11/15: Miami Heat @ Denver Nuggets, 10.30 p.m. ET - TNT

[Heat fan06]

Will watch it again later on league pass.

LeBron James suffered a bruised right shoulder during a 98-93 win by the Miami Heat over the Denver Nuggets.

James was receiving ice and stimulation treatment after the game, but isn't considered a serious injury.

Knee contusion, ankle sprain, and now this. WARRIOR.
Upcoming games vs the Suns, Bucks, and Cavs should allow him to take it easy.

Fear the deer. They're 3-4 against the Heat in the big three era and look like a playoff team this season. And I don't think LeBron knows how to take it easy. I thought maybe he'd let someone else win MVP this season but it looks like he wants another one.

It's tempting to avoid posting here this season. The GB has been more practical about the Heat's early season than this board. That's kind of sad.

People back out calling Spo a moron, bitching about wanting to trade players and basically acting like they haven't seen this team play, even for the last two seasons.

Even new fans should already be aware that this version of the team just doesn't care about the regular season. Anyone scared we can't play defense should realize that the only difference this season has been a lot less Joel and Turiaf, with more Ray and Shard. Swapping two players doesn't make our defense this bad, it's just effort.

I'm not endorsing lack of discussion, as that would be stupid, but some people need to temper their reactions a bit. Some people are getting really worked up over a lot of nothing. PEACE.

This. It's getting ridiculous.

Damn. Of course, Brandon Jennings the HEAT killer.

[Woolyy]

lol at this Wade stuff. personally, I don't think he should've played against the Clips, but the national stage means something to them still. just let him sit a few more games, he'll be good.

[LEIF]

nice after 10 years to finally get that "AT DENVER automatic L" monkey off of our backs. People are concerned with Wade and our defense when honestly I think for a team that is built for the post season and inclined to coast until April we are winning close games (both Denver games, Houston, Atlanta) and our ball movement and depth is clearly upgraded.

we are fine.

enjoy these days and times folks.

great post bro. Last year, I was one of the very overreactive fans. But that playoffs teached me alot.
Going down 2 - 1 to indiana, losing bosh to injury.... come back and win 4 - 2.
Then vs boston, losing 2 - 0 lead...going down 3 - 2..big game in boston..coming back and winning 4 -3.

That , that teached me to be patient this year up until playoffs.regular seasons means nthg.`

[AAAAA1]

Regular season means alot actually. Home court advantages, thats huge in playoffs. And judging by last year thank god we had it againt the Pacers and Boston.

[cb1]

In between the few people asking for Wade to be traded and the others responding by calling majority of their own fanbase bandwagoners, this board is becoming impossible to read. It's just sickening right now how defensive people get whenever Wade is called out. It seems like the GB people have gotten to some people on this board. Guess what, Wade isn't the first superstar to play with injuries. If he plays with little effort then we're gunna call him out and there's nothing anybody can do about it.

Judging by what last year? They had a big win in Indy to tie the series, and a HUGE win in Boston to tie that series. This team doesn't need home court, they won in every opposing areas last playoffs, they need health. That's about it.

Regular season matters to establish good habits. Homecourt advantage sucks for the Finals.

Glad to be wrong about thinking this was an automatic loss. Figured we'd mail it in, but happy we didn't. Defensive effort looked better but the rebounding was bad. Had a bad feeling that we'd cough up the lead even when we were up to 19. Just a tough, gritty win and we need to take the gimme in Phoenix to go a respectable 4-2 on the road trip.

On another note, road trips to the West Coast annoy me so much, I have to DVR the game then do my best to avoid spoilers the next day.

[RexBoyWonder]

This just shows how much Wade sucks. We havent won in Denver since 2002 and we win without Wade taking his god damn hero shots and Leaving shooters open.

I want him traded SOOO BAD.

hey take it easy there

Who the fk cares about a win in Denver? Wade leads the HEAT for that 06 Chip. Shut the fk up with this ****

Seriously, the lack of mods and all these new idiot trolls make this once great board to barely readable.

The old guys need to step up, get a mod that can do his **** job and clean up this ****.

A championship team with a 7-3 record and all i can see in this board is whining and stupidity, mostly from non-Heat fans.

Whoa, stop being so defensive. Do you REALLY think Wade will be traded? No one wants that contract.

Just joking, lighten up man!

STFU, nobody thinks you're funny, trading Wase isn't "funny", the constant bitching and whining you and a few other non-Heat fans brought to this board isn't "joking" and if there was a single Mod around here a few of you should have been banned already.

I urge the Real Heat fans that love this team and want to see it succeed and have a smart, honest, thoughtful discussion to step their game up, ignore the trolls and stop the stupied, lame, ridiculous whining.

Thx guys, let's make this place fun again and bring back the sanity.

What whining??? From you is all I see. I mean you're calling out MODS cursing at them, that's pretty extreme. I've found the overreactions on this board funny. You on the other hand seem really upset....thats creepy dude.

[Vertical Limit]

I'm not going to flipflop/back track to what I said before the season started on the ESPN thread that ranked Wade at 8. Wade's my favorite player in the NBA but I said at this point of their careers, Melo is a better player and Wade will have career lows all across his stats. The guy does not have a go to move and he did not work on his jump shot like he promised he would.

I understand why people are mad, we're paying this guy as much as we are paying Lebron and Bosh and he's been on this team the longest and he just isn't nearly as consistent as those two. He spent a whole offseason signing books and **** while Lebron and Bosh were putting in work.

Still though we need Wade on this team, the guy has 4 months to get into playoff shape. This is the luxury of signing Ray Allen, everyone here knows Wade has been prone to injury the past couple of years, so we can still win without him in the regular season, but we're not going to win a championship without him. He needs to get healthy, get into shape, and work on his game. He has 72 games to do all that, which is plenty of time. If he needs to sit out a couple games or a month, so be it. I just want him to be 100% in the playoffs.

With that said, you guys can't be serious. We **** won, what are you guys bitching and moaning about? WE WON. Can we freaking enjoy a win without you guys talking **** about the guy who is responsible for our first ever championship? Wade is irreplaceable to true Heat fans. So back the hell up, he's going to be just fine.

How many times has Wade looked great in november?
