Spoelstra credits Mario Chalmers' development largely to Dan Craig, who is still working w/ MC but also now with NC. "Norris has to wait."


I'm glad. Cole needs some of that shooter magic DC worked on Rio. Just mix Cole's defense and slashing with Rio's shooting. So good. Cole's already working on his form with that Noah machine. Hopefully he can get his range good by the playoffs. I also hope he starts getting his floater to drop by then. It's arguably his worst shot right now, but it's the one he's gonna want to use the most. He's gonna be more Tony Parker than Steve Nash (I really gotta stop comparing him to elite guards). PEACE.


Why would you want to mix Cole's defense in when Chalmers is the way better defender.

Seriously I sometimes think I watch different games than you guys on the defensive end with what you guys think of Cole and Miller on that side of the ball.
Your emotions fuel the narratives that you create. You see what you want to see. You believe what you want to believe. You ascribe meaning when it is not there. You create significance when it is not present.

Cole keeps guys out of the paint better than Cole IMO. He gets around screens better, and is quicker to stay in front. Rio has his length, but I find Cole's defense to be better and work better in the system. PEACE.

I think PG is a position of strength for Miami.

What the Heat need from their 1 is not playmaking (that comes from Wade and James). You need excellent defense and 3 point shooting.

Mario Chalmers is your man.
For love, not money.

Dan Craig is a video coordinator. Keep him away from our PGs or he might turn them into robots!

Chalmers 3PT% has increased the same way Mo Williams 3PT% increased when playing with lbj..

It took him a season to know his role

The one thing I love about Chalmers this year is his maturity. He isn't making those boneheaded decisions as much and seems more confident handling the ball. And of course his 3pt shot. The guy has improved so much since last year, he's a perfect fit next to Wade & LeBron.

It would've sucked to lose him last off-season. I could only imagine the reaction if the Heat didn't re-sign him and goes to another team looking like he is now. :lol:

Return to Miami Heat
