Man. When you drop 31/10/9/3 on 52% and you still ..

...get blown out by 20.. Something major needs to change.

Lebron is putting up historic numbers every game yet it almost like it means nothing. If you remember in his Cav days when Lebron had a monster game it is almost like a guarantee win. Now with the Heat it is like at least 5 players must have really good games to win. I mean, the bad play by the team is just pushing harder for a Lebron MVP. Nothing more.

I feel like something needs to happen. Be is a major trade before February or a permanent lineup change.
Last year Heat's clear problem was interior defense. Now this year it is as well, only problem now? Their perimeter defense has caught up with it and is looking horrible. Teams dropping season highs in 3's on us every other night.

Curious to what yall think some things that need to be adjusted are?

I know people want to blame it on "defensive effort". But that just isn't the case.

We already have several panic threads, the mods will hopefully take care of this one.

I say we bring back Chris Quinn. He's the answer to all of our problems at the PG. Cut LeBron to make room.

I wonder if you people realize what your typing as youre typing it...

This guy wants to blow the team up by February because we got blown out in a meaningless game in DEC , after weve already won a Championship with virtually the same roster.

LOL!

Last two games since then have been much better defensively.

The Heat are clearly coasting. LeBron is trying, but Wade is playing lazy waiting for the playoffs, along with some other guys too. I can tell when they decide to play and when they just coast.

Last night vs Hawks, they were having fun and playing with higher energy. You could easily tell.

Some of the losses we've had, the guys were just coasting.

I think they are waiting for the playoffs

I know what you are getting at strength but truthfully I just disagree, that is just a cop out. There is no way these professional NBA players are "waiting for the players to try".. They are trying to win every single night but are just getting out played.

Few things I noticed from tonight.

Haslem and Bosh do not mesh. Haslem is constantly getting under Bosh's feet, trying to set the screen that Bosh should be setting. They seem unorganized.

Also Chalmers is really getting eaten alive by opposing pointguards. I don't know if it is the chip on his shoulder or the injury is lingering. But something needs to change.
