 min left in 1st)

Sadly, I'm use to Spo's bull****. I don't purport to know more about the game or team than an NBA coach, but puzzling decisions are just that. He does some good things, then turns right around and undercuts it.

Spo is like the coach version of Chalmers.

Um... CDR, Dudley and Nick Young were all playing shooting guard when we played their teams...

WHERE IS MIKE MILLER SHOULD BE THE REAL QUESTION. He should be out there with wade, bron and bosh as well not just with scrubs like arroyo and the warden.
SPO got me raging at MM limited play time.
