Game Thread 30/10/2012 Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics

[420]

When is the last time this team had 5 players in double digits, I can't remember.

Game 5 of the NBA finals. actually we had six!

lmao that was too easy. Every Heat fan should know that answer.

*que the GB and salty Chicago fans crying over Wade's comments*

And of course, some of the moronic Chicago fans who are still pissed over the Summer of 2010 and Wade pushing Hamilton despite the history between these guys, are the ones with the harshest comments. Even if you try to defend Wade, they will bombard you about how he is a cry baby/uses steroids/bad father/sex party hoster/dirty player etc.

No surprise that it is the same people every time. The ignorance of the GB is reaching new heights with the demonization and character assassination of Dwyane Wade.

That is how you truly know that the NBA season has started .

One of the weirdest calls all night.

lmao I usually don't click on Heat-hater threads, but I'll check it out now that you mentioned it.

Don't got any complaints honestly. Sure our defense gave up a lot of points but this is the regular season, I'm not expecting intense defense during the regular season, I don't want our players to wear out, it is important we stay fresh and healthy, still 81 games to go and that's a long way. Do enough to get a Top 2 seed and we'll roll over everyone in the playoffs.

Looks like the Knicks game won't go ahead of friday.

Aside of this very true point, let's not forget the pace we played at. If you run, you'll allow the other team some easy scoring opportuities in transition as well. The difference is, you won't find a more efficient fastbreak team than us and I'm glad the coaching staff has finally come to that realization. No more halfcourt ball that's dependent on LeBron and a healthy Wade. Just push the ball up the court, take advantage of your athleticism and have the guy score who's the first down the floor. One time LeBron got the rebound or a steal and Wade just darted down the floor, passed by three Celtics and got the easy dunk. We even push the ball after made baskets and look for the easy path to the basket first, which is exactly the development I wanted to see.

That's our strength and we should play to it, even if it means giving up a couple of more points. Come postseason, we know we can still play a slow halfcourt game with a grind-it-out defense, but for the regular season, this style of play should be more efficient and actually better for the players since they get a lot more easy scores. The only thing that could come into play is fatigue, but what do we have Ray, Rashard, UD, MM and Norris on the bench for. I loved the way we played last night and hope we'll keep it up. I

Spo is on recored saying he'd like us to play faster in a higher pace, and it makes totall sense. we have guys that score, on the bench and in the starting 5. they just need shots. playing fast give them a chance to take on some of the scoring load. Bosh is also one of the most mobile big men out there, and we've proven to be one of the best fast breaking teams around..so we have all the reasons to go for it and pump up the pace.

Damn this post came out kinda dumb but im super tired. very excited for the things to come, feel like we can take a big step forward this year, playing level wise.

Sun-Sentinel says the league called them and that the game will go on. Shocking since transportation up there is so bad right now.

Man,what a great game last night.Awesome tone-setter,for the rest of the season.

AMEN bro..

Chicago fans are the absolute worst. I mean they turn random threads on youtube clips to opportunities to bash Heat players.. They are the definition of Butthurt.. Its so rampant that even the Bulls Board Mods join in and promote that ****... and that's a big reason I would love for us to face them this year in the playoffs.. maybe first round.. sweep them..

It's going to be great seeing Rose leaving Chicago after getting tired of losing.. Priceless..

The GB has become slightly better this year compared to last.. but I was only a lurker then and not really a RealGm user.. Still.. there are many many threads out there, thinly veiled for baiting heat fans.. That steroid thread is a great example.. Its Ridiculous..

Another thread that recently popped up on the dubious T on LeBron that was later rescinded is also a great example.. It was a non-issue and still wouldn't be locked.. Just Sad..

I assume the Knicks game is still on, right? It better be, I want Miami Heat basketball.

Our offense is such a treat to watch now, it's like the current San Antonio offense on steroids.

Ya the game is going on as planned.

[RexBoyWonder]

ricochet - We need to remember we practically destroyed the Bulls and Celtics not only for the last couple of seasons, but for the next few seasons as well. no wonder they're so butthurt, we spanked their butt as hard they both thought about blowing their teams up, Bulls even thought about tanking. that's how sad and and hopeless we made them. lol.

We didnt just beat them in a epic fashion - we killed their hopes and foreseeable future. and deep down they know it. it's eating them alive.

[Tien]

The more hate there is, the more we know it hurts them.

Music to my ears.

[OtW]

Ok, Wade does have his share of plays that can be seen as 'dirty' (even though we can justify them usually as pay back or sensationalized freak accidents, ala Rondo and Kobe), but this whole debate has been getting out of hand over the past few days.

Rondo is starting to chip in. http://www.slamonline.com/online/media/ ... yer-video/

Why are we still talking about this game and these losers?

LOSERS.

Two years ago - LOSERS
Last year - LOSERS
Game 2 nights ago - LOSERS

Why bother? Let their fans whine and cry and moan and call Wade a steroid user, and dirty.

Who cares?

+1 hate even wasting time to talk about this stuff. Just enjoy the butthurt and the wins.
