The image doesn't work

maaan I had fun making threads lol, oh well in a few months I guess lol

I'd like this win, gotta beat our division guys

[Dwyane_Wade2006]

Won't happen, but please PLEASE no Chalmers

[Sign5]

I'm seriously tired of Chalmers handling the ball, just stand in the corner.

I'm seriously tired of Chalmers handling the ball, just stand in the corner.

yeah whats up with that?

he is back up SG, I know they do a lot of ball handling too, but he is acting like a PG out there. He needs to play like Ray Allen did.

Rio was doing so well off the ball, but now he wants to handle the ball more, and that doesn't help this team at all. Not with his turn overs, bonehead plays, bad fast breaks...

Rio does more harm than good lol. I like when Rio gets his 3's, or gets a nice shot at the rim. BUT not handling the freakin' ball too much. It kills our momentum and offensive flow.

[HEYMANQueHoraEs]

That Chalmers fast break tho. Anyways, I am expecting the team to bounce back and pull out a win on the road after that sloppy performance. Headless chickens 4 lyfe.

Get the win, that's all I want. You guys were disappointing in the second half, get better!

[RexBoyWonder]

Hornets look bad to start the season but somehow im sure they'll shoot 15-18 from 3 against us.


BTW did a Bulls fan just opened our game thread?

This Heat team is still figuring itself out. Didnt play its best basketball yesterday, but then again they a had pretty evident matchup issue.

As long as they continue moving the ball and playing cohesive, this Heat team will be dangerous later in the year.

I still think were missing a scorer off the bench. Thats the only thing I see that im not really comfortable with. Who can keep us in it when the offense stalls. Right now its Rio and thats not a good thing.

[Bourne85]

I agree with whoever said it in last game thread, if chalmers is gonna be getting so many minutes I might have to stop watching the heat for a bit. I HATE that mans game. And when spo went full tard mode and put a 3 pg lineup I almost threw up.

Very disappointed in Wade last night, harden out played him even defensively. Harden might just be the best SG in the league, with Kobe ahead of Wade as well.

Cole and Chalmers seriously have to GO! I cannot stress that enough. Both are just terrible basketball players. Napier is a rookie and I already have triple the confidence in him as I do Colmers combined.

Bosh needs more minutes and ATLEAST 20FGA. Wade should get 15-20FGA as well.

Mcbob, injured or not has been pathetic as well.

Deng has attacked the rim well, his shot is way off, never been much of a shooter. His defense has been alright. But he is a better defender than he has been showing. This spo chicken head defense might be throwing him off a bit.

[Aussie Heat Fan]

Must admit I had a bad feeling about the Houston game. Not sure there is a worse match-up out there for us with Howard's size inside and their perimeter shooting. We didn't play well yet were within 4 late in the game.

Luckily they are in the West and won't affect us.

Despite the loss, still enjoying this team apart from copping Wario the last game and a half. He was doing so well in his role off the ball as a back-up 2 guard and then all of a sudden he's just about the primary ball handler. Ugh.

Tomorrow (or today whatever it is over there) is a big game. Horncats haven't been playing great from the little I've seen, particularly their starts. Get off to a good start and go on with it. Big Al is a bit of a worry but their offense is pretty average overall still. Keep the ball moving and we should get the W and keep the no.1 seed!

If the season continues with its current trend, I would love to see Riley try to pull off a Norris Cole for Tim Hardaway Jr. deal. Hardaway is buried behind JR and Iman, New York has garbage at PG, it could work out for both sides.

Plus, how awesome would it be to have Michael Biamonte yell out "TIM HAAARDAWAY THREEEEEE!!!!!!!"

Could you imagine that kid, with the fire he plays with, playing for his hometown, with his dads name in the rafters. That would make my season.

[Bourne85]

Tim Hardaway jr is not a very good basketball player. As much as I hate Cole and chalmers, they are better than him. Especially defensively.

[Altered_Beast]

Tim Hardaway jr is not a very good basketball player. As much as I hate Cole and chalmers, they are better than him. Especially defensively.

i dont agree with that at all. tim has more upside than those two and hes bigger and stronger than cole/chalmers will ever be

he can also shoot pretty well from what ive seen

[heater4life]

Tim Hardaway jr is not a very good basketball player. As much as I hate Cole and chalmers, they are better than him. Especially defensively.

I honestly havent watched him enough to see his defensive play. But the kid is an athlete that can handle and score in transition and has a good enough shot to get off curls and screens. Thats more than we can say for Wario and Cole.

More of a nostalgic idea with a possibility of function.

[heater4life]

Deng got hurt last night.

There you go Spo haters. Maybe you shouldnt rush to judgement.

[Heat_Fan_87]

Houston just a bad matchup for us with their 3pt shooters. hornets will be another tough game. Al jeff gonna get his and so is kemba.

Don't suck.
