Turiaf would have looked good in San Antonio.

So you were saying?
I'm not sure how much longer I can take the disappointment along with the emotional abuse guys.

after these last two games, there is no way the heat should be favoured to win this series. That said, you can only hope this adversity motivates lebron and wade to persevere

I just don't know man... Is being a hardcore fan of the most hated team in basketball really worth it? Sports are supposed to be for fun and entertainment.
Being a Heat fan just isn't even fun anymore. When we win, we're supposed to and all everyone does is complain about the refs or cry about LeBron "joining forces." When we lose, it's like the entire sports world is down our throats.

It's because you give a **** about what some internet trollz and paid tv trollz say. Have your own opinion and don't give a **** about what they say.

we're only favored because the public are fools and vegas is milking that fact
ppl think bron and wade are just going to activate superstar mode and takeover by any means necessary
that superhero videogame nonsense is ridiculous, but the public believes it
i blame jordan

Take todays game. If Wade plays like he does 95% of the time we win this game by a good margin. I know you can do a lot with ''ifs'', but that's a small ''if'' to me.

Question in response to those who hate spo like TRG is questioning why anyone believes miami is the best team...
Like TRG asked...... but in my own question... instead of those of you who believe the team is better than any other team... What does Spo do wrong? I think he shouldn't have started pittman tonight. I think sometimes he should stay away from his paper rotations.. Guy has been elite at inbounding scoring plays EXCEPT in late game situations.
But what else can Spo do, that an all star cast of assistants can't help him with? Spo can't make a guy like James Jones who tons of fans thought deserved playing time, hit wide open shots thats hes missing in the playoffs.. or a battier, miller, chalmers who have shown glimpses of elite shooting but have failed to be consistent.
I think this team needs shooters who don't miss wide open. LeBron should average 2+ more assist a game with legit shooters. These guys aren't consistent enough.
5-42? in the series? in 3 games? The team shoots 15 a game, and at one point were #1 in the NBA in 3pt %, and finished in the top 10. I will certainly credit indiana's D, but we are missing WIDE open shots. Whats the deal? What can a different coach do that Spo can't? Inspire the troops? Help me here.

The issue with Spo is this :
Never implemented effective half court system
Misuses Bosh
Doesn't trust role players
Stuck with bad overhelp defense way too long
Does not adjust
Doesn't motivate
Bad in game decisions
Runs lebron into the ground
Is way out his league
