The whole Wizards team is no joke. When they get Nene & Beal back they gonna be in a pain in the ass as far as the southeast division title goes

[DefenseWins]

Speaking of the south east division, we really gotta win that ****.

We are atleast a lock for top 4 team if we win it, right?

I think we will be higher than Atlanta, but Hornets and Wiz... they are the ones to watch. Hornets almost lost their game too then came back from 24 pts...

[DefenseWins]

they do pump fake noise into the arena...

The Miami Heat listed a sellout crowd of 19,744 for Wednesday's season-opening victory over the Washington Wizards at AmericanAirlines Arena. At least one onlooker thought he heard even more.

During the broadcast of the Heat's 107-95 victory, the Heat's first game in five seasons without LeBron James on the roster, Wizards television broadcaster Steve Buckhantz said:

"They've gone to the canned crowd noise here in Miami, which is, I guess, something you have to do when LeBron James leaves."

That led to an immediate and pointed rebuke Thursday to the Sun Sentinel from Heat Executive Vice President Michael McCullough.

"I don't know who Steve Buckhantz is. I don't give a crap who Steve Buckhantz is," he said. "I am happy to have him sit in our sound booth and see we don't pump in extra crowd noise. We don't have to.

"We never have, never will, and don't need to pump in crowd noise. We don't do that here."

In the wake of Buckhantz's comment, and the accompanying video, Kelly Dwyer of Yahoo's "Ball Don't Lie" blog noted:

"The Heat still, um . . . they kind of still pump in crowd noise. I'm watching the archived game right now, and there's that underlying hum that isn't commensurate with what is going on between the lines."

The video is above.

McCullough said AmericanAirlines Arena is loud . . . because it's loud.

"We have fights with the NBA all the time because of our sound level," McCullough said. "Their meter picks up our crowd noise as being too loud. We've had numerous discussions with the NBA about it."

Of Buckhantz citing the absence of James, McCullough said, "We had pent up emotion and it came out last night.

"What he should have been saying is, 'Boy, it's really loud in here."

A big FU to all the losers who constantly pick at the fans/crowd. Sell-out crowd, b-b-but I thought all Heat fans went to Cleveland how was the crowd so packed? I'm sure every non-heat fan were waiting to see a scanty attendance but then they were disappointed with the turnout and had to resort to 'lol they're using fake noise'. Like seriously it's pathetic, LeBron is gone and the Heat hate is still strong. FOH!

A motivated Bosh getting actual getting plays called for him is a dangerous thing. Wade at least wasn't hurt so thats a victory.

And kind of closed the game for us.

Gortat is proving to be a joke vs Vucevic right now...... But Vucevic is an under rated boss.

When is Mcroberts returning?

I'd like to know too. Last night was the first bball I saw since the finals last year. Was surprised to see he was injured.

Had toe surgery, no return date as of now. Been "close" since preseason started.

Thanks for the update. He's going to be a starter, right?

Of course. If Shawne Williams was our starter for the season half the board would be on suicide watch

The HEAT have fairweather bandwagon fans...
The HEAT have no fans, they all left...
The HEAT have a full house but they pump extra crowd noise in...
What will they come up with next?
